disclose your information. A list of our affiliates and subsidiaries is
available from our Privacy Office as described below, or at
https://cdn.kornferry.com/privacy/subsidiariesalliances.pdf.

(collectively, our “Social Media Pages”);

WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO
Korn Ferry is a global organizational consulting firm. We help companies design
their organization – the structure, the roles and responsibilities, as well as
how they compensate, develop and motivate their people. We also help
organizations select and hire the talent they need to execute their strategy.
Korn Ferry provides a wide range of organizational consulting services to help
companies structure their organization, and some of these Services involve the
collection and use of your Personal Information. For certain Services, Korn
Ferry, including its subsidiaries as listed here:
https://cdn.kornferry.com/privacy/ControllerEntities.pdf, is the company
responsible (or the ‘controller’) for the collection and use of your Personal
Information. These Services are described in this Policy. For other services,
Korn Ferry collects and uses your Personal Information as a service provider (or
‘processor’) on behalf of and under instructions from our clients. If you have
any questions about the collection and use of your Personal Information in the
context of those services, please contact the company that is responsible for
the collection and use of your Personal Information (e.g., the company where you
applied for a position).
The Services for which Korn Ferry collects and uses your Personal Information as
a controller (and which are covered by this Policy) are:
* Search Services. We maintain a talent pool to help clients find talent at the
board-level, chief executive, and other senior executive positions. We also
offer search Services for clients to find talent for middle to upper-level
management or temporary staff.
* Compensation and Benefit Analysis Products. We provide software products and
consulting Services that our clients can use to conduct compensation and
benefit analysis; job architecture and organizational structuring; and
mapping to Korn Ferry’s proprietary job profiles.
* Credential Network. We participate in a Credential Network: a distributed
ledger network that enables trusted, private, and secured exchange of career
credentials between individuals and organizations. We may issue you
credentials, verify your credentials exchanged on the Credential Network, or
receive credentials you disclose to us.
* Learning Services and Development Products. We provide a business-to-consumer
version of a software product, called KF Advance, that users can use for
coaching and job-hunting preparation. In addition, we may offer e-learning
and training services for individuals from time-to-time.
* Our Site. We disclose research, whitepapers, and service information on the
Site; provide access to KF Store to purchase books and products; and share
issues of the Briefings Magazine.
For additional controller activities, see the Processing of Personal Information
section below.
The services for which Korn Ferry collects and uses your Personal Information as
a processor are:
* Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) Services. We provide recruitment
process outsourcing and/or project recruitment services to help our clients
attract top people. This involves Korn Ferry recruiting individuals on the
client’s behalf.
* Consulting Services. We help our clients implement their business strategy by
consulting with them on strategy execution and organization design, talent
strategy and work design, rewards and benefits, assessment and succession,
leadership development, and other talent needs.
* Assessment and Survey Services. We help clients in their roles as the data
controllers, conduct employee and candidate assessments and surveys.
* Software Products (other than Compensation and Benefit Analysis Products). In
addition to the Compensation and Benefit Analysis products mentioned above,
we provide other software products that our clients can use, for example, to
conduct assessments, surveys, or career coaching. When we collect and use
your Personal Information in relation to these software products other than
the Compensation and Benefit Analysis products, we do so as a processor for
our clients.

In connection with a sale or business transaction
We have a legitimate interest in disclosing or transferring your Personal
Information to a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale,
joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion
of our business, assets, or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy
or similar proceedings). You will be notified of any such business transaction
and of possible changes to the processing of your Personal Information in
accordance with applicable law and the ‘Updates To This Policy’ section.
OTHER INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Korn Ferry collects other information that does not reveal your specific
identity (“Other Information”), such as:
* Information collected through cookies, pixel tags, and other technologies,
App usage data,
* Demographic information and other information provided by you, and
* Aggregated information.
Because Other Information does not reveal your specific identity, we may use and
disclose it for any purpose. If we combine Other Information with Personal
Information, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information for
as long as it is combined. Where we maintain or use de-identified information,
we will continue to maintain and use the de-identified information only in a
de-identified fashion and will not attempt to re-identify the information.
If we are required to treat Other Information as Personal Information under
applicable law, we may use and disclose it for the purposes for which we use and
disclose your Personal Information as detailed in this Policy.
We and our third-party service providers may collect Other Information in a
variety of ways.
We use “cookies” (small text files placed on a visitor’s computer hard drive)
and other similar technologies to help us collect information like the type of
content a visitor to the Site consumes, pages visited, mouse clicks, keystrokes,
the length of time each visitor spends at any area of the Site, and other
traffic data. Cookies and similar technologies enhance your experience on the
Site and help us debug, identify, and fix errors that impair the intended
functionality and quality of the Site. We do not currently respond to browser
do-not-track signals. Please see Korn Ferry’s cookie policy for more information
about our use of cookies. You can access our cookie tool here:

If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, most

declining or accepting a particular cookie(s) from a particular site. Please
refer to http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies for information on how to

ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES

privacy and safety of others or put our intellectual property at risk.
* Please note that when we perform Services at the specific request of our

able to provide you with a redacted summary of our final assessment report
because these reports contain confidential client personal information that

