(A)   This Policy

 

This Policy is provided by 83ZERO (“83ZERO”, “we” or “us”), and is addressed to individuals outside our organisation with whom we interact, including (but not limited to) Clients,  Candidates, Participants, Sources and visitors to our websites (together, “you”). Defined terms used in this Policy are explained further in Section (O) below.

For the purposes of this Policy, 83ZERO is the Controller. Contact details are provided in Section (M) below.

Please note that this Policy does not apply to the Processing by 83ZERO of the Personal Information of 83ZERO employees, temporary workers or other staff in connection with the roles they perform for 83ZERO. A separate privacy internal policy governs such Processing.

This Policy may be amended or updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices with respect to the Processing of Personal Information, or changes in applicable law. We encourage you to read this Policy carefully, and to regularly check this page to review any changes we might make in accordance with the terms of this Policy. We will notify you of any significant changes.

 

(B)   Processing your Personal Information

Collection of Personal Information: We may collect Personal Information about you, such as your name, address and contact details. Examples of sources from which we may collect Personal Information include the following:

• We may obtain your Personal Information when you provide it to us (e.g., where you contact us via email or telephone, or by any other means).
• We may collect your Personal Information in the ordinary course of our relationship with you (e.g., if we offer to connect you with our Clients we may collect your Personal Information that are related to such Client opportunities, such as your résumé).
• We may collect Personal Information that you manifestly choose to make public, including via social media (e.g., we may collect information from your social media profile(s), to the extent that you choose to make your profile publicly visible).
• We may receive your Personal Information from third parties who provide it to us (e.g., past employers; referees; and law enforcement agencies).
• We may, with your prior express written consent, conduct background checks, in accordance with the protections provided by applicable law.
• We may collect or obtain Personal Information when you visit any 83ZERO website (the “Site”) or use any features or resources available on or through a Site. When you visit a Site, your device and browser will automatically disclose certain information (such as device type, operating system, browser type, browser settings, IP address, language settings, dates and times of connecting to a Site and other technical communications information), some of which may constitute Personal Information.

Creation of Personal Information:  We may also create Personal Information about you, such as records of any interviews you attend. We collect, process and store information when you send, receive, or engage with messages in connection with our Services. This includes information such as the number of messages you’ve sent and received, details of who you’ve chatted with and when and which messages were responded to ("Message Data").  This Personal Information helps us to conduct our operations and manage our workforce.

We also may use automatic scanning technology on messages to allow us to recognize patterns on our messaging platform. These patterns may help us make your professional communications more efficient and informed and contribute to a safer and more secure job search experience. For example, our software may do the following:

• Look for text that indicates a web link (e.g. ends with ".com" or similar) to generate a clickable link
• Provide auto-complete options when it anticipates who the receiver of the message may be
• Look for content to provide quick actions such as a scheduling tool
• Look for content to provide quick replies based on context
• Check links shared in messages for malicious sites and looks for blacklisted keywords to detect spam and fraud.

Personal Information you provide about others: In some circumstances, you may provide us with Personal Information about others. For example, you might act as a Source and provide comments on a Candidate or Participant. Whenever you provide any such Personal Information, we rely on you to ensure that you have a lawful basis for providing such Personal Information to us, and that you have complied with applicable law and with the terms of this Policy.

(D)   International transfer of Personal Information

Countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) do not always offer the same levels of protection to your Personal Information, so European law has prohibited transfers of Personal Information outside of the EEA unless the transfer meets certain criteria.

Whenever we transfer your Personal Information out of the EEA, we do our best to ensure a similar degree of security of data by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

We will only transfer your Personal Information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Information by the European Commission; or

Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission which give Personal Information the same protection it has in Europe; or

Where we share information with clients based in the United States, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to Personal Information shared between the Europe and the US.

If none of the above safeguards is available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer.

Please email us at info@83zero.com  if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Information out of the EEA.

 

(E)   Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your Personal Information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, unauthorised access, and other unlawful or unauthorised forms of Processing, in accordance with applicable law.

You are responsible for ensuring that any Personal Information that you send to us is sent securely.

Your Personal Information that we Process will be kept accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. We take every reasonable step to ensure that:

• your Personal Information that we Process are accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; and

From time to time we may ask you to confirm the accuracy of your Personal Information.

