1) Description of the Recruitment Platform
Accor SA is the parent company of the Accor Group. It has decided to set up a recruitment platform (hereinafter, the "Recruitment Platform") allowing (i) entities from the "Accor Group" (namely Accor SA and any subsidiary, affiliate or other entity controlled directly or indirectly by Accor SA) and (ii) other entities operating under an Accor Group brand (entities that have entered into a franchise or management agreement with an Accor Group entity) to manage their recruitment procedures more simply and effectively. This recruitment may be managed directly by employees of the entities involved or, in whole or in part, by external recruitment agencies who would have their own access to the Recruitment Platform.
As such, the "General conditions for the submission of applications and personal data protection policy for candidates" (hereinafter the "General Conditions") apply to candidates (as well as their possible representatives – hereinafter the "Candidates" or "you") for a position within an entity of the Accor Group or an entity under a franchise or management agreement (referred to separately as a "Recruiting Entity" and together as the "Recruiting Entities").

2) Scope of application
The access and use of the Recruitment Platform are governed by the General Conditions. They govern the contractual relationships between you and Accor SA when you access the Recruitment Platform. By using this Recruitment Platform, you accept the General Conditions. 
The General Conditions are directly accessible on the Recruitment Platform at any time. Accor SA reserves the right to amend these terms at its discretion. The amended General Conditions will take effect on the date they are posted to the Recruitment Platform and shall be deemed to be accepted without reservation by any Candidate navigating on the Recruitment Platform after they are posted online. Accor SA shall inform the Candidate of any substantial modification to the General Conditions by any means, including the posting of a banner for this purpose on the Recruitment Platform. The applicable General Conditions are those in force on the day of navigating on the Recruitment Platform.

3) Candidate Account
To access and use the Recruitment Platform, each Candidate must log in using the account that they have previously created. 
The creation of a Candidate account is done on the homepage of Recruitment Platform. The Candidate is prompted to enter, in the fields provided for this purpose, his/her email address and password. The Candidate may also, to sign in more easily on the Recruitment Platform, connect via social network and import his/her data from this network. Candidates using these features explicitly allow Accor SA to access the public data on their account for the social network concerned (e.g.: LinkedIn, Facebook, Yahoo, etc.), as well as other data referred to when using these features. 
The Candidate undertakes to provide, when creating and using his/her account and during any application, information that is accurate, complete and up to date. 
The Candidate undertakes to not create or use other accounts than the one initially created, whether using the Candidate's own identity or that of a third party. 
The Candidate is legally obliged to keep the username and password secret that allows the Candidate to access the Recruitment Platform. The Candidate acknowledges that all access and use of the Recruitment Platform using his/her account is performed under his/her sole responsibility, except to demonstrate fraudulent use not resulting from any fault or negligence on the part of the Candidate. In this respect, the Candidate undertakes to immediately inform the Recruitment Platform support service at support@ines-helpdesk.freshdesk.com in the event of loss or theft of the Candidate's credentials or any hacking or fraudulent use of his/her account. 
The Candidate's account will be deactivated following an inactivity period of 2 years.
Accor SA reserves the right to deactivate or suspend a Candidate account without any delay or formality, particularly in the event of:
- usage of the Recruitment Platform that does not comply with the General Conditions, namely, obligations arising from Articles 1 to 10 of the General Conditions;
- usage of the Recruitment Platform that does not comply with the applicable legislation;
- an unauthorized connection, particularly through the fraudulent use of the Recruitment Platform or by the wrongful use of credentials;
- the submission of over fifty applications by a Candidate on the Recruitment Platform over a period of thirty days.
Accor SA accepts no responsibility regarding the possible consequences of deactivating or deleting a Candidate account.

The Candidate is therefore prohibited:

