Renault Group and your personal data

La protection des données personnelles au coeur de l'éthique Renault

Protecting your personal data is central to Renault’s values

Compliance with regulations relating to personal data protection constitutes an opportunity to build trust between Renault Group and its stakeholders (shareholders, customers, suppliers, employee). Since trust is a value which Renault Group particularly values, personal data protection is one of our ethical references in the conduct of our actions.

As such, Renault Group has launched a regulatory compliance program based on governance, procedures and tools dedicated to protecting everyone’s personal data.

As part of this program, Renault Group has:

  • Appointed a Group Data Protection Officer, who is responsible for enforcing the protection of your personal data throughout the Groupe;
  • established internal policies for the protection of personal data and built a training program for its employees
  • implemented procedures in particular allowing you to exercise your rights over your personal data.

Using your personal data with transparency

The Groupe Renault uses your personal data in a manner that respects your privacy

In the course of its activities, Renault Group collects, uses and stores some of your personal data, i.e. information that makes it possible to identify you. Renault Group intends to ensure the greatest transparency in the processing it performs on the personal data you provide to it or on the personal data it collects through the various contacts you may have with it.

The Groupe's privacy policies aim to inform you of the conditions of use of your personal data by Renault Group, as well as the rights and options you have to control your data and protect your privacy.

Renault Group uses your personal data in particular to manage its relationship with you, improve its products and services, manage its research and development activities and organize its events.

Safe use of your data

Renault Group works to ensure that all your personal data is secure for the duration of its storage, in particular against any unauthorised use or disclosure. To this end, Renault Group implements physical and logical security measures tailored to the sensitivity of the personal data and the processing carried out and which comply with professional best practices and the standards imposed on it.
