Privacy Policy of Spatial Corp

Dassault Systèmes, the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, has always recognized data protection as an important topic for its stakeholders in the digital age and understands the responsibility that comes with the handling of personal data. This Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices of Dassault Systèmes S.E. and its affiliates (together “3DS”) related to personal data collected, used, stored and otherwise processed.

Please be aware that some supplemental country terms may be applicable as detailed at the end of this Privacy Policy. 

This privacy policy applies to the personal data 3DS processes as a data controller, i.e. as the party that determines what personal data to collect online (including in connection with 3DS websites, mobile apps) or offline and to what end.

When you use a 3DS cloud offering ordered by your employer or school, the processing of your personal data is determined and administered by its own privacy statement and not by this privacy policy. Should you have any concern about how and why your personal data is processed within this framework, please refer to your employer or school as the case may be. 

In addition, 3DS only collects personal data from children, who are considered minors under the applicable data protection law, with the prior consent of their parents or guardians. Such consent is required before a minor can create a user profile or use any 3DS products or services. If the child is a minor they must provide an email address for their parent or guardian to receive a message from 3DS instructing them on how to provide their consent. Schools should always ensure that they have received permission from parents or guardians to do so. Parents or guardians can ask 3DS to review the personal data collected about their child, to remove it and terminate the child’s account or make any other request regarding their child’s personal data by sending an email to: info_spatial@3ds.com whether or not they gave consent to collect their child’s personal data. If 3DS learns that it has collected personal data from a child, it will delete that information as quickly as possible unless his or her authorized representative is willing to ratify the situation.

For your convenience, hyperlinks may be posted on the 3DS websites or apps that link to other websites or apps that 3DS does not own or control. This privacy policy is not applicable to them and 3DS has no liability for the content of third-party websites nor the personal data they collect.

  1. Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. An identifiable person is a person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to the natural person.

    Depending on the purposes detailed below, personal data processed by 3DS includes:

    • Personal and Business contact information such as first and last name, postal address, email address, telephone number(s) and job title;
    • Profile information such as user ID, login and password, profile picture, university, degree, certification and courses taken; type of organization (company, school, etc.), organization name, organization size, department, industry and sub-industry sectors;
    • Transaction information details related to purchases you make, including through 3DS websites and apps, event registrations and billing data (such as credit card details, bank account information);
    • Operation and usage data (IP and Mac Addresses, logs, etc.) on how you use 3DS websites, apps and services, including data from cookies as described below and through the 3DS marketing preferences Center as applicable.

    In any event, the personal data processed by 3DS is limited to data necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. 3DS will only process personal data from a parent or guardian of a minor child for purposes of obtaining their consent to collect the child’s personal data. If they do not provide that consent within a reasonable period of time, 3DS will delete this personal data.

3DS will process your personal data for one or several of the following purposes:

With your Consent

  • To communicate with you, including when you request information related to 3DS products and services, and more generally to manage 3DS marketing activities; 
  • To ascertain your requirements and interests and provide you with the most suitable products and/or services;
  • To provide you with a personalized, interactive use of 3DS websites and apps and allow you to access all their features;
  • To enable you to display certain of your personal information related to your profile while exchanging ideas and other information about 3DS products and services with other users of 3DS websites and apps, including the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.

    • register for an event, seminar, webinar;

  • To manage your training and/or certification on 3DS products and services, which may include tracking your learning progress in order to make this information available to you.

If you attend an event organized by 3DS, you may be asked for health information for the purpose of identifying and being considerate of individuals who have disabilities, special dietary requirements as well as other additional personal data that are necessary to be processed throughout the event.

To comply with the following legitimate interests: 

3DS takes into consideration and balances any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before processing your personal data for legitimate interest purposes. Unless 3DS has your consent or is otherwise required or permitted to do so by law, 3DS will not use your personal data in situations where the impact on you outweighs its legitimate interest in processing your personal data:

  • To improve your experience;
  • To remember your settings;
  • To provide you with information related to marketing activities for similar goods and products if you are already using 3DS products and services;
  • To enable 3DS to manage its business relationships when you are acting on behalf of a 3DS prospect or customer (including sales opportunities, commercial offers, purchasing, contracts, orders, invoices, which may include conversational data triggered via chat functionalities on 3DS websites or apps, contact forms, emails, and voice messaging data, delivery of 3DS products, support or professional services); 
  • To manage the 3DS Anti-Piracy and Compliance program. Within this program, 3DS may combine your personal data together with additional relevant publicly available information or personal data collected through other processing activities;
  • To create anonymous data for analytics and for compliance, fraud prevention and safety.

