The meaning of Personal Data “Personal Data” is defined in data protection laws applicable in your country. It includes any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This means any individual who can be identified directly or indirectly by reference to an identifier such as name, identification number, location data, online identifiers (for example, IP addresses – if they can be used to identify you) or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Put simply, this includes data which either by itself or with other data held by us or available to us, can be used to identify you. Important notice about international transfers Due to the global nature of our business, your Personal Data will be stored and transferred to parties located in other countries, including outside the European Economic Area. These other countries will either have different data protection laws than your country of residence or they will not have data protection laws. They may not be deemed by the European Commission as providing adequate protection for Personal Data. In particular, we store your Personal Data on servers in the United States of America. The US are not deemed by the European Commission to have adequate protections for Personal Data. Steps will be taken to put in place safeguards (including around security) to protect your Personal Data when it is in these other countries. This may include the use of European Model Clause contracts, where required under applicable law. You can find out what these are online at the following address: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection_en If you have any questions or wish to be provided with a copy please contact us (details below). Please note commercially sensitive information may be removed/blanked out from copies supplied to you. The categories of Personal Data we may collect, the purpose and the lawful basis Personal Data collected from you include the following: Categories of Personal Data Purpose Lawful basis Application data (e.g. name, CV) Processing of this personal data is required to enable CCI to administer the recruiting process, including the set-up of an electronic job applicant HR file, managing your application, organizing interviews. Processing is necessary for us to entering into a contract with you. Contact information (e.g. full name, postal address, e-mail address, employer/business and professional information, job titles, telephone and fax numbers) Managing and responding to your queries. Performance of contract and legitimate interests - it’s important that we can respond to your enquiries.

Certain other Personal Data is processed for our legitimate interests in cases where this does not result in prejudice to you. Data anonymisation and use of aggregated information We may convert your Personal Data into statistical or aggregated data in such a way as to ensure that you are not identified or identifiable from that data. We may use this aggregated data to conduct market research and analysis, including to produce statistical research and reports. For example, we may produce reports on which of our product offerings attract the fewest or the highest number of enquiries from brokers and intermediaries and other persons visiting our Site. In particular, we may use technology to collect anonymous information about the use of this Site. For example: We use technology to track which pages of our Site visitors view. We also use technology to determine which web browsers our visitors use. This technology does not identify you personally, it simply enables us to compile statistics about our visitors and their use of our Site. Certain pages of this Site may contain hyperlinks to other pages of it. We may use technology to track how often these links are used and which pages on our Site our visitors choose to view. Again this technology does not identify you personally — it simply enables us to compile statistics about the use of these hyperlinks. We use this anonymous data to improve the content and functionality of this Site and consider areas and subjects which are attracting interest so that we can focus our e-mail updates (for those that wish to receive such communications). This allows us to better understand our Site visitors’ interest areas generally and therefore to improve our Site and products and services we offer. Cookies are small pieces of data that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or application. SCROLL What are cookies used for? CCI’s website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google will analyze your use of our website on our behalf. The information collected by Google in connection with your use of CCI’s website (e.g. the referring URL, our webpages visited by you, your browser type, your language settings, your operating system, your screen resolution) will be transmitted to a server of Google in the US, where it will be stored and analyzed. The respective results will then be made available to CCI in anonymized form. We have activated on our website the IP anonymizing function offered by Google, which will shorten your IP address within the European Union. Further information on Google Analytics is available under Privacy and Data Protection Guidelines of Google Analytics. The use of Google Analytics cookies is based on your consent under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Moreover, we have provided appropriate safeguards by concluding standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission with Google, which ensures that an adequate level of data protection is maintained with respect to the processing of data by Google in the US. The analytics service used by our site uses the following analytics cookies: Cookie name Provider Purpose _ga Google Analytics These Cookies are used to collect information about how people use the website.

For example, sometimes a third party may have access to your Personal Data in order to support our information technology or to handle mailings on our behalf. The same applies to our recruiting platform Workday; to our legal and other professional advisers; as necessary in order to comply with a legal requirement (including, where appropriate, any imposed on our group companies in the United States), for the administration of justice, to protect vital interests, to protect the security or integrity of our databases or this Site, to take precautions against legal liability; to regulatory authorities, courts and governmental agencies to comply with legal orders, legal or regulatory requirements and government requests; and CCI may engage third parties to manage the Site and provide other services in connection with the Site, such as the collection and analysis of data. Such third parties may have access to certain personal information you provide as necessary for the provision of such services on behalf of CCI; provided, however, all such third parties shall be required to protect such personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Security of Personal Data We endeavor to use appropriate technical and physical security measures to protect Personal Data which is transmitted, stored or otherwise processed by us, from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access, in connection with our Site. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and facilities. Our service providers are also selected carefully and required to use appropriate protective measures. In certain areas, CCI uses industry-standard SSL-encryption to protect data transmissions. Most current browsers support the level of security needed to use these areas. In particular, we endeavor to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including as appropriate: (a) pseudonymisation (such as where data is separated from direct identifiers so that linkage to an identity is not possible without additional information that is held separately) and encryption, (b) ensuring the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of systems and services used to process your Personal Data, (c) ensuring the ability to restore the availability and access to Personal Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; and (d) ensuring a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational security measures. Retention period or criteria used to determine the retention period We keep your Personal Data for as long as it is necessary to do so to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected as described above. The criteria we use to determine data retention periods for Personal Data includes the following: (i) Retention in case of queries. We will retain it for a reasonable period after the relationship between us has ceased (up to 6 months) in case of queries from you; (ii) Retention in case of claims. We will retain it for the period in which you might legally bring claims against us (in Germany this means we will retain it for 10 years) if and to the extent we have entered into any contract with you; (iii) Retention in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements. We will consider whether we need to retain it after the period described in (ii) because of a legal or regulatory requirement. If your application for employment is successful and you commence employment with CCI, your Personal Data will be transferred to your personnel file and will be processed for employment purposes. If your application for employment is not successful, for non-EU applicants, excluding the United Kingdom, we will retain your Personal Data and the documents that were submitted as part of your application in our talent pool. This data will only be used to match your profile to future job vacancies and to contact you in the event that you are considered as a possible candidate in the future. Your data will be deleted after 24 months at the latest. For unsuccessful applicants from the EU and the United Kingdom, we will retain your Personal Data and the documents that were submitted as part of your application for no more than six months, but if you consent (by separately acknowledging your agreement to have your data processed pursuant to this policy), we will further retain such Personal Data and documents in our talent pool. This data will only be used to match your profile to future job vacancies and to contact you in the event that you are considered a possible candidate in the future. Your data will be deleted after 24 months at the latest. Further, you may withdraw your consent to our retention of this data at any time without giving any reason by contacting us (see "Contact Us" below).
