[the index items will be prefaced with “click” buttons so that the user can click on the desired section which will then expand]

In this Notice you may be referred to as a ‘Candidate,’ the ‘Interim Manager’ or ‘You’.

To carry out our services LHH uses several IT systems. In some cases, LHH may provide a Portal (‘Portal’) for your use in searching for opportunities and providing your resume/CV to us. The Portal allows you to search and apply for jobs LHH advertises which match your interests, skills and/or experience, in the locations where you have expressed an interest in working. and to submit your resume for our consideration in connection with available positions with our clients, including interim manager assignments.

What do we mean by personal information:

• Personal information means, any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

• “Special Categories” means personal information revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation.

What personal information does LHH collect and use?

   Personal information that LHH usually collects includes, but is not limited to:

• your name, contact details and qualifications (experience, education, licenses, honors and awards, training courses and internships, job skills, goals, desired skills, desired positions), documents evidencing your identity and right to work and any other information you indicate on your resume or CV;

• if you set up a profile and log on to our Portal, or you log in using your LinkedIn or any other social media account: your profile data;

• if you contact us, in some cases we will keep a record of that correspondence;

• feedback about you from our staff and third parties (such as persons who provide a reference on your behalf);

• your address, social insurance or tax ID number and other personal information used in the administration of your employment as an Interim Manager;

• we may also collect information on your visits to our website/Portal including (but not limited to) your IP address, browser, timestamp, location, country traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data and the resources that you access. This information will make your visit to our website/Portal easier in the future. We might, for example, suggest jobs to you which are local to where you were when you contacted us;

• we may collect information for marketing purposes and analysis, including information on how you respond to email, SMS, phone and other marketing campaigns;

• if you participate in video interviewing sessions, photos and videos of your attendance at such sessions (you will be given a chance at the session to ask not to be videoed or photographed);

• details of any disabilities and any accommodations we may need to arrange for you in fulfilling your assignments as an Interim Manager; and

• in some cases we will also collect special categories of personal information where we are permitted to do so by law (so in some countries we will ask you about your background for equal opportunities monitoring), or if you include such information on your resume/CV. NOTE: When you provide special categories of personal information on your resume/cv, you give us consent to process your resume/cv with such information.

Why do we use personal information about you and what is our right to do so (or “legal basis”)?

We are required to have a legitimate ground or reason to process the information we hold about you. In some cases, processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of LHH. In those cases we ensure that processing is conducted in such a manner that our legitimate interests outweigh any individual’s interest. We shall only process your personal information other than on these grounds with your consent (a further processing ground).

In addition to the processing listed above, we may anonymise your personal information by processing your personal information so that it is impossible to identify any particular individuals (e.g., by removing all pieces of information which might allow an individual to be identified such as name, phone number, email address and carrying out a process to make it impossible to re-identify that individual) and use that anonymised information for any purpose.

Do We Use Your Personal Data For Direct Marketing Purposes?

We will only send marketing communications to you, as an individual, if you have explicitly consented to us doing so. The Company does not sell your Personal Data to any third party for marketing purposes. We also will not use your Personal Data for any direct marketing purposes from us unless you give explicit consent. If you do give explicit consent, you have the right to withdraw such consent. You can withdraw consent by visiting the service portal, if such is provided for your service, or by sending us a message. Learn how to send us a message by visiting the ‘How could you contact us section.

B2B Communications. If you represent our prospect, partner or customer, either prior to entering into an agreement with LHH or during a business relationship between LHH and the legal entity which you represent, we may process your basic contact details (e.g. your name, surname, job position, company name, e-mail, and phone number) so far as necessary to carry out our joint business relationship. When we can legally do so, we may augment this information in order to assure that it is accurate. This processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest in maintaining and developing our business relationship and customer base, promoting our products, services, and customer loyalty programs. Generally, you cannot opt out of these sorts of communications which are not marketing-related but merely required for the relevant business relationship.

You may easily opt out of receiving any further marketing communications at any time. Simply click the ‘unsubscribe’ or ‘opt-out’ function at the bottom of the email. In addition, you can also exercise your opt-out right at any time as described below. See “Contact us”.

Do you have to give us the personal information we ask for?

You are not obliged to provide your personal information to us, but it may be impossible for us to provide our services if you do not.

