We provide you with the ability to exercise your rights regarding our collection, use, storage and sharing of your information. Please note that for some of these rights, we will need to verify your identity before we are able to respond to your request, including using commercially reasonable efforts to confirm your identity including by matching the information provided in your request with the information we have on file about you. Depending on the sensitivity of the information involved in the request, we may also utilise more stringent verification methods to protect against fraud and ensure that your request is fulfilled in a transparent and secure manner.  

Where we are the Data Processor, please contact the Data Controller (e.g. your employer) to effectively exercise your rights.  

To exercise your any of the rights described below, send your request to privacy.info@alight.com or write to us at the postal address provided below, and we will respond as soon as possible in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. 

Right to correct: Regardless of where you live, you have a right to correct or amend the information we have about you.   

Right to unsubscribe: If you request electronic communications from us, such as an e-newsletter, or have consented to receive marketing communications, you have the right to unsubscribe from these communications at any time by following the instructions included in the communication.    

Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against individuals for exercising any of their data rights under applicable law.  This means that if you exercise any of your rights in connection with your data, we will not deny you goods or services; charge you different prices or rates for goods or services; or provide different levels or quality of goods or services to you. 

Right to know and data portability: The right to know and data portability applies differently depending on where you live. If you are a California resident, you have a right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information (as that phrase is defined under applicable law) we have collected about you in the 12 months preceding the date of your request, including a description of the categories of sources from which we have collected that information, the business or commercial purpose for collecting or sharing that information, and the categories of third parties with which we have shared that information. You may also designate an authorised agent to submit a request on your behalf by submitting proof of written authorisation along with your request. If you are living within the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether your personal information is being processed, and if so, the right to access your personal information. If we maintain your personal information based on your consent or so that we could enter into a contract with you, you can also request that we provide you with a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format and request the transfer of certain of your personal information to another party under certain conditions.  

Right to delete/Erasure: The right to delete/erasure also applies differently depending on where you live. If you are a California resident, you have a right to ask that we delete your information subject to appropriate exceptions.  You may also designate an authorised agent to submit a request on your behalf by submitting proof of written authorisation along with your request. If you live in the EEA, where the conditions provided by the applicable legislation are met, and subject to applicable law, you may request that we erase or restrict the processing of your information. You may also request that we delete certain incorrect information about you. 

Right to object to processing: If you live in the EEA, you may object to the processing of your personal data (as that phrase is defined under applicable law) in certain circumstances when we (i) process your information for the purposes of our legitimate interests, (ii) use your personal information for direct marketing; or (iii) use your personal information for statistical purposes. 

Right to withdraw consent: If you are located in the EEA, and when our legal basis for processing your information is your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. 

California notice of sale: We do not sell the personal information of California residents, nor have we sold California resident personal information in the past 12 months. We have no actual knowledge of selling the personal information of minors under the age of 16. 

Notice to residents of Nevada: We do not sell any personal information we collect to any third parties.  If we were to do so in the future, we will update this Statement, and provide Nevada residents with the opportunity to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. 

Complaints: If you have concerns about the way in which we have handled your information, please contact us (see “Contact us” below) so that we can try to resolve the issue. If you are located in the EEA, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority applicable in the jurisdiction in which the user is located, and with relevant judicial authorities. If you live in Australia, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. Contact details can be found at www.oaic.gov.au.

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 16. If you are under the age of 16 please do not provide your information to us through the website. If we obtain actual knowledge that any information, we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 16, we will promptly delete the information. 

Information that you provide to us may be stored on servers and with third-party service providers in the United States (where we are headquartered) or any other countries in which we do business and whose data protection laws may differ from the jurisdiction in which you live. When we transfer the personal information of users who are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) to a location outside of the EEA for processing, we use an approved transfer mechanism such as the European Commission approved standard contractual clauses. By submitting your personal data to us, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing at any location in the world. To find out more about the transfer mechanism that we use to effect such transfer, you may contact us at privacy.info@alight.com.
