About our Privacy Policy.
We respect your right to privacy and take seriously our responsibilities in relation to the processing of personal data. We do not collect or process personal data unnecessarily.

Controller and Processor.
Under this Policy, and unless we have entered into a different arrangement with you, we are both what’s known under the GDPR as the “controller” of the personal data you provide to us and the “processor” of personal data. We are a “controller” as we control personal data provided to us by our employees, clients and candidates and we decide on the purpose and means of processing this personal data.
Where we process personal data on behalf of our Global Alliances and Partnerships in relation to any particular referrals and/or assignments, we do so as a processor.

This means that the period of time for which we store your personal data may depend on the type of data we hold. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. This may vary according to legal requirements or other regulatory requirements in a particular country.

We will disclose your personal information to third party recipients:
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Personal Data may be shared and/or transferred to our trusted partners and service providers who maintain their servers outside of the EEA, where the privacy and data protection laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. This may include our Franchisees, Global Alliances and Partnerships. This is only for the purposes of providing, and to the extent necessary to provide, the Services to you. There are special requirements set out under Chapter V of the GDPR (with which we would comply) to regulate such data transfers and ensure that adequate security measures are in place to safeguard and maintain the integrity of your personal data on transfer.
For more information about this and the safeguards in place relating to the transfer, please contact us by email at dataprotection@SpenglerFox.com.
SECURITY MEASURES
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND YOUR RIGHTS
Accessing your Personal Data.
You may request access at any time to a copy of the personal data we hold about you. Any such request should be submitted to us in writing and sent to dataprotection@SpenglerFox.com. We will need to verify your identity in such circumstances and may request more information or clarifications from you if needed to help us locate and provide you with the personal data requested.
There is usually no charge applied to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Right of Restriction.
You may restrict us from processing your personal data in any of the following circumstances:
Corrections or Erasure (Right to Rectification and Right to Be Forgotten).
If we hold personal data concerning you which are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or if you withdraw consent for us to process your personal data, you can request the deletion of this personal data. This right, however, will not apply where we are required to process personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation or where the processing of this information is carried out for reasons of public interest in the area of public health. If the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, you may request to have your personal information updated and corrected. To do so at any time, please contact us by email at dataprotection@SpenglerFox.com.
Your Right to Object.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time:
To exercise your right to object at any time, please email dataprotection@SpenglerFox.com.
Should you object, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes unless doing so is justified by a compelling legitimate ground as described above. For more information about our marketing practices, please see the Marketing Communications section below.
Data Portability.
Where we process your personal data by automated means (i.e., not on paper) and this processing is based on your consent or required for the performance of a contract between us, you have the right to request from us a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, to request that we transmit your personal data in this format to another controller.
Profiling.
Profiling is an automated form of processing of personal data often used to analyse or predict personal aspects about an individual person. This could relate to a person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, reliability, behaviour, location or movements. An example of this would be where a bank uses an automated credit scoring system to assess and reject a loan application.
You have the right to be informed if your personal data will be subject to automated decision making, including profiling. You also have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated process, including profiling, where that decision impacts on your legal rights. There are some exceptions to this rule, where, for example, the decision is necessary in connection with the performance of a contract between us, is authorised by law or where you have given your explicit consent to this automated processing. In this case, however, we do not engage in profiling or automated processing for profiling purposes.
Personal Rights
The rights described in this section are personal rights and are exercisable only by the individual person (or data subject) concerned.
MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
General.
From time to time, we will use your data to send marketing communications to you about promotions, competitions, updates and new products or services that may be of interest to you. As mentioned above, and unless otherwise indicated, when we send marketing communications to you we rely on our legitimate interests to keep our site and Services updated and relevant and to develop and grow our business. If you subscribe to receive job alerts or updates from us or any other social media platform of which we have an account, we may send them to you from time to time about job opportunities that may be of interest to you. You can opt out of receiving such communications from us at any time by contacting us at dataprotection@SpenglerFox.com.
Your right to object to marketing.
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for our marketing purposes. To do so at any time, please contact us at dataprotection@SpenglerFox.com. You may also opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by selecting the unsubscribe option when you receive an electronic marketing communication from us.

That said, we, our employees, agents, holding company and subsidiaries, accept no liability howsoever arising for the content or reliability of any third party materials or websites referenced by hyperlink or other means on the Site or for the data collection and use practices or security measures used by such third parties.
