Privacy Policy | Megaport Networks
The Megaport group of companies, being Megaport Limited and its subsidiaries (including Peering GmbH) (“Megaport”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of personal information (being any information relating to an identified or identifiable human being, as defined by applicable personal data and privacy laws)[1] – more specifically, the privacy of each individual whose personal information we control the processing of in the course of our business (Data Subject or you).
This Privacy Policy (“this Policy”) explains how Megaport companies collect, use, share, store and retain (i.e. ‘processes’) personal information when they do so as the ‘controller’ thereof (as such term is understood in Article 4 No. 7 EU Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”)). (This means that details of how Megaport facilitates the transmission of our customers’ data as part of our services to them are not set out here, but are instead contained in our Global Services Agreement.)
As we process personal information in different contexts and for different reasons, this Policy is divided into different Parts, with our relevant controlling entity being specified in each Part (and you can access their contact information here). More specifically:
Part 1 relates to our customers and prospective customers;
Part 2 relates to our recruitment of future employees ;
Part 3 relates to all visitors to the Megaport websites, including the use of cookies;
Part 4 contains general provisions affecting all categories of personal information, setting out where it is stored or shared, how it is protected, and what your rights as a data subject are.
Megaport may update this Policy from time to time by posting the revised version on our website.
PART 1: CUSTOMERS
Data Controller: Thecontroller of customer-related personal information is the Megaport entity providing the services to that customer, alternatively the Megaport entity operational in the relevant region.
Personal Information: The customer-related personal data processed includes:
customer contact details, including the name, position, email address and phone numbers of customers’ employees or representatives;
customer credit card details and credit information (to the extent that it relates to any individual);
each customer’s password and username for accessing our services;
records of each customer’s use of our services and it’s communications with Megaport; and
prospective customer contact details, including the name, position, email address and phone number of its employees or representatives.
How we collect it: Personal information related to our customers is collected directly from our customers via their representatives (be it in person, via phone, email, or by actively submitting it via our website/s). Customers are responsible for the completeness and accuracy thereof and for ensuring that the people to whom the information relates (ie customer’s employees or other representatives) have been notified and, where required by law, have consented. If a customer does not provide Megaport with the information requested, our services to that customer may be restricted or prevented. Personal information related to prospective customers is collected from publicly available sources (e.g. prospective customer’s website; LinkedIn) or via participation at conferences, trade shows and other networking events. Megaport may also collect such personal data from our contractors and suppliers; credit reporting bodies and credit providers; other telecommunication and information service providers; and public sources.
Why we need it: Although Megaport’s business is not consumer-facing and our customers are corporate entities, we need such personal information to promote, explain, and sell our services to prospective customers (in accordance with applicable direct marketing laws) and to provide our customers with services and carry out functions incidental thereto, like account management and service support. Doing so falls within Megaport’s legitimate and legally-protected interests.[2] More specifically, we use it for:
processing a customer’s application, including carrying out checks for credit-worthiness;
provisioning or connecting each customer’s services;
dealing with customer enquiries and providing customer support;
managing each customer’s services, including account management, billing, processing payments and collecting debts;
administering our agreement with each customer;
product research and development, business planning and staff training;
communicating with our customers about our services and special promotions relating thereto (in the latter case, provided you have not opted-out of receiving such promotional material, which can be done via the unsubscribe links within those communications or by contacting privacy@megaport.com);
communicating with our customers about third party promotions or news, provided we have prior opt-in consent thereto as required by applicable direct marketing laws.
How we share it: To the extent necessary for the aforesaid purposes (or otherwise permitted by law), Megaport may share such personal information within the Megaport group and with other organisations such as:
our service-related suppliers, resellers and agents;
our out-sourced service providers who perform functions and services on Megaport’s behalf, such as contact centre services, mailing functions, credit card payment processing, or IT services;
credit reporting bodies, credit providers or debt collection agencies;
our marketing partners;
our legal, accounting and financial advisers;
customer’s other authorised representatives.
How long we keep it: Customer-related personal information is stored only as long as needed to satisfy the above purposes, normally being for so long as customer’s Global Services Agreement is effective and for such period thereafter as required or permitted by law.
Data Controller: Thecontroller of personal information processed during recruitment activities is the relevant Megaport entity that will be employing the successful candidate.
Personal Information: The specific personal information collected depends on what a candidate chooses to provide to us. Of course if we don’t receive the specific information we need, we may not be able to assess or proceed with his/her job application further. The types of personal information processed include:
contact details (such as your name, physical address, email address and phone number);
employment-related information (such as information within your resume regarding previous work experience, qualifications and referees, as well as your working rights and your police clearance, to the extent permitted under relevant employment laws); and
records of the candidate’s communications with us (including information gathered during interviews).
Note that we do not require, and candidates should not submit, any sensitive personal data (that is data relating to his/her racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or other beliefs, political or trade union membership, philosophical beliefs, health, sexual orientation or criminal convictions).
How we collect it: We usually collect such personal information when candidates interact directly with us. For example, when candidates provide information to us in person, phone or email, or when they provide their details via our recruitment websites (including via job portals like Seek or LinkedIn). We may also collect information about candidates indirectly from our recruitment agencies, candidates’ referees, and from other public sources (eg LinkedIn profile).
Why we need it: Megaport will only process a candidate’s personal information to the extent necessary for the job application process and/or their subsequent employment with Megaport, as required by our legitimate legally-protected interests or applicable laws. More specifically, your personal information is used to assess and process your job application; to make a decision about whether to employ you; to deal with your queries and defend against potential claims in relation to the recruitment process; to consider you for future job opportunities with us (if you have consented to us retaining your details for such purpose); and, if you are hired, to make decisions about your employment with us.
How we share it: For the aforesaid purposes and to the extent permitted by law, we may share such personal information within the Megaport group of companies, as well as with recruitment agencies and other third parties we engage to provide recruitment services on our behalf; your referees; third parties who conduct background and police checks; and the institutions that issued your qualifications.
How long we keep it: Megaport deletes a candidate’s personal information after the application process is finished unless you are subsequently employed by Megaport or have consented to your data being retained for future employment offers, or applicable laws entitle or require Megaport to retain the information for longer (for example, to defend against potential legal claims related to the recruitment process).
