The following information is provided to you to inform you of Sodexo Services Asia Pte. Ltd's commitments in terms of Personal data protection. Sodexo Services Asia Pte. Ltd belongs to Sodexo Group (hereafter "SODEXO").
SODEXO builds strong, lasting relationships with its customers, partners and consumers based on mutual trust: making sure that their Personal data is safe and remains confidential is an absolute priority for SODEXO.
SODEXO is committed to comply with all applicable regulatory and legal provisions governing the protection of Personal data.
SODEXO enforces a very strict privacy policy to guarantee the protection of the Personal data of those who use its websites, portals, applications, and platforms (our "Sites"):
SODEXO takes the protection of your Personal data very seriously.
We have developed this policy to inform you of the conditions under which we collect, process, use and protect your Personal data on our Sites and in the context of the services provided by Sodexo Services Asia Pte. Ltd, (the "Services").
This policy covers all users, including those who use the Site and the Services without being registered or subscribing to a specific service or account (hereinafter collectively, the "Users").
Please read it carefully to familiarize yourself with the categories of Personal data that are subject to collection and processing, how we use this Personal data and with whom we are likely to share it. This policy also describes your rights and how you can get in touch with us to exercise these rights or to ask us any questions you might have concerning the protection of your Personal data.
This policy may be amended, supplemented or updated, in particular to comply with any legal, regulatory, case law or technical developments that may arise. However, your Personal data will always be processed in accordance with the policy in force at the time of the data collection, unless a compulsory legal prescription determines otherwise and must be enforced retroactively.
The data Controller is: Sodexo Services Asia Pte. Ltd.
We will most likely collect your Personal data directly (in particular via the data collection forms on our Site) or indirectly via our service providers and/or technologies on our Site.
We undertake to obtain your consent and/or to allow you to refuse the use of your data for certain purposes whenever necessary.
You will in any event be informed of the purposes for which your data is collected via the various online data collection forms.
We may specifically collect and process the following types of Personal data:
Personal data identified by an asterisk in the data collection forms are compulsory as these are necessary to fulfill any orders placed. In the absence of this compulsory information, these transactions cannot be processed.
Personal data may be collected for the following general purposes:
In addition, please note that you have the option to click on the dedicated icons of social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. that appear on our Sites.
When you click on these icons, we may have access to the Personal data that you have made public and accessible via your profiles on the social networks in question. We neither create nor use any separate databases from these social networks based on the Personal data that you have published there, and we do not process any Personal data relating to your private life through these means.
If you do not want us to have access to your Personal data published in the public spaces of your profile or your social accounts, then you should use the procedures provided by the social networks in question to limit access to this information.
These links to other websites should not be considered as navigation tracking and we decline any responsibility concerning the Personal data protection practices implemented by these third-party companies, each of which acts as a separate Controller of your Personal data on their own perimeter. Once you leave our Site or click on the logo/link to one of these social networks, it is your responsibility to check the privacy policy applicable to that other platform.
We process your Personal data as part of the performance and management of our contractual relationship with you, in our legitimate interest to improve the quality and operational excellence of the Services we offer to you or in compliance with certain regulatory obligations depending on the purpose of processing.
Your Personal data may also be processed based on your prior consent in the event that under certain circumstances, your consent would be requested (e.g regarding health data or for certain types of Cookies).
The security and confidentiality of your Personal data is of great importance to us. This is why we restrict access to your Personal data only to members of our staff only to the extent strictly necessary to process your orders or to provide the requested Services. We ensure that persons authorized to process the Personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
We will not disclose your Personal data to any unauthorized third parties. We may, however, share your Personal data with entities within SODEXO and with authorized service providers (for example: technical service providers [hosting, maintenance], consultants, etc.) whom we may call upon for the purpose of providing our Services.
We ensure that every disclosure of your Personal data to an authorized service provider is framed by a data processing agreement, reflecting the commitments laid out in this policy. We do not authorize our service providers to use or disclose your data, except to the extent necessary to deliver the Services on our behalf or to comply with legal obligations. Furthermore, we may share your Personal data (i) if the law or a legal procedure requires us to do so, (ii) in response to a request by public authorities or other officials or (iii) if we are of the opinion that transferring these data is necessary or appropriate to prevent any physical harm or financial loss or in respect of an investigation concerning a suspected or proven unlawful activity.
We will store your Personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and processed. This period may be extended, if applicable, for any amount of time prescribed by any legal or regulatory provisions that may apply.
To determine the retention period of your Personal data, we take into consideration several criteria such as:
As a general rule, we do not collect sensitive Personal data via our Sites. "Sensitive Personal data" refers to any information concerning a person's racial or ethnic origins, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, union membership, health data or data relating to the sexual life or the sexual orientation of a natural person. This definition also includes personal data relating to criminal convictions and offenses.
In the event that it would be strictly necessary to collect such data to achieve the purpose for which the processing is performed, we will do so in accordance with local legal requirements for the protection of Personal data and, in particular, with your explicit prior consent and under the conditions described in this policy.
Our Site is for use by adult persons who have the capacity to conclude a contract under the legislation of the country in which they are located.
Children users under the age of 21 years or without legal capacity must obtain consent from their legal guardians prior to submitting their Personal data to the Site.
The 21-year age limit may be different depending on the local legislation in your usual place of residence.
As SODEXO is an international group, your Personal data may be transmitted to internal or external recipients that are authorized to perform Services on our behalf. These recipients are located in the European Union or the European Economic Area which offer an adequate level of Personal data protection.
To guarantee the security and confidentiality of Personal data thus transmitted, we will take all necessary measures to ensure that this data receives adequate protection, such as entering into data transfer agreements with the recipients of your personal data based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses ("SCCs") or other valid transfer mechanisms and we carry out, in accordance with the European Court of Justice's decision of 16 July 2020 "Schrems II" (Case C 311-18) and with the guidance of the European Data Protection Board, a risk assessment of the transferred data. If you would like to receive a copy of the safeguards in place to secure data transfers outside the European Economic Area, please refer to the Section "How to contact us".
