Data Controller

Upon providing us with your personal data (hereinafter referred to as "Personal Data"), the Sanofi company to which you are applying becomes the Controller, which means it will decide the purpose and manner in which your Personal Data is processed in its database.

The Controller will always be the company to which you are applying for a position (hereinafter also referred to as the "Controller" or "we," "us," etc.). Regardless of which of the above-mentioned Sanofi companies is the Controller, the principles of Personal Data processing in the recruitment process are identical.

Source of Personal Data

We may obtain your Personal Data from the following sources:

a. directly from you (e.g., when you submit your application, respond to our job offer, fill out our recruitment form, or attend a recruitment meeting);

b. from databases maintained by agencies (recruitment firms) where you have registered as a job seeker, provided that you have consented to such an agency sharing your Personal Data with us for recruitment purposes;

c. from your previous employers, if you voluntarily agree for us to ask them to provide us with feedback on how they evaluated you as an employee (so-called references);

d. from online portals where you publicly post information about your professional experience, education, interests, career path, etc. (e.g., LinkedIn).

Purpose of Personal Data processing

We will process your Personal Data for the purpose of conducting the recruitment process for which you are applying. If you agree, we will also process your data in future recruitment processes if you were not selected for the position you originally applied for. With your consent, we will share your Personal Data with other companies in the Sanofi Group so that they can also present you with their job offers and invite you to participate in recruitment processes.

Legal basis for data processing

We process your Personal Data in accordance with EU Regulation 2016/679 of April 27, 2016 (General Data Protection Regulation), hereinafter referred to as the "GDPR," acting on the basis of:

a. labor law provisions, in particular the Labor Code, which indicate what data an employer should obtain from a job candidate (legal basis: Art. 6(1)(c) and Art. 9(2)(b) of the GDPR);

b. your consent to data processing (legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 9(2)(a) of the GDPR), in cases where:

· you voluntarily provide us with more Personal Data than required by labor law;

· you grant an agency (recruitment firm) where you have registered your database consent to share your Personal Data with us for the purpose of including your application in our recruitment process;

· you grant us consent to process your Personal Data in future recruitment processes;

· you agree for us to share your Personal Data with other Sanofi Group companies for their own recruitment purposes.

Providing the above consents is voluntary and they can be withdrawn at any time. Please note, however, that exercising the right to withdraw previously granted consent will not affect the legality of our actions that were carried out based on your consent before it was withdrawn.

c. the realization of our legitimate interests consisting of enabling us to defend against potential claims in the future regarding equal treatment and discrimination in employment (legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) and Art. 9(2)(f) of the GDPR).

Data recipients

Access to Personal Data may be granted to the following data recipients:

· authorized employees of the Controller and service providers (these may be Sanofi Group companies or external suppliers), if access to the data is necessary for such a service provider to perform services for the Controller. In particular, these include entities such as recruitment agencies (firms) that search for the best candidates for us or support us in such searches. If we have received your personal data from a recruitment agency, we may share information with that agency regarding your employment to the extent necessary to settle the agency's fee for a successful recruitment result if you are hired. Furthermore, entities providing us with IT tools and systems used for processing data in recruitment processes, including providers of online portals for job seekers, may also have access to your data. However, access to Personal Data is always limited to entities for which there is a justification for such access due to the tasks performed and services provided. We ensure that our employees undergo appropriate training in the field of personal data protection by familiarizing them with internal data protection policies and procedures or dedicated training programs. All persons authorized to process Personal Data are obliged to maintain data confidentiality and secure it against disclosure to unauthorized persons.

· entities from the Sanofi Group, to which Personal Data is shared for use in their own recruitment processes, if you have granted us consent for such data sharing.

Data transfer to third countries (countries outside the EEA)

Personal Data may be transferred to recipients in any of the countries where the Sanofi Group conducts its business. Some data recipients may be located in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) that do not provide the same level of personal data protection as countries belonging to the EEA. In such a case, the Controller applies appropriate mechanisms aimed at protecting Personal Data, including in particular the Binding Corporate Rules of the Sanofi Group or a data transfer agreement based on standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission. To obtain further information about the countries to which data is transferred or the data transfer mechanisms used, you can contact the Controller using the contact details provided below.

Data retention period

Personal Data will be stored for the duration of the recruitment process, and in the case of non-selected candidates, also for 3 months after its completion, solely for use if needed in recruitment for the same position, e.g., in the event that the originally selected candidate declines the job offer. After the final completion of a given recruitment, we may, however, retain your Personal Data for the purpose of defending against potential claims regarding equal treatment and discrimination in employment, but no longer than until the expiry of the limitation period for these claims, which is 3 years (in the case of initiating proceedings before a court, this period is extended until the end of such proceedings). If, however, you agree to the processing of your Personal Data in future recruitment processes, we will process it for these purposes no longer than until you withdraw your consent. In the event that you are hired as a result of the recruitment, we will process your Personal Data as part of the employment processes. Detailed information regarding the processing of employees' personal data will be presented to you at the stage of concluding an employment contract.

Data collection principles

Providing Personal Data is mandatory to the extent indicated in Art. 22¹ § 1 and 4 of the Labor Code. Any additional information is provided voluntarily by granting consent for its processing. Failure to provide the required data will result in the rejection of your application in the recruitment process.

c. the right to withdraw previously granted consent for the processing of Personal Data, which, however, will not affect the legality of the processing of your data that took place based on this premise before you exercised your right to withdraw consent;

d. the right to request the deletion of data in accordance with Art. 17 of the GDPR ("right to be forgotten");

e. the right to transfer Personal Data in accordance with Art. 20 of the GDPR, i.e., to receive your personal data from the Controller in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (by a computer), as well as to request its transfer to another data controller; This right applies only to data that you provided to us yourself, processed based on your consent, and in electronic form;
