XV. How do we lawfully process your data?

To process your Data lawfully Talentuch must have a legal basis to do so. Talentuch relies on three main legal bases for processing your Personal Data:

1) where we obtain your affirmative consent to use your Data in this way;

2) where we have a legitimate interest in processing your Personal Data, which we have balanced against your rights and freedoms and concluded that our processing is justifiable; or

3) where our handling of your Personal Data is necessary for us to perform the obligations under your company’s or employer’s contract with Talentuch (inapplicable to candidates for permanent hire).

We may rely on one or more legal bases to process your Personal Data.

All users of the Websites and/or our services

Individuals who work for Talentuch clients (i.e. a client contact)

Talentuch also has a legitimate interest to process your Data if you seek or obtain further information about Talentuch or Talentuch candidate.

Talentuch shall not provide you with the information described in the paragraph immediately above if you already possess this information, providing you with such information is against applicable law, is subject to an obligation of professional secrecy, proves impossible, would involve a disproportionate effort or would render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of the processing, in which case, Talentuch shall take appropriate measures to protect your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests.

XVI. Your Special Rights under Data Protection Laws

Do I have a right to be erased (forgotten)?

Yes. You have the right to request that Talentuch deletes or removes your Personal Data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue to process it. You can exercise this right, free of charge, by sending an email to Talentuch at violetta@talentuch.com.

Please note that your right to erasure is not absolute. Talentuch will remove your Data when:

(1) the Personal Data is no longer necessary about the purpose for which Talentuch originally collected and/or processed it;

(2) if Talentuch is processing your Data based on your consent and you withdraw consent;

(3) you object to the processing of your data and there is no overriding legitimate interest for us to continue to process it;

(4) the Personal Data was unlawfully processed; and

(5) the Personal Data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation.

Talentuch can refuse to comply with an erasure request in the following limited circumstances:

(a) to exercise Talentuch’s right to freedom of expression and information;

(b) to comply with a legal obligation or for the performance of a public interest task;

(d) for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If we remove your Personal Data per your erasure request, then we will confirm this with you.

If we have disclosed any of your Personal Data to a third party and you submit an erasure request to us, then we will inform (1) you about the recipients and (2) any such third parties of your erasure request unless doing so is impossible or involves disproportionate efforts.

We will respond to your erasure request without undue delay. Please note that, for your and Talentuch’s protection, we cannot respond to an erasure request until we have verified the identity of the person making the request. This verification process may extend the response timeframes outlined in this paragraph.

Do I have a right of access to a copy of my Personal Data?

Yes. You have the right to:

obtain confirmation that your Data is being processed;
a copy of your Personal Data being processed;
the purposes of the processing;
the categories of personal data being processed;
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom Talentuch has disclosed your Personal Data; and
the criteria Talentuch uses to determine how long it will store your Personal Data.

You can exercise this right by sending an email to Talentuch at violetta@talentuch.com.

This right is in place to ensure that you are aware of and can verify the lawfulness of the processing. In most cases, we will provide you with a copy of your Personal Data free of charge. However, we may charge you a reasonable fee if your request is manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive. Concerning unfounded, excessive, or repetitive requests, in rare cases, Talentuch may refuse to respond to your request but will explain the reason(s) for its refusal to you without undue delay and within one month of its receipt of your request. If Talentuch so refuses, you have the right to file a complaint and to seek a judicial remedy.

If you submit your access request to Talentuch electronically, Talentuch will provide you with its response, and a copy of your Personal Data (if applicable) via email or another commonly used electronic form.

If Talentuch did not collect your Data from you, Talentuch will inform you about the source from which it obtained your Personal Data. Your right of access does not adversely affect your right of erasure (forgotten) and right of rectification, both of which are described in this Privacy Notice.

Generally, Talentuch will provide you with a copy of your Personal Data without undue delay and within one month of its receipt of your request, provided that Talentuch may extend this period for up to two additional months if your request is complex or numerous. If Talentuch exercises this extension of time, Talentuch will inform you of its decision to exercise the extension within one month of its receipt of your request and will explain the reason(s) for the extension. If your request is large or complex, Talentuch may ask you to specify the particular information or category of information you seek.

Please note that, for your and Talentuch’s protection, Talentuch cannot respond to an access request until it verifies the identity of the person requesting your Personal Data. This verification process may extend the response timeframes outlined in the paragraph above.

Do I have a right to object to the processing of my Personal Data, including the processing of my Personal Data by Talentuch for direct marketing?

Yes, you have a right to object to the processing of your Personal Data where:

Talentuch’s processing is based on its legitimate interest; or
where Talentuch is using your Personal Data to directly market to you.

You can exercise this right, free of charge, by sending an email to Talentuch at violetta@talentuch.com.

