Only anonymized and aggregated user data of Rated companies will be shared with Requesting companies with whom you have previously agreed to share your EcoVadis scorecard.
The Rated company’s administrator contact created on the EcoVadis solution is visible to all users that are part of the Rated company’s EcoVadis network.
In the case of scorecard sharing by the Rated company, the administrator’s contact information is visible to the Requesting company’s administrator and the administrators of its subsidiaries.
EcoVadis may also contact users to conduct research via surveys relating to user opinions about Services, or inform about other Services, or inform about potential new services that may be offered in the future.
