How will we share your data?

Where applicable, we share information about you with:

• Companies in the Connect Managed Holdings Group

• Credit reference, fraud-prevention or business-scoring agencies, or other credit scoring agencies

We may share this information with our HR consultant and other third parties for referencing and vetting and we, or they, may contact any references which you provide to us.

Because Conn3ct is a global company (including offices in the United States and India), your personal information may be shared with other Conn3ct offices, subsidiaries and subcontractors around the world. All such entities are governed by contract which incorporate the protections granted by any applicable data protection regulations. The transfer of your data to any countries outside of the European Economic Area shall only be where an adequacy decision has been issued by the European Commission, under the model clauses approved by the European Commission or, in the case of an affiliate of Conn3ct, under binding corporate rules.

Third parties that we work with

Where you’ve purchased our services using a third party or partner organisation, we often need to exchange information with them as part of managing that relationship and your account – for example, to be able to identify your order and be able to pay them.

If we have a contract with a service provider or contractor to provide us with services or provide a service on our behalf, and they may have access to your personal information, we don’t authorise them to use or disclose your personal information except in connection with providing their services.

How do we store your data?

We have established and maintain a certified information security management system in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001:2013. We securely store your data in data centres using technical and organisational security measures to protect your information from access by unauthorised persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage.

Our security measures include: 

• Encryption of data where appropriate
• Regular penetration testing of systems
• Security controls which protect the entire Company infrastructure from external attack and unauthorised access
• Regular scenario planning and crisis management exercises to ensure we are ready to respond to cyber security attacks and data security incidents
• Internal policies setting out our data security approach
• Training for employees on security and privacy

Conn3ct will keep your data only for the time strictly necessary to provide contracted services and/or based on the reasons that we process your personal data.  Once this time period has expired, the data will be destroyed.

For example:

• We keep your job application information for one year or for the duration of your employment contract.
• We keep your business contact information for seven years after the date of contract termination, unless otherwise agreed in the signed contract.
