We also may use the information in other ways for which we provide specific notice at, or prior to, the time of collection.

All processing will be carried out based on adequate legal grounds which may fall into a number of categories, including:

• consent or explicit consent from the data subject, where required by applicable law;
• to ensure that we comply with a statutory/legal obligation
• contractual requirement or any pre-contractual requirement necessary to enter into a contract;
• vital interests, where the processing is necessary to protect life; or
• it is essential and necessary for the legitimate business purpose of the Data Controller, as described in more detail below (e.g. allowing access to a website in order to provide the services offered).

Depending on the privacy laws that apply, the Data Controller is permitted to process personal data for certain legitimate business interests, which can include some or all of the following:

• Where the process enables us to enhance, modify, personalize, or otherwise improve our services/communications for the benefit of our clients, candidates, and associates;
• to identify and prevent fraud;
• to enhance security of our network and information systems;
• to better understand how people interact with our websites;
• for direct marketing purposes;
• to provide postal communications to you which we think will be of interest to you; and
• to determine the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and advertising.

Whenever we process data for these interests, we will ensure that we keep your rights in high regard and take account of these rights. You can object to such processing and may do so by contacting us as described below. Please bear in mind that if you exercise your right to object, this may affect our ability to carry out and deliver services to you for your benefit.

A number of the services we offer are enabled with AI, which may include AI/ML. With the assistance of AI, we can connect the right individuals with the best opportunities and get people into work more efficiently or prepare them for the job market more readily. 
We perform risk assessments of the AI solutions we use at ManpowerGroup and use human oversight to the fullest extent possible to ensure no automated decisions are made that produce any legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.
If you are receiving a service that includes the use of AI/ML, you should be informed of this in more detail within the privacy notice provided in connection with that particular service. 

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal data we collect against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. Such measures are designed to provide an appropriate level of security taking account, on one hand, the technical state of the art and, on the other hand, the sensitivity of the personal data and the evaluation of potential risks.
To provide the appropriate security and confidentiality of personal data, we apply the following non-exhaustive list of measures, as appropriate:

• Encryption of data at rest and in transit using industry standard encryption algorithms with appropriate key lengths;
• Strong user authentication and role-based access controls;
• Network monitoring solutions with events logging;
• Hardened network infrastructure;
• Measures for ensuring physical security of locations at which personal data are processed;
• Business continuity and disaster recovery plans with periodic testing;
• Incident management policy and processes;
• Periodic vulnerability and penetration testing;
• Certification/assurance of processes and products;
• Periodic employee privacy and security training and awareness program;
• Third party privacy and security assessments;
• Robust data processing and confidentiality agreements; and
• Organizational measures for ensuring data minimization, purpose limitation, retention, data quality and accountability.

We process the personal data we collect, also by automated means, for the purposes defined above and for a specific period of time, which complies with our internal retention policy, in order to ensure that the personal data are not kept longer than necessary.

The personal information we collect is stored in an identifiable way only for the period of time we have determined is necessary, in light of the purposes for which the data was collected. We use the following criteria to determine our retention periods:

• The necessity to retain the personal data collected, in order to offer services established with the user;
• The legitimate interest of the Data Controller, as described above; and
• The existence of specific country or state legal obligations that make the processing and related storage necessary for specific period of times.

We may disclose the personal data collected, as described in this privacy notice, or in separate notices provided in connection with the services you are receiving or eligible for. 
We may disclose a portion of personal data to vendors who perform services on our behalf, based on our instructions, to make our Sites and services available to you. We strive to ensure this data is minimized to what is necessary to perform the specific services instructed. We do not authorize vendors, that process data on our behalf, to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services or comply with legal requirements. Personal data will not be sold, rented, distributed or made available to vendors for their own commercial purposes, including for their direct marketing purposes.
We also may disclose your personal data (i) with our subsidiaries and affiliates; (ii) if you are a job candidate, with clients who may have job opportunities available or interest in placing our job candidates; and (iii) with others with whom we work, such as consultants to provide the relevant career services or staffing suppliers who work with us to fill vacancies and place people into work (iv) if you are a recipient of talent management services, we may disclose the status or progress of your program to the sponsoring client, along with any applicable assessment outcomes.
In addition, we may disclose personal data about you (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process; (ii) to law enforcement authorities or other government officials based on a lawful disclosure request; and (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss, or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraudulent or illegal activity. We also reserve the right to transfer personal data we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (including in the event of a reorganization, dissolution or liquidation).

We also may transfer the personal data we collect about you to countries outside of the country in which the information originally was collected. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the personal data.

When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that data as described in this Privacy Notice and any other specific notice given to you at the time of, or prior to, the processing. Such transfers will comply with applicable law.

When we transfer personal data from within the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, to countries that do not benefit from Adequacy Agreements, transfers will take place on the basis of:

1. a legally binding and enforceable instrument between public authorities or bodies;
2. binding corporate rules;
3. standard contractual clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission, along with the mandatory adoption provisions required for the UK and Switzerland to the extent the processing involves UK or Swiss residents.

Where transfers rely on SCCs, transfers will only take place after a transfer impact assessment of;

• The legal practices of the recipient country relating to access to data;
• The technical and organizational measures adopted to protect the data; and
• The nature of the processing to ensure purpose limitation and data minimization.

Subject to applicable law, you may obtain a copy of these safeguards by contacting us as indicated in the How to Contact Us section below.
