B2B Communications.

We process your data within the scope of an existing business relationship with you or your company either (i) because we have a contract with you; or (ii) because it is in our legitimate interests for the conduct of our business activities, to share communications (offers, newsletters, event invitations, surveys) with you in a ‘business to business’ capacity in order to promote our similar/identical products and services to those already provided by us which  we believe will be of interest to you  and to improve them based on your feedback. In relation to the above, we can also call you through our call center operators to promote our services, conduct surveys and invite you to our events based on our legitimate interest when these activities are strictly related to products and services that are already provided to you and aim to improve them based on your feedback.

We use contact information provided by you, as a client, for communication purposes (e.g. e-mail, fax, phone number and so on). However, the bulk of the personal data we collect and use for marketing purposes relates to individual employees of our clients and other companies with which we have an existing business relationship. When we can legally do so, we may augment your information in order to assure that it is accurate.

In other circumstances, we will only send marketing communications to you, as individual, normally by email where you have consented that we may do so.

Marketing communications via e-mail sent to individuals at our clients/companies with whom we want to develop or maintain a business relationship is sent in accordance with applicable electronic and marketing communications laws, and may include web beacons, cookies, and similar technologies that allow us to know whether you open, read, or delete the message, and links you may click on.

We will usually offer you a check box on the forms we use to collect your personal information where, if you agree to receive marketing communications, you have to click the box.

In any case, where we send marketing communications to you via email, you may opt out of receiving any further marketing communications by clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ or ‘opt-out’ function in the email. In addition, you can also exercise your opt-out right at any time by  filing  a request  [link here:  https://www.adecco.ro/formular-solicitari-date-personale/] or by contacting us at gdpr.romania@adecco.com and providing the following information: your name, your email address, a contact telephone number, the marketing communications you would like to opt out of receiving.
