2. What will Cargill do with your employment information? 

Generally, Cargill only uses Employment Information for employment-related purposes, including:

• Workforce Planning and Recruitment, such as job advertising, interviewing, selecting and hiring new staff;

Cargill is processing Employment Information because it is necessary for us to do so in connection with your employment contract. In addition, certain processing may be based on your consent or because it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or to enable us to pursue our legitimate business interests as a leading provider of food, agriculture, financial and industrial products and services.

3. Cargill Data Privacy Principles

Cargill observes the following principles in relation to Employment Information:

• We process it fairly and lawfully;
• We process it for a specific legitimate business purpose and do not process in a manner incompatible with that purpose;
• We use Employment Information that is adequate, relevant and not excessive for the purpose for which it is processed;
• We keep it accurate and, as necessary, up to date;
• We keep it in a form which permits identification for no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected;
• We protect it against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, using appropriate technical and organisational measures;
• We process it in accordance with an Individual’s rights.

4. Who is your employment information disclosed to?

(a) Within Cargill

Cargill restricts access to Employment Information to people within the company who have a “need to know” that information. As a global company doing business across national borders, there are many situations where this “need to know” requires your information to be transferred to Cargill in another country, including countries that may provide no or less legal protection for Personal Information. However, the purpose of the Cargill Data Privacy for Employment Information Policy is to protect your Employment Information in every country where Cargill does business.

(b) Outside Cargill

Cargill shares Employment Information with authorised Third Party Service Providers, such as compensation and benefits providers that have a “need to know” that information. Where it does so, Cargill imposes appropriate contractual obligations regarding Employment Information on such Third Party Providers.
Beyond our Third Party Service Providers, generally, Cargill will only disclose your Employment Information outside Cargill and its Service Providers:

• when required to do so by law;
• in response to a legitimate request for assistance by the police or other law enforcement agency;
• to seek legal advice from Cargill’s external lawyers or in connection with litigation with a third party;
• in connection with the sale, purchase or merger of a business; or
• to provide a third party (such as a potential supplier or customer) with a means of contacting you in the normal course of business, for example, by providing your contact details, such as your business phone number and email address.