To comply with law

  • To manage 3DS legal obligations related to applicable export laws, trade sanctions, and embargoes issued, by the European Union and its member states, and of the United States of America and other countries, if any. This may include: (i) conducting automated checks of any user registration data  identified in this Privacy Policy and other information you provide about your identity against applicable sanctioned-party lists; (ii) regular repetition of such checks whenever a sanctioned-party list is updated or when you update your information; (iii) blocking of access to 3DS services and systems in case of a potential match; and (iv) contacting you to confirm your identity in case of a potential match;
  • To keep your financial data with a third party payment provider.

3DS does not store your personal data for more time than necessary and only as long as required to fulfill the purposes set out above. Retention periods may vary depending on the data categories and the processing activities. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, 3DS considers the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which 3DS processes your personal data and whether 3DS can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements:

  • where 3DS is required to comply with a legal obligation, the retention period will be determined according to the applicable law;
  • where you gave your consent, until you withdraw it;
  • where 3DS has entered into an agreement with you or your employer, as long as the agreement is into force plus the applicable local statutes of limitations; 
  • where 3DS has a legitimate interest in using your personal data, for a limited period of time appropriate to ensure a fair processing of your personal data or until you object to 3DS’s use of your personal data. 

Where your personal data is required to assert or defend against legal claims, 3DS will retain your personal data until the end of the relevant retention period or until the claims in question have been settled.

3DS does not rent or sell information but may share your necessary personal data for certain business purposes with the following categories of organizations:

  • Within 3DS group: 3DS Group is a worldwide multi-tiered organization, located in the Americas, Asia and Europe to provide you with responsive and proactive services. In that globalized context, 3DS may need to share your personal data for example to provide you with support services.
  • Event or marketing sponsors: 3DS may share your personal data with trusted sponsors such as 3DS resellers with which 3DS organizes events or marketing promotions. When you register for an event, 3DS may share your name, company, and email address with other participants and sponsors of the same event for the purpose of communication about the event and the exchange of ideas.
  • 3DS business partners: 3DS may share your personal data with 3DS business partners such as resellers assigned to you to provide you or your employer with appropriate offers or services.
  • Third parties acting on 3DS behalf: 3DS may share your personal data with third party vendors, consultants and other service providers that 3DS employs to perform tasks on its behalf (such as hosting services by a third-party or payment services to enable you to purchase from 3DS products or services) or to protect 3DS’s legal interests (such as in the event of a sale of assets to a third company, or a change of control or a total or partial liquidation of 3DS).
  • Law enforcement: Under certain circumstances, 3DS may also disclose your personal data if required by law or if 3DS believes in good faith that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process (for example, a warrant, a subpoena, or other court order) or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of 3DS, 3DS’s customers, or the public.

When accessing a 3DS website or app, please note that through your continued use of it, if you are located in a different country than the 3DS website or app, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to a country outside of your own. 

As part of a worldwide multi-tiered organization, 3DS may transfer your personal data from Europe (or a country that is considered as offering an adequate level of protection as adopted by the European Commission on the basis of Article 45 of the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR)) to another country. This can for example happen when 3DS provides you with training, support services or cloud offerings. 3DS continually monitors the circumstances surrounding any transfer in order to ensure that these transfers maintain, in practice, a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to the one guaranteed by the GDPR and relies on the Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission in the absence of an adequacy designation.

Depending on the applicable data protection laws, you may have some or all of the following rights with regard to your personal data: 

  • access your personal data;
  • request the rectification, completion, update or erasure of your personal data;
  • restrict processing;
  • obtain a copy of your personal data stored by 3DS;

If you have an account, you can exercise your rights by logging on to your account. Otherwise, you may exercise your rights by sending an email to: info_spatial@3ds.com . Parents can exercise these rights if allowed by applicable law on behalf of their minor children by this same method. 

Depending on the scope of the request, and if permitted under applicable law, 3DS may charge a reasonable fee to cover costs incurred in connection with such request. 3DS may deny access to your personal data in limited circumstances in accordance with applicable laws and regulations or if 3DS’ legal grounds override your legitimate interest to privacy.

3DS maintains appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction during transmission and once in its possession. However, while 3DS strives to protect your personal data, in light of the inevitable risks linked to the Internet, 3DS cannot guarantee full protection against any leak.

You are responsible for the confidentiality of your password and information appearing on your account. Consequently, you must ensure that you log out of your session in the event of shared use of a computer.
