Protecting your privacy and personal data is important to ArcelorMittal. We have adopted global data-protection procedures (including Binding Corporate Rules) that provide a consistent global standard across our group. These procedures ensure that personal data transferred globally receives a level of protection equivalent to that required under EU law. We also monitor and adapt to evolving data-protection requirements, including guidance issued by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB).
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal data via this website. Some forms or applications on this site may include additional statements or separate privacy policies — please refer to the relevant form or application for details.
- Personal Data
In most cases, visitors are not required to provide personal data simply to use this website. No personally identifiable information (such as your name, address, or email) is automatically collected just by browsing.
However, certain website features, forms, or surveys may ask for information such as:
- Name and contact details (email, postal address),
- Professional information,
- Preferences or other profile information.
You may choose how much information you provide. Some information may be required to participate in certain activities. If you submit a request through this site, you agree that the information may be used to respond to your request and, where appropriate, to send you information about ArcelorMittal that may be of interest. Your personal data may be shared with ArcelorMittal group entities worldwide to handle your request.
You may exercise your data protection rights (access, correction, withdrawal of consent, etc.) via the following forms:
- For individuals not former employees of ArcelorMittal: Privacy Web Form
- For former employees: Privacy Web Form
Where required, we will carry out Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for certain types of processing, including where advanced technologies may be used.
ArcelorMittal may disclose personal data when required by law or when we have a good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to identify, contact, or take legal action against someone who may be causing harm, interfering with our rights or property, other users, or any individual.
We do not sell or lease personal data to third parties outside the ArcelorMittal Group. We may share personal data with trusted service providers who perform services on our behalf, and such providers are contractually required to use the data only for ArcelorMittal purposes and under our instructions.
- Technical Data and Log Files
ArcelorMittal stores technical data about each visit in web-server log files.
This may include:
- IP address (in most cases, not linked to an identifiable individual)
- Internet service provider
- operating system and browser type
- date, time and duration of visit
- pages viewed
- amount of data transferred
This information is analysed to improve website performance and compile statistics. We do not generate individual visitor profiles, and user anonymity is preserved. Log files are deleted periodically once analysed. Data is not transferred to third parties.
- Cookies and Website Analytics
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to:
- ensure proper functioning of the site
- improve user experience and website performance
- analyse aggregated website usage trends
Cookies used on this site do not transfer personal information to any other party for their own use and are used only for ArcelorMittal purposes.
Where legally required, visitors are asked for consent before non-essential cookies are set. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality or performance.
Cookie settings can be adjusted at any time via the cookie banner or browser preferences.
Cookie and log data are never used to identify individual users or to create personal profiles.
- Use of AI & Automated Processing
We may explore or implement automated tools and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies to support certain website features or internal processes. If used, such tools may assist us with:
- improving website performance,
- enhancing security and detecting technical issues,
- responding more efficiently to general inquiries
- supporting analysis of aggregated usage trends.
Any use of AI or automated processing will comply with applicable data-protection laws, and meaningful human oversight will be maintained.
Currently, we do not rely on automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects for users.
If automated decision-making or profiling as defined under Article 22 GDPR is introduced in the future, users will be informed, and appropriate safeguards will be implemented.
We will continue to align with evolving regulatory guidance on AI and automated processing issued by European authorities.
- International Data Transfers
Personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Such transfers will only occur where appropriate safeguards are in place, such as our Binding Corporate Rules, Standard Contractual Clauses, or adequacy decisions.
We apply the latest regulatory guidance regarding access requests from public authorities in third countries.
- Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed fully secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to us.
- Changes to this Policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, or our practices. The latest version will always be available on this site.