When the processing of your personal information is subject to privacy laws of
the European Economic Area (EEA), you may also lodge a complaint or report an
alleged infringement of applicable data protection law with a data protection
authority for your country or region where you have your habitual residence or
place of work, or where an alleged infringement of applicable data protection
law has occurred. A list of data protection authorities in the European
Economic Area (EEA) is available at
https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/article29/items/612080. If the processing of your
personal information is subject to the privacy laws of the United Kingdom (UK),
you may lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
If you are not certain whether the processing of your personal information is
subject to EEA or UK privacy laws, please contact us in accordance with the
“Contact Us” section below.
JURISDICTION AND CROSS-BORDER TRANSFER
Your Personal Information may be stored and processed where we have facilities
(see https://cdn.kornferry.com/privacy/subsidiariesalliances.pdf) or where we
engage service providers (see
https://cdn.kornferry.com/privacy/subprocessor.pdf), and by using the Services
you understand that your Personal Information will be transferred to countries
outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may
have data protection rules that are different from those of your country. We can
provide a list of destination countries upon written request.
Where our Services will involve transferring your Personal Information outside
the UK and/or EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by
ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
* Adequacy Decisions: Some of the non-EEA countries are recognized under the UK
GDPR and by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data
protection according to EEA standards (the full list of these countries is
available here https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-
transfers-outside-eu/adequacy-protection-personal-data-non-eu-countries_en).
* Standard Contractual Clauses: For transfers from the UK and/or EEA to third
countries, which are not considered adequate under the UK GDPR and/or by the
European Commission, we have put in place controller-to-controller and
controller-to-processor standard contractual clauses, adopted under the UK
GDPR and/or by the European Commission, to protect your Personal Information.
You may obtain a copy of these measures and a list of third countries by
contacting the Privacy Office at privacy@kornferry.com or viewing the
relevant standard contractual clauses with our clients at
https://www.kornferry.com/privacy/security/scc. “UK GDPR” has the meaning
given to it in section 3(10) (as supplemented by section 205(4)) of the UK
Data Protection Act 2018.
SECURITY
Korn Ferry seeks to use reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative
measures to protect Personal Information within our organization. Unfortunately,
no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
* If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer
secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might
have with us has been compromised or your user credentials are no longer
secure), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us as
described in the “Contacting Us” section below.
RETENTION PERIOD
We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the
purposes outlined in this Policy unless a longer retention period is required or
permitted by law, for example, for the purposes of satisfying any legal,
regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements.
* The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:
* The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you or our client
and provide the Services to you (for example, for as long as you have an
account with us or keep using the Services),
* A period beyond the time of the ongoing relationship if we have a
legitimate internal operations need, such as a need to retain the
information for analysis, record-keeping, and compliance with data
retention schedules,
* If there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example,
certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain
period before we can delete them), or
* If retention is advisable considering our legal position (such as regarding
applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory
investigations).
Where a legal obligation arises or retention is advisable in light of our legal
position, in some circumstances, we will retain certain Personal Information,
even after your account has been deleted and/or we no longer provide the
Services to you, for example:
* To cooperate with law enforcement or public, regulatory and government
authorities: If we receive a preservation order or search warrant related to
your Services account, we will preserve Personal Information subject to such
order or warrant after you delete your Services account.
* To comply with legal provisions on tax and accounting: We may retain your
Personal Information, such as Billing Information, Relationship History,
Transaction Information, Customer Invoices as permitted by applicable laws
and Korn Ferry policies after you delete your Services account, as required
by tax law and to comply with bookkeeping requirements.
* To pursue or defend a legal action: We may retain relevant Personal
Information in the event of a legal claim or complaint, including regulatory
investigations or legal proceedings about a claim related to your Personal
Information, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation
(whether in respect of our relationship with you or otherwise) as permitted
by applicable laws and Korn Ferry policies after the dispute has been settled
or decided by a court or tribunal from which there is no further right of
appeal.
* To document security or fraud incidents: We may keep and archive records of
incidents for internal purposes and as documentation of steps taken.
In some circumstances and subject to applicable law, we de-identify, aggregate,
pseudonymize, and/or use other technical and operational controls to anonymize
your Personal Information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for
research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information
indefinitely without further notice to you.
THIRD PARTY SERVICES
This Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy,
information, or other practices of any other third parties, including any third
party operating any website or service to which the Services link.
* You may have the opportunity to follow a link from or to other websites
maintained by Korn Ferry affiliates, or other third parties. The inclusion of
a link to a third party site or service from our Services does not imply our
endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates. Because
these other websites may not be hosted or controlled by Korn Ferry, this
Policy does not address the privacy practices of those websites. We encourage
you to review the privacy policies of each of those websites.
* Please note that we are not responsible for the information collection, use,
disclosure, or security policies or practices (including the data security
practices) of other organizations, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Apple, Google,
Microsoft, RIM, or any other app developer, app provider, social media
platform provider, operating system provider, wireless service provider or
device manufacturer, including any Personal Information you disclose to other
organizations through or in connection with the Apps or our Social Media
Pages.
SENSITIVE INFORMATION
Unless we request it, we ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any
sensitive Personal Information (e.g., social security numbers, information
related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other
beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background, or
trade union membership) through the Services or otherwise to us.
UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
Korn Ferry reviews its privacy practices regularly, and those practices are
subject to change. You can determine when this Policy was last revised by
checking the “Last Updated” legend at the bottom of the Policy. Any changes to
the Policy will become effective upon posting of the revised Policy on the
Internet.
USE OF SERVICES BY MINORS
The Services are not directed to individuals under the age of sixteen (16), and
we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from individuals under 16. We
request that these individuals do not provide their Personal Information through
the Services.

respect to the collection of Personal Information through the Services and the
usage of Personal Information. Any summaries of this Policy generated by third
party software or otherwise (for example, in connection with the “Platform for
Privacy Preferences” or “P3P”) have no legal effect, are in no way binding upon
Korn Ferry, cannot be relied upon in substitute for this Policy, and neither
supersede nor modify this Policy.

privacy of others or put our intellectual property at risk. Please also note
that when we perform Services at the specific request of a Korn Ferry Mexico
client, your request may need to be directed to that client. For example, we may
only be able to provide you with a non-confidential summary of our final
assessment report because these reports contain confidential client personal
information that we are not allowed to disclose.
