RECRUITMENT PRIVACY NOTICE

This Notice lets you know how WunderLand Group collects and uses your personal information when you apply (both online and offline) for a position with WunderLand Group.

The data controller

The “data controller” of the personal information collected and processed about you is WunderLand Group, who is responsible for deciding how and why your personal information is used and ensuring that your personal information is handled lawfully.

WunderLand Group, and its affiliate, Advanced Personnel, Inc. (“Advanced Personnel”), each of which is based in the USA, are responsible for managing recruitment activities. This means that, wherever you are based, the US Affiliates will process your personal information in the USA. WunderLand Group will remain the data controller and Advanced Personnel will act as data processor on behalf of the data controller.

WunderLand Group may engage another affiliate, Advanced RPO LLC, to help manage the recruitment process. Advanced RPO is also based in the USA and acts as a data processor on behalf of WunderLand Group.

WunderLand Group may use the services of an “employer of record” agency (the “Agency”) to hire employees and other workers. If this is the case, and you are successful in your application for a position, your contract will be with the Agency. The Agency will therefore also be a data controller of the data the Agency holds to administer your employment.

Where we use the terms “we” in this policy, we mean WunderLand Group and/or Advanced Personnel acting as a data processor on behalf of WunderLand Group.

Collecting Personal Information.

You may provide personal information directly to WunderLand Group. We ask for certain data, including educational and employment background, contact information and preferences,jobqualifications,andjobsforwhichyou would like to submit an application. You also may choose to provide WunderLand Group additional information, such asyourCV,resume,transcripts,employmentreferencesandrelatedinformation,andcompensationrequests.

In addition, WunderLand Group may collect information from third parties. For example, we may ask previous employers for a reference and, if we conduct background checks, we will receive data from third parties in connection with those background checks. We might also obtain information about you from LinkedIn if we have used LinkedIn to search for appropriate candidates or if we have connected with you or viewed your profile on LinkedIn, or if you apply for a position via LinkedIn.

WunderLand Group's web sites, including our recruitment systems, may use cookies and other electronic communication protocols. For further information, please consult the WunderLand Group Privacy Policy at www.wunderlandgroup.com/privacy-policy/

Sensitive Personal Information.

WunderLand Group does not request or require sensitive personal information concerning religion, health, sexual orientation, or political affiliation in connection with recruiting. We collect and process other sensitive personal data in the following circumstances:

If you have a disability and would like WunderLand Group to consider any accommodation, you may provide that information (health data) during the recruiting process.
In some countries we ask for information such as race or ethnicity for the purpose of monitoring equal opportunity; however, we do not require applicants to provide race or ethnicity information, and if you provide this information it will not be viewable in the hiring or selection

Voluntary Disclosure.

Your provision of personal information in connection with recruiting is voluntary, and you determine the extent of information you provide to WunderLand Group. For applicants outside of the United States, if you decide not to provide information, it may affect our ability to consider you for employment.
