The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us. We treat the personal data you provide when using our website and services confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy.

Below, we inform you in detail about what personal data we collect, for what purposes it is used, with whom we share the data and what privacy rights you may be entitled to.

Definitions

Controller   means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

Legal basis   indicates a legal ground for processing data under applicable privacy laws.

Personal data   means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. The terms personal data and personal information have been used interchangeably in this Privacy Policy.

Privacy Policy   refers to the current policy designed to inform you of how our website collects, stores, protects, processes, discloses, and retains your personal data.

Processing   means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Processor   natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

recipient   means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, including controllers and processors.

Sensitive personal data   means personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health, or data concerning a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation.

Service providers   These are entities to whom the data is disclosed and the data processing is carried out by the service provider on our behalf in accordance with the provisions of the data processing contract/agreement signed with them.

Scope

Under most privacy laws, a data controller is the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. A processor, on the other hand, processes personal data on behalf of the controller. This Privacy Policy applies when we are the controller of your personal data, meaning we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data for our own purposes (unless a different privacy policy is displayed when we collect your personal data).

We act as a data controller for the personal information you provide when using our website. For example, when you visit our website, interact with our representative, register for a webinar, or sign up to receive marketing communications. We are the data controller for the activities described in the data processing activities described in this Privacy Policy. It is important to note that this Privacy Policy does not cover how we process personal information on behalf of our clients.

If you are a data subject who uses or has used our product or service in another domain controlled by another organization, or your personal data has been collected and processed by an organization that uses our services, and you have questions or concerns about the personal data held about you, please direct your request to the relevant organization. This is because we cannot respond directly to your request as your personal data is owned by the relevant organization, and in this case, we do not control the processing of your personal data. As data processors, we process this personal data pursuant to our contract with our client, and under applicable privacy laws, we are not free to independently take any action regarding the personal data we collect, process, or maintain on their behalf without their authorization and instructions. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, services, or applications, even if accessible through our Services.

Our organization complies with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (EU-US DPF), the UK extension to the EU-US DPF, and the Swiss-US Data Protection Framework (Swiss-US DPF) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Our organization has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework Principles (EU-US DPF Principles) regarding the processing of personal data received from the European Union in reliance on the EU-US DPF and from the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar) in reliance on the UK extension to the EU-US DPF. Our organization has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Swiss-US Data Protection Framework Principles (Swiss-US DPF Principles) regarding the processing of personal data received from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-US DPF. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this privacy policy and those of the EU-US DPF Principles and/or Swiss-US DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern.

Furthermore, in accordance with the EU Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) and the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (GRA), and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), our organization is committed to cooperating with and complying with the advice of the European Data Protection Authorities. They will act as an independent redress mechanism relevant to human resources data, but not to non-human resources data covered by our organization's self-certification regarding unresolved complaints regarding our handling of human resources data received in reliance on the EU Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) and the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (GRA), and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) in the context of the employment relationship.

Individuals whose personal data is covered by this DPF have the right to access their personal data processed by us and to further correct, amend, or delete such information where it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of the Principles, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual's privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated.

UK DPA

As we operate globally, we may transfer personal data from the United Kingdom to the United States and other countries, including personal data we receive from individuals residing in the United Kingdom or protected by the UK Data Protection Act 2018 who visit our website and/or use our services or otherwise interact with us. When we make such personal data transfers, we rely on the following transfer mechanisms:

  • Adequacy decision for the transfer of personal data to the European Economic Area, the EFTA States, and any country covered by an adequacy decision of the European Commission as of December 31, 2020.
  • Standard data protection clauses for data transfers to non-adequate jurisdictions such as the United States are complemented by additional safeguards to protect personal data.
  • In the absence of adequacy decisions and standard data protection clauses, we implement appropriate safeguards depending on the circumstances that ensure the protection of individuals' rights and freedoms with respect to their personal data.

We also conduct transfer risk assessments to determine the level of protection afforded to data subjects protected by the UK Data Protection Act 2018 by the recipient entity and continuously monitor the circumstances surrounding such transfers to ensure that they maintain, in practice, a level of protection essentially equivalent to that afforded by the UK Data Protection Act 2018.

Data retention

How long we retain your personal data

Unless otherwise specified in this privacy policy, we retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose. We will then delete your data unless we are legally permitted or required to retain it further.

We ensure that the period for which we retain your personal data is limited to a strict minimum, reasonably necessary, and proportionate to achieve the purposes for which it was collected. The following criteria help us determine data retention periods for the respective data processing purposes:

  • The category of personal data,
  • The relevant purpose of data processing,
  • Regardless of whether the data is needed longer than the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed,
  • If personal data is typically deleted on specific schedules,
  • The terms of the contract we have with you, if any,
  • Revocation of consent in case of data processing activity based on consent,
  • If you have objected to the processing of your data,
  • Personal data may continue to be processed if there is a current or legal interest in retaining the information, for example to establish, assert or defend a legal claim and not a hypothetical future interest,
  • Personal data may be retained for longer periods if processed exclusively for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes. In such cases, appropriate technical and organizational measures will be implemented to protect personal data and the user's rights and freedoms.
  • Any legal requirement to retain personal data and whether or not there is a law enforcement order not to delete personal data and the retention of data is necessary to submit to law enforcement in response to a subpoena, order or warrant issued by the court or the personal data is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations, and
  • Regardless of whether the personal data is in anonymous or aggregate form.

Please refer to the Data Processing Activities section for the exact retention periods for different categories of personal data and/or different processing purposes.

Data security

How we protect your personal data

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
