Information notice (data subjects requests form)

This notice applies to personal data processed in the context of the management of requests  addressed to the Data Protection Officer (DPO) of Veolia Environnement SA ("Veolia"), the  data controller, whose registered office is at 21, rue la Boétie - 75008 Paris, France.

Purpose of the processing

The purpose of the processing is :

  • the receipt of requests to exercise rights (access, rectification, erasure (right to be  forgotten), withdrawal of consent, limitation of processing, portability, where applicable), addressed to the DPO via the dedicated data protection contact form accessible online  from the website www.veolia.com, via the DPO's generic email box  ([email protected]), or by post, as appropriate; 

  • the examination and monitoring requests, in conjunction with the internal departments of Veolia  or its entities concerned by these requests, or in conjunction with the CNIL services in the  event of a referral to the latter by the persons concerned (where applicable);

  • the overall monitoring of the management of requests to exercise rights by the DPO for  internal reporting or statistical purposes.

Legal basis

This processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which Veolia or its entities are  subject as data controller(s) in compliance with the GDPR  and the French Data  Protection Act.

Categories of data processed

The categories of data processed are the following:

  • Identification and contact details of the applicant (surname, first name, e-mail address,  postal address, if applicable);

  • Description of the subject of the application, date and reference; 

  • Additional information requested by the DPO in the event of imprecise requests, such as  the legal entity(ies) of Veolia concerned by the request, the reference of the  announcement number in the event of a request for access or a request for deletion on  the part of an applicant; 

  • Supporting documents (such as copy of identity card or passport) necessary for the verification of  the identity of the applicant who submitted the application, if required; 

  • Exchanges relating to the management of the application until its closure.

The personal data processed may result from direct collection, when data subjects submit a  request to the DPO to exercise their rights or request information.

In other cases, the personal data processed may result from indirect collection, in particular if :

  • the DPO receives a request for the exercise of rights or for information from a body duly  authorized to act on behalf of and for the account of the data subject in the context of a  mandate or requisition (for example, a collection agency); 

  • the personal data has been collected via Veolia's processor under a contract, in  compliance with the GDPR (e.g. to carry out a survey); 

  • the CNIL's services have received a complaint or a request for information from the data  subject and they decide to convey this request to the DPO so that the DPO can provide an  appropriate response to the data subject.

The collection of data is necessary for the execution of this processing.

The processing does not involve automated decision-making.

 

People involved

The data processing concerns persons exercising their rights on the basis of Article 6 of the  GDPR, applicants, employees, persons bound by Veolia or its entities by a contract or persons  named in a warrant in the context of a requisition or similar procedure.

Categories of data recipients

The personal data collected is exclusively intended for the DPO(s) and the departments that  need to know in order to identify the person and respond to the request. This may include, where  appropriate, the department responsible for handling complaints or other Veolia entities when  these entities are directly concerned by the processing of the request. 

When the DPO is contacted indirectly by third-party organizations (organizations mandated to act  in the name and on behalf of individuals) or by the CNIL services following a complaint, these  organizations are provided by the DPO with the data necessary to process the case.

Transfers of data outside the EU

No data is transferred outside the European Union, except where a transfer is necessary to  process the data subject's request and in compliance with the GDPR.

Retention periods

Copies of identity documents are deleted after verification by the DPO. Personal data processed  in the context of a request to exercise rights or a request for information are kept for the calendar  year of the request, plus five years. 

Personal data processed in the context of a complaint to the CNIL are kept for 10 years after the  closure of the case.

In accordance with the regulations applicable to personal data, you have a right of access,  rectification, opposition, deletion, limitation of processing and withdrawal of consent, portability (if  applicable), which you may exercise by email ([email protected]) or at Veolia's postal  address for the attention of Veolia's DPO (30 Rue Madeleine Vionnet / 93300 - Aubervilliers  - France), specifying your last name, first name, address and enclosing a copy of both sides of  your identity card.
