Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, Ceridian processes Personal Information on a number of lawful bases, including obtaining your consent, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, to protect yours or someone else’s vital interests, to perform a task in the public interest or for other legitimate interest.  In Europe and other jurisdictions where this is permitted, we rely on “legitimate interest” for example, for fraud prevention, network security, resolving product issues, planning and managing Ceridian events, developing and improving our services, sending informational communications and some direct marketing.

In some cases, Ceridian de-identifies or anonymizes Personal Information in support of legitimate business purposes.  Once deidentified or anonymized, such data is no longer considered Personal Information.  When using deidentified or anonymized data, Ceridian does not attempt to reidentify the data.

Cross Border Transfers

To run our business, we may store and process your Personal Information in any country where Ceridian and authorized third parties operate. When we transfer your Personal Information in this manner across country borders, we implement adequate measures for its protection, and for compliance with applicable laws. 

Ceridian utilizes the adequacy determinations made by the European Commission to transfer Personal Information to countries with data protection that is adequate to the EU.  Ceridian also utilizes Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for the transfer of Personal Information from the EU and Switzerland to other countries.

 

How Personal Information is Protected

Ceridian has implemented policies and procedures to protect Personal Information.  Ceridian uses recognized industry standard security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the Personal Information.  Ceridian reviews its security policies and procedures on a regular basis and updates them as needed to maintain their relevance.  Ceridian makes reasonable security arrangements to protect Personal Information from and against risks, such as loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal and destruction.  The methods of protection include physical measures, organizational measures and technological measures.  Ceridian requires all third parties to whom it transfers Personal Information to maintain adequate safeguards in compliance with applicable laws and standards to protect Personal Information.  In the event that Ceridian is required by law to inform you of a breach of your Personal Information, we will notify you electronically, in writing or by telephone, if permitted by law. 

 

Retention of Personal Information

Ceridian will retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or as required to comply with legal obligations.  These legal obligations are reflected in an internal retention policy and schedule.  At the end of the retention period, Ceridian will securely delete the Personal Information.  If there is any data that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our systems, we will put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further use of such data. 

 

Do Not Track Disclosure

Do Not Track (DNT) is a preference that users can set for their browsers to opt out of the online tracking activities by some websites.  Ceridian does not respond to DNT signals in browsers.

Ceridian makes reasonable efforts to keep Personal Information as accurate, complete and up-to-date as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the information is to be used.  Unless Ceridian is permitted or required by law to prohibit access, you can view and if necessary, update and correct your Personal Information.  Depending on the jurisdiction in which you are, you may have additional rights such as the right to request deletion of your Personal Information, the right to restrict or object to processing your Personal Information by Ceridian or the right to transfer your Personal Information to another organization.    Individuals can submit requests for any of these rights here or by using the information in the “How to Contact Ceridian” section. 

Note that, as required by law, we will require you to prove your identity.  We may verify your identity by phone call or email.  Depending on your request, we will ask for information such as your name and contact information.  We may also ask you to provide a signed declaration confirming your identity.  In some circumstances, you may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf here.  We will require verification that you provided the authorized agent permission to make a request on your behalf.
