Privacy Notice – CAPP Finity Tool

 

1. Introduction

This Privacy Notice is intended to describe the practices EY follows in relation to the CAPP Finity Tool (“Tool”) with respect to the privacy of all individuals whose personal data is processed and stored in the Tool. This Privacy Notice should be read together with the ey.com Privacy Statement, and in case of any conflict with the ey.com Privacy Statement, the terms of this Privacy Notice will prevail. Please read this Privacy Notice carefully.

2. Who manages the Tool?

“EY” refers to one or more of the member firms of Ernst & Young Global Limited (“EYG”), each of which is a separate legal entity and can determine the purposes and means for data processing in its own right (i.e. act as a data controller or in a similar capacity).

The entity that is acting as data controller (or similar capacity) by providing this Tool on which your personal data will be processed and stored is:

  • For the personal data of EY personnel: The data controller is the EY entity which employs you.
  • For the personal data of third-party personnel (including EY clients): The data controller is the EY local member firm with which the third party has a relationship.

You can find a list of local EY member firms and affiliates on the ey.com Privacy Statement.

The personal data you provide in the Tool is shared by the above data controller with one or more member firms of EYG (see “Who can access your information” section below).

The Tool is hosted externally by the vendor or its third-party hosting provider in the Rackspace data centre (Greater London, UK).

3. How does the Tool process personal data?

The Tool assesses competencies and aptitude of candidates using a digital psychometric assessment based on game technology.

Your personal data processed in the Tool is used as follows:

Candidate response data is processed in the Tool using an algorithm. The resulting analysis is used as candidate identifiers in order to determine progression through the recruitment process. Progression is based entirely on assessment scores and not on demographic data.

EY relies on the following basis to legitimize the processing of your personal data in the Tool:

  • The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
  • Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the data controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. The specific legitimate interest(s) pursued are as follows: Human Resource management, including performance reviews and recruitment.

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you based on the above legitimate interest(s).

The provision of your personal data to EY is optional. However, if you do not provide all or part of your personal data, we may be unable to carry out the purposes for processing.

4. What type of personal data is processed in the Tool?

The Tool processes these personal data categories: 

EY Personnel:

  • EY Recruiters
    • Full name
    • Email address
    • Audit logs relating to user login

Other:

  • Candidates
    • Full name
    • Email address
    • Assessment data
    • Audit logs relating to user login

This data is sourced from:

  • A feed from other EY Systems (GRMS – Taleo)
    • EY Recruiters
      • Full name
      • Email address
  • Provided directly by Candidates
    • Candidates
      • Full name

      • Assessment data

5. Sensitive Personal Data

Sensitive personal data reveals your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data, data concerning health or data concerning sex life or sexual orientation.

It is possible that Sensitive Personal Data will be processed by the Tool as part of evaluations, but this is not collected by Tool as part of the recruitment process (e.g. ethnicity).

It is possible that reasonable adjustment requirements will be collected / processed by Tool in order to provide reasonable adjustments within the process as needed. This is simply a statement check box that a candidate requires reasonable adjustments. This would be considered to relate to a candidate’s health condition.

The Tool also processes personal data relating to personality. There is a possibility, in certain jurisdictions, that this may be classed as health data and therefore as sensitive personal data.  

6. Who can access your personal data?

Your personal data is accessed in the Tool by the following persons/teams:

EY:

  • EY Recruiters: EY Recruiters will have access to candidate assessment results for candidates in their respective countries. EY Recruiters can also gain access to a report for each candidate to obtain more details on their specific traits.

EY will process your personal data in the Tool in accordance with applicable law and professional regulations in your jurisdiction. Transfers of personal data within the EY network are governed by EY’s Binding Corporate Rules.

We transfer or disclose the personal data we collect to third-party service providers (and their subsidiaries and affiliates) who are engaged by us to support our internal ancillary processes. For example, we engage service providers to provide, run and support our IT infrastructure (such as identity management, hosting, data analysis, back-up, security and cloud storage services) and for the storage and secure disposal of our hard copy files. It is our policy to only use third-party service providers that are bound to maintain appropriate levels of data protection, security and confidentiality, and that comply with any applicable legal requirements for transferring personal data outside the jurisdiction in which it was originally collected.

To the extent that personal data has been rendered anonymous in such a way that you or your device are no longer reasonably identifiable, such information will be treated as non-personal data and the terms of this Privacy Notice will not apply.

For data collected in the European Economic Area (EEA) or which relates to individuals in the EEA, EY requires an appropriate transfer mechanism as necessary to comply with applicable law. The transfer of personal data to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and IBM are governed by contracts that includes standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission.

After the end of the data retention period, your personal data will be deleted.
