We do not sell your personal data or share your personal data with third parties for the purposes of cross-contextual targeted advertising.

International Transfer of Personal Data

We maintain servers around the world, including in the United States, and your information may be stored and processed on servers located outside of the country where you are based. 

We may also share your personal data with group companies and service providers which are involved in the recruitment process, and which may be located outside of your home country.

Data protection laws vary among countries, with some providing more protection than others. Regardless of where your information is processed, we apply the protections described in this Privacy Notice. Where legally required, we also enter into data transfer agreements, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, with the third parties receiving personal data.

Retention and Security

We have security measures in place to protect against unauthorized access, use and disclosure of your personal data. As an example of such measures, we restrict access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.

To protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your personal data in our custody, we maintain physical, logical, and procedural safeguards in compliance with internationally recognized standards and other industry specific security best practices. As part of these best practices, we review our privacy policies on a regular basis to ensure our compliance with applicable data protection laws and regulations.

Please be aware, however, that no information system is 100% secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee against all potential security breaches. Moreover, the transmission of information over wireless and wired networks is not inherently secure, and we are not responsible for the transmission of information over networks that we do not control.

Your personal data is retained for one (1) year from the last record update / action submitted on the career portal or until you ask us to erase your personal data.