7. 83zero Limited recognised the Modern Slavery 2015 and as a business guarantees full commitment and support to this legislation. More information can be found here http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/30/contents/enacted

Our Commitment

• To create an environment in which individual differences and the contributions of all our staff are recognised and valued.
• Every employee is entitled to a working environment that promotes dignity and respect to all. No form of intimidation, bullying or harassment will be tolerated.
• Training, development and progression opportunities are available to all staff.
• To promote equality in the workplace which we believe is good management practice and makes sound business sense.
• We will review all our employment practices and procedures to ensure fairness.
• Breaches of our equality policy will be regarded as misconduct and could lead to disciplinary proceedings.
• This policy is fully supported by senior management and has been agreed with trade unions and/or employee representatives.
• The policy will be monitored and reviewed annually

Responsibilities of Management

Responsibility for ensuring the effective implementation and operation of the arrangements will rest with the Chief Executive. Directors / Managers will ensure that they and their staff operate within this policy and arrangements, and that all reasonable and practical steps are taken to avoid discrimination. Each manager will ensure that:

• all their staff are aware of the policy and the arrangements, and the reasons for the policy;
• grievances concerning discrimination are dealt with properly, fairly and as quickly as possible;
• proper records are maintained.

Human Resources / Head Office will be responsible for monitoring the operation of the policy in respect of employees and job applicants, including periodic departmental audits.

Responsibilities of Staff

Responsibility for ensuring that there is no unlawful discrimination rests with all staff and the attitudes of staff are crucial to the successful operation of fair employment practices. In particular, all members of staff should:

• comply with the policy and arrangements;
• not discriminate in their day to day activities or induce others to do so;
• not victimise, harass or intimidate other staff or groups who have, or are perceived to have one of the protected characteristics.
• ensure no individual is discriminated against or harassed because of their association with another individual who has a protected characteristic.
• inform their manager if they become aware of any discriminatory practice.

Third Parties

Third-party harassment occurs where a Company employee is harassed, and the harassment is related to a protected characteristic, by third parties such as clients or customers. 83 Zero will not tolerate such actions against it’s staff, and the employee concerned should inform their manager / supervisor at once that this has occurred. 83 Zero will fully investigate and take all reasonable steps to ensure such harassment does not happen again.

Related Policies and Arrangements

All employment policies and arrangements have a bearing on equality of opportunity. The Company policies will be reviewed regularly and any discriminatory elements removed.

Rights of Disabled People

The Company attaches particular importance to the needs of disabled people.

Under the terms of this policy, managers are required to:

• make reasonable adjustment to maintain the services of an employee who becomes disabled, for example, training, provision of special equipment, reduced working hours. (NB: managers are expected to seek advice on the availability of advice and guidance from external agencies to maintain disabled people in employment);
• include disabled people in training/development programmes;
• give full and proper consideration to disabled people who apply for jobs, having regard to making reasonable adjustments for their particular aptitudes and abilities to allow them to be able to do the job.

Equality Training

A series of regular briefing sessions will be held for staff on equality issues. These will be repeated as necessary. Equality information is also included in induction programmes.

Training will be provided for managers on this policy and the associated arrangements. All managers who have an involvement in the recruitment and selection process will receive specialist training.

Monitoring

• The Company deems it appropriate to state its intention not to discriminate and assumes that this will be translated into practice consistently across the organisation as a whole. Accordingly, a monitoring system will be introduced to measure the effectiveness of the policy and arrangements.
• The system will involve the routine collection and analysis of information on employees by gender, marital status, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, religion / beliefs, grade and length of service in current grade. Information regarding the number of staff who declare themselves as disabled will also be maintained.
• There will also be regular assessments to measure the extent to which recruitment to first appointment, internal promotion and access to training/development opportunities affect equal opportunities for all groups.
• We will maintain information on staff who have been involved in certain key policies: Disciplinary, Grievance and Bullying & Harassment.
• Where appropriate equality impact assessments will be carried out on the results of monitoring to ascertain the effect of the Company policies and our services / products may have on those who experience them.
• The information collected for monitoring purposes will be treated as confidential and it will not be used for any other purpose.
• If monitoring shows that the Company, or areas within it, are not representative, or that sections of our workforce are not progressing properly within the Company, then an action plan will be developed to address these issues. This will include a review of recruitment and selection procedures, Company policies and practices as well as consideration of taking legal Positive Action.

Grievances/Discipline

Employees have a right to pursue a complaint concerning discrimination or victimisation via the Company Grievance or Harassment Procedures.

Discrimination and victimisation will be treated as disciplinary offences and they will be dealt with under the Company Disciplinary Procedure.

Review

The effectiveness of this policy and associated arrangements will be reviewed annually under the direct supervision of the Company
