Disclosures of Personal Data 

We may disclose your Personal Data to persons, groups, or entities as follows: 

  • Related entities, including our affiliates, subsidiaries, and other companies under common control and ownership as well as individuals involved in the recruitment process, including hiring managers; 

  • Service providers and contractors, that provide services on our behalf including recruitment agencies we engage to assist with our recruitment; background check and due diligence providers, providers of IT systems, and our recruitment platform operators. 

  • Professional advisors, such as lawyers, auditors, bankers, and insurers, as necessary to allow them to render professional services to us relating to recruitment; 

  • Third parties designated by you, in connection with the recruitment process; 

  • Business and marketing co-sponsors, such as third parties with whom we co-sponsor events; 

  • Business transferees, such as in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, combination, financing, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale of Ashurst Perkins Coie’s assets or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company. In the event of such a change to our business, the new owners or combined organization may use your Personal Data in accordance with this Recruitment Notice;

We may also produce, store, and share aggregated or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you for our own internal purposes, or to share with carefully selected third parties. Aggregated information may be derived from Personal Data but is no longer considered Personal Data under data protection law once individual identifiers have been removed. Ashurst Perkins Coie processes, maintains, and uses this information only in a de-identified fashion and will not attempt to re-identify such information, except as permitted by law. 

Data Retention 

To determine the length of time the Firm retains Personal Data, the Firm considers numerous factors, including: (i) the duration of the application process; (ii) the period of time that we have an ongoing relationship with you; (iii) legal obligations to which we are subject; and (iv) as advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations).  

Automated Decision-Making 

Automated decision-making or "ADM" is the process of making objective decisions by automated means, based on pre-defined criteria, without any human intervention. We will only use automated decision-making where permitted by law. ADM is not used for any recruitment activities in the United States. 

Ashurst Perkins Coie typically receives a significant volume of applicants for certain positions we regularly recruit for. If you apply for a training contract, vacation placement, clerkship, or solicitor apprenticeship in the UK, Australia, or Hong Kong, we may use third party online assessment tools as part of the application process. These assessments are designed to tell us whether you are likely to enjoy working with us, and whether you have the overall skills to be successful at Ashurst Perkins Coie. For certain roles, if you do not meet or exceed the required assessment score you will be unable to progress any further in the process. Express consent to the use of automated decision-making based on the assessment scores will be requested before you start the assessment.  

Aside from applications for these roles in these jurisdictions, no profiling or automated decision making will take place to determine suitability or eligibility for employment or engagement as a contractor. 

If you choose not to provide consent or subsequently withdraw your consent, we will not Process (or will stop Processing) your Personal Data using those techniques. If you ask us for a human review of an automated decision by contacting data.protection@ashurstperkins.com, we will manually review the automated decision and confirm whether or not it was correct. 

Please note that Ashurst Perkins Coie is an inclusive employer. We have taken positive action to ensure that the recruitment decisions we make are objective, free from bias, and based upon individual skills and potential. For example, our automated decisions never use sensitive (or ‘special categories' of) Personal Data that could be used to discriminate on the basis of gender, ethnicity, race, and religion. 

Security 

We maintain appropriate technical, organizational, and physical safeguards to protect your Personal Data, considering the nature of the Processing and the risks to individuals. We limit Personal Data access to those who need it for the purposes described in this Recruitment Notice. Our security program, which is supported by our ISO 27001 certification and other security standards, processes, and procedures, includes access controls, password protection, encryption at rest and in transit, multifactor authentication, vulnerability management, logging, monitoring, alerting, and personnel training. We also require individuals with regular access to Personal Data to protect its confidentiality 

However, no information system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the protection of any Personal Data you choose to transmit to our Websites.
