Personal data processed by us is protected using industry standard security processes and systems. We store your personal data within the European Union, on encrypted hard drives and/or with certified data centers. We use secured https protocol for communication between the website and your browser. Our secure servers protect all information using advanced firewall technology. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Despite the best practices we employ, no party can warrant absolute security of your Internet connection. Any data sent via the Internet may be transmitted across international borders even where sender and receiver of information are located in the same country. We cannot be held responsible for anything done or omitted to be done with your personal data before such personal data reaches us.
We do not process your personal data for any longer than is necessary for the purposes of processing for which it was first collected, except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulatory requirements. Your personal data will be retained for as long as we have a relationship with you (for example, delivering services to you, communicating with you, evaluating employment opportunity, etc.) and up to one (1) year thereafter. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. Regarding your personal data used to provide you with information on our offers, industry events and other news and products of ours and of our affiliates that may be of interest, such data will be processed until you indicate that you no longer wish to receive such information from us.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
We may share your personal data with competent authorities having jurisdiction over us. Such disclosures will only be made when permitted or required pursuant to applicable data protection laws and/or other legislation applicable to us.
We may share your personal data with other companies in our corporate group – our parent companies, subsidiaries, and sister companies. These companies, as our processors, will process your personal data on our behalf on the grounds and for the purposes listed in this Policy. We may share your personal data with other selected third parties, including:
• Third party service providers: entities we engage to assist us in our business, IT and related services’ providers and their sub-processors, such as service providers contracted to store your personal data, subcontractors, enterprise resource planning and record management tools;
• Affiliated companies and business partners;
• Recruitment agencies: for the purpose of recruitment and assessing your fitness for a specific role
• Business transactions: we may share your personal data if we enter into a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of some or all of our assets. Any party that acquires our assets as part of such a transaction may continue to use your data in accordance with the terms of this Policy.

• External advisors: our lawyers, advisors, auditors, consultants who we may engage from time to time to advise on any matter which requires them to gain access to personal data.
These third party service providers have access to personal data as needed to perform their functions, but they are not permitted to use it for other purposes. To ensure your personal data is secured, the Company exercises appropriate due diligence in the selection of such service providers and enters into contractual obligation requiring such service providers to maintain adequate technical and organizational security measures to safeguard the personal data, and process the personal data only as instructed by the Company (as applicable).
It may be required to transfer your personal data to service providers, authorities and affiliates in jurisdictions that are outside of the European Economic Area. The data protection and other laws of these countries may not be as comprehensive as those of the European Union. In these instances and where applicable, the Company is taking ongoing measures to ensure that such service providers and affiliates have implemented appropriate safeguards to protect the security of personal data. This includes standard contractual clauses that have been approved by the European Commission or in conducting of the transfer subject to an EU Commission adequacy decision. Your personal data will never be shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes (unless you give your explicit consent thereto).
