Enrichment data comes exclusively from public sources accessible online, such as the professional social network LinkedIn or platforms for legal and financial information on companies such as Societe.com.

This indirect collection allows Converteo to make its commercial and recruitment database more reliable and up-to-date, in order to offer Site users content, responses, and opportunities adapted to their professional context.

Some personal data may be sent to third parties or legally authorized authorities to satisfy our legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations.

We may make certain personal data available to strategic partners working with us, for the provision of services or helping us market our services.

We will disclose your personal data to any third party that acquires or to which we transfer all or substantially all of our assets and activities (NB: if such a sale or transfer were to occur, we will use our best efforts to ensure that the entity to which we transfer your information uses it in a manner consistent with this privacy policy).
