This Candidate Privacy Notice (“Notice”) applies to personal information Conviva Inc., including any of its affiliates (collectively “Conviva,” “we” or “us”), collects about its job applicants and how it handles such information during the application process.

“Personal information” is information from which you can be personally identified. This includes your name, email address, location, job title and company or employer, your user ID and password when you access the Services, and other information you tell us about yourself if such information is tied to other information that identifies you. In certain jurisdictions, personal information also includes other information that relates to you or could be used to identify you, including your subscriber ID and your IP address.

Personal information does not include “anonymous information”, which is data from which we cannot identify an individual or from which individual identities or other personal information has been removed.  Anonymous information may include information that has been aggregated.

You are being provided this Notice because you are applying for work with us (whether as an employee or contractor). When you sign-up for job alerts or apply to a job posting directly with Conviva, the personal data contained in your application will be collected by Conviva’s third party provider(s) and shared with us.

Please review our Privacy Policy to learn how information provided through our website and/or services is processed.

Types of Information Collected

In connection with your application for work with us, we will collect, store, and use the following categories of personal information about you:

• Resume Information: Information you have provided in your CV/resume and cover letter.
• Application Information: Information you have provided on any application form, including name, title, address, telephone number and personal email address .
• Interview Information: Information you provide during an interview.
• Profile Information: Information available from your LinkedIn profile (where you have consented to linking your LinkedIn profile, provided consent via LinkedIn directly or through a third party contracted with LinkedIn and/or as you have made publicly available via LinkedIn).
• Background Information: Information you provide to us for purposes of conducting a background check, including prior education and employment history.
• Employment Information: Information you provide which is required to initiate your employment, such as proof of eligibility to work in a specified country (such as a passport or visa); date and place of birth; citizenship; social security or national insurance number; tax information; bank account information; benefits eligibility information and other information you provide for the purposes of starting employment or executing an employment agreement.

Sensitive Information: We may also collect, store and use the following types of more sensitive personal information:

• Information about your race or ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation and political opinions if you have provided such information voluntarily through your CV/resume, interview process and/or LinkedIn profile.
• Information about criminal convictions and offenses.

How is your personal information collected?

We collect personal information about candidates from the following sources:

• You, the candidate.
• Information provided to our third-party applicant tracking provider.
• Information available from your LinkedIn profile (subject to you explicitly consenting to linking your LinkedIn profile).
• Our external recruitment agencies.
• Our background check provider, from which we collect the following categories of data: criminal record information and education and employment verification.
• Your named references, from whom we collect the following categories of data: confirming employment and dates of employment.

Purpose and Basis for Processing

We will use the personal information we collect about you for the following business purposes:

• Administer and process your application, including verifying your identification, experience and other information you submit and, if your application progresses, any interview information and background check information.
• Communicate with you about your application, including contacting you via phone, email or social media platforms about your application and, if your application progresses, any interview and background check information.
• Assess and evaluate your suitability for the role for which you have applied, or for other vacancies, including verifying your identification, experience and other information you submit and, if your application progresses, any interview information and background check information.
• Conduct reference and background checks as part of your application, subject to applicable law, including verifying your identification and other information you submit and, if your application progresses, we will conduct background checks on your criminal history and verify your education and employment history.
• Comply with applicable laws and employment-related requirements, including verifying identification information and information required to initiate employment, for purposes such as confirming ability to legally work in a specific location, setting up payroll, withholdings and benefits, and complying with statutory reporting requirements.
• Inform you of career opportunities, including other vacancies for which you may be eligible.

We will normally only collect and process your information where:

• we need to comply with legal obligations applicable to us (such as applicable immigration and/or employment laws and regulations);
• we need the information to fulfill our responsibilities in any actual or prospective agreement with you (such as an employment agreement or an offer of employment, if you are considered for employment);
• the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (such as to ensure a safe working environment for all our staff, and to ensure the reliability of our candidates, and otherwise to administer and process your application, or to communicate with you about your application); or
• we have your consent to do so.