If Talentuch receives an objection request from you for reasons unrelated to direct marketing, Talentuch will stop processing your Personal Data unless we can show compelling legitimate ground(s) for the processing which overrides your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of any legal claims.

If Talentuch receives an objection request from you for reasons related to direct marketing, we will stop processing your Personal Data.

If you receive direct marketing communication from Talentuch and you do not wish to receive future direct marketing communications from Talentuch, you may request to unsubscribe from future marketing communications by sending Talentuchan an email at violetta@talentuch.com.

Do I have a right to restrict the processing of my Personal Data?

Yes, you have a right to restrict, the processing of your Personal Data. You can exercise this right, free of charge, by sending an email to Talentuch at violetta@talentuch.com. When you exercise this right, Talentuch may continue to store your Data but cannot further process it. Talentuch will cease processing your Data in the following circumstances:

(1) when you file a rectification request with Talentuch (see the “Do I have a right to have any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data rectified?” section below) by this Privacy Notice and applicable law. The restriction shall remain in place until Talentuch has verified the accuracy of the Personal Data that is the subject of your rectification request;

(2) where Talentuch is processing your Personal Data based on its legitimate interest and you file a notice with Talentuch objecting to the processing of your Personal Data (see the “Do I have a right to object to the processing of my Personal Data?” section above) by this Privacy Notice and applicable law, Talentuch will cease processing your Personal Data until Talentuch has decided as to whether its legitimate grounds for continued processing override your reasons for objecting to the processing;

(3) when the processing is unlawful and you do not seek or want erasure and you file a restriction request with Talentuch by this Privacy Notice and applicable law instead; and

(4) if Talentuch no longer needs the Personal Data and you require the data to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim.

While the processing of your Personal Data is restricted, Talentuch may continue to process such data by storing it, processing it with your consent, or processing it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Talentuch will inform you if it decides to lift a restriction on processing.

If Talentuch has disclosed any of your Personal Data to a third party and you submit a request to restrict processing, Talentuch will inform (1) you about the recipients if you so request and (2) any such third parties of your restriction request unless doing so is impossible or involves disproportionate efforts.

Talentuch will act on your restriction request following this Privacy Notice without undue delay. Please note that, for your and Talentuch’s protection, Talentuch cannot act on a restriction request until it verifies the identity of the person making the request. This verification process may extend the timeframe in which Talentuch acts on your restriction request.

Do I have a right to Personal Data portability?

Yes. You can exercise this right, free of charge, by sending an email to Talentuch at violetta@talentuch.com. This right exists to allow you to obtain and use your Data for your purposes across different services. Under this right, you can move, copy or transfer your Data from Talentuch to another data controller.

This right applies where Talentuch is processing your Personal Data with your consent or for the performance of a contract. It also applies if we process your Personal Data by automated means. If your portability request concerns someone other than you, Talentuch will have to consider whether providing or porting the Personal Data would prejudice the other person’s or people’s rights.

Generally, Talentuch will respond to your portability request without undue delay and within one month of its receipt of your request, provided that Talentuch may extend this period for up to two additional months if your request is complex or numerous. If Talentuch exercises this extension of time, Talentuch will inform you of its decision to exercise the extension within one month of its receipt of your request and will explain the reason(s) for the extension. Where technically feasible, you may request that Talentuch transmit your Data to another data controller.

Do I have a right to object to the decision being taken by automated means?

If Talentuch uses automated (i.e. non-human) methods to process your Personal Data to make decisions that could potentially have a damaging legal or similarly significant effect on you (each, an “Automated Decision”), you have the right not to be subject to the Automated Decision. This right is inapplicable to any Automated Decision made by Talentuch that is necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract between you and Talentuch, is authorized by law, or is based on your explicit consent.

If Talentuch makes any Automated Decisions to which this right applies, Talentuch will ensure that you can obtain human intervention, express your point of view and obtain an explanation of the decision and challenge it.

If Talentuch engages in “profiling” by automated means, Talentuch will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place including (1) ensuring that the processing is fair and transparent by providing you with meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance and consequences of the outcome of the decision, (2) using appropriate mathematical or statistical procedures for the profiling, (3) implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to enable inaccuracies to be corrected and minimize the risk of errors and (4) securing the Personal Data in a way that is proportionate to the risk to your interests and rights and prevents discriminatory effects.

Do I have a right to have any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data rectified?

Yes. You can exercise this right, free of charge, by sending an email to Talentuch at violetta@talentuch.com.

Generally, Talentuch will respond to your rectification request within one month of its receipt of your request, provided that Talentuch may extend this period for up to two additional months if your request is complex. In rare cases, Talentuch may refuse to respond to your request but will explain the reason(s) for its refusal to you within one month of its receipt of your request. If Talentuch so refuses, you have the right to file a complaint and to seek a judicial remedy.

