- To understand aggregate patterns of usage of a Site and our services.
- To store Personal Information.

We only provide these third parties with the minimum amount of Personal Information necessary to provide their services.

We attempt to notify you about legal requests for your Personal Information when appropriate in our judgement, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are excessively broad, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.

VI. How We Protect Your Information
We are fully committed to protecting the Personal Information we collect, and that you share with us, both online and offline. Specifically, we aim to prevent unauthorised access to your Personal Information, to maintain data accuracy and to ensure the correct use of information. We take commercially reasonable and appropriate technical, organisational and administrative precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your Personal Information. For example, all electronic information is stored on secured servers, and hard copy Personal Information is stored in physically secured locations. To secure your data, we may take precautions such as physical access controls, password protection, two-factor identification for remote access, encryption, firewalls and anonymisation or pseudonymisation of data. Deletion of data includes shredding, physical destruction of media and use of data wiping technology.
Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is not secure, please notify us immediately by contacting our customer care department as described in the “How to Contact Us” section below.
We retain your Personal Information for as long as required under applicable law. Periodically, we will evaluate the age of stored Personal Information and delete data that is older than is deemed necessary in accordance with applicable law. Our data retention periods are based on the requirements of applicable data protection laws and the purpose for which the Personal Information is collected and used, taking into account legal and regulatory requirements to retain the information for a minimum period, limitation periods for taking legal action in the different jurisdictions in which we are active, good practice and our business purposes.
VII. Your Rights and Choices
You may have certain rights relating to your Personal Information that are subject to local data protection law. Whenever you use our Sites, we aim to provide you with choices about how we use your Personal Information. We also aim to provide you with access to your Personal Information. If that information is wrong, we strive to give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it – unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. Subject to applicable law, you may obtain a copy of Personal Information we maintain about you, or you may update or correct inaccuracies in that information by contacting us. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to the information. In addition, if you believe that Personal Information we maintain about you is inaccurate, subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request that we correct or amend the information by contacting us as indicated in the “How to Contact Us” section below.
The rights that you may enforce as described in this section may vary depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside. Please review the Privacy Policy Supplement for European Union, United Kingdom, California and Hong Kong Residents for more information on your rights and how to exercise your rights. Certain information contained in our Legility Privacy Notice for California Residents, where indicated, applies solely to all visitors, users and members identified as consumers under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA). We adopt this CCPA notice to make you aware of our obligations and your rights under the CCPA.
VIII. Cross Border Data Transfers
Legility is a global company with its headquarters located in the United States. In order to process your application, we may need to transfer your personal information to locations outside of your home jurisdiction, including outside the European Economic Area (EEA), and in countries that are not subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission and that may not provide for the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction.
We will, subject to applicable law, rely upon legally permitted data transfer mechanisms in order to transfer, process and store your Personal Information in a jurisdiction outside of your home jurisdiction. We ensure that the recipient of your Personal Information offers an adequate level of data protection and security. For instance, for transfers of Personal Information originating from the EU, we may rely on adequacy decisions of the European Commission where available, on standard data protection clauses, intra-company data protection agreements entered into among our affiliates, or derogations for specific situations as set forth in Articles 46 and 49 of the GDPR, such as your explicit consent to such transfer; to perform a contract with you; or to fulfil a compelling legitimate interest of the Company in a manner that does not override your rights and freedoms.
IX. Data Controllers
The controller of your Personal Information in relation to your application and our recruitment processes will be the Legility entity to which you apply. Please see the “Contact Us” section below for a list of Legility entities. In some circumstances, another Legility entity may also be a controller of your personal information.
X. Policy Changes
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time based on our need to accurately reflect our data collection and disclosure practices. All changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when posted. Your continued use of the Sites following the posting of changes to this Privacy Policy on our website will mean that you accept these changes.
In the event of any material changes to our collection, use, retention or disclosure of Personal Information, we will notify users of our site of the change and obtain their consent to the updated Privacy Policy.
