Data protection École Ferrières Privacy Policy

Data controller and data collected

The data controller for data collected on ferrieres-paris.com is École Ferrières, whose registered office is at Rue du Château, 77164 Ferrières-en-Brie, France. For any question regarding this policy, the Data Protection Officer can be contacted at jo@accelis.fr.

Data is collected directly from you through the website forms: brochure requests, registration for an Open Day, a Ferrières Live or an immersion day, booking an appointment with an admissions adviser, submitting an application, subscribing to the newsletter, and the contact form.

Depending on the form, the data processed includes your identity and contact details (surname, first name, email, telephone number, country of residence), your academic and professional background, the programme you are interested in and your intended start date, as well as any documents attached to an application. Browsing data collected through cookies is also processed.

Mandatory fields are indicated in each form; all others are optional, and leaving them blank will not prevent your request from being processed.

Each processing activity serves a specific purpose and rests on a precise legal basis.

Handling information requests, sending the brochure and registering for events are based on your consent or on the performance of pre-contractual measures. Managing applications and student records is based on the performance of the training contract. Sending the newsletter and placing non-essential cookies are based on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time. Improving our services and measuring website audience fall under our legitimate interest. Finally, certain processing activities fulfil legal and regulatory obligations, notably in accounting and archiving.

No decision based solely on automated processing and producing legal effects is made using this data.

Your data is intended for authorized teams at École Ferrières—Admissions, Communications, and Student Affairs—as well as, where applicable, entities within GA Education and the Accelis Group involved in processing your request.

It may be shared with technical service providers acting as data processors: website hosting, applicant relationship management tools, email marketing solutions, and web analytics tools. These service providers act only on the School’s instructions, under contracts governing data confidentiality and security.

Here is the list of subcontractors who have access to this data:

• HubSpot
• Natural-net

When a transfer outside the European Union is necessary, it is governed by the safeguards provided for in the GDPR, in particular the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

Personal data is retained for as long as necessary to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Five years after a user account is deleted, personal data is removed from the company’s servers. Appropriate technical and organizational measures are implemented to ensure its security and confidentiality.
