Company’s legal bases to use and process Candidate Data include that the processing is necessary for: 

  • the Company’s legitimate interests, including those described above, as processing Candidate Data is necessary to carry out the hiring process and to make it possible for Job Applicants and Successful Candidates to apply for and / or be appointed to a position at the Company);
  • compliance with Company’s legal obligations, such as accounting and tax requirements;

  • where applicable, Job Applicants or Successful Candidates, may subsequently withdraw at any time by contacting us via the information in the “Contact Information” section, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before its withdrawal.  

As necessary, and in connection with these purposes, authorized processors, including, but not limited to, members of the Human Resources department, the Finance department, the IT department, Compliance and Ethics department, and senior executive Company managers may access and otherwise process Candidate Data in connection with their job responsibilities.  

Some of these processors may be employed by the Company at our various global locations outside of Brazil, including in countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as the home country of the Job Applicant and Successful Candidate. The Company takes appropriate steps to ensure that such personnel are bound to duties of confidentiality with respect to Candidate Data, and the Company implements measures such as data protection clauses to ensure that any transferred Candidate Data remains protected and secure. The use and transfer of Candidate Data are only for the purposes outlined in this policy and in accordance with applicable law.

 

USE OF CANDIDATE DATA FOR BACKGROUND CHECKS AND WHO WE COLLECT DATA FROM

Offers of employment with the Company, where permitted by local law, may be subject to and conditional upon the completion of certain background checks, including searches of the following databases:

  • databases relating to organized crimes which are obtained through public source databases managed by regulatory and compliance authorities, web and media databases, and global sanctions and watch lists managed by financial regulatory bodies and law enforcement agencies;
  • standard sanctions databases (UN, EU, U.S. lists, etc.) in compliance with economic sanctions laws throughout the world; and
  • for Employees who may work on government programs, including, but not limited to United States Federal or State government programs, United States Federal and/or State debarment or exclusion lists or other such lists required by law or contract. 

Candidate Data provided by the Successful Candidate following an offer of employment may be used to facilitate the conduct of Background Checks.  No Background Checks will be undertaken prior to an offer of employment being made.  

Successful Candidates may be requested to provide information related to their family members who hold government positions in order for the Company to assess potential conflicts of interest.  When providing this information, it is the responsibility of the Successful Candidate to obtain the family member’s permission to disclose such information to the Company.

Due to the nature of the Company's business, it will carry out regular and ongoing screenings of the databases listed above during the course of employment to ensure that the Successful Candidate remains suitable for a position with the Company and are permitted to provide services to all of the Company's clients and in particular to organisations who prohibit excluded or debarred individuals from working on their account.     

Conduct of the Background Checks may involve the collection of additional information about the Successful Candidate from educational institutions, government agencies, previous employers, information in the public domain and law enforcement agencies at the international, national or local level so far as obtained through public source databases.  If a Successful Candidate's prior employers and/or other referees are contacted, the report may include this information.

When Company retains a third-party vendor, that vendor will be carefully selected and required to use appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality and security of personal data.
