5. Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies

We may Process your User Information by placing or reading Cookies and similar technologies on the Services and Channels. Certain tracking technologies enable us to assign a unique identifier to you, and relate information about your use of the Services to Other Information about you, including your User Information for the purposes of learning more about you so we can provide you with relevant content. We and our partners also use these technologies to analyze trends, administer the Services, collect and store information such as user settings, anonymous browser identifiers and video viewing history, supplement to our server logs and other methods of traffic and response measurement, track users’ location and movements around the Services, gather demographic information about our user base, and to improve our understanding of traffic on the Services, visitor behavior, and responses to promotional campaigns.

Tracking technologies on the Services may be deployed by HR KIT® and/or by our service providers or partners. Certain tracking technologies enable us to assign a unique identifier to you, and relate information about your use of the Services to other information about you, including your User Information. We may match information collected from you through different means or at different times and use such information along with offline and online information obtained from other sources (including from third parties), including, but not limited to, demographic information and updated contact information, for the purposes of learning more about you so we can provide you with relevant content.

When you receive email messages or newsletters from us, we may use web beacons, customized links, clear GIFs or similar technologies to determine whether the email has been opened and which links you click in order to provide you with more focused email communications or other information, and/or to aggregate that information with other data we collect to use for some or all of the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

We and our partners (including but not limited to e-commerce partners, affiliates, and analytics providers) also may use technologies such as pixel tags, e-tags, IP addresses, Local Shared Objects, Local Storage, Flash cookies and HTML5 to analyze trends, administer the Services, collect and store information such as user settings, anonymous browser identifiers and video viewing history, supplement our server logs and other methods of traffic and response measurement, track users’ location and movements around the Services, gather demographic information about our user base, and to improve our understanding of traffic on the Services, visitor behavior, and responses to promotional campaigns. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these third party companies on an individual and aggregated basis. For example, we may connect information about your IP address to known corporate or User Information and use the associated information related to aggregate content preferences to assist in our efforts to provide services to you.

We may use mobile analytics software to collect data and to better understand the functionality of our mobile software, devices and applications on your phone and other devices. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from. We may link this information to User Information.

6. What is the Lawful Basis for Processing Personal Information

We may Process your User Information where: you have given your consent, the Processing is necessary for a contract between you and us, the Processing is required by applicable law, the Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of any individual, or where we have a valid legitimate interest in the Processing.

In Processing your User Information in connection with the purposes set out in this Policy, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the circumstances:

1. • Consent: We may Process your User Information where we have obtained your prior, express consent to the Processing (this legal basis is only used in relation to Processing that is entirely voluntary – it is not used for Processing that is necessary or obligatory in any way),

7. What Information We Disclose to Third Parties

We may disclose your User Information to: legal and regulatory authorities, our external advisors, parties who Process User Information on our behalf (“Processors“), any party as necessary in connection with legal proceedings, any party as necessary for investigating, detecting or preventing criminal offences, and any third party providers of advertising, plugins or content used on the Services.

We may disclose your User Information to other entities within the Company group, for legitimate business purposes (including operating the Services, and providing services to you), in accordance with applicable law. In addition, we may disclose your User Information to:

1. • legal and regulatory authorities, upon request, or for the purposes of reporting any actual or suspected breach of applicable law or regulation,
   • outside professional advisors (such as accountants, auditors, or lawyers), subject to binding contractual obligations of confidentiality,
   • third party Processors (such as analytic providers, data centers, etc.), located anywhere in the world, subject to the requirements noted below in  Section 8,
   • any relevant party, law enforcement agency or court, to the extent necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal rights,
   • any relevant party for the purposes of prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties, including safeguarding against and the prevention of threats to public security,
   • any relevant third party acquirer(s), in the event that we sell or transfer all or any relevant portion of our business or assets (including in the event of a reorganization, dissolution or liquidation),
   • other third parties, GDPR compliant (e.g., third party providers of goods and services, content publishers and retailers).

With respect to surveys, in the event that responses are publicly disclosed, users will be notified at the time they take the survey. Otherwise we will disclose only aggregate information regarding its users’ responses in surveys to other participants in the survey. Where surveys allow users to submit written comments, and where HR KIT® advises users of the possibility of such disclosure at the time they take the survey, HR KIT® reserves the right to disclose any information provided by users, provided that no User Information identifying a specific user is disclosed.

