Contact Data, such as your address, email addresses, telephone numbers, and/or the content of a message or inquiry you may share with us.
Applicant Data, such as your name, location, prior employment history, references, and/or curriculum vitae. In some instances, to the extent permitted and in accordance with applicable law, we may also collect information needed to address workplace accommodations or information contained in a criminal background check while reviewing your employment application.‍
Technical Data, which includes your IP address, device ID, device type or other identifier, browser information including browser type and version, browser language preference, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, web browser application details, corresponding location details, date and time stamp, operating system, and other technology on the devices you use to access the Website.

Marketing and Communications Data, which includes your personal or business contact information as well as your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.

We also collect, use, and share aggregated data, such as statistical or demographic data, for any purpose. Aggregated data could be derived from your Personal Information but is generally not considered Personal Information under law as it does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity.

Where we need to collect Personal Information by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you. In this case, we may have to cancel a service you have with us.

2. SOURCES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use different methods to collect your Personal Information, including through:

Direct Interactions. You provide us your Personal Information when you interact with us directly. This includes Personal Information you provide when you request marketing communications to be sent to you, or when you give us feedback or contact us, among other circumstances.
Automated technologies or interactions. As you interact with the Website, we may automatically collect Technical Data about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns. We collect this Personal Information by using cookies, server logs, and other similar tracking technologies. ‍
Third parties or publicly available sources. We may receive Personal Information about you from various third parties. For example, we collect Technical Data from analytics providers such as Google.

3. USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may use your Personal Information in the following ways:

For our business purposes: We may process your Personal Information to complete a transaction you initiate, such as to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you, or where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) to the extent that your interests and fundamental rights do not override our interests.
To personalize your experience: Your Personal Information helps us to better respond to your individual needs and provide you with a more personalized experience while using our Website.
To improve our services: We continually strive to improve our service offerings based on the information and feedback we receive from you. When you provide us with feedback, we may collect some of your Personal Information to better respond to the feedback.
For HR and Recruitment Purposes: We may process your Personal Data if you choose to apply for a position or job with us, including for recruitment, career development, and talent management purposes. We may also use your Personal Data to conduct employment-related checks, such as background checks, to the extent permitted under and in accordance with applicable local law.
To send periodic emails, including marketing emails: The email address you provide may be used to send you marketing emails, information, and updates, in addition to occasional company news updates and notices related to us or our business.
To comply with legal obligations, such as reporting obligations or to comply with a court order.
Otherwise, as permitted by applicable law.

Where applicable laws permit us to, we rely on your consent as a ground to process your Personal Information.

Where applicable law does not permit us to rely on your consent to process your Personal Information, we rely on the following legal bases for the processing of your Personal Information:

Legitimate interests, which means our interest in conducting and managing our business to enable us to provide you with a better, more secure experience. Where required by applicable law, we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your Personal Information for our legitimate interests. In such instances, we do not use your Personal Information for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect to specific activities by contacting us.
Performance of a contract, which means we process your Personal Information where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.‍
To comply with a legal obligation, which means processing your Personal Information where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to.

We will only use your Personal Information for the purposes for which we collected it or as otherwise permitted by applicable law, such as when further processing may be compatible with the original purpose of collection. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us as stated below in the “Contact Us” section. If we need to use your Personal Information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so where such notice is required by applicable law.

Please note that we may process your Personal Information without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.

4. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not share, sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to any third parties or allow third parties to access your Personally Information except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. However, we may disclosure your Personal Information with third parties as set out below for the purposes set out in in the Policy:

Internal third parties, which are other companies within the Ohmium group of companies.

Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If our business undergoes a change, then the new owners will use your Personal Information in the manner set out in this Policy.

To the extent required by applicable laws, we require third parties to respect the security of your Personal Information and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow such third-parties to use your Personal Information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your Personal Information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

10. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Subject to the data protection laws that apply to you, you may have the right to:

Request access to your Personal Information. This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you.
Request confirmation as to whether or not your Personal Information is being processed.
Request the correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you. This enables you to have incomplete or inaccurate Personal Information we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new Personal Information you provide to us.
Request the erasure of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Information in limited circumstances. For instance, you also may have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully, or where we are required to erase your Personal Information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons, which we will notify you of, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your Personal Information. You may have the right to object to processing where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing, such as if you believe the processing impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your Personal Information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Information in the following scenarios:

If you want us to establish the Personal Information’s accuracy.
Where our use of the Personal Information is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.
Where you need us to hold the Personal Information even if we no longer require it, such as if you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
You have objected to our use of your Personal Information, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your Personal Information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you, among other grounds of processing.‍
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us as described in the “Contact Us” section below.

We may need to request specific Personal Information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within a reasonable time, and, in any event, within the time period required by applicable law. Occasionally it may take us longer to process your request, such as if your request is particularly complex or if you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated as to when we expect to be able to process your request.
