I.    Our commitment to data protection 

KEDGE Business School (KEDGE BS) is a multi-specialist management school, drawing on expertise with high added value for all of its stakeholders, particularly students, alumni and partner companies. Our model French school is present on four campuses in France (Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille and Toulon), two in China (Shanghai and Suzhou) and one in Senegal (Dakar). 

KEDGE BS attaches great importance to the protection of your personal data. We have formalised our commitments in this regard in this policy. You may also have a reminder of the essential terms of this Policy in the various application documents or tools that we provide to you. For example, personal data protection notices are available on the Virtual Campus and on websites published by KEDGE BS (https://kedge.edu/ or  https://www.kedgebs-alumni.com/fr/diplome/ ), the employment contracts of KEDGE BS employees, etc.  

Through its commitments and its network of experts, KEDGE BS participates in the development of higher education while respecting your privacy and personal data. 
We ensure that personal data protection and security issues are a key consideration in everything we do.

We are committed to ensuring transparency in how we process your personal data and we strive to meet your demands in terms of regulatory compliance.

The personal data protection system deployed at KEDGE BS complies with applicable regulations on the protection of personal data, and in particular European Regulation No. 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (“GDPR”) and the French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978, as amended several times. 

We have put in place a data protection system, which incorporates the strict principles laid down by the GDPR and the French Data Protection Act. This system includes, in particular:

  • The appointment of a Data Protection Officer specialised in this area and trained intermediaries. If you have any questions about your personal data or this policy, we invite you to contact him by email or post: protectiondesdonnees@kedgebs.com - KEDGE BUSINESS SCHOOL Direction Juridique, Risque et Conformité - DPO Domaine de Raba, 680 Cours de la Libération, 33405 Talence, Cédex, France
  • The adoption of internal policies and procedures to ensure compliance with personal data protection regulations;
  • Implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures to apply data protection principles.

In order to further outline our commitments to the protection of personal data, our policy covers the purposes for which we process your data, the different types of personal data we process, the actors with whom we can share them, how we keep them secure, and your rights under the regulations. 

It should be noted that you may not be affected by all the scenarios referred to in this policy. Its purpose is to provide a comprehensive overview for all types of relationships that KEDGE BS might have (such as learners, graduates, employees, external service providers, etc.).

VI. Categories of personal data processed by KEDGE BS: what data do we process? 

VI.1. Compliance of KEDGE BS with GDPR principles 

The GDPR and the French Data Protection Act provide that the data must be:

-    adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed (the data minimisation principle); 
-    accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, are erased or rectified without delay. 

In other words, your data should be used only for the purposes defined at the time of collection. As a specific example, collecting information on the work situation of a job applicant's family is not relevant to data processing for recruitment purposes.

The GDPR and the French Data Protection Act also introduce a strengthened protection system for certain types of personal data that have a high level of sensitivity. These include: 

-    Personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership of a natural person,
-    Genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person and data concerning the health of a natural person,
-    Data concerning a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation,
-    Criminal convictions and offences or related security measures related to a natural person,
-    The Social Security number (registration number in the national identification register of natural persons),
-    Data relating to a child under 15 years of age collected as part of a direct offer of information society services.

The processing of these data requires compliance with specific requirements which vary depending on the data in question. These requirements may involve obtaining the consent of the data subject (for data relating to the sexual life or sexual orientation of a natural person, for example) or the existence of regulations providing for the collection of the data in question (e.g. for the Social Security number). 

In any case, KEDGE BS is committed to complying with these various principles at all stages of the processing of your personal data. 

VI.2. Sources: who do we collect your data from? 

Most of the data are collected by KEDGE BS directly from the data subjects. However, it is possible that your data have been transmitted to KEDGE BS by third parties, including: 

-    Partners specialised in the recruitment and organisation of admission exams, as regards the data of candidates for the courses and training provided by KEDGE BS; 
-    Foreign educational institutions as regards the data of learners on programmes/courses involving such institutions; 
-    Partners specialised in the processing of data made public by the data subjects and taken from social networks;
-    Partners specialising in the recruitment of job candidates (head-hunters) as regards the data of job candidates; 
-    Employees of KEDGE BS (co-optation) as regards the data of job candidates;
-    Partners specialised in temporary postings as regards temporary workers;
-    Any user of the mechanism to combat sexual harassment who reports you;
-    Partners specialised in transparency and anti-corruption as regards service providers/external stakeholders. 

VI.3 What categories of personal data do we process? 

The categories of data processed vary depending on the purposes for which they are processed.

VIII.3.    Authorised third parties and authorities

When KEDGE BS is required to meet its legal obligations or at the request of any authorised legal or administrative entity.

In particular, to meet its obligations regarding declaration, KEDGE BS, as the employer, sends nominative information to the social welfare organisations:

-    On hiring: KEDGE BS drafts the Declaration Prior to Hiring (DPAE) for the URSSAF which will forward the information to the Primary Health Insurance Fund of the employee’s home address.
-    Every month and for every event (employment stoppage, end of employment contract): KEDGE BS transmits all the social information necessary to exercise the employee's rights via the Nominative Social Declaration (DSN) mechanism.

Every employee has the right to access and rectify personal data, in accordance with the French Data Protection Act, from the various organisations to which he or she reports by sending them a request directly (addresses to be found on the website http://www.dsn-info.fr). The letter must include the Social Security number, the employer or employers affected by the request and the duration(s) concerned, as well as a photocopy of an identity document.

VIII.4.     Outside of the European Union

Data controllers may transfer data outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) provided that there is sufficient and appropriate data protection. They must manage these transfers using the various legal tools defined in the GDPR and the French Data Protection Act. 
If the data subjects’ data are transferred outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area, KEDGE BS will ensure that: 
-    The personal data are transferred to countries recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection (such as Argentina, Japan or New Zealand) or
-    The personal data are transferred to entities certified under the Privacy Shield. The list of entities in the United States of America or Switzerland that have joined the Privacy Shield is available on the website https://www.privacyshield.gov , or
-    One of the mechanisms is used that ensures appropriate safeguards as provided for by the applicable regulations, and in particular the adoption of standard contractual clauses by the European Commission.
In practice, most of the transfers of personal data outside the European Union and the European Economic Area concern foreign educational institutions in which the persons concerned undergo training, KEDGE BS campuses in China and Senegal or companies in which the persons concerned undergo an internship. 
You may contact the KEDGE BS Data Protection Officer to obtain further information on these topics as well as a copy of the relevant documents.

IX. Specific provisions for minors under 15 years of age  

We wish to draw your attention to the fact that the GDPR and the French Data Protection Act provide that, for information society services (social networks, platforms, newsletters, etc.), the processing of a child's personal data based on consent is lawful, in principle, only if the child is aged 15 or over.

Where the child is under 15 years of age, processing is lawful if consent is given by the holder of parental authority.

In other words, children aged 15 or over may consent by themselves to the processing of their data on the basis of consent in the context of information society services. For children under 15 years old, the French Data Protection Act requires the collection of the joint consent of the child and the holder of parental authority.

In any event, where consent is required, the data subject must have the opportunity to withdraw consent at any time, through a simple method equivalent to that used to obtain consent (for example, if it was obtained online, he or she must be able withdraw it online).

X. Terms of use of our websites 

We run several websites, including:
