Privacy policy

This privacy policy describes how we, Applied Materials Ireland Lt., Part of ground floor, Block A Maynooth, Business Campus Maynooth, R51 Kildare, Ireland, (hereinafter “Applied”, “we” or “us”) collect, store and process information about individual visitors to this website.

This privacy policy only applies to Applied websites on which this data protection declaration is stored or from which reference is made to this data protection declaration by means of a linked (hereinafter: “Website”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to linked websites that are not owned and controlled by Applied.

1. Commitment to data protection

Personal information is any information about personal or factual circumstances that relates to an identified or identifiable person. These are e.g. your name, date of birth, email address, mailing address or telephone number. On the other hand, non-personal information is information of a general nature that cannot be used to establish your identity. These are, e.g., the number of users of a website.

In principle, we will only use your personal information in accordance with the applicable data protection laws, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and only as described in this data protection declaration. However, we reserve the right to use this data for additional purposes to the extent permitted or required by law or to support legal or criminal investigations. In this case, if required by law, we will inform you again about this further data processing and obtain your consent.

In the next sections, we explain when and how we process your personal information when you visit our website.

2. Purposes of use of personal information and legal bases

Most of our service offerings do not require registration. So you can visit our website without telling us who you are.

We only collect and process access data that your internet browser automatically transmits to us for technical reasons in order to provide the website. Depending on the access protocol used, the log record contains general information with the followingcontents: your session data (usage behavior, length of stay, which links were clicked, etc.), your shortened and unabridged IP address, your browser version, your operating system, your website-specific settings, your cookie IDs, your pixel IDs. This data does not allow any direct conclusions to be made about your person and is processed to improve our website offer and to defend against attempted attacks on our web server. The legal basis for the processing of your personal information is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in presenting you with a website optimized for your browser and in enabling you to communicate between our server and your device.

You can also visit the website without revealing any personal information. In this case, however, you may not be able to use certain areas of the website.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

For the processing of personal information using cookies and similar technologies on our website, please refer to our Cookie Policy, which forms part of this Privacy Policy.

4. What personal information is collected, processed and stored?

 

  1. Use of Automatically-Collected Information and Analytics. We use information we collect automatically through logging and cookie technologies for legitimate business interests, to facilitate your use of our websites, to analyze usage by visitors, to improve user experience, detect against fraud, security, or technical issues, protect our intellectual property and sensitive business information, and to deliver better service. For more information on our use of these technologies for our websites, please refer to our cookie policy.

5. Retention period

Your personal information will only be stored by us for as long as it is necessary to achieve the purposes for which this data was collected or – insofar as there are additional statutory retention periods – for the duration of the legally prescribed storage. Subsequently, your personal information will be deleted by us. Only in a few exceptional cases can your data be stored beyond this, e.g. the storage in connection with the enforcement and defense of legal claims in favor of Applied is necessary.

Personal information for a job-related application will be stored during the application process and up to after acceptance or rejection. After the end of this period, all data will be deleted.

6. Disclosure of your personal information

Applied will not pass on or otherwise disseminate your personal information to third parties, unless this is necessary for the performance of our services (legal basis for processing: Art. 6 para. 1 lit.b) GDPR) or the disclosure of data is permitted by relevant legal provisions.

Within the framework of data protection regulations, Applied is entitled to outsource the processing of your personal information in whole or in part to external service providers who work for Applied as processors in accordance with Art. 4 No. 8 GDPR. Aktor Interactive S.A., Les pavillons Sermenaz-Bat. C, 2507 Avenue de l’Europe, 69140 Rillieux-la-Pape, France, supports us in the technical operation and support of the website, data management, the provision and provision of services, marketing and website analysis. The company processes your data exclusively in accordance with our instructions. Applied remains responsible for the protection of your personal information, which is ensured by strict contractual regulations, technical and organizational measures and supplementary controls by us.

Personal information may also be disclosed to third parties if we are legally obliged to do so (legal basis of processing: Art. 6 para. 1 lit.c) GDPR) or if this is necessary to support criminal or legal investigations or other legal investigations or proceedings at home or abroad or to fulfill Applied’s legitimate interests (legal basis for processing: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR).

 

7. Cross-border data transfer

We are part of the Applied group, a global group of companies that owns databases in various countries. Some of these databases are managed by local Applied companies based in third countries. Third countries are countries outside the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) that do not have a level of data protection comparable to the data protection law of the EU. In order to ensure compliance with European data protection standards, all companies of the Applied group have committed themselves to binding internal data protection regulations within the meaningof Art. 47 GDPR, which have also been approved by the competent supervisory authority.

As a rule, our external service providers process your personal information within the EU or the contracting states of the Agreement on the EEA. However, in the event that your personal information is transferred to and processed by a service provider located in a third country, Applied will ensure the protection of your personal information by means of appropriate safeguards, such as e.g. the conclusion of standard data protection clauses.

8. Security and confidentiality

In order to ensure the security and confidentiality of the personal information collected by us on the website or transmitted by you as part of the application, we use data networks that are protected, among other things, by industry-standard firewalls and password systems. When handling your personal information, we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction and to ensure its availability.

9. Your data protection rights

In accordance with the applicable data protection law, you are entitled to the following rights, in particular in accordance with the statutory requirements:

  • Right to information, correction, deletion and restriction: You have the right to request information about your personal information stored by us at any time. When we process or use your personal information, we strive to take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is accurate and up-to-date for the purposes for which it was collected. In the event that your personal information is incorrect or incomplete, you can request the rectification of this data. Furthermore, you may have the right to request the deletion or restriction of the processing of your personal information if, e.g., there is no longer a legitimate business purpose for such processing in accordance with this data protection declaration or applicable law and statutory retention obligations do not require further storage.
  • Right to revoke your consent: If you have consented to the collection, processing and use of your personal information, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future, but without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
  • Right to object pursuant to Article 21 (1) and (2) of the GDPR

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal information on the basis of Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR. We do not process your personal information after an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (cf. Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, so-called “limited right of objection”). In this case, you must explain reasons for the objection arising from your particular situation.

To enforce your data protection rights, you can contact us at any time using the contact options specified in Section 10. In this case, please enter the name of this website or refer to your submitted application and attach a corresponding identification of your person.
