Legal Bases for Processing. Some jurisdictions require us to state our “legal bases” for processing your personal data as described in this Notice (e.g., UK/EU). These legal bases are:

Contract: We may process your personal data as necessary to perform a contract with you, such as to enter into an employment agreement with you.
Legal obligation: We may process your personal data to comply with a legal obligation or request, such as to comply with employment laws.
Legitimate interest: We may process your personal data for purposes of our or another party’s legitimate interests, such as to maintain the security of our premises, personnel, and property.

5. Personal Data Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction of residence, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data (e.g., UK, EU, California). As provided in applicable law, these rights may include:

Request access to certain of your personal data, including the right to obtain confirmation of whether we are processing your personal data, obtain a copy of that information, and know certain information about our processing of your personal data, such as our processing purposes;
Request correction of certain of the personal data that we have about you that is inaccurate;
Request deletion or removal of certain of your personal data; or
Object to or request restriction of certain processing activities.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. In certain jurisdictions, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe we have processed your personal data in violation of applicable data protection law. However, we encourage you to raise any complaint with us first so we can do our best to resolve it.

Exceptions: There are certain exceptions to the above rights. For instance, we may retain your personal data if it is reasonably necessary for us or our vendors to provide a service that you have requested, to comply with law, or to detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity or prosecute those responsible for that activity. In addition, we reserve the right not to process requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive, as provided in applicable law, or that we are not legally obligated to process.

Exercising your rights: To exercise your rights, please contact us and specify the right(s) you want to exercise and the personal data with respect to which you want to exercise such right(s). You can submit your request by emailing us at dataprotectionofficer@bakertilly.com. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request, and to do so, we may ask you for additional information.

California disclosure: California law places certain obligations on businesses that “sell” personal data to third parties or “share” personal data with third parties for “cross-context behavioral advertising” as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act. We do not “sell” or “share” the personal data covered by this Notice and have not done so in the twelve months prior to the effective date of this Notice.

Please note that to the extent we collect sensitive/protected classification information, we do not process such information for purposes subject to the “right to limit” under California law. Accordingly, we only use and disclose such sensitive information about California applicants as reasonably necessary and proportionate: (i) to perform our services requested by you; (ii) to help ensure security and integrity, including to prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents; (iii) to detect, prevent and respond to malicious, fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal conduct; (iv) to verify or maintain the quality and safety of our services; and (v) for compliance with our legal obligations.
