PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY

Throughout the application process with Vyaire, we collect personal data from you in a variety of ways. Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, and includes the term "Personal Information" under the California Privacy Rights Act. You are not obliged to provide us with personal data. However, if you decline to provide information when requested, and this information is necessary for us to consider your application (such as evidence of qualifications or work history), we will not be able to process your application successfully. For example, if we require a credit check for this role and you fail to provide us with relevant details, we will not be able to take your application further.

Specifically, we collect your personal data when you:

  • Complete an application. When you apply for a position at Vyaire, we collect from you or the recruiting agency through which you applied, your personal identifiers (name, email address, telephone number, and physical address), your professional or employment information (resume/CV, cover letter, certifications or licenses, qualifications, employment history), and any other information you choose to include with your application. We use this information to review your background and skills, to determine your qualifications for the role you are applying to, communicate with you about your application and candidacy, and to confirm information related to your employment and education. The legal basis for this processing is that it is necessary to perform a contract or to take steps at your request, before entering a contract. For equal employment purposes, you also have the option (when it is clearly and specifically requested) to provide us with your protected classifications (gender, age, veteran status, disabilities) and sensitive protected classifications (race, ethnicity). We use this protected classification and sensitive protected classification information for government reporting purposes, to comply with legal requirements, to analyze requested disability accommodations as applicable, and to document any accommodations we have provided to accommodate your needs. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in the more efficient management of our application process or, where applicable, to comply with our legal obligations or our legitimate interest in compliance with non-EU legal obligations that apply to Vyaire. The processing condition for the processing of this sensitive information is, depending on the laws of the relevant member state, the safeguarding of your rights (Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR) or assessing your work capacity as an employee (Art. 9(2)(h) GDPR). We use also use this information, in the aggregate, to conduct internal analytics and benchmarking. We share this information with our third party applicant tracking system to organize our applications and assist with assessing your application.

  • Information from references. When you provide references with your application, we will obtain from your references, your professional or employment information (work skills), and will draw inferences from your references, such as their thoughts on how your skills might enable you to succeed in the position you have applied for. We use this personal data to assess your suitability for the position for which you have applied. The legal basis for this processing is that it is necessary to perform a contract or to take steps at your request, before entering a contract.

  • Verify your education. When you first join Vyaire and throughout your tenure with us, we collect from you as well as from background check providers, and education institutions, your non-public education information (verification of education level completed, verification of dates enrolled in educational institutions, certifications obtained, report cards, transcripts). We use this information to verify your education for employment purposes. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in verifying applicants’ qualifications for positions at Vyaire.

  • Conduct a background check. When a background check is requested as part of the candidate review process, we will collect, from you, your personal identifiers (name, date of birth, and physical address) and sensitive identifiers (Social Security number or other government-issue I.D. numbers). We share this information with a background check provider in order to conduct a background check and Office of Inspector General exclusion check to verify your identity, credentials, and criminal history, and to facilitate the background check. The legal basis for this processing is that it is necessary to perform a contract with you. The processing condition for the processing of this sensitive information is to assess your work capacity as an employee (Art. 9(2)(h) GDPR). For positions where a pre-employment drug test is required, we share your personal identifiers (name, date of birth, email address, telephone number, physical address) with a third-party drug screening provider to facilitate and arrange the screening. We will subsequently collect your health information (drug test results) from this provider. We use this sensitive information to confirm you adhere to Vyaire’s drug policy. The legal basis for this processing is that it is necessary to perform a contract or, if applicable, to comply with legal our obligations. The processing condition for the processing of this sensitive information is to assess your work capacity as an employee (Art. 9(2)(h) GDPR).

To the extent these laws apply to our processing of your personal data, you are entitled to the following rights:

  • Right to access: You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal data, regardless of the legal basis for the processing.

  • Right to rectification: You have the right to ask us to rectify personal data you think is inaccurate or incomplete, regardless of the legal basis for the processing.

INFORMATION SECURITY

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures, such as access controls and encryption and 24-7 threat monitoring, to protect the personal data that we collect and maintain from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. However, no security measure or modality of data transmission is 100% secure, and we are unable to guarantee the absolute security of the personal data we have collected from you.

RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We process your personal data for as long as our processing purposes, the legal retention periods, and our legitimate interests in documentation and keeping evidence or when storage is a technical requirement. If there are no contrary legal or contractual obligations, we will delete your information after the applicable retention period. However, if you are hired, your information will become part of your personnel file and subject to our Employee Privacy Notice, available on the company’s intranet. We may need to use and retain your personal data for longer than these reasons for purposes of:

  • Compliance with our legal obligations. For example, retaining your employee records (if hired) the purpose of accounting, dispute resolution and compliance with labor, tax and other financial regulations.

  • Meeting our safety and security commitments. For example, keeping our properties secure and preventing fraud.

  • Exercising or defending legal claims. We also may need to retain information for longer than the above periods in order to meet with legal process or enforceable governmental request, or to enforce our Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

As part of the recruitment process, Vyaire may transfer your personal data to recipients in countries outside of the European Economic Area, British Isles, or the UK that may have differing data protection laws (e.g., United States, India, China, and Brazil). The European Commission has ruled that Jersey, Guernsey, and Canada offer adequate levels of data protection in their domestic legislation and transfers to these jurisdictions are, therefore, permitted under applicable law. However, this also includes countries which the EU Commission, British Isles, and UK does not consider to have an adequate level of protection for personal data. If this occurs, we will ensure there is a legal ground for the transfer in accordance with applicable data protection legislation. You will also be informed about the legal ground, what safeguards were implemented, and where you can obtain a copy of information on these safeguards. Within Vyaire, its subsidiaries, and affiliates, we have also put in place an intercompany agreement which contains the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission to ensure that all transfers of Personal Data to any member of the Vyaire group are protected to the same level as required under European data protection legislation.