HR KIT® may use third party service companies to perform related services when you interact with the Services. Often, these third party companies employ cookies and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of website, app and email and to create a record of interaction with our content that they use in conjunction with other sites or applications, or for reporting website traffic, app use, statistics and/or other activities on the Services. We also engage third party providers to assist with the segmentation of this data.

We may engage third party providers to assist with the collection, storage and segmentation of Online Data and the providers are required to maintain the confidentiality of this information. These third party providers may collect User Information from our Services for their own purposes, including but not limited to monitoring fraud around the web.

We may also engage third parties for the purpose of recognizing our users and delivering interest-based content to them. We may share your User Information with our partners such as your name, postal address, email, or other identifier. Our partners may also: (i) collect information directly from your device, such as your IP address, device ID, and information about your browser or operating system, (ii) combine User Information about you received from HR KIT® with information about you from other sites or services, and (iii) place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser.

If we engage a third-party Processor to Process your User Information, the Processor will be subject to binding contractual obligations to: (i) only Process the User Information in accordance with our prior written instructions, and (ii) use measures to protect the confidentiality and security of the User Information, together with any additional requirements under applicable law.

The Services may contain links to other sites or partners whose information practices may be different from ours. You should consult the privacy policy of these third parties to learn how your privacy is protected.

8. International Transfers of Information

Because of the international nature of our business, we may need to transfer your User Information within the HR KIT®, and to third parties as noted in Section 7 above, in connection with the purposes set out in this Policy. For this reason, we may transfer your User Information to other countries that may have different laws and data protection compliance requirements to those that apply in the country in which you are located.

9. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your User Information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized access, and other unlawful or unauthorized forms of Processing, in accordance with applicable law. In certain instances we may use Secure Sockets Layer encryption and/or transfer certain User Information in a non-human readable format to provide protection. However, we cannot guarantee there will not be a breach, and we are not responsible for any breach of security or for the actions of any third parties.

Because the internet is an open system, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will implement reasonable measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us using the internet (e.g when you are connected to free or home or guest WiFi). Any such transmission is at your own risk and you are responsible for ensuring that any Personal Information that you send to us are sent securely.

10. Data Accuracy

We take every reasonable step to ensure that your User Information that we Process is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date, and any of your User Information that we Process that you inform us is inaccurate (having regard to the purposes for which they are Processed) is erased or rectified.

11. Data Minimization

We take every reasonable step to ensure that your User Information that we Process is limited to the User Information reasonably necessary in connection with the purposes set out in this Policy or as required to provide you services or access to the Services.

12. Data Retention

We take every reasonable step to ensure that your User Information is only Processed for the minimum period necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy. The criteria for determining the duration for which we will keep your User Information are as follows: we will retain copies of your User Information in a form that permits identification only for as long as is necessary in connection with the purposes set out in this Policy, unless applicable law requires a longer retention period. Unless there is a specific legal requirement for us to keep the information, we plan to retain it for no longer than is necessary to fulfill a legitimate business need.

13. What Can I Do to Control My Information?

You have certain rights including: the right not to provide your Personal Information to us, the right of access to your Personal Information, the right to request rectification of inaccuracies, the right to request the erasure, or restriction of Processing, of your Personal Information, the right to object to the Processing of your Personal Information, the right to have your Personal Information transferred to another controller, the right to withdraw consent, and the right to lodge complaints with supervisory authorities.

Push Notifications. We send you push notifications from time-to-time in order to update you about any events or promotions that we may be running. If you no longer wish to receive these types of communications, you may turn them off at the device level.

If you have provided more than one email address to us, you may continue to be contacted unless you request to unsubscribe each email address you have provided.

Cookies and Pixel Tags. You may stop or restrict cookies and pixel tags on your computer or purge cookies from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences.

These rights include, in accordance with applicable law, the right to object to or request the restriction of processing of your information, and to request access to, rectification, erasure and portability of your own information. Where we process your information on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent (noting that such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of any Processing performed prior to the date on which we receive notice of such withdrawal, and does not prevent the Processing of your Personal Information in reliance upon any other available legal bases). Requests should be submitted by contacting us (using the contact instructions in Section 15 below). If you are an EU resident and have any unresolved privacy concern that we have not addressed satisfactorily after contacting us, you have the right to contact the appropriate EU Supervisory Authority and lodge a complaint.
