This Notice is being provided to you in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, or the “GDPR”).
What is “Personal Data” and “Processing”?
Under the GDPR, “Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable Data Subject; specifically including, but not limited to, name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that Data Subject. A Data Subject is a natural person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to 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, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction. “Process” and “processed” have a corresponding meaning.
The GDPR prohibits the processing of “special categories” of Personal Data unless certain exceptions apply, because the unauthorized use of this type of Personal Data could create more significant risks to a Data Subject’s fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, an unauthorized disclosure of “special categories” of Personal Data may put Data Subjects at risk of unlawful discrimination. For this purpose, processing of “special categories” of Personal Data includes processing of: (i) Personal Data that reveals; (A) racial or ethnic origin, (B) political opinions, (C) religious or philosophical beliefs, or (D) trade union membership; or (ii) (A) genetic data, (B) biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, (C) data concerning health, or (D) data concerning a natural personal’s sex life or sexual orientation.
How and When Do We Collect Your Personal Data?

For example, we may collect your Personal Data: (i) from the information you provide to us when you interact with us before applying (e.g., when you express your interest in working at 麻豆国产AV); (ii) when you apply for a position at 麻豆国产AV and complete employment forms or other documentation; (iii) when you communicate with us by telephone, email or via our website (e.g., in order to make inquiries or raise concerns); (iv) when you interact with us during your time as an employee at 麻豆国产AV, for one or more of the purposes set out below; and (v) from third parties (e.g., from recruitment organizations, government agencies in connection with visas, or from your previous college, university, or employers), who may provide records or a reference about you. In addition, we may, to the extent permitted by law, monitor your computer and telephone use. Failure to provide any Personal Data reasonably requested of you may result in an automatic disqualification from the recruitment and/or application for employment process.

We may process the following types of Personal Data about you that are described in the Notice, to the extent we obtain it in connection with your employment or other interaction with us and to the extent permitted by law.

We generally collect your Personal Data, which could include, but is not limited to, your photograph; your current and any previous job descriptions; your current and any previous contracts of employment and related correspondence; your training and development qualifications, requests and requirements; records of your performance appraisals; records, where they exist, of any investigation or review into your conduct or performance; records of absences from work (including, but not limited to, annual leave entitlement, sick leave, parental leave and bereavement leave); correspondence between you and 麻豆国产AV, and between other 麻豆国产AV employees, regarding any matters relating to your employment and any related issues (including, but not limited to, changes to duties, responsibilities and benefits, your retirement, resignation or exit from 麻豆国产AV, and personal and professional references provided by 麻豆国产AV to you or a third party at your request).

How Your Personal Data Will Be Used
As your employer, 麻豆国产AV needs to keep and process information about you (including your Personal Data) for normal employment purposes. The Personal Data we hold and process will be used lawfully for our management and administrative use. We will keep and use it to enable us to run our business and manage our relationship with you effectively, lawfully and appropriately, during the recruitment process, while you are working for us, and throughout the period you provide services to us, up until the termination of our employment relationship with you. This includes using Personal Data to enable us to comply with any employment contracts, collective bargaining agreements, severance agreements, and similar contracts, to comply with any legal requirements, pursue our legitimate interests as an employer, and protect our legal position in the event of legal proceedings. The legal basis for processing your Personal Data is that it is necessary for you to be employed by us as an employee, where you will be subject to our governing documents. If you do not provide the Personal Data we request, we may be unable, in some circumstances, to comply with our obligations, and we will tell you about the implications of that decision.
Much of the Personal Data we process will have been provided by you, but some Personal Data may come from other internal sources (e.g., other employees, governing board members, or students, as applicable), previous employers, or in some cases, external sources.
We generally will not access personal data about you from social media sites, unless there is a legitimate interest for us to do so and it is done in a lawful manner (for example, if the role you have applied for has a significant public-facing element to it, or is involved with publicity and presenting us to the general public). Consequently, we do not routinely screen applicants’ social media profiles, but if aspects of your social media profile are brought to our attention and give rise to concerns about your suitability for the role in question, we may need to consider them.
How We Share Your Personal Data
For the purposes referred to in this Notice and relying on the lawful bases for processing as set out above, we may share your Personal Data with certain third parties in accordance with applicable law. We may disclose limited Personal Data to a variety of recipients if we determine it to be appropriate and lawful, including: (i) the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service, other federal agencies and relevant state agencies and/or offices; and (ii) other individuals where there is a legitimate reason for their receiving the information, including disclosures to: (a) third parties who work with us to provide employment services; (b) third parties who work with us to provide employee benefits (e.g., health, dental, retirement, and fringe benefits); (c) third parties who are contracted to provide IT services for us; (d) organizations operating anti-plagiarism software on our behalf; (e) internal and external auditors, attorneys, and other professional service providers; and (f) certain third parties interested in tracking employee progress, including: (1) current or potential education providers; (2) current or potential employers (e.g., to provide references); (3) professional and regulatory bodies in relation to the confirmation of qualifications, professional registration, conduct, and the accreditation of courses; (4) government departments and agencies where we have a statutory obligation to provide information; (5) police or law enforcement agencies; (6) next-of-kin (where there is a legitimate reason for disclosure); (7) third parties conducting surveys (e.g., a compensation survey); and (8) third parties engaged in fundraising and alumni relations efforts on our behalf.

In certain circumstances, you also may have the right to object to our processing of your Personal Data.

Questions/Concerns/Complaints