If Talentuch has disclosed any of your Personal Data to a third party and you submit a rectification request to Talentuch that Talentuch is going to honor, Talentuch will inform (1) you about the recipients and (2) any such third parties of your rectification request as well as any corrected Personal Data, unless doing so is impossible or involves disproportionate efforts.

We will use reasonable endeavors to ensure that your Personal Data is maintained and up to date.

XVII. What are my rights if the Security of my Personal Data is breached?

A breach of Personal Data (a “Breach”) means a breach of security leading to the destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, your Personal Data for which we are responsible under applicable law.

If the Breach is likely to have a significant detrimental effect on your rights and freedoms (such as resulting in discrimination, damage to reputation, or financial loss), Talentuch will notify the ICO without undue delay, and if feasible, within 72 hours of Talentuch’s becoming aware of the Breach. Talentuch will assess the determination of “significant detrimental effect” on a case-by-case basis.

If the breach is likely to result in a “high risk” to your rights and freedoms, Talentuch will notify you without undue delay. To be clear, the threshold requiring Talentuch to notify you of a Breach is higher than the threshold requiring Talentuch to notify the ICO of a Breach so Talentuch may notify the ICO of a Breach but not you. Talentuch will assess the determination of “high risk” on a case-by-case basis.

Any Breach notice issued by Talentuch will contain, where possible, (1) the categories and the approximate number of individuals and Personal Data records affected by the Breach, (2) the name and contact details of Talentuch contact representative, (3) a description of the likely consequences of the Breach, (4) a description of the measures that Talentuch has taken, and may take, to stop the Breach and, where appropriate, to mitigate the adverse effects of the Breach and (5) recommendations on actions you can take to protect yourself in light of the Breach.

XVIII. Will my Personal Data be transferred outside the EEA/UK?

Talentuch may transfer your Data to third parties described in this Privacy Notice who are located outside of the EEA/UK. If so, Talentuch will take reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Data is protected and treated by this Privacy Notice and local applicable law. Some of the countries outside the EEA/UK where your Personal Data may be transferred will be on the EU Commission’s list of countries that it has deemed to have adequate security controls in place.

Under certain circumstances, Talentuch may share your data with one or more of its group companies who may be located in another country, including outside of the EEA/UK In such cases, Talentuch will comply with its DPAs. The DPAs are incorporated by reference into this Addendum.

XIX. How long will Talentuch store my Personal Data?

We are required by law to store your Data for as long as is necessary to comply with our legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations.

Concerning GDPR (and similar laws), we will store and process your Personal Data that we obtain via (i) your consent until the earlier of (a) the purpose for which we obtained such information has been fully accomplished or (b) you inform us that you have withdrawn your consent, (ii) our legitimate interest until the earlier of (a) the purpose for which we obtained such information has been fully accomplished or (b) Talentuch concludes that your rights and freedoms outweigh our right to process your Personal Data and (iii) our necessity for the performance of a contract, until the termination or expiration of the contract including the termination or expiration of Talentuch’s and your employer’s or company’s duties or obligations that survive any such termination or expiration.

Furthermore, we will store your Data in special circumstances related to the issuance or defense of legal proceedings, outstanding invoices, or in connection with any investigation by or of a government authority.

What Protections do I have if Talentuch transfers my Personal Data to the U.S.?

In short, you have the protections of the Privacy Shield Framework. Talentuch Limited is the primary affiliate and operating company in the United State (“Talentuch US”). Talentuch US complies with the requirements of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce concerning Personal Data that is transferred from the EEA and Switzerland to the United States.

Talentuch US’s Privacy Shield certifications cover Personal Data regarding:

(1) current, former, and prospective employees in connection with the employment relationship which is covered by a separate, employee only, Privacy Notice that has been made available to Talentuch employees;

Talentuch US

Talentuch US discloses Personal Data to third-party service providers in connection with the operation of its business, including our provision of services to clients and candidates. Talentuch US ascertains that these third-party service providers provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles. Talentuch US may be liable if both (a) third parties fail to meet these obligations and (b) Talentuch US is responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

Talentuch US is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the United States Federal Trade Commission. Talentuch US may be required to disclose Personal Data to law enforcement, regulatory or other government agencies, or to other third parties, in each case to comply with legal, regulatory, or national security obligations or requests.

If FRG US has not been able to satisfactorily resolve the issue, then you may raise it with (1) your data protection authority (see the paragraph immediately below) or (2) the International Centre for Dispute Resolution/American Arbitration Association (“ICDR/AAA“) for non-HR related recourse, which can be contacted at http://go.adr.org/privacyshield.html.
