Renault Group and your personal data

Protecting your personal data is central to Renault Group’s values

Compliance with regulations relating to personal data protection constitutes an opportunity to build trust between the group and its stakeholders (shareholders, customers, suppliers, employee). Since trust is a value which the Renault Group particularly values, personal data protection is one of our ethical references in the conduct of our actions.

As such, the group has launched a regulatory compliance program based on governance, procedures and tools dedicated to protecting everyone’s personal data.

As part of this program, Renault Group has:

Appointed a group Data Protection Officer, who is responsible for enforcing the protection of your personal data throughout the group;
established internal policies for the protection of personal data and built a training program for its employees;
implemented procedures in particular allowing you to exercise your rights over your personal data.
