Some Bemana sites may require you to provide personal information, such as when you create a profile and login credentials. Instead of having to type in your personal information, some of these functionalities may allow you to use third-party authentication tools such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google to populate certain fields. By authenticating through one of the social media options, you allow us to receive your personal and other information that is accessible through these tools. This information may be incorporated into your profile. For any such tool you choose to use, we encourage you to also review the tool provider’s privacy policy and any terms and conditions.
We may use personal information to permit you to participate in live social media feeds. If you choose to participate, your public username may be displayed on the sites along with your post, including, but not limited to, comments, images, and video.
We may provide you with access to third-party functionality that allows you to post content to your social media account(s). Any information that you provide through use of this functionality is governed by the applicable third party’s privacy policy, and not by this Privacy Statement.
How We Use the Information
Bemana will use the information it collects in order to recruit, assess, and match candidates with potential positions or assignments, offer candidates placement at its customers, refer for employment to a customer, respond to inquiries, or perform other tasks that are necessary when acting as an employer or potential employer. For example, these activities may include providing human resource services, processing and administering payments and payroll, administering benefits, providing counseling, training, or discipline, complying with health, safety, and internal policies, corporate management, career Page 3 of 6 Revised: April 2017 and performance monitoring, and employment contract administration. In addition, information may be used for other legal purposes, such as audit, security, fraud prevention, or preserving and defending Bemana’s legal rights.

Bemana will retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to provide you with the services requested, except where retention of personal information is necessary for compliance with a law, regulation, or other legal authority, or is otherwise permitted to be maintained for other legal purposes, such as audit, security, fraud prevention, or preserving and defending Bemana’s legal rights.
Where Your Information May Be Shared
Bemana holds its employees, agents, and suppliers accountable for maintaining the trust that you place in us with your personal information. Your information will not be used or shared except as described within this Privacy Statement.
In order to efficiently manage your recruitment, placement, and employment, your information may be shared with other Bemana entities, or with third party service providers that may be engaged to assist in managing the processes required to provide these services. Any engagement of a third party service provider will be governed by appropriate contractual requirements prohibiting the use of your information for any purposes beyond those specifically directed by Bemana, and requiring that they ensure sufficient administrative and technical security mechanisms are in place to prevent your information from being improperly used, disclosed, or accessed.
As is necessary for the performance of employment and outsourcing services for you, as part of the recruitment, placement, and employment process, Bemana may share your personal information with customers for potential placement or employment opportunities with those customers who are seeking employees that match your qualifications and profile, or to the company to which you have been assigned to work, in order to integrate with their application and employment processes, and only for recruitment, placement, and employment purposes.
As a result of the global scope of Bemana’s operations, the sharing of your information with other Bemana entities, service providers, and customers may result in your data being sent to countries outside of your country of residence, which may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country of residence. Regardless of the source or destination location of your information, Bemana will at all times protect your information as described in this Privacy Statement, and abide by all applicable data protection laws. Bemana remains responsible for information that we share with third parties for processing on our behalf.
Finally, your information may be shared with relevant government entities if Bemana is required to do so by law or legal process, or is lawfully requested to do so by law enforcement authorities or other government officials.
Cookies and Web Beacons
Many Bemana websites use “cookies” to help personalize the online experience. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer or mobile device tied to information about that user. They also allow us to identify those devices when they return to a site, in order to provide you with a more seamless experience, facilitating your use of Bemana’s websites, and/or to aid Bemana in improving the user experience. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the option of whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, areas of some sites may not function properly. Bemana uses both session ID and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie simply expires once the user closes the browser. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard drive for an extended period of time. These can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
To help us provide better service, we sometimes collect anonymous information from visits to our sites through the use of “web beacons.” These do not access your personal information, but rather allow Bemana to log users who have visited our websites. This anonymous information is sometimes known as “clickstream data.” Bemana or its vendors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics to help us provide better customer service. If you do not want your transaction details used in this manner, see the paragraph above on cookies.
We allow third-party companies, including AddThis, to collect certain anonymous information when you visit our websites. These companies may use non-personally identifiable information during your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. These companies typically use a cookie or a third party web beacon to collect this information.

Your Rights and Choices
The amount of personal information you are required to supply when requesting our services will be limited to that which is relevant to supply such services. We may periodically use your contact information to send you updates via e-mail in order to alert you to promotional opportunities or services relevant to your interactions with Bemana, such as jobs in our database that match your selected criteria. Each notification will provide instructions on how to opt out of receiving similar e-mails from the registered service or resource. At the point where we request personal information about you, our site also gives you the opportunity to decide which communications you wish to receive. The database is automatically updated with your preferences when you opt out. When your interactions with Bemana have resulted in your registration for multiple services or resources it may be necessary to opt out from each service separately.
Additionally, you have the right to request access to, withdraw your consent to the use and processing of, and request the correction of inaccuracies or erasure of your information that Bemana maintains about you, subject to Bemana’s obligations to maintain your information under applicable laws. Bemana may limit or deny requests for access or charge reasonable fees for access, except as prohibited by applicable law.
Because such information is necessary to the performance of recruitment, placement, and employment services that Bemana provides to you, any request to withdraw consent for processing, or request erasure of your information may result in Bemana being unable to continue providing its services such as recruitment, placement, or employment.
Protecting Your Information
Bemana takes care to secure your personal information. We regularly monitor industry standards for securing information, and review our physical, technical, and organizational security practices in order to determine how best to prevent the loss, misuse, alteration, unauthorized access, destruction, or disclosure of your personal information.
