We may ask you to provide personal information when accessing our website. Capgemini also uses cookies on its website to collect information about how visitors use the website (for instance, which pages they go to more often), which you can choose to disable.

Third party web sites

Capgemini websites may provide links to third party websites. Capgemini does not make any representations or warranties with respect to such third party websites. Users of the Capgemini website should be aware the owners and operators of such third party websites might collect, use or transfer personal information under different terms and conditions than Capgemini. Upon linking to a third party website, please inform yourself of the privacy policies of such third party websites.

Choosing not to provide us with personal information

If you choose not to provide Capgemini with your personal information where Capgemini has requested it, then Capgemini may not be able to process your requests or applications, to send you information about the business, or you may not be able to access or obtain the benefit of certain parts of the Capgemini website.

Capgemini generally does not need to collect any sensitive information. However, in the limited circumstances where it does seek to collect such information, it will only ever do so with your consent or otherwise in accordance with the applicable law.

Use and disclosure 

Capgemini only collects personal information for purposes which are directly related to its functions or activities and only when it is necessary for or directly related to such purposes. Capgemini will use your personal information for the purpose notified to you at the time of collection, any other purpose which relates to the primary purpose of collection or otherwise in accordance with the applicable laws. Generally, Capgemini collects personal information related to employment services, human resource management, and other business activities. Some of the usual purposes for which Capgemini may collect, use and disclose your personal information are set out below.

Communicating with you– Capgemini will follow up on comments and other requests that you submit to through the Capgemini website, such as online queries or registering your attendance at a conference. This may include calling you back by telephone or communicating with you via email.
Recruitment and employment related purposes –If you submit a resume or job application online or through a recruiter or third party website such as SEEK or LinkedIn, Capgemini will use your personal information for recruitment-related purposes, which may include contacting you via email, telephone or post. In some cases, you may be required to register using the Capgemini website to track the progress of your application online. Except where you request otherwise, Capgemini may keep your personal information on file for an appropriate time in order to consider you for other employment opportunities with Capgemini or the Capgemini group in the future. If your application for employment is successful, Capgemini will need to use your information for other employment related purposes.
Direct marketing and promotion –Personal information that Capgemini collects and uses for marketing purposes generally relates to individuals within those companies with which we have an existing business relationship (such as our clients) or which we are seeking to develop. Direct marketing and/or promotional efforts by or on behalf of Capgemini may include providing you with specific information that you have requested, providing more general information about other Capgemini offerings and sending invitations to conferences and other events. You may at any time ‘opt out’ from receiving marketing materials from us by following the unsubscribe instructions included in each communication you may receive, by indicating so when Capgemini contacts you, or by contacting Capgemini directly.
Supplier administration –Some Capgemini websites enable third-party suppliers to register their interest in supplying products and services to Capgemini. Capgemini will use this personal information in connection with entering into or performing a transaction with the supplier and for other procurement-related purposes.
Customer surveys – Capgemini may ask you to complete customer satisfaction surveys for its research purposes, although you may choose not to respond to them.
Third party suppliers– Like many organisations, Capgemini uses third party suppliers to collect, use and handle personal information on its behalf in connection with its business activities and functions. This may include (for instance) independent contractors and consultants, electronic database managers, website hosts, and our professional advisers such as lawyers and accountants. Capgemini requires our service providers to handle personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Website maintenance and improvement – Capgemini may use personal information to compile aggregate statistics regarding the use of its website, and to maintain and improve its website. Capgemini may also use your IP address to offer you the choice to be redirected to another Capgemini local country website.

Disclosure to third parties and overseas recipients

Capgemini will only use personal information for the purposes for which for which it was given, or for purposes which are directly related to one of its functions or activities. Capgemini will not give personal information to other government agencies, organisations or anyone else unless one of the following applies:

you have consented
you would reasonably expect, or have been told, that information of that kind is usually passed to those individuals, bodies or agencies
it is otherwise required or authorised by law
it will prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to somebody’s life or health
it is reasonably necessary for the enforcement of the criminal law or of a law imposing a pecuniary penalty, or for the protection of public revenue.

Capgemini is part of a large global group. Whilst each Capgemini company is a distinct legal entity (e.g. country subsidiaries), the Capgemini group’s internal processes and infrastructure (including technological systems) are generally international in scope and nature. As such, Capgemini may share your personal information with other Capgemini entities for purposes including those outlined in this Privacy Policy, or transfer it to countries where Capgemini has data centres or otherwise does business. These countries include France, USA, India, Singapore, China, Japan as well as Australia and New Zealand. Some of these countries may have privacy laws that may be of a lower standard than those in New Zealand. In any case, our commitment to your privacy does not change and your personal information will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

You can access Capgemini BCR by clicking here.

Data quality

Capgemini takes steps to ensure that the personal information it collects is accurate, up to date and complete. These steps include maintaining and updating personal information when it is advised by individuals that their personal information has changed, and at other times as reasonably necessary.

Holding and storing personal information

Capgemini takes steps to protect the personal information it holds against loss, unauthorised access, use, modification or disclosure, and against other misuse. These steps include limited access to secure drives on our internal network, and physical access restrictions to hard copy files and documents which contain personal information.

Capgemini will generally hold and store your personal information in physical and/or electronic form. We may also store, process or back-up your personal information on servers located in New Zealand or overseas (including through third party service providers).

Capgemini generally retains all records (which may also include your personal information) for a period of 7 years. Where personal information held by Capgemini is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected, Capgemini will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify the information.
