Legal and regulatory compliance, including obtaining and releasing personal data as required by law, judicial organisations or practice in order to comply with legal obligations imposed on us.
TBSCG processes your personal data in accordance with several legal bases, depending on the type of data and purpose of the processing. Under most circumstances, TBSCG’s processing of your Personal Data in the recruitment context is based on your request in the anticipation of entering into an employment agreement with TBSCG. TBSCG will also process this information, where required, to comply with legal obligations to which it is subject, such as governmental reporting obligations. In some circumstances, TBSCG will process your Personal Data in accordance with its own legitimate interest in operating its business, including conducting the above described activities for internal administrative purposes and ensuring network and information security. A different legal basis may be provided at the point where Personal Data is collected.
How is Sensitive Personal Data treated?
TBSCG aims to limit the collection of Sensitive Personal Data and shall only collect Sensitive Person Data if there is a legal justification for processing it, or if it is collected and processed with your expressed consent.
TBSCG recognises the additional need to protect Sensitive Personal Data. All Sensitive Personal Data is processed in strict compliance with applicable local law and only by a restricted number of individuals, who have a clear and justified need to know such information.
Sensitive Personal Data may be processed where necessary to enable TBSCG to exercise its legal rights or to perform its legal obligations in the field of employment law or related fields of law.
Who has access to your data?
At TBSCG, we have a responsibility to implement appropriate access control measures to ensure that your Personal Data is only accessed by persons having a clear need to know such information.
The extent to which your Personal Data are made accessible will depend upon the nature of the data concerned. Prior to hire, your Personal Data is not made widely available. Some Personal Data, such as your resume, job history, and other information relevant to assessing your ability for the position to which you have applied, are made available as needed to the TBSCG team you are seeking to join, others within TBSCG with a stake in the applied for role and appropriate members of the TBSCG Human Resources Department. Except as needed to assess your qualifications for the role, access to most of your Personal Data is restricted to certain experts (e.g. Human Resources, IT or Legal) to the extent necessary to perform their work tasks.
Transfer of Personal Data
TBSCG will not sell, lease, rent or otherwise disclose your Personal Data except where the following may apply:
Consent
TBSCG may share your Personal Data if you have given consent for the company to do so.
TBSCG and authorised third parties
TBSCG may share your Personal Data with authorised third parties who process Personal Data for TBSCG for the purposes described in this Policy or otherwise provide recruitment related services to TBSCG. In such cases, TBSCG will ensure there is a genuine need to transfer your Personal Data and that suitable measures are in place to safeguard the processing of your Personal Data by authorised third parties.
Authorised third parties include, for example, recruitment agencies, professional advisors, external legal counsel, recruiting systems providers, providers of assessments and other third party suppliers.
Authorised third parties may have technical access to your Personal Data in the course of providing their services but will be contractually restricted (or subject to a professional or statutory duty of confidentiality) from processing you Personal Data for other purposes. TBSCG also requires these third parties to act consistently with this Policy, using appropriate security measures to protect your Personal Data.
International transfers of Personal Data
TBSCG is a global company that has affiliates, business processes and technical systems that cross borders. This means that your Personal Data may be transferred across international borders to countries other than the one you are applying to as an applicant. These other countries may not have equivalent laws providing specific protection or rights in relation to Personal Data, or they may have different rules on privacy and data protection. TBSCG takes steps to ensure there is an adequate legal basis for international transfers of Personal Data and that suitable protection for your Personal Data is provided by applicable law. Examples of such steps include use of appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your Personal Data. You may contact the TBSCG GDPR Team at
to obtain additional information about the safeguards taken by TBSCG in relation to these transfers.
Mandatory disclosures
At times, TBSCG may be required by or under mandatory law to disclose your Personal Data to certain authorities or other third parties – for example, to government agencies responsible for the employment activities, statistical information or to the police or other law enforcement agencies, for example in context of conducting a criminal investigation.
Mergers and acquisitions
Where TBSCG takes steps to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganise its business in certain countries, the company may be required to disclose Personal Data to prospective or actual purchasers and their advisers. In such circumstances, TBSCG will take all reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate measures to protect Personal Data are taken by such prospective or actual purchasers and their advisers.
Other
TBSCG may disclose your Personal Data if it is necessary to protect your vital interests. TBSCG may also disclose and otherwise process your Personal Data in accordance with applicable law to defend TBSCG’s legitimate interests, for example, in legal proceedings.
What steps are taken to safeguard your Personal Data?
TBSCG takes steps to enforce our internal policies and guidelines throughout the company across an appropriate selection of activities, including proactive and reactive risk management, security and privacy engineering, training and assessments. These steps enable and promote online security, physical security and consideration of data loss and/or risks presented by the processing and the nature of the data being protected. In addition, we limit our access to our data bases containing Personal Data to authorised persons having a justified need to access such information.
Data Quality
TBSCG aims to keep the Personal Data we process accurate and to delete incorrect or unnecessary Personal Data. Where applicable, TBSCG encourages you to contact the GDPR Team ([email protected]) to keep any Personal Data the company may hold of you up to date.
