I – Definitions

  • « Partner Website »: refers to the websites, customers of Golden Bees, through which the Golden Bees cookie is deposited.

  • « Users »: refers to the natural persons who benefit from the service offered by Golden Bees, which means having a Golden Bees cookie on their computer.

When the Golden Bees cookie is placed while visiting a partner Website, Golden Bees is jointly responsible for processing the User's personal data with the publisher of this partner Website, in terms of data collection and the transmission phase. The Partner Website is then responsible for informing the User before depositing the Golden Bees cookie, mainly by providing a link to this privacy policy. Consent, if any, is collected by the Partner Website.

III – What are the purposes and legal bases of the data processing?

How is the data processing carried out? The Golden Bees cookie placed on the User's computer makes it possible to collect data for the purpose of targeting in order to provide the User with adequate job or training ads that correspond to the user’s profile (center of interest, location,…). The purpose is therefore to display job or training offers instead of advertisements while the User is browsing the web, according to the User’s profile. To make sure that the job or training offers displayed are relevant, Golden Bees creates segmentations by User profile (location, job, etc.). Reports are also sent to Golden Bees customers so that they can keep track of the campaign carried out for them. This report only includes aggregated and fully anonymized data (number of clicks, etc.). The collected data helps improve the algorithm developed by Golden Bees. When Golden Bees is responsible for processing or co-responsible, the User may see job advertisements from various companies. When Golden Bees only works as a subcontractor, the User will only see employment or training offers from the Golden Bees partner, who is responsible for processing.
