It also describes the cookies we may use and send to your computer or mobile device. Please note that this privacy standard is not an exclusive description of how Cord processes the personal information of individuals.
If you use Cord's products or services further information will be provided as part of the engagement process. If you are an employee, worker or contractor of Cord, the information about how we handle your personal information as an employee is located on the WorleyParsonsCord intranet and will have been notified to you. If you are a prospective employee or job applicant of Cord, we will provide you with information about how we handle your personal information for recruitment purposes in our “Recruitment Privacy Statement.” This will be provided to you if you commence our electronic application form or any other of our recruitment initiatives. If you have any questions about this privacy policy or any other privacy polices mentioned above please contact the

How we collect personal information
We will collect and store your personal information when you interact with our website or, as a customer, request our products or services. We collect personal information in writing, by telephone, by e-mail and by online applications.
Cord collects personal information directly from the individual to whom it relates, except where that individual has consented to Cord collecting the personal information from a third party or the law otherwise permits WorleyParsonsCord to do so.
What personal information do we hold about you
Personal information means any information relating to a person that enables them to be identified either directly or indirectly. Personal information that we hold about you may include your:
name
address
email address
phone number
IP address
location data.
If you are a client, personal information that we hold about you may include the same information listed above, along with your language, gender, date of birth, fax and social network accounts. We may also process your function/job title within the company and your work email address and your company’s name, postal address, VAT and/or company number.
In order to improve the services or products we offer to clients, we may also obtain additional relevant personal information about you. This can be public information, e.g. official publications, or information which we obtain via third parties and that we use for the purposes mentioned in this privacy policy. For example, we may use such personal information to verify the accuracy of our personal information in our databases or to tailor our marketing services more accurately to you. Public information about you can consist of information published on the World Wide Web or personal information that you have made public (for example, on your social media profile). We will take reasonable steps to ensure the personal information that we store is accurate, complete and up-to-date.
How we use your information
We will use your personal data, and may share your personal data with other parties acting on our behalf, for one or more of the following purposes:
to conduct research about the use of our website
to assess and respond to a complaint you might make to us
for our own administrative purposes, including training our staff, conducting internal audits or transferring assets as part of a sale, purchase or investment in the business
if you are a client, to carry out our contract with you
for market research purposes
to conduct investigations of suspicious or harmful activity
to comply with Cord’s regulatory and legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information to others. If we wish to use your personal information for a purpose beyond that for which it was originally provided, we will ask for your consent or seek to rely on another valid legal ground to process your personal information in accordance with the applicable law.
Information for marketing purposes
Where you have consented to us using your personal data for marketing purposes, we may use your information to conduct marketing and data analysis or to send you updates and news concerning Cord and its business partners.
If at any time after you have consented to us using your information for marketing purposes and you wish us to stop using your information for these purposes, please email us at
dpo@WorleyParsons.com
.
Grounds for processing
To process your data lawfully we need to rely on one or more valid legal grounds. The grounds we may rely upon include:
your consent to particular processing activities. For example, where you have consented to us using your information for marketing purposes
our legitimate interests as a business (except where your interests or fundamental rights override these). For example, it is within our legitimate interests to use your data to prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our website
our compliance with a legal obligation to which WorleyParsonsCord is subject. For example, we have a duty to investigate and respond to complaints made against us and may need to process your personal information as part of such investigation
if you are a customer, because processing your personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract.
Disclosure of your personal information
There are circumstances where we may wish to disclose or are compelled to disclose your personal data to third parties. This will only take place in accordance with the applicable law and for the purposes listed above. These scenarios include disclosure:
to our subsidiaries, branches or associated offices
to our outsourced service providers or suppliers to facilitate the provision of our services, for example, the disclosure to our data centre provider for the safe keeping of your personal data
to third party service providers and consultants in order to protect the security or integrity of our business, including our databases and systems and for business continuity reasons;
to another legal entity, on a temporary or permanent basis, for the purposes of a joint venture, collaboration, financing, sale, merger, reorganisation, change of legal form, dissolution or similar event. In the case of a merger or sale, your personal data will be permanently transferred to a successor company
to legal advisors who may need to manage or litigate a claim
to public authorities where we are required by law to do so
to any other third party where you have provided your consent.
International transfer of personal data
We may transfer your personal data to a third party in countries outside the EU for further processing in accordance with the purposes set out in this policy. In particular, your personal data may be transferred throughout the WorleyParsonsCord group and to our outsourced service providers located abroad. In these circumstances we will, as required by applicable law, ensure that your privacy rights are adequately protected by appropriate technical, organisation, contractual or other lawful means. Please contact the
Worley Data Protection Office
for a copy of the safeguards which we have put in place to protect your personal data and privacy rights in these circumstances.
We may disclose your information to any person as required by law and specifically to any government agency if we believe in good faith that we must do so to comply with the law or that doing so is required to prevent, detect, investigate or remedy improper conduct potentially affecting Cord.
Retention of personal information
Your personal information will be retained for as long as it is necessary to carry out the purposes set out in this privacy policy (unless longer retention is required by the applicable law). However, we will not retain any of your personal information beyond this period and the retention of your personal information will be subject to periodic review. We may keep an anonymised form of your personal information, which will no longer refer to you, for statistical purposes without time limits, to the extent that we have a legitimate and lawful interest in doing so.
Confidentiality and security
WorleyParsonsCord is committed to:
seeking to safeguard all personal information that you provide to us
seeking to ensure that it remains confidential and secure
taking all reasonable steps to ensure that personal privacy is respected.
All our data is stored in written or electronic form on our servers and computers and in various physical locations. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information from misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure and loss or corruption by computer viruses and other sources of harm. We restrict access to personal information to those staff members, joint venture partners, subsidiary companies and third parties who need to know that information for the purposes set out in this privacy policy.
By giving us information or allowing it to be collected, to the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that you will not make any claims against, and that Cord will not be held liable for, any claims, losses or damages which may result, directly or indirectly, from collection of that information, including from misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure and loss or corruption by computer viruses and other sources of harm to the information we collect.
