PRIVACY POLICY
Lasted Updated 22/10/2021
1.1 Xref Limited, together with other members of its group ("Xref", “we”, us”,
“our”) takes its responsibilities under data protection legislation seriously.
1.2 This Privacy Policy aims to provide users of our services (“Users”, “you”,
“your”) with a clear summary of how we use information that is provided to us
and how Xref complies with applicable data protection laws, covering the
following areas:
Section 2: Categories Of Users
Section 3: Purposes of Collection and Disclosure for Each Category of Users
− All Users
− Employers Representatives
− Candidates
− Referees
− Employees - which include current, departing and former employees as
applicable in each case.
Section 4: Marketing and Analytics
Section 5: Security and Storage
Section 6: Disclosures Overseas
Section 7: Export outside the EEA
Section 8: Contacting Us and Your Rights
Section 9: Cookies
Section 10: Changes to this Privacy Policy
2 Categories of Users
2.1 There are 3 categories of Users:
(a) Employers Representatives (i.e. representatives of organisations who engage
Xref to assist them with the hiring of Candidates, as well as managers of
organisations who are requested to verify their exit check information, referred
to in both cases as Employers);
(b) Candidates (i.e. those that we help coordinate application information and
references for potential new jobs with Employers); and
(c) Referees (i.e. those whom we contact at the request of a Candidate in
connection with the obtaining of a reference about the Candidate for an
Employer).
(d) Employees (i.e. in this case departing employees whom we contact at the
request of an Employer in order to complete an exit check about their time at
the organisation.
3 Purposes of Collection and Disclosure
3.1 In this section, we set out first the personal information we collect
relating to all Users which we are the data controller in respect of (i.e. which
Xref determines how to use within the scope of this Privacy Policy without
reference back to the Employer). We then set out the information we collect as a
data processor on behalf of the Employer who is the data controller of that
information (i.e. which we only hold and process as instructed by the Employer).
In relation to both categories we set out:
* The personal information we collect;
* How we collect the personal information; and
* The purposes for which we use and disclose personal information.
Please note that this does not describe the Employer’s use of personal
information which the Employer is responsible for providing its own privacy
notice or policy in respect of.
3.2 Under European Data Protection Law, we are required to identify the “legal
grounds” on which we rely to process the information and these are set out next
to each purpose for which we are a data controller. More information on legal
grounds can be found at Appendix A
3.3 Information we collect from all Users
(a) Personal information we collect
* Contact Information: including your name, email address, phone number and
other contact details
* Our correspondence: if you contact us, we will typically keep a record of
that correspondence
* Website and communication usage: details of your visits to the websites and
information collected through cookies and other tracking technologies
including, but not limited to, your IP address and domain name, your browser
version and operating system, traffic data, location data, web logs and other
communication data, and the resources that you access
(b) How we collect personal information
We collect this personal information from you directly.
(c) Purpose of use and disclosure
We process your personal information as a data controller for the following
purposes:
* To provide our services to carry out our obligations arising from any
agreements between you or the Employer and us, to respond to your queries and
otherwise communicate with you.
Legal bases: contract performance, legitimate interests (to enable us to perform
our obligations and provide our services to you)
* To improve our services to make our services more valuable or useful (e.g.
when you have provided us with feedback), including to make our websites
function correctly and undertake analytics (please see section 4 below).
Legal bases: consent, legitimate interest (to enable us to provide better
services and to provide anonymised aggregated insight to our clients)
* To inform you of changes to notify you about changes to our services.
Legal bases: legitimate interests (to notify you about changes to our services)
* To reorganise or make changes to our business in the event that we (i) are
subject to negotiations for the sale of our business or part thereof to a
third party; (ii) are sold to a third party; or (iii) undergo a
reorganisation, we may need to transfer some or all of your personal
information to the relevant third party (or its advisors) as part of any due
diligence process for the purpose of analysing any proposed sale or
re-organisation. We may also need to transfer your personal information to
that re-organised entity or third party after the sale or reorganisation for
them to use for the same purposes as set out in this policy.
Legal bases: legitimate interests (in order to allow us to change our business)
* To comply with legal or regulatory obligations we may process your personal
information to comply with our legal and regulatory requirements, which may
include disclosing your personal information to third parties, the court
service and/or regulators or law enforcement agencies in connection with
enquiries, proceedings or investigations by such parties anywhere in the
world or where compelled to do so. Where permitted, we will direct any such
request to you or notify you before responding unless to do so would
prejudice the prevention or detection of a crime.
Legal bases: legal obligations, legal claims, legitimate interests (to cooperate
with law enforcement and regulatory authorities)
* To third parties under our control to assist us with service delivery we may
disclose your personal information to our service providers, contractors,
agents, advisors (e.g. legal, financial, business or other advisors) and
other Xref group companies that perform activities on our behalf always
subject to suitable safeguards. Specifically, we may disclose contact
information of Candidates to third parties under our control where an
Employer has requested identity verification services.
Legal bases: legitimate interests (in order to use specialist service providers
and operate our business efficiently)
3.4 Employers Representatives
(a) Personal information we collect
In addition to the information set out in the All Users section above, where you
are a manager we may also collect your rehire recommendations about Employees,
as well as verifying their employment dates, skills and competencies.
(b) How we collect personal information
We collect personal information from you directly:
* when you provide verification information to us in response to a request from
an Employee:
We also collect personal information about you from your Employer who has asked
