We will only use your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy unless otherwise required by applicable law. We take steps to ensure that the personal information that we collect about you is adequate, relevant, not excessive, and used for limited purposes.

Part A: Information for All Individuals (subject to applicable law, where stated)

Collection of Personal Information

In this Privacy Policy, personal information means any information about an identifiable individual collected in connection with the recruitment process. Company may collect personal information directly from you, as a job applicant, from publicly available sources, or may receive personal information from third parties, for example, in connection with a background, employment, or reference check, subject to your consent where required by law. Personal information excludes anonymous or de-identified data that is not associated with a particular individual. We may collect, store, and use the following categories of personal information in connection with our recruiting activities:

  • Identifiers, including personal contact details such as name, title, addresses, telephone numbers, and personal email addresses.
  • Professional or employment-related information, including work history, compensation history, information related to previous applications to Company or previous employment history with Company, and other relevant experience, such as information contained in a resume, CV, cover letter, or job application.
  • Non-public education information, including degrees awarded, transcripts, and other information provided in support of the job application.
  • Information collected during phone screenings and interviews.
  • Details regarding the type of employment sought, desired salary, willingness to relocate, job preferences, and other information related to compensation and benefits.
  • Reference information and information received from background checks, where applicable, including information provided by third parties.
  • Sensitive personal information, including government identifiers (including social security numbers, national insurance numbers, passports, driver’s licenses, or similar identifiers), account log-in information, and citizenship or immigration status.

Personal Information Use

We only use your personal information where applicable law permits or requires it in connection with carrying out our application and recruitment process. We may use your personal information for the following legitimate business purposes:

  • Identifying and evaluating job applicants, including assessing skills, qualifications, and interests.

  • To comply with our legal, regulatory, or other corporate governance requirements.
  • Analyzing and improving our application and recruitment process.
  • Complying with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or enforceable government requests.
  • To protect the rights and property of Company, other job applicants, employees, or the public, as required or permitted by law.

In addition to using your personal information for the position for which you have applied, we may retain and use your personal information to inform you about and consider you for other positions that may be appropriate for you. If you do not want to be considered for other positions or would like us to remove your personal information, you may contact us using the contact information available in the “Contact Information” Section below.

We will only use your personal information for the purposes we collected it for. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will provide notice to you and, if required by law, seek your consent. We may use your personal information without your knowledge or consent where required by applicable law or regulation.

You will not be subject to hiring decisions based solely on automated data processing without your prior consent.

Data Sharing

We will only disclose your personal information to third parties where required by law or to our employees, contractors, designated agents, or third-party service providers who require it to assist us with administering the recruitment process, including third-party service providers who provide services to us or on our behalf. We may use third-party service providers for various purposes, including, but not limited to, communicating with you, managing our relationship with you, obtaining employment verification and background checks. These third-party service providers may be located outside of the data privacy jurisdiction in which you reside.

We require all our third-party service providers, by written contract, to implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information consistent with our policies and any data security obligations applicable to us. We do not permit our third-party service providers to use your personal information for their own purposes. We only permit them to use your personal information for specified purposes in accordance with our instructions.

We may also disclose your personal information for the following additional purposes where permitted or required by applicable law:

  • To other members of our group of companies (including outside of your home jurisdiction) for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and as necessary to administer the application and recruitment process.
  • As part of our regular reporting activities to other members of our group of companies.
  • To comply with legal obligations or valid legal processes such as search warrants, subpoenas, or court orders. When we disclose your personal information to comply with a legal obligation or legal process, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that we only disclose the minimum personal information necessary for the specific purpose and circumstances.
  • During emergency situations or where necessary to protect the safety of persons.
  • Where the personal information is publicly available.
  • If a business transfer or change in ownership occurs.
  • For additional purposes with your consent where such consent is required by law.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

Where applicable law permits, we may transfer the personal information we collect about you to other jurisdictions that may not be deemed to provide the same level of privacy protection as the data privacy jurisdiction in which you preside for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

The measures that we use to protect personal information are subject to the legal requirements of the jurisdictions to which we transfer personal information, including lawful requirements to disclose information to law enforcement and government agencies in those countries. For questions or comments about Our practices with respect to cross-border data transfers, please refer to the “Contact Information” Section at the end of this Privacy Policy.

Data Security

We have implemented appropriate physical, technical, and organizational security measures designed to secure your personal information against accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. In addition, we limit personal information access to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties that have a legitimate business need for such access.

Data Retention

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Under some circumstances we may anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you. We reserve the right to use such anonymous and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose without further notice to you or your consent.

If you are offered and accept employment with Company, the personal information we collect during the application and recruitment process will become part of your employment record, and we may use it in connection with your employment consistent with our employee personal information policies. If you do not become an employee, or, once you are no longer an employee of Company, We may continue to retain your personal information to comply with Our legal and regulatory obligations; to enable fraud monitoring, detection and loss prevention activities; to comply with Our tax, accounting, and financial reporting obligations; and where required by Our contractual commitments to third-parties.