Where we collect and process special categories of data (for example, race, gender), then we will only process such information:

• where we reasonably need to do so in order to comply with our legal obligations as a prospective employer;
• where we need to do so in order to assess your working capacity;
• where we need to do so to protect your or another person’s vital interests (and we are unable to obtain your consent); or
• where you have given us your consent.

We will typically use your particularly sensitive personal information in the following ways:

• We will use information about your disability status to consider whether we need to provide appropriate adjustments during the recruitment process.
• We will use information about your race or national or ethnic origin, religious, philosophical or moral beliefs, or your sexual life or sexual orientation, to ensure meaningful equal opportunity monitoring and reporting.

What happens if you do not provide personal information?

If you fail to provide information which is necessary for us to consider your application (such as evidence of qualifications or work history) when requested, we will not be able to process your application successfully. For example, if we require a background check or references for the role you apply for and you fail to provide us with relevant details, we will not be able to take your application further.

Background Checks

If we extend an offer to you and you agree to continue the application process, we will perform a background check and collect information about your criminal conviction history and verification of your prior education and employment history. We require background checks in order to confirm that there is nothing in your criminal convictions history which makes you unsuitable for the role and that your education and employment history is consistent with what we have in your application file. Any employment offer is conditional upon a successful background clearance check.

Data Sharing with Third Parties

We will only share your personal information with third parties acting on our behalf for the purposes of processing your application. All our third-party service providers are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in accordance with our policies.

Data Transfer Abroad

We operate internationally and, as a result, if such data does not originate from within the United States, we will transfer candidate information across international borders, including from the European Economic Area (EEA) to the United States, for processing and storage. To the extent that your data is transferred outside the EEA, we will transfer such data consistent with applicable data protection laws.

Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need-to-know.

Data Retention

We may retain your personal information for up to three (3) years, or longer with your consent, for the purposes of evaluating your application for (1) the position you have applied for, or (2) future job openings with Conviva. We also retain your personal information for as long as needed so that we can show, in the event of a legal claim, that we have not discriminated against candidates on prohibited grounds and that we have conducted the recruitment exercise in a fair and transparent way.

Your Data Rights

To the extent provided for by law and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have the following rights in relation to the Identification Information, Internet Activity Information, and Administrative and Contact Information we collect:

• Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
• Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
• Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
• Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
• Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.
• Withdraw your consent to our collection and processing of your information at any time.
• Lodge a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues arising from job applicant data processed in the EEA.

Proceedings.

A printed version of the Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

The Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law rules, and the United States of America.

Subject to the Arbitration Agreement below, for all purposes of this Agreement, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the United States Federal Courts located in the Northern District of California. Use of the Website Service is not authorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of the Terms of Use, including without limitation, this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator.

Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

a. Agreement to Arbitrate

This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in this Terms of Use as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Company, whether arising out of or relating to this Terms of Use (including any alleged breach thereof), the Website Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Terms of Use, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

b. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND COMPANY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).

c. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution

Company is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at support@conviva.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Company should be sent to 989 East Hillsdale Boulevard, Suite 400, Foster City, CA 94404, Attn: Legal Department (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Company and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Company is entitled.

d. Arbitration Procedures

Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Use as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Use and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

Unless Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

e. Costs of Arbitration

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, Company will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, Company will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Company will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. The prevailing party in the arbitration will be entitled to recover the Arbitration Fees it has paid or owes and its reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees.

f. Confidentiality

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

g. Severability

If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms of Use will continue to apply.

h. Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement

Notwithstanding any provision in this Terms of Use to the contrary, Company agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Website Services, you may reject any such change by sending Company written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Use (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Use).

Integration and Severability.

Unless otherwise stated on the Site, the Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and Company with respect to the Website Service and use of the Sites, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and Company with respect to the Sites. If any provision of the Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms of Use will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.

