International Security Consulting Group Privacy Policy
Adopted March 31, 2019
International Security Consulting Group (hereinafter the “Company”) values the trust and loyalty of our clients and associates, as well as the privacy of individuals undergoing background checks and/or investigations. This Privacy Policy is designed to meet both the business needs of the Company and the security and protection of Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”). This policy provides information of how the Company will protect and manage PII. The Company makes every reasonable effort to ensure that PII is secure for its intended use. The Company is not responsible for updating and checking the accuracy of the information provided.
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. THIS DOCUMENT IS LEGALLY BINDING AND IMPACTS YOUR RIGHTS.
The Kind of PII Collected
In the course of the Company’s operations, types of PII may be collected include, but are not limited to:
1. Personal characteristics such as gender and place of birth;
2. Contact information such as name, address, phone/mobile number, email address;
3. Prior professional and academic data such as résumé, CV, education and work history;
4. Current professional data;
5. Various personality or performance reports;
6. Other information gathered from voluntary participation in programs and/or services.
How PII Is Used
The Company may use collected PII for legitimate business purposes, including, but not limited to reporting and investigative consulting services provided by the Company, including processing of the PII by a third-party vendor for legitimate business purposes.
How Is PII Shared
It is presumed that consent is given to the Company for legitimate programs/services rendered at the time of any voluntary disclosure of PII.
The Company will only share PII with those who have a legitimate business interest to know. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be compelled to disclose PII for law enforcement purposes (see below).
The Company may share information with any third-party vendors (“Third Parties”) who perform the Company’s business operations on our behalf. The Company requires that Third Parties provide equivalent levels of protection as applied by the Company when handling PII. When necessary, the Company will contractually require data processors solely in accordance with our instructions and to use appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security methods to protect such data. Third Parties may not otherwise use or disclose the information, except as authorized by the Company, and/or to comply with legal requirements.
Consistent with the Company’s legitimate business interest, informed consent, the Company’s legal obligations, and/or to comply with the Company’s contractual obligations, the Company will inform affected client/customers about PII that has been collected and how it will be used.
Mandatory/Permissive Disclosures
We may also disclose PII to respond to required legal processes; to enforce or protect the rights and policies of the Company; or to assist in the investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity. We may also share PII in the context of a business transaction involving part or all of the Company’s business operations, such as a merger or acquisition. Following such a business transaction, you may contact the entity to which we transferred your PII with any inquiries concerning the use of that information.
Privacy Rights
Subject of an investigative inquiry may have the right to contact the Company and/or its Client and request to access the PII obtained about the subject; or may request that inaccurate, outdated or no longer necessary information be corrected, erased or restricted. The Company will make good faith effort to comply where required by applicable law(s). Where the processing of PII is based on consent, the subject of investigation may have the right to withdraw such consent.
Certain types of data are more sensitive than others. Certain information may be labelled as “Sensitive Personal Information” or “SPI” to comply with a specific country/region’s laws. The Company defines SPI as any information relating to an identifiable person that includes or implies race, ethnicity, political views, religion, health, sexual orientation, genetic or biometric data, and information about criminal convictions and offenses. The only permitted use of SPI is Company-related as required for business purposes (i.e., providing a Client with the Information and compiling end products under the Company’s Agreement with the Client). Given the above, the Company will only process SPI at the Client’s request documented in writing.
Client Responsibilities
Any offering and use of PII shall observe and comply with all applicable laws, privacy legislation and any other legal requirements. Client is also responsible to provide accurate and truthful information; the Company is not obligated to update or correct any mistakes unless the Client specifically request such action be taken with good cause stated in writing and additional consideration are agreed by Company.
Records and Safeguards
The Company keeps PII for as long as necessary to fulfill business-related purposes, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law. In some cases, we may need to retain PII for a period after the termination of Client’s relationship with the Company in order to comply with legal or contractual obligations.
The Company has implemented appropriate basic physical, administrative and technical measures, such as access controls, designed to protect PII against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure, access or use, and all other unlawful forms of processing. For more information, please seen our Security Policy below.
Where applicable, the Company has implemented the following in an effort to comply with the most recent European Union data privacy regulations:
1. pseudonymization and encryption of PII;
2. ongoing scanning and monitoring of confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of cloud and in-office processing systems and services;
3. backups of PII in the event of a physical or technical incident; and
4. regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.
Modifications of This Privacy Policy
The Company reserves the right to modify this Policy as needed, for example, to comply with changes in laws, regulations, Company practices and procedures, or to respond to new threats or new requirements imposed by data protection authorities. Where such changes materially affect our processing of PII, we will notify our clients accordingly.
Breach and Notification(s)
Where there is a breach of any PII, the Company will make its best effort to notify the affected party/parties, any business associates, regulatory agencies, or any other required entity without undue delay in order to carry out data protection impact assessments as well as any necessary mitigating measures.
