and/or through our apps.
You may set up your web browser to
block cookies or remove cookies stored from your computer or mobile device.

functions of our websites and apps.
Providing Personal Information
At times, Autolac may ask you to
voluntarily supply Personal Information, such as your name, email address,

such as subscribing to Autolac news alerts, direct marketing or requesting
further information from Autolac.
Where we ask you to voluntarily
supply Personal Information, we will use it to provide you with the information
or services that you have requested from us.
Job Applicants’ Personal Information
When you submit a job application to Autolac,
or to a recruitment agent or advisor engaged to administer our employment
marketing initiatives and/or the recruitment/engagement process, we will
collect more specific Personal Information about you, such as your name, email
address and telephone number, qualifications and career history. We may also
ask you for other information, such as information on your interests and the
types of jobs in which you are interested. We may also collect your Personal
Information from publicly available sources (such as Facebook and LinkedIn);
and from third parties (such as references, psychometric test results, and
police checks). The Personal Information you provide to Autolac in, and in
connection with, your job application, and the further information which we
collect will only be processed for the purpose of considering employment or
internship positions at Autolac.
If any job application you make is
unsuccessful, Autolac may choose to retain your Personal Information for a
period of up to 12 months for the purposes of considering you for other roles
within Autolac. Autolac is under no obligation to retain your Personal
Information for this purpose and may elect to delete your Personal Information
at any time following an unsuccessful application. You may also request that Autolac

revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or
philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, health or medical conditions,

offences may be processed by Autolac if such processing is necessary to comply
with laws and regulations or where you provide this information voluntarily or
otherwise consent for us to do so.
Email monitoring
Autolac may monitor emails sent to
and from its workforce, which may contain Personal Information relating to
third parties. The information contained in such emails may be used for
business-related purposes, for example when investigating incidents within Autolac.

there may be occasions when this is necessary, for example, to investigate a
breach of security within Autolac, or in the context of legal proceedings.

protection and privacy laws, Autolac is required to set out the legal basis for
the processing of your Personal Information. In accordance with the purposes
for which we collect and use your Personal Information, as set out above, the
legal basis for Autolac processing your Personal Information will typically be
one of the following:
·
your consent;
·
the performance of a contract that we
have in place with you or other individuals;
·
Autolac’s or our business partners’ legitimate
business interests; or
·
compliance with our legal
obligations.
Disclosure of the information we
collect
Autolac may share your Personal
Information with people within Autolac who need to know that information for
business or legal reasons, for example, in order to carry out an administrative

submitted to the relevant department within Autolac.
We may disclose your Personal
Information to third parties including the authorities, Autolac's advisors,
suppliers of IT services and third parties engaged by Autolac for the purpose
of providing services requested by you; to protect any intellectual property
rights in any materials displayed on or otherwise available from Autolac's

respond to a legal request or comply with a legal obligation; and to enforce Autolac's
trading terms.
We may disclose your Personal

the job recruitment process to Autolac HR practitioners and to Autolac's
recruitment advisors for the purpose of considering you for career
opportunities with Autolac.
Transfer of your Personal Information
to other countries
Please note that any person to whom Autolac
may disclose your Personal Information under this Privacy Policy may be
situated in a country other than your own and that such country may provide a
lower level of data protection requirements than your own country. By agreeing
to this Privacy Policy, you consent to the transfer of your Personal Information
to a country other than your own.
Whenever we transfer Personal
Information across borders, we take steps to put in place adequate safeguards
to protect your Personal Information and to make sure it is treated in
accordance with this Privacy Policy.
