ARTICLE 4: DATA CONTROLLER AND DISTRIBUTION OF RESPONSIBILITIES
Who is responsible for the data?
In the context of application management and recruitment, the processing of Personal Data is carried out by several entities acting at different levels, each in its capacity as a data controller within the meaning of Article 47 of the GDPR, for the processing that it determines and implements independently.
4.1 Louvre Hotels Group
The processing of personal data related to the management and operation of the Group's recruitment platform, the candidate area, as well as the shared tools and services made available in this context, is carried out by LOUVRE HOTELS GROUP, a simplified joint-stock company with a capital of €117,624,016, registered with the Nanterre Trade and Companies Register under number 309 071 942, whose registered office is located at Tour Voltaire - 1 Place des Degrés - 92800 Puteaux – France (hereinafter "we", "us" or "the Company"), as Data Controller.
As such, Louvre Hotels Group independently determines:
The purposes and means of the processing relating to the provision of the careers site and the candidate space;
The conditions for collecting, hosting, securing and storing the data processed via these tools;
The procedures for exercising the rights of the data subjects for the processing falling within its scope.
The purposes and means of the processing related to recruitment for its own purposes, as a separate data controller.
4.2 Hotels in the network
The hotels in the Louvre Hotels Group network are legally autonomous and independent entities.
When a candidate applies for a job offer at a hotel in the network, the Personal Data transmitted is processed by the hotel concerned for the exclusive needs of its own recruitment and hiring process, as a separate data controller.
Each hotel independently determines:
The purposes of the processing related to recruitment for its own purposes;
The means necessary for the analysis, management and conservation of the applications received;
The retention periods applicable to the data it processes;
The procedures for exercising the rights of the data subjects for the processing for which it is responsible.
4.3 No co-responsibility
Louvre Hotels Group and the hotels in the network do not act as joint data controllers within the meaning of Article 26 of the GDPR. Each of these entities intervenes autonomously and independently, for processing operations pursuing distinct purposes, and assumes sole responsibility for the compliance of the processing it implements with the applicable regulations on the protection of personal data.
Data subjects may exercise their rights with Louvre Hotels Group (see Article 9) for processing relating to:
Management of the recruitment platform;
The candidate space;
Recruitments made for its own needs, as a data controller.
Directly to the hotel of the network concerned for the processing carried out by the latter in its capacity as data controller.
Each entity undertakes to process requests in compliance with the deadlines and conditions provided for by the GDPR.

ARTICLE 8: USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) SOLUTIONS
AI also has rules
Some Personal Data Processing may be carried out by automated Processing or algorithmic tools, including artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, whose sole purpose is to provide assistance in the analysis or production of content, according to predefined rules.
These tools are not intended to produce decisions producing legal or significant effects with regard to Employees.
No individual decision is taken solely on the basis of automated processing, and any decision remains based on human assessment.
On the other hand, we do not use any fully automated decisions based on your Personal Data. No profiling is implemented and the Personal Data we process is never used without human intervention, including in the context of evaluating your profile with regard to the position concerned by your application.
For any further information on the use of this type of artificial intelligence solutions within the Company or to request an "enhanced human review", you can contact the dedicated teams or the DPO (see article 9).

ARTICLE 10 : HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
The security of your Personal Data is taken seriously
We are concerned about the security of your Personal Data, which we undertake to process securely for the time necessary to achieve the purposes pursued.
We operate data systems and networks that are protected by industry-standard security measures and we use secure protocols over unsecured networks to protect the transmission of your Personal Data. As such, the security of connection to the Company's tools is reinforced by Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
In accordance with Article 32 of the GDPR, we have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures, taking into account the state of knowledge, the costs of implementation, as well as the nature, scope, context and purposes of the Processing, in order to guarantee a level of security appropriate to the risks identified, for, among other things:
- Guarantee the constant confidentiality, integrity and resilience of processing systems and services;
- Restore data availability and access in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident.
Protect Personal Data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure.
All persons with access to your Personal Data have been made aware of good practices in terms of data protection. They are bound by an obligation of confidentiality, and are exposed to disciplinary sanctions in the event of non-compliance with this provision.
When we need to share your Personal Data in the context of carrying out certain Processing, we take all necessary measures to ensure that the third-party recipients have put in place appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your Personal Data.
Please note that, although we always strive to protect our sites, systems and operations, we do not control all the risks associated with the operation of the Internet and draw your attention to the existence of any risks inherent in its operation.

ARTICLE 11: DATA TRANSFERS OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (EEA)
Even outside Europe, we take care of your Personal Data
The Personal Data collected by the Company is mainly processed within the European Economic Area. However, in certain situations (in particular the use of technical, IT or hosting service providers), transfers of Personal Data to third countries may be carried out.
Where this is the case, we ensure that such transfers are subject to appropriate legal safeguards, in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR, to ensure a level of data protection substantially equivalent to that guaranteed within the European Economic Area. Such safeguards may include, inter alia, the conclusion of standard contractual clauses of the European Commission and, where appropriate, the implementation of additional protection measures.
The persons concerned have the right to obtain a copy or reference of the applicable guarantees, within the limits provided for by the regulations.
Heading
ARTICLE 12: WHAT ARE YOUR COMMITMENTS?
And yes, you also have obligations
- 12.1 Accuracy of Personal Data
As a Candidate, you declare that you are informed of the importance of the accuracy of the Personal Data concerning you. You therefore undertake to provide only accurate Personal Data about yourself.
In this respect, you can modify inaccurate or incomplete data directly from your Candidate space or make a request for rectification or deletion to the competent services (see Article 9).
- 12.2 Free fields
In general, failure to fill in the fields identified as mandatory on a site by an asterisk (*) does not allow us to provide you with all or part of the site's features. Your application may not be considered if you do not fill in this type of mandatory field.
The other fields are optional and are intended in particular to allow you to fill in information that you think is useful for processing your application for the position concerned.
When a paper form or on a website offers a free field, we ask you to indicate only strictly objective information that is essential to your request and never to communicate sensitive data (such as passwords, banking information, health data, etc.).
- 12.3 Sensitive Personal Data
We only collect and process "sensitive" Personal Data when such processing is strictly necessary for the management of employment relationships, compliance with our legal and regulatory obligations, or the exercise or defense of legal claims, in accordance with Article 9 of the GDPR.
In certain situations, sensitive Data may be communicated by the Candidate spontaneously, in particular in the context of specific requests related to the management of his applications or the exercise of his rights.
In this case, this Data is only processed within the strict limits of the purpose pursued, with reinforced guarantees of confidentiality and security, and is not subject to any reuse incompatible with this purpose.
Only so-called "highly personal" data mentioned in Article 5 of this policy may be collected by us in order to compile your administrative file if your application is accepted.

We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from anyone under the age of 15.
