This privacy statement applies whenever you submit your personal information to Waves Audio Ltd. as part of a job application.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protect the personal information that you share with us. When you apply for a job with us or any of our affiliates we need your personal information to consider whether you are a good fit for relevant positions and to further contact you if the application process continues. This policy statement describes how we collect and use your personal information when you submit a job application.
Information We Collect
Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, email address, a home, postal or other physical address, other contact information, title, birth date, gender, occupation, industry, personal interests, CV and other information you provide as part of a job application. In addition to the preliminary information you send us as part of the application, we may collect more information about you in personal interviews or through further communications to the extent applicable.
Information We Receive from Third Parties
Instead of directly submitting your job application or personal information to us, we provide you with the ability to send such information using tools offered by third parties such as LinkedIn (when you decide to provide your CV by linking to your profile) or other job application services we work with. Any information we receive from such third parties in the context of your job application is subject to this privacy statement and we will be the controllers with respect to such information. However, please note that by using such third party tools you may be required to review and consent to the privacy statements of such third parties and their use of your information will be subject to such privacy statements that we assume no liability for.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our collection and processing of personal information is based on our legitimate interest in seeking new employees and consider job application and our need to carry out the above processing of information, which is in anticipation of the possibility of entering into contractual engagements with you.
We may retain and process your personal information for future job openings in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Our processing of your personal information for this purpose is based on our legitimate interest in identifying suitable candidates for potential future positions. You have the right to object to this processing at any time by contacting us at privacy@waves.com. We will only retain your information for as long as necessary for this purpose, in line with our data retention policy and applicable laws.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Because we are a global company, your personal information may be shared with our other offices or affiliates around the world. All such entities are governed by this privacy statement or are bound by the appropriate confidentiality and data transfer agreements.
We may share your personal information with others under any of the following circumstances:
Other than as described above, any other transfer of your personal information to third parties will be subject to your consent.
For the above purposes, personal information may be transferred to recipients in countries around the world (which may be located outside the EU/EEA, European Economic Area) which in some cases may have a lower level of protection than that within the EU/EEA. When transferring personal data to countries outside the EU/EEA, to jurisdictions that did not receive an adequacy decision by the European Commission, we use standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission to ensure a sufficient level of protection for your personal information. The standard contractual clauses can be found via the following link: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/rules-international-data-transfers_en.
In addition to standard contractual clauses, we may rely on other safeguards for international data transfers. These may include transfers to countries recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection, or transfers based on approved binding corporate rules. Furthermore, we may utilize frameworks such as the Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework, which aims to ensure robust data protection standards for transfers between the EU and the U.S. We continuously monitor changes in data protection regulations and adapt our data transfer mechanisms accordingly to ensure compliance with applicable laws and to maintain the highest standards of data protection for your personal information.
Data Retention
We store the personal information as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which the data has been collected. This means that we delete your personal information when such information is no longer necessary. For example, if you applied only to one job opening, we will delete your personal information within reasonable time after the application process end to the extent that you were not hired to work with us. If you applied for job openings generally, or if you agreed that we contact you for future openings, we will retain your personal information for longer periods in order to send you future information on job openings and consider you for further positions. Statistics which have been anonymised may be saved thereafter.
Data Subject Rights
You may at any time request the rectification or erasure of your personal information. Please note however that deletion could mean that we cannot process your job applications. You have the right to request a copy of your personal information from our record. You have the right to request a limitation of the use of your personal information (for example if you deem the information to be incorrect) or the termination of use of your personal information.
Data Security
We safeguard the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures, taking into consideration the state of the art technology, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of processing your personal information. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit to us, and so we urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may amend this policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information we will make that information available by posting a notice on this site.
Privacy Inquiries
We are responsible for the processing of your personal information, and requests to exercise your rights as stated above shall be addressed to privacy@waves.com.
If you are a resident of the EU/EEA, and have a complaint regarding the processing of your personal information by us, you are entitled to report such dissatisfaction to the applicable supervisory authority in your country of residence.
