Personal data processed
- The information we process for marketing purposes can be collected in different ways:
Directly from you if you have asked us to do so (e.g. contact form) or when you shared your contact information with us (e.g. participation in an event, contest or interactive game, if you’ve communicated your business card, if you’ve downloaded a white paper or other online publications). - Indirectly when the data has been transmitted to us by an intermediary (e.g. transmission by a partner in the context of an action co-organised with Devoteam).
When data is collected through an intermediary, we take the necessary measures to ensure that the collection of your data has been carried out under lawful conditions and is compatible with our intended uses.
- Eventually, we may obtain contact information from public sources when the information is openly available, including content published on websites (e.g. “contact” section of a company website) or professional social networks (e.g. LinkedIn).
Generally speaking, the data collected allows Devoteam to know more about : your identity, your professional details and functions, as well as your needs in relation to our business activity interests. This data may be supplemented by the exchanges and interactions with Devoteam.