Miscellaneous.

Company shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond Company’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation (including “line-noise” interference). The Terms of Use are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with Company’s prior written consent. Company may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without consent. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of the Terms of Use and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under the Terms of Use, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees. All notices under the Terms of Use will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; or the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service.

Conviva’s business is to empower our customers to understand, improve, and act on the performance of their over-the-top video services. In providing our services, we collect and process a variety of data which may include personally identifiable information or personal data. We are committed to keeping all data secure and to comply with all laws that apply to our business, including the new European data protection law known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As we continue to grow, providing a secure, privacy-compliant SaaS offering is vital to our success and the success of our customers. With GDPR going into effect on May 25, 2018, we’d like to tell you about the steps that Conviva is taking. First, as part of our commitment to GDPR compliance, we have updated our Privacy Policy, found here: www.conviva.com/legal/#Privacy-Policy. In addition:

• Conviva commits to follow appropriate security practices, standards, processes, and precautions in accordance with GDPR.
• Conviva will put in place an appropriate data transfer mechanism as required by GDPR when the transfer of personal data outside of the EU is necessary. This includes entering into standard contractual clauses.
• Conviva will retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide the services our customers request, or for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our policies.
• Conviva will assist with notifying regulators of breaches and promptly communicating any breaches to impacted customers.
• We will ensure that employees and contractors authorized to process personal data have agreed to keep personal data confidential.
• We will hold any sub-processors that handle personal data, including our data center partners and other vendors, to the same data management, security, and privacy practices and standards to which we hold ourselves.
• Where appropriate, we will offer contractual language documenting our commitments to our customers to support their GDPR obligations.
• Conviva will assist our customers, as far as possible, to respond to data subject requests our customers may receive under GDPR, such as for access to and deletion of personal data.

It’s All About Security

GDPR’s “security-by-design” principle resonates with us as we have incorporated best-in-class security measures throughout our systems and processes, including data encryption, minimization, pseudonymization, penetration testing, authentication, authorization controls, and training. For us, security begins with data collection via the Conviva SDK, which enables customers to control what personal data, if any, is collected. In addition, we:

• Protect, authenticate, and validate the quality of experience and audience engagement data sent to our servers;
• Encrypt all data via Transport Layer Security (TLS), signed by a specific Certification Authority (CA);
• Ensure that the hosting partners that power our services and store the data are SOC-2 and ISO 27001 certified;
• Routinely perform security scans of our network and applications to ensure that they remain secure;
• Use identity and access management technologies to control access to sensitive data;
• Employ an intrusion detection system (IDS) to monitor for threats and attacks;
• Control and secure access to Conviva’s systems (including those processing personal data) and only grant access to those persons whose roles and responsibilities require it;
• Use security authentication lock-out; and
• Soon will be introducing additional security measures including multi-factor authentication (MFA) and automated access controls.

Ways to Access, Control, and Delete Personal Data

We respect our customers’ rights to request access to, and control and deletion of, personal data as required by applicable law. Customers may request access to, or that we delete and stop collecting, personal data by submitting a Support Form found in the help drop-down menu of our Insights web portal. The deletion, and/or cessation of the collection, of personal data may impact the capabilities of certain of our services. Any questions or requests for assistance with the above should be directed to our customer support team at support@conviva.com.

How Long We Keep Personal Data

Conviva retains personal data collected from our customers in connection with their use of our services, such as account login information, for as long as the customer’s account is active or as needed for us to provide the services to the customer. If any personal data is collected from our customers’ end users (such as IP addresses and viewer ID numbers), then we retain this personal data for up to thirteen months after collection, unless otherwise directed by our customers. More information about our Data Access and Retention Policy can be found in the help drop-down menu of our Insights web portal. Data privacy and security are top priorities for Conviva, and we continue to invest in these essential elements of our business. With the implementation of GDPR, many Conviva customers around the world will benefit from the added privacy protections this law affords.
