Once you provide us with your personal data (hereinafter referred to as "Personal Data"), the Sanofi company to which you are applying becomes its Controller, which means it will decide for what purpose and in what manner your Personal Data is processed in its database.
The Controller will always be the company to which you apply for the position (also referred to hereinafter as "Controller" or "we", "us", "our", etc.). Regardless of which of the above-mentioned Sanofi companies is the Controller, the principles of processing Personal Data in the recruitment process are identical.
