Purpose and Scope

This Data Privacy Notice explains how personal data about prospective and current employees, contractors, and interns (collectively "you") is collected, used, stored, disclosed, and disposed of by the Employer for human resources, payroll, benefits administration, safety, security, and legal compliance. It applies to personal data obtained directly from you and from third parties in connection with recruitment, employment, and separation.

Categories of Personal Data Collected

We collect the following categories of personal data as necessary for employment administration and legal obligations: identification data (name, date of birth, government identifier), contact data (address, telephone, email), employment history, education credentials, references, compensation and bank account details, tax and benefits data, emergency contacts, right-to-work documents, health and disability information where necessary for accommodation or safety, background-check results, and CCTV or access logs where applicable.

Lawful Bases and Purposes

Personal data is processed on the following lawful bases: to perform employment contract obligations; to comply with legal obligations (taxation, immigration, health and safety); for legitimate interests such as workforce planning, workplace security, and fraud prevention; and where required, with your explicit consent (for example, certain pre-employment screening). Processing purposes include recruitment, payroll, benefits administration, performance management, accommodation of disabilities, disciplinary matters, and legal claims.

Data Retention and Disposal

Personal data will be retained only as long as necessary for the purposes set out above, to satisfy legal obligations, and to resolve disputes. Typical retention periods vary by data category (personnel records: term of employment plus a defined post-termination period; payroll and tax records: as required by law). Secure disposal or anonymization methods will be applied when data is no longer required.

Disclosure and Transfers

We may disclose personal data to service providers and affiliates that perform functions on our behalf (payroll processors, benefits administrators, background-check vendors, legal advisors) under confidentiality obligations. Transfers outside the country may occur where necessary; such transfers will be subject to appropriate protections consistent with applicable law. We will not sell your personal data.

Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to request access to your personal data, request correction of inaccurate data, request erasure in limited circumstances, request restriction of processing, object to certain processing including direct marketing, request data portability where technically feasible, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Requests should be submitted to the Data Protection Officer or other contact provided below. We will respond to requests in accordance with legal timeframes.

Security Measures

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include access controls, encryption for stored and transmitted data where appropriate, logging, and employee privacy training. No security measure provides absolute protection.

Consequences of Non-Disclosure

Failure to provide required personal data may prevent us from processing your application, establishing employment, or administering payroll and benefits. Where processing is required by law or contract, it will be indicated at the point of collection.

Consent and Specific Authorizations

Where processing requires your explicit consent, including certain background checks, health assessments, or transfer of sensitive personal data, we will seek your informed consent. Consent is voluntary and you may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.
