- Privacy Policy
Capgemini believes that the establishment of trust and privacy is important to the continued growth of our business and the Internet in general. Capgemini also believes that the efficient collection, use and transfer of personal information serves to enhance the development of commerce, the Internet and electronic commerce, provided that such information is handled in a fair and responsible manner. Like many other organisations, when dealing with personal information, Capgemini must comply with the National Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act. Therefore, to inform you of Capgemini’s policies and activities with respect to the collection, use and transfer of personal information and related items, Capgemini provides this Privacy Policy.
Collection of Personal Information
Capgemini may collect basic contact information such as name, address, e-mail
address, demographic data, and telephone and fax numbers when you contact us or
as part of the registration process for certain areas of its web site. Capgemini
may also collect this sort of information in the course of dealing with an individual.
Where practicable, the purpose for which we collect personal information will
be made clear at the time of collection.
Capgemini Web Sites
Capgemini may also collect personal information when users submit comments or
other messages to Capgemini through its web site. Additionally, Capgemini uses
its web site as a recruiting tool, and users of the Capgemini web site may therefore
send résumés containing personal information to Capgemini via its or a third party’s
web site.
It is never necessary for users of the Capgemini web site to provide any personal
information to access or use its web site. If at any point Capgemini requests
personal information as part of the access or use of its web site, a user may
opt out of providing such information to Capgemini, and the decision will not
affect the user’s access to or use of the Capgemini web site. Likewise, Capgemini
does not require that users submit any optional information requested on registration
forms to access or use its web site. Any information Capgemini may collect about
web site usage is anonymous unless the user registers with the web site or provides
personal information in the course of a transaction. Capgemini will not collect
any other personal information about visitors to the web site except when they
knowingly provide it.
Additionally, Capgemini may collect personal information through its web site
by using cookies and clicktrails. All information collected by means of cookies
or clicktrails will not contain identifying information, and is aggregated and
only used by Capgemini to develop and track traffic patterns and the volume of
use of its web site. If you do not want to receive a cookie from our web site,
you may set your browser to refuse cookies or to notify you when you receive a
cookie, which you may then refuse.
Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
Capgemini will use your personal information for the purpose disclosed at the
time of collection or as otherwise set out in this Privacy Policy. Capgemini may
also use or disclose personal information for a number of purposes, including:
· providing the products, services or information you request from Capgemini;
· compiling aggregate statistics of the use of its web site;
· maintaining and administering the Capgemini web site;
· following up on comments and other messages that users submit to Capgemini through its web site;
· direct marketing and promotional efforts by or on behalf of Capgemini and to keep individuals informed of new developments and activities that may be of interest. If Capgemini contacts you in this way, we will give you the opportunity to decline any further marketing communications;
· contacting and recruiting individuals who submit résumés through its or a third party’s web site;

at any time, contact the Capgemini Privacy Officer. After notice from you, Capgemini
will take reasonable steps to correct any information which is inaccurate, incomplete

let Capgemini know and Capgemini will delete that information wherever practicable.
Capgemini may refuse a request to access, amend or delete personal information
in certain circumstances. If Capgemini does refuse a request, it will give you
a reason for its decision and, in the case of amendment, it will note with the
personal information concerned that its accuracy is disputed.
Data Security and Integrity
Capgemini has put in place certain technological and procedural security functions
to protect the personal information it collects, uses or transfers from loss,
misuse, alteration or destruction. In addition, Capgemini will use reasonable
efforts to remove an individual’s personal information when it is no longer required
for the purposes set forth above. However, Capgemini cannot guarantee that such
loss, misuse, alteration, destruction or retention will never occur, and makes
no representations to this effect.
