In determining the appropriate retention rate for Personal Data, we take into consideration the amount, nature and sensitivity of the relevant Personal Data, the applicable legal, regulatory, taxation, account or other requirements, the potential risks of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of such Personal Data, and whether we are able to achieve the relevant purposes through other means. In any event, we will only retain Your Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary or required to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, taxation, accounting or reporting requirements.

The Personal Data collected is promptly deleted should any of the following events arise:

  • expiration of the relevant retention period;
  • exercise of Your right to delete in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws and conditions laid down in Section 10 (Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Data) of this Policy; or
  • deletion of the Site by VALLOUREC for any reason whatsoever.

For log journals, our retention period is 1 year, subject to the above. 

7. Transfer of Personal Data

Our services are hosted and operated in multiple geographic regions. Any Personal Data that we collect may be transferred, accessed and processed outside of Your country, including in the United States. If You are located in the EEA, the U.K., Canada, or other regions with laws governing the processing of Personal Data that may differ from U.S. law, please note that Your Personal Data may be transferred to countries that do not have the same data protection laws as the country in which You initially provided the information.

We comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate safeguards for the transfer of Personal Data to countries other than the country where You are located. In particular, we may transfer Personal Data to countries for which adequacy decisions have been issued by the European Commission, or the Secretary of State in the U.K. or other relevant bodies in other jurisdictions or use contractual protections for the transfer of Personal Data to third parties, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. You may contact us to obtain a copy of the safeguards we use to transfer Personal Data outside the EEA or the U.K.

8. Sharing of Personal Data

VALLOUREC is the sole recipient of the data collected. VALLOUREC will only send Your Personal Data to third parties in the following cases:

  • You have given Your consent or directed us to share this information with third parties.

  • VALLOUREC receives a request from a legal authority, or any other administrative authority authorized by law and requesting this information in accordance with the legislative provisions in force, or where we believe in good faith that the disclosure of Personal Data is required to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity or to investigate violations of our applicable policies.

  • We are sharing or providing access Your Personal Data with certain thirdparty service providers that provide services to us such as Amazon Web Services, Google and Bing and performing services relating to VALLOUREC’s IT services and applications (hosting, storage and IT maintenance services in particular). These third-party service providers act only on instructions from VALLOUREC and will be bound by the same security and confidentiality obligations as VALLOUREC.

  • In the event that another company acquires a controlling interest in VALLOUREC, or if we experience another change of control event, such as a merger, insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership, we reserve the right to include any or all user-related information, including Personal Data, among the assets transferred to the acquiring company. We may further share Your Personal Data with other entities that we plan to merge with and/or be acquired by. Should such circumstances arise, we will require that the new combined entity follow this Personal Data Protection Policy with respect to Your Personal Data. You will receive prior notice of any change in the applicable policies

9. Security Measures

VALLOUREC uses a combination of physical, technical, organizational and administrative security controls designed to maintain the security of Your Personal Data and protect it against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse and any other unlawful form of processing of the Personal Data in our possession. Taking into account the state of the art, the cost of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risks of varying likelihood and severity for Your rights and freedoms posed by the processing of Your Personal Data, we use commercially reasonable physical, administrative and technological methods to transmit Your Personal Data securely and store Your Personal Data. However, as the Site is hosted electronically, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of Your Personal Data.

From time to time, VALLOUREC may modify the Policy according to its needs or if it is required to do so by applicable law or regulations. These updates will be made without advance warning and will be circulated online.
