Privacy Policy

If you are a B2B customer or supplier

As business partners, we need to collect personal data concerning our suppliers or customers’ representatives or correspondents.

We collect your data when you contact us or when we enter into a contractual relationship.

The collection and processing of these data are necessary to liaise with you (eg. to provide a quotation) for the execution of the contract and to keep track of our business partnership, to conduct marketing activities, as well as for fraud prevention purposes and to comply with our obligations under applicable laws and regulations, and to defend and assess a legal right.

We may hold the following personal information:

• Name, job title and contact information such as professional email address and phone number,
• Some necessary economic information about your situation (e.g. invoice history payment information) if you are a sole trader.

These personal data are disclosed to PILOT CORPORATION OF EUROPE in order to deal with your business (e.g. sales, supply chain, accounting.) They can be disclosed to other “Pilot Partners” (Pilot entities or exclusive local distributors in Europe) when necessary. For example, if a European Master Agreement is signed between our two companies, we may need to send useful personal data to other Pilot Partners, which are implementing the contract in the countries. Pilot Partners must comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding the protection of personal data, and are bound by contractual obligations with PILOT CORPORATION OF EUROPE.

We will not disclose any information to any company outside the Pilot Partners network except if required to do so by law.

Personal data collected during our business relationship will be retained for the time necessary to achieve the specific data processing purposes described herein or at the time the data is collected, unless shorter or longer retention periods apply under applicable laws. In particular, we will retain mandatory accounting documentation such as invoices for 10 years, following the end of the current financial year.

If you are a prospective Customer or Supplier and you make a specific enquiry to us via email, phone or the contact form available on our website, we may use this information and contact details to follow-up on your enquiry or to arrange a visit from one of our sales managers.

If you are a Consumer…

…and you contact us via our contact email address or a contact form

You may have a question or an enquiry and we give you the possibility to contact us via our email address or via a contact form on our website.

If you contact us, we will handle the following personal data:

• Your title, name,
• Your email address,
• Your postal address,
• Your phone number, if submitted.

These personal data are disclosed to the customer service of PILOT CORPORATION OF EUROPE, only in order to get in contact with you and answer you. They can be disclosed to other Pilot entities when necessary.

For example, if you contact Pilot Corporation of Europe directly, we might send your request and contact details to the relevant local Pilot Partner, if it is appropriate: for example the local Pilot company or the exclusive distributor in the country in which you live.

Information about you will be retained only to meet your request, unless shorter or longer retention periods apply under local or applicable laws. They are not used for any other purpose.

…and you participate in one of our games

You may want to participate in one of our contest games.

When you participate, we may ask you to supply the following personal data:

• Your title, name,
• Your email address,
• Your home address.

These personal data are disclosed to Pilot country distributors in Europe participating in the game and any subcontractors in charge of implementing the game and will only be used for the purpose of running the game, managing the awards and sending them, as well as to comply with our obligations under applicable laws and regulations, and to defend and assess a legal right.

For example, our subcontractors (specialised service companies) can be in charge of processing the participation, running the draw, sending prizes to winners,… We only disclose your personal data to our subcontractors bound with contractual obligations with us in order to run the game. We do not sell and demand our subcontractors not to sell your personal data or use it for another purpose without your consent.

We may use your email address for marketing purposes, only with your consent (see section “if you register to our newsletter” for more explanations).

Your personal information will be retained exclusively for the time necessary to achieve the specific data processing purposes described herein, unless shorter or longer retention periods apply under local or other applicable laws.

Is it secured?

We aim at always keeping your data confidential, safe and secure.

We take and require that our subcontractors take, appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, prevent loss, destruction, unauthorised or unlawful access and use of your data. We ensure that the internal and external personnel who have access to your data are bound by appropriate security and confidentiality responsibilities.

Despite the measures we take, please note that no electronic transmission or storage information is 100% secure and that we cannot guarantee that loss, destruction, unauthorized or unlawful access and use of your data will never occur.

How do we work with our subcontractors?

We may have to communicate your personal information to our subcontractors.

• If you place an order, we need to give your personal information to our carrier;
• If you apply for a job via a job agency, the agency collects your information.

A list of these subcontractors, with indication of where they are located, is available upon request at privacy[at]piloteurope.com. In order to treat you fairly prior to sharing your information, we formalise contractual relations with our subcontractors. We ask them to process your data only for the purposes and for the time as determined by us. We ensure that persons authorised to process your personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality and that they implement technical and organisational measures to ensure a good level of security.

We make sure that our subcontractor does not subcontract its work, without our consent.

Your data may also be shared with authorities, institutions, public entities, or other legitimate recipients as permitted by applicable laws and regulations, and for instance to protect and defend our rights.
