BARACODA respects your privacy and processes personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable French data protection law.

Who is responsible for your data?

BARACODA, Société anonyme (SA), registered office at 127 Avenue Charles de Gaulle, 92200 Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, is the data controller for personal data processed through this website.

For questions concerning personal data, you can contact us at: dpo@baracoda.com

What data do we collect?

This is primarily an informational website.

When you contact us, we may process the information you choose to provide, such as your name, professional contact details, company and the content of your message.

When you submit the contact form, we collect the information entered in the form, including name, organization, email address and the content of your message.

If you apply for a position with BARACODA, we may also process information contained in your application, CV and related correspondence.

Our hosting and technical service providers may process limited technical information necessary to operate and secure the website, such as IP addresses, browser information, timestamps and server logs.

When you interact with links in the Research section, we may also measure limited engagement data using the analytics tools implemented on the website.

Why do we use this information?

We process personal data only where necessary to respond to enquiries, discuss potential projects or business relationships, manage recruitment where applicable, operate and secure the website, understand engagement with our published research, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

Depending on the situation, these activities are based on our legitimate interests, steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, compliance with legal obligations, or your consent where consent is required.

We measure interactions with links in the Research section to understand which publications attract interest and to improve how our research is presented. This tracking is not used for advertising or cross-site profiling.

The analytics configuration and consent mechanism must correspond to the analytics solution actually deployed on the production website.

If the analytics solution requires consent under applicable French cookie and tracker rules, it must operate only after consent has been obtained. If it is configured to qualify for an audience-measurement exemption, its use must remain limited to the permitted measurement purposes.

Who has access to your data?

Personal data may be accessed by authorized BARACODA personnel and by service providers acting on our behalf where necessary to operate the website, manage communications, provide technical services or measure engagement with Research links.

We do not sell personal data.

International transfers

Where personal data are processed outside the European Economic Area, BARACODA uses the safeguards required by applicable data protection law.

How long do we keep your data?

Contact and enquiry data are kept only for as long as necessary to deal with your request. Where the contact relates to a prospective business relationship, relevant data may be retained for up to three years from the last contact where appropriate.

Recruitment data are retained for the duration of the recruitment process. With the candidate’s agreement, relevant application data may be retained for future opportunities for up to two years from the last contact.

Technical logs are retained for 12 months.

Research-link analytics data are retained for 12 months.

Your rights

Depending on the processing concerned, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, restrict or object to its processing, request portability where applicable, and withdraw your consent where processing is based on consent.

You can exercise your rights by contacting dpo@baracoda.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL.

We may update this Privacy Policy where necessary to reflect changes to the website, our processing activities or applicable legal requirements.