6) Personal data protection policy
We know that the protection of privacy and personal data is part of the legitimate expectations of the Candidates. That is why we have established and implemented this policy that describes how the personal data from Candidates may be used as part of their usage of the Recruitment Platform.
PLEASE NOTE: Accor SA has defined the technical and functional features of the Recruitment Platform and assures the maintenance of operational conditions in the interest of the Accor Group. The company acts as data controller in this capacity.
Each Recruiting Entity that recruits through the Recruitment Platform, either alone or assisted by external agencies or firms, in turn acts as a data controller, as long as this entity determines alone and under its responsibility the data to be collected and how to use this data to perform its recruitment operations, according to the possible specific characteristics of its local legislation. The contact details of the Recruiting Entity are available in the job description.
In the General Conditions, it is agreed that the terms "personal data", "processing", "recipient and "subcontractor" have the meaning attributed to them in the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data).
As such, "personal data" is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (a "relevant party"); an "identifiable natural person" is deemed to be a natural person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by referencing an identifying factor, such as a name, identification number, location data, an online username, or one or more elements specific to the person's physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity.
The data protection policy must be read carefully by the Candidates so they may be informed as to the type of personal data that Accor SA and the Recruiting Entity have concerning them and the way in which they use such data.
By navigating on the Recruitment Platform, the Candidates acknowledge having read and understood the General Conditions, including Article 6herein, and have been able, if they wish, to keep a copy. 
A) Intended purposes and legal basis
Accor SA, when not acting as the Recruiting Entity, processes personal data from Candidates to manage access and the proper operation of the Recruitment Platform. This processing is based on its legitimate interest in operating a platform that allows the Accor Group entities and other entities operating under an Accor Group brand to more effectively manage their recruitment.
Each Recruiting Entity processes personal data from Candidates in order to manage the recruitment process and find suitable profiles for vacancies. This processing is based on its legitimate interest to manage its recruitment, select Candidate profiles relevant to the positions to be filled, verify their qualifications and suitability for the position concerned, as well as perform pre-contractual measures at the request of the Candidate.
B) Data collected
For the purpose of creating and managing the Candidate account, Accor SA shall collect the Candidate login details and data relating to the use of the Recruitment Platform (connection logs, etc.) In order to allow the Candidates easily sign into the Recruitment Platform without needing to complete a registration form or automatically fill in the data required for their application, Accor SA shall provide a social network login system where data may be imported from such network. The Candidates using these features explicitly allow Accor SA to access the public data on their account for the social network concerned (e.g.: LinkedIn, Facebook, Yahoo, etc.), as well as other data referred to when using these features. 
If you do not provide Accor SA with the requested information, you may not be able to access the Recruitment Platform.
When using the Recruitment Platform, certain fields are marked as compulsory. As such, these fields determine the admissibility of the applications. The failure of a Candidate to provide the relevant information may make it impossible for the Recruiting Entity to process the Candidate's application.
The Candidates are free to not provide the requested information in fields that are not marked as compulsory. However, depending on the information concerned, this may limit the ability of the Recruiting Entity to take the candidacy into account during the recruitment process.
Depending on specific local legislation requirements, the Recruiting Entities shall collect the required data through the Recruitment Platform to assess the Candidate's ability to fill the proposed position. This data may include:
The Candidate's identity and contact information: last name, first name, sex, date and place of birth, nationality, contact details (address, personal telephone number, email address), photograph and, more broadly, any identification normally provided by a Candidate in his/her resume; 
The Candidate's career and training: diplomas and training certificates, previous professional experience, foreign languages spoken, situation in terms of geographical mobility and, more broadly, any relevant information normally provided by a Candidate in his/her resume;
Any information provided by the Candidate at the time of submitting their application that may be contained in his/her resume or cover letter;
Depending on the recruitment procedure implemented by each Recruiting Entity and local legislation, information obtained from third parties: evaluation report from recruiting firms, reference checks within the professional environment or background checks where necessary, appropriate and lawful. 
In general, you commit that any personal data regarding you that is provided by you is current, accurate, complete and unambiguous. The accuracy of the information provided by Candidates is indeed essential, as this information allows them to quickly and effectively establish a relationship with the Recruiting Entities.
The Candidate must not provide information on the Recruitment Platform that may reveal sensitive data (namely racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, information related to health, lifestyle or sexual orientation) or any data related to offences or criminal convictions, except where permitted by national law.
C) Data recipients
The personal data from the Candidates is intended for:
- the authorized staff from Accor SA that are responsible for the management and operational maintenance of the Recruitment Platform and Candidate accounts;

D) Data retention period
The Recruiting Entities shall retain personal data from Candidates for the time required to fulfill the purposes stated in Article 6 and in accordance with the applicable laws. 
In the event of a negative application outcome, the Recruiting Entity shall notify the candidate if it wishes to retain his/her file so that he/she may have to opportunity to oppose this retention; If the Candidate does not oppose the retention of his/her file, the Recruiting Entity shall keep the file for a period of 2 years from the last contact with said Candidate.

After this time period, data from Candidates will be archived in accordance with the applicable limitation periods (generally for a period of 5 years from the last contact with the Candidate). 
In any case, the Candidate's account will be automatically deactivated 2 years after the Candidate's last activity on the Platform. 
The Candidates may also deactivate their account themselves at any time by using the "Deactivate" function.
