Due to the global nature of Arcadis Gen's operations, Arcadis Gen needs to disclose personal data to its own personnel and departments in other countries. Some of the unaffiliated third parties may also be located outside of your home jurisdiction. Where such international data transfer takes place to a country that has a different data protection regime, Arcadis Gen will ensure that the international data transfer will not negatively affect the level of protection of your personal data and where legally required will be based on appropriate safeguards including EU Model Clauses or Binding Corporate Rules. Information on such safeguards can be obtained by contacting Arcadis Gen at privacy@arcadis.com

Arcadis Gen will take appropriate technical, physical, and organizational measures to protect personal data from misuse or accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure acquisition, or access that are not consistent with applicable privacy and data security laws and regulations. This will include requiring service providers to use appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality and security of personal data.

7. Measuring Usage (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to collect information about how people use certain mobile apps and websites. This helps us ensure our products are meeting users’ needs and to understand how we can improve them. For the mobile apps where Google Analytics is enabled, it collects information about how you use the app, including the features you interact with and the duration of your sessions. On our websites, Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the site, how you arrived at the site, and what you clicked on. We do not collect or store personal information other than your IP address (e.g., not your name or address), and we do not try to identify you from your IP address. Additionally, we collect information on the number of times particular search terms are used and the number of failed searches on our websites. This information helps us improve access to our services and identify gaps in our content to plan appropriate expansions.
