For those activities, we may collect, for example, your name, street address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address and postal code. We will not collect more information than is necessary.
Does the Bouygues Energies & Services collect or use information collected from you with technology?
The Bouygues Site collects some information about you using technology, so it may not be readily apparent to you that it is being collected. For instance, when you come to our site your IP address is collected so that we know how many visits we have had by separate individuals. An IP address is often associated with the place from which you enter the Internet like your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or your firm or company. This information is not personally identifiable.

Providing personal information is up to you, our visitor. We collect personally identifiable information to e-mail you with updates and news, to respond to your questions or comments, and/or to send information on our services. We may ask visitors providing e-mail addresses to let us know if they would like further information or updates from us or our site; only those who request it will receive follow-up e-mail or other communications from us. In that case, we may also offer visitors an “opt-out” option at any time they wish to cease receiving e-mails or other information from us.
We will only use such information for the purposes of (1) improving our services, and (2) monitoring quality assurance.
To whom will the Bouygues Energies & Services provide your personal information?