Do we process information about you without any human intervention at all?

Yes, we may at times. The Company may utilize automated systems/processes and automated decision-making (like profiling) to provide you, and our clients, with the services requested from us. For example, when our clients are looking for candidates for jobs, we may conduct a search of our lists of candidates using automated criteria which take into account your availability, skillset, desired salary and in some circumstances previous feedback we have received from clients to compile a shortlist which ranks those candidates who are most likely to fulfil the client’s requirement. This means that sometimes your position in the rank may be higher than others, depending on how these factors match the client’s needs. We (or our client) may also request that you undergo assessments which take into account certain attributes which may be indicative of your ability to fulfil a job requirement.

However, we do not make any automated decisions solely through automated means without implementing suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests.

For how long do we keep your personal information?

If you are seeking recruitment services or otherwise applying for positions posted with LHH, we can keep your personal information for up to 10 years after you submit your resume/CV to us for employment opportunities. If you are seeking interim manager assignments and are successful in finding work through us, LHH will retain your personal data concerning taxes, contracts of employment and any financial information (including data relating to pay, etc.) for 7 years, and other personal information for 10 years.

Do we transfer your data to third parties?

We usually disclose your data to third parties. This is done to complete the purposes set out above, and includes transfers to the following:

• To our suppliers.

We may, for example, engage a supplier to carry out administrative and operational work in support of our relationship with you. The supplier(s) will be subject to contractual and other legal obligations to preserve the confidentiality of your data and to respect your privacy, and will only have access to the data they need to perform their functions; the relevant suppliers are typically IT suppliers (who host or support our IT systems, including information about you), premises management companies (who look after physical security at our buildings, and therefore may need to know about you to allow access to our buildings) and back office finance and accounting management providers (who might need to handle your details in order to process accounts payable and receivable). We may also engage suppliers who provide audio, video and/or web-conferencing tools, or IT technology services and solutions, which might include video interview and skills assessment tools.

• To members of the LHH group of companies in other countries (including as applicable companies directly or indirectly controlled by Adecco).

These may be located in- or outside Canada or the European Union; different members of the group fulfil different functions and as result your information may be shared with them for different reasons:

• A list of LHH companies is included here https://www.lhh.com/office-locator and a list of Adecco Group companies is included here www.adeccogroup.com/worldwide-locations/.

• To our clients/prospective employers.

We will share your data with clients of ours who are recruiting candidates for employment or interim manager assignments you may be interested in, or who are interested in your profile. These clients owe contractual and other confidentiality obligations in relation to your data to us, and to you. These transfers may include providing to an LHH client the results of reference checks requested and reports containing the results of any assessments in which you participate as required by clients with which you have made an application for employment or interim management assignments.

• To members of the Amrop network.

Amrop is a global network of recruitment companies who participate in referral arrangements. We may transfer your personal information to Amrop members when you express interest in employment opportunity in countries in which an Amrop member operates.

• To legal authorities.

We will share your data with government, police, regulators or law enforcement agencies if required to comply with law enforcement or legal process, such as a court order or subpoena, or if needed to protect ourselves or others, for example, individuals in a dispute or against fraud or illegal activity.

• To other third parties in connection with corporate transactions.

As part of due diligence relating to (or implementation of) a merger, acquisition or other business transaction we may need to disclose your data to the prospective seller or buyer and their advisers.

Do we transfer or store your Personal Data outside your home country?

Your data can be transferred and processed in countries other than your home country. We shall only transfer your Personal Data to countries that provide an adequate level of data protection as defined by the European Commission, or where we have put in place appropriate safeguards. Regardless of where your information is processed by us or our affiliated companies, we apply the same protections described in this policy and comply with applicable legal requirements.

As explained in the Privacy Notice, we sometimes provide personal information to third parties to perform services on our behalf. If we transfer personal information received under the Privacy Shield to a third party, the third party's access, use, and disclosure of the personal information must also be in compliance with our Privacy Shield obligations, and we will remain liable under the Privacy Shield for any failure to do so by the third party unless we prove we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

LHH is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for compliance and enforcement of the Privacy Shield and Swiss Privacy Shield. LHH is also committed to cooperating with EEA, UK, and Swiss data protection authorities.
