Certain additional information may be collected where this is necessary and permitted by local applicable laws.

 

SPECIAL CATEGORIES OF DATA

To the extent permitted by applicable laws the Company collects and processes a limited amount of personal data falling into special categories, sometimes called “sensitive personal data”. This term means information relating to:

  • political opinions;
  • religious or philosophical beliefs;

  • trade union membership;
  • sex life or sexual orientation;

HOW DOES THE COMPANY COLLECT DATA?

The Company mainly collects and records your personal data from you. You will provide this information directly to the hiring manager or relevant recruiter or enter it into our systems (for example, through your self-service access to a third-party tool, your participation in the recruitment process, emails and instant messages you send or through verbal information which is recorded electronically or manually). In addition, further information about you will be generated by the relevant recruiter, hiring manager or other employees involved in the recruitment process.

If you applied to the advertised role through a recruitment agency, we will have received your application and associated personal information from this recruitment agency.

We also obtain some information from third parties: for example, references from a previous employer, medical reports from external professionals, information from tax authorities, or where we employ a third party to carry out a background check (where permitted by applicable law) or occasionally from clients or anyone else who referred you for the position.

In some circumstances, data is collected indirectly from monitoring by, for example, building and location access control and monitoring systems, CCTV, telephone logs and recordings, instant message logs and email logs), if and to the extent permitted by applicable laws. In these circumstances, the data may be collected by the Company or a third party provider of the relevant service. This type of data is generally not accessed on a routine basis but access is possible.

Some data may be obtained from publicly accessible sources.

In the event that particular information is required by contract or statute this will be indicated at the time of collection. We will also let you know where there are consequences of you not providing the information requested. Failure to provide some information will mean that we cannot carry on with the recruitment process. For example, if you do not provide us with your name or background, we will not be able to consider you for employment. In some cases it may mean that we are unable engage further with you as the Company will not have the personal data we believe to be necessary to reach a recruitment decision.

Your personal data are collected and processed for various business purposes, in accordance with applicable laws and any applicable collective bargaining agreements.

We may on occasion process your personal data for the purpose of legitimate interests pursued by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data (for example to meet the security requirements of our clients).

Processing data relating to criminal convictions and offences

Personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences will only be processed where authorized by applicable laws. For example:

a criminal record check may be carried out on recruitment or transfer or intermittently where ongoing screening is required where authorized by applicable laws; or

an allegation of a criminal offence or conviction arising during your relationship with the Company may be processed where required or authorized by applicable law. For example:

where we have a legal or regulatory requirement to report an offence; or

where applicable laws authorize the Company to process information about the offence (e.g. in a disciplinary process) for the purpose of making decisions regarding your relationship with the Company.

Retention of personal data

The Company endeavors to ensure that personal data are kept as current as possible and that irrelevant or excessive data are deleted or made anonymous as soon as reasonably practicable.

We generally retain personal data for as long as is required to satisfy the purpose for which it was collected. This will usually be the length of the relevant recruitment exercise plus the length of any applicable statutory limitation period following this, although some data may need to be kept for longer. We may keep some specific types of data for different periods of time, as required by applicable law. Some personal data may be retained for varying time periods in order to comply with legal and regulatory obligations and for other legitimate business reasons.

 

DISCLOSURES OF PERSONAL DATA

Within the Company, your personal data can be accessed by or may be disclosed internally on a need-to-know basis to:

local, regional and global Human Resources and recruiters, including managers and team members;

local, regional and executive management responsible for managing or making decisions in connection with your application to the Company (including, without limitation, staff from Compliance, Legal, Employee Relations and Information Security);

system administrators; and

where necessary for the performance of specific tasks or system maintenance by candidates in the Company teams such as the Finance and IT Department and the Global HR information systems support team.

Your personal data is also accessed by third parties whom we work together with (including without limitation, any third-party tool and their associated companies and sub-contractors) for providing us with services, such as hosting, supporting and maintaining the framework of our information systems.

Examples of third parties with whom your data will be shared include tax authorities, regulatory authorities, the Company’s insurers, bankers, IT administrators, lawyers, auditors, investors, consultants and other professional advisors, payroll providers, and administrators of the Company’s benefits programs. The Company expects such third parties to process any data disclosed to them in accordance with applicable law, including with respect to data confidentiality and security.

Where these third parties act as a “data processor” (for example a payroll provider) they carry out their tasks on our behalf and upon our instructions for the above mentioned purposes. In this case your personal data will only be disclosed to these parties to the extent necessary to provide the required services.

In addition, we may share personal data with national authorities in order to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject. This is for example the case in the framework of imminent or pending legal proceedings or a statutory audit.

 

SECURITY OF DATA

The Company is committed to protecting the security of the personal data you share with us. The Company uses a variety of technical and organizational methods to secure your personal data in accordance with applicable laws.

 

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA

From time to time your personal data (including special categories of personal data) will be transferred to associated companies of the Company to process for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. This will be applicable for example where the relevant company or a manager from that company is responsible for conducting or approving the relevant process or the data is part of a global directory where other individuals need to have access. Some of these associated companies or managers are located outside the European Union (for example the United States of America). Your data is shared between associated companies on the basis of our Intra-Group Data Transfer Agreement.

Your personal data will be shared with a third-party tool to help manage its recruitment and hiring process on the Company’s behalf. Accordingly, your personal data will be transferred to the United States once you submit it through this site. Because the European Union Commission has determined that United States data privacy laws do not ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data collected from EU data subjects, the transfer will be subject to appropriate additional safeguards under the EU model clauses.

Personal data will also be transferred to third parties (e.g., service providers or regulators as set out above), who may have systems or suppliers located outside the European Union. As a result, your personal data may be transferred to countries outside of the country in which you work or outside of the European Union to countries whose data protection laws may be less stringent than ours. The Company will ensure that appropriate or suitable safeguards are in place to protect your personal information and that transfer of your personal information is in compliance with applicable data protection laws Where required by applicable data protection laws, the Company has ensured that service providers (including our associated companies) sign standard contractual clauses as approved by the European Commission or other supervisory authority with jurisdiction over the relevant Company exporter.

You can obtain a copy of the Intra-group Data Transfer Agreement in place which relate to transfers of your personal data by contacting privacy@verramobility.com. Any document made available to you may be redacted for reasons of commercial sensitivity.

you contest the accuracy of the personal data until we have taken sufficient steps to correct or verify its accuracy;
