How your personal data is shared depends on the type of personal data being shared and the nature of the action. Most sharing of your personal data takes place where we identify a particular legitimate business interest or benefit to improve our services. Other types of actions will only occur where you request it, such as opening an account on a particular Site.

How do I stop my personal data from being shared in this way?

We try to facilitate your preferences. If you do not wish your information to be shared in this way, depending on the Site, you can request the deletion of your account, request the deletion of your personal data, or request that your data not be shared this way while maintaining an account. These options can be requested by following the instructions in the Privacy Policy of the Site you have used.

Does the launch of the HR Tech Privacy Center result in any change to how my personal data will be used?

No, this launch does not result in any change to how your personal data will be used. The Center is simply designed to provide you with more transparency about the data sharing that takes place between the Site(s) you’ve used and affiliates.

Does this mean that all my data will now be shared with all the Privacy Center Sites without restriction?

No, the sharing of your personal data is governed by the provisions of the Privacy and Cookie Policies of the Sites you have used. We encourage you to refer to those provisions so you have a clear understanding. As mentioned above, the launch of the Center is primarily to provide increased transparency about the data sharing detailed in the Privacy and Cookie Policies of the Sites you have used.

We use various mandated legal methods to ensure that adequate protections are applied to such sharing. That may include one or a combination of measures. Examples of some measures used may include standard contractual clauses, the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework, onward transfer agreements, or other mechanisms as we determine to be appropriate to adequately protect transfers of your personal data.
