IGE+XAO may change this Data Protection Policy if necessary.
IGE+XAO reserves the right to change this Data Protection Policy (the “Policy”) if necessary, in particular, in order to comply with legislative, regulatory changes or relating to IGE+XAO practices and procedures, a Group owned by Schneider Electric, and also to meet requests from the supervisory authorities.
In this case, IGE+XAO will inform the data subjects of substantial changes made to this Policy. IGE+XAO will publish the new versions on its website.
IGE+XAO is actively committed to protecting the right to privacy and data protection, as well as compliance with national and international laws on the protection of personal information.
This Policy describes how IGE+XAO processes and protects the personal data of the individuals who use its websites or other digital content, and participate in its offline business activities.
IGE+XAO has adopted an internal personal data protection policy at the international level, which applies to all its subsidiaries for the collection, processing, use, dissemination, transfer and storage of personal data. It imposes common rules on all its subsidiaries in all countries in which the Group is located, which aim to guarantee a high level of protection of personal information.
IGE+XAO is an international group, with legal entities, operational processes, management services and transnational technical systems. This Policy applies to all IGE+XAO data processing activities managed by its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including product and service offerings and digital content (i.e. websites, applications, tutorials, online training, newsletters, advertisements, communications). It may, however, be supplemented by an indication of a specific information item/declaration/policy (“policy”) or even replaced by another indication or policy specific to an IGE+XAO programme, product, service, content item or other entity.
The data controllers are IGE+XAO Group subsidiaries that have determined the means and purposes of the data processing. They may vary depending on the situation. In many cases, the companies Schneider Electric Energy Management Software France (mother company of IGE+XAO Group) and INFORMATIQUE GRAPHISME ENERGETIQUE, located at 16 Boulevard Déodat de Séverac – 31770 Colomiers – France, are responsible for processing international data performed at the Group level including the www.ige-xao.com website.
