RTE is committed to ensuring that the processing of personal data conducted on the Serect site complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Information and Liberties Law.

1. Data Protection Policy

Each online service limits the collection of personal data to what is strictly necessary (data minimization) and is accompanied by information on :

  • The data controller and the purposes for collecting this data (objectives);
  • The legal basis for data processing 
  • The mandatory or optional nature of data collection for managing your request, and a reminder of the categories of data processed;
  • The source of the data (when other data sources beyond those provided through the online service are used for processing your request);
  • The categories of individuals concerned;
  • The recipients of the data (generally only RTE, unless specified otherwise when transmission to a third party is necessary);
  • The duration of data retention;
  • The security measures (general description);
  • Any potential transfers of data outside the European Union or the existence of automated decision-making;
  • Vos droits Informatique et Libertés and how to exercise them with RTE.

The personal data collected through the services provided on the Serect site are processed according to secure protocols and allow RTE to manage the requests received in its IT applications.
