Danone’s mission is bringing health through food to as many people as possible and we aim to inspire healthier and more sustainable eating and drinking practices, in line with our vision – Danone, One Planet.
Bringing health through food does not only rely on healthier products and promoting healthier behaviors. Our mission also requires that our own business practices help to build a healthier future. Maintaining and building trust with our consumers and stakeholders is core to our ability to fulfil our mission. One way that trust can be preserved is by ensuring that we are responsible when communicating with our consumers.
Danone knows that you care how your personal data is used and we recognize the importance of protecting your privacy. We have therefore committed ourselves to the following basic principles:
• We are committed to being transparent in the way we use your personal data;
• We only use your data for specific purposes that we share with you and/or that you have consented to;
• We aim to collect, process and use as little personal data as possible;
• When we do collect your personal data, we aim to keep it as accurate, up to date and secure as possible;
• If the personal data we collect is no longer needed for any purposes and we are not required by law to retain it, we will do what we can to delete, destroy or permanently de-identify it;
• Your personal data will not be shared, sold, rented or disclosed other than as described in this Privacy Statement.
