3 – WHAT ARE THE METHODS FOR COLLECTING YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
3.1 Your Personal Data is collected directly from you or indirectly from third parties.
3.1.1 Your Personal Data, in whole or in part, is notably collected or processed when you browse the Site and enter information in the data collection forms on the Site, but also more generally in connection with requests you may send to the company by any means at your convenience, your interactions and communications with the company, as well as when you connect to a third-party social network from the Site, share content from the Site using "buttons" provided on the Site, or during your navigation on one of the company's pages on social media.
In general, your Personal Data is collected directly from you in the aforementioned scenarios.
3.1.2 However, your Personal Data may also be collected through third parties (see indirect collection from third parties).
The Personal Data we collect and process about you may be gathered or enriched by us, especially for the purpose of commercial operations, communication, solicitation, prospecting, or marketing, using other sources of information (social networks, "public" information, websites, file rentals, etc.).
Additionally, regarding Personal Data processed as part of our recruitment operations, we use the information you provide us (e.g., a form on the Site or information in your CV) and integrate it into our candidate database (CV database). However, we may also contact third parties (e.g., recruitment agencies, former employers, internship supervisors, or clients with whom you have worked on previous missions) or use other sources of information (particularly professional social networks, recruitment agencies, or specialized recruitment websites) to collect information about you for the purpose of reviewing your application or profile. Furthermore, even in the absence of a job application on your end, especially as part of our monitoring and active search operations for professional profiles that may match our job offers, we may collect Personal Data from third parties (e.g., recruitment agencies or "headhunters") or use other sources of information (particularly professional social networks or specialized recruitment websites) to collect information about you in order to suggest that you apply for one of our job offers.
Regarding Personal Data about suppliers, this data is generally collected directly from them. However, for Personal Data of suppliers with whom we do not have a direct contractual or commercial relation, their Personal Data may be communicated to us through third parties, such as other suppliers. Similarly, with respect to personnel members/contacts at our suppliers in the broad sense, we may collect such Personal Data through any supplier.
3.2 YOU ARE HEREBY INFORMED THAT:
• If the Processing of your Personal Data is necessary for compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the collection of such data is mandatory. If the Processing of your Personal Data is subject to your consent, the collection of such data is entirely optional (it being specified that failure to communicate this information could, in some cases, prevent us from carrying out the relevant Processing).
• If the Processing of your Personal Data is necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures taken at your request, the communication of such data is necessary for the pursuit of this purpose, and the company may be prevented from fulfilling its contractual obligations or the aforementioned pre-contractual measures in the absence of the communication of this data.
• If the Processing of your Personal Data is based on our legitimate interests, the communication of such data is necessary for the pursuit of this purpose, and the absence of communication of your data may prevent us from carrying out the relevant Processing or may hinder it.
For example, if you do not provide the information required to respond to a request from you (e.g., information requests, job applications, etc.), your request related to this Personal Data collection may not be processed or may be delayed. If data collection forms (e.g., forms integrated into the Site or any data collection form in any format that we may make available to collect information about you) involve the entry of mandatory Personal Data for the implementation of the associated Processing, the relevant fields will be marked with an asterisk, and you will be informed of the possible consequences for failing to provide this information. In the absence of an asterisk, the requested information is optional.
3.3 Except for specific legal obligations or contrary provisions in this policy, we do not collect Personal Data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic data or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health, or data concerning a person's sex life or sexual orientation.
3.4 Personal data of minors or protected adults: We draw the attention of individuals with parental authority over minors and individuals with a representation mission under guardianship, family authorization, or a future protection mandate for the need to ensure that the Personal Data of vulnerable individuals under their legal protection are not disclosed, used, or processed outside of their control and supervision. The fact that minor can legally consent alone to the Processing of their Personal Data concerning the direct offering of information society services from the age of fifteen (in France, this age may vary depending on the child's state of residence) does not limit the duty and interest of individuals with parental authority to educate their children about the importance of respecting their privacy and Personal Data.
In general, the use of the Site and the dedicated pages of the company on social media is reserved for adults with legal capacity, and the company cannot be held responsible for the use of the Site or its social media pages by minors or individuals incapable of consent, and thus the potential consequences, particularly regarding the Processing of their Personal Data.
As an exception, the company may process Personal Data of minors aged at least fifteen when they contact the company to apply for a job or internship, for example.

Furthermore, sub-purposes of this Processing related to the management and monitoring of our relations with our clients in the broad sense (including managing and monitoring customer accounts, overdue payments and litigation, complaints, or conducting studies, analyses, reports, and statistics) are necessary for the pursuit of our legitimate interests in managing and monitoring our relations with our clients.
