Data processing purposes ​​​​​​​

Personal data shall be collected and processed for specific purposes and shall not be processed at a later date in a manner incompatible with those purposes, except in cases provided for by law. These purposes may include entering into a contractual relationship (with the customer’s knowledge), setting up operational processes, sending research updates to subscribers, and complying with our legal and regulatory obligations (particularly those which prevent money laundering and terrorist financing). The data processed shall be relevant and limited to only what is necessary for the purposes for which it is being processed.

Data processed

Mirova may need to process the following personal data:

  • Personal information (first name, last name, age, nationality, occupation, etc.)
  • Personal information issued by government agencies (identity documents, etc.)
  • Contact information (address, telephone number, email)
  • Bank information (account number)
  • Login information.

This data may be collected directly from you, or indirectly through one of our counterparties.


Mirova does not process data related to ethnicity, sexual orientation, political affiliation, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership. It does not process genetic, biometric, or health-related data, nor does it process data related to criminal convictions and offenses, unless necessary and required or permitted by applicable legislation.

Retention period

Data shall not be kept for longer than is required in order to provide the service requested and shall not exceed the limits imposed by the legislation in force. When Mirova no longer needs your data, we will ensure that it is safely destroyed or anonymized in accordance with our internal policy.                             
Some data may be retained for an additional period of time so that we can manage claims and pre-litigation and/or litigation, so that we can meet our commercial, legal, and regulatory obligations, or so that we can respond to requests from authorized authorities.

The sharing and transfer of data outside of the European Union

We may share your personal data, either with our subprocessors, or with regulatory organizations with whom we are legally obliged to share information. In the course of managing our commercial relations, we may disclose and/or transfer personal data to countries outside the European Union. We will do this only in order to execute a contract which you have signed, to fulfill a legal obligation, to protect the public interest, or to defend Mirova’s legitimate interests.

Data security and privacy

Mirova shall take necessary measures to ensure the data we collect is kept secure and confidential, that is, to ensure that only authorized associates tasked with processing data related to our services, will have access to your data and that their clearance is limited.

Procedure in case of a data breach

Mirova shall inform the National Commission of Informatics and Liberties (CNIL) of any breach of personal data within at least 72 hours of having become aware of the breach.
