1 - Who manages the Alumni Portal?

“EY” refers to one or more of the member firms of Ernst & Young Global Limited (“EYG”), each of which is a separate legal entity and can act as a data controller in its own right.

The Alumni Portal is administered on EYs behalf by InSala and hosted in InSala’s data centre in the United States of America.

2 - Collection, use, disclosure, choice

The Alumni Portal collects and processes personal data relating to both former (Alumni) and current EY Partners and staff and other invited individuals as follows:

Information displayed in the Alumni Portal search engine:
When you first enter the Alumni Portal to manage your registration, you will be able to view a limited amount of personal data about yourself, as per the list below. This information is required as part of the authentication and verification process for the Alumni Portal, ensuring only those invited to be part of the Alumni community have access.

• First name
• Role (e.g. Alumni, Employee, Friend of firm)
• Preferred first name
• Last EY office
• Middle Name or Initial
• Rank at departure
• Current Last Name
• Service Line
• Country
• Sub Service Line

Pre-populated profiles:
If you were an active user of any previous EY Alumni system, you will already have a profile populated for you within the Alumni Portal. In addition to the limited information mentioned above which is available in the search engine, you are able to access a more detailed profile depending on the extent of information you have volunteered previously. However, as with all new users of the Alumni Portal, you can decide how much or how little information you would like to share with the wider community by following the sections outlined below.

New profiles:
If you are a new user of the Alumni Portal, once registered you will have the option to create a more detailed profile and decide how much information you would like to share with the wider user community by following the sections outlined below.

Searching for others:
Once you have completed the registration process you will be able to search for others users within the Alumni Portal. The limited list of information mentioned above is the minimum personal data which will be displayed about them, and you, in the search engine of the Alumni Portal (unless you choose to make your additional information public as set out below).

Making sections of your profile invisible to other users:
Once registered, you can decide whether or not to make your personal data available to other users of the Alumni Portal and you can make sections of your profile invisible if you choose to do so. This will remove those sections of your profile from others’ view. For example, you have the option to remove or not display items in your education/work experience and contact information sections of your profile.

Completely hiding your profile from other users:
As a registered user you have the option to hide your complete profile from view of other users.

Opting out or deleting your profile:
As mentioned above, even if you choose to hide your complete profile from others, limited information about you is still available via the search engine. However, you do of course have the option to “opt-out” from the Alumni Portal completely and thereby remove all of your personal data from the Alumni Portal. In order to do this you will need to contact your EY Alumni Manager.

How the Alumni Portal uses your email address:
An email address is key to allowing access to the Alumni Portal. It is one of the key data fields that allows EY to identify you and verify your registration.

The Alumni Portal does not have ‘chat’ functionality built in. If you contact another user via the Alumni Portal, that person will have access to your email address in order to continue the ‘conversation’ with you, regardless of whether you have made your email address visible to others in your profile.

Recommend a friend:
You can also recommend a ‘friend’ to the Alumni Portal by sending EY certain of their information. However, it is your responsibility to ensure you have the persons’ permission to pass their details on to EY.

3 - For what purposes does the Alumni Portal process your Personal Information?

The functionality of the Alumni Portal includes the following:

• Content Management – current EY personnel post content on the Portal of interest to you, including thought leadership, details of EY’s services, invitations to upcoming events and EY Highlights. You can view this content once you log-on to the Alumni Portal.
• Integration – the Alumni Portal can link to other EY sites like ey.com in order to provide you with easy access to the Alumni Portal and for ey.com to act as your first port of call.
• Network Groups – the Alumni Portal has forum capability which provides EY and a user the ability to build Discussion forums, to track Feedback/ Opinions and improve networking between Alumni.
• Social Media Feeds – in some countries, the Alumni Portal can interface with other social network Portals such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter so that you can synchronize your profiles on those sites with your Alumni profile. You are able to access your Alumni Portal profile directly from pre-determined social media sites. For more information about this contact your EY Alumni Manager.
• Careers – the Alumni Portal gives you the capability to:
  • access jobs which are currently available at EY. The Global Recruitment Management System (GRMS Taleo) feeds active job postings to the Alumni Portal. You can click on a link on the Alumni Portal which will take you to GRMS Taleo where you can apply for the job;
  • access other job opportunities available on the internet. EY personnel post jobs on the Alumni Portal which come from other websites on the internet;
  • post your own job opportunities on the Alumni Portal, following consultation and approval from your Alumni Manager;
  • create your own resume using Microsoft Word software, which you can either save within the Portal itself or on your own computer; and
  • obtain information, guidance and sample templates which you can use to assist with your job search.
• Client Relationship Management (CRM) – the Alumni Portal connects to EY’s CRM system to allow EY to manage relationships with Alumni for business development purposes. This includes advising you about EY member firms’ products, services and other opportunities in which you have expressed interest, processing requests by you or other persons authorized by you, and administering our business. Whenever you update your personal profile in the Alumni Portal, this information will feed through and also update your details in EY’s CRM system. Any marketing activities that we conduct with you through the CRM system will comply with applicable laws in your jurisdiction and you will always be given the option to “opt-out” from all future communications from EY if you choose to do so.
• Events – EY personnel can publish Alumni events on the Alumni Portal and you can be invited to these events via the Portal.
• Directory – The Alumni Portal has “Connect with Colleagues” and “My Public Profile” features which allows you to search for other users. By typing a person’s name into the Alumni Portal’s search function, a user’s record will be displayed (see above under the “Collection, use, disclosure choice” heading above for more details).
• Initiatives to Empower Women in the Workplace - upon registration, gender data will be fed into the Portal. This information will not be displayed or searchable within the Alumni Portal itself. It will be used by specific EY teams to identify women within the alumni community and working at our accounts. The purpose is so that EY can engage and develop sustaining relationships with key, influential women who are active in the markets which are served by EY member firms globally.

We do not transfer any of your personal data obtained through the Alumni Portal to any unaffiliated third parties, except in the following circumstances:

• when you have given your permission,
• when required by law, regulation or professional standards,
• as stated in this Privacy Policy, or
• when reasonably related to a sale or other disposition of all or part of EY's business.

4 - Sensitive personal data

Sensitive personal data reveals your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data, data concerning health or data concerning sex life or sexual orientation. EY does not intentionally collect any sensitive personal data from you via the Alumni Portal and it is not the intention of the Alumni Portal to process such data unless we are legally required to do so.

Each user of the Alumni Portal takes responsibility for population of their personal profile and any data they want to add into the Portal and share with the wider community. EY works to protect the confidentiality and security of such information it obtains in the course of business. Access to such information is limited and policies and procedures are in place designed to safeguard the information from loss, misuse and improper disclosure.

5 - Disclosure and international data transfers

EY has a comprehensive global privacy compliance program that includes EU-approved Binding Corporate Rules as well as certification to the EU-US Privacy Shield and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Please see EY’s Binding Corporate Rules page for more information on our Binding Corporate Rules, and EY’s Privacy Shield Notice for more information on how EY complies with the Privacy Shield program.

Transfers of personal data permitted under this Privacy Policy include the transfer of data from one jurisdiction to another, including transfers to and from the United States of America. Our vendor, InSala, adheres to the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework with respect to transfers of personal data from the European Union.

EY will only disclose your personal data to third parties that have agreed in writing to provide an adequate level of privacy protection. Your personal data will be disclosed for the following reasons:

• To our consultants and service providers as discussed more fully in section 12 below.
• Where the transfer is necessary to fulfil your request and involves a third party organization with which EY has a relationship; or
• In order to fulfil a request that involves more than one EY member firms; or
• When explicitly requested by you; or
• As required by a court order or any other legal or regulatory requirement; or
• The disclosure is reasonably related to the sale or other disposition of all or part of our business.

Note: EY does not collect or compile personal data or information obtained by the Alumni Portal for dissemination or sale to outside parties for consumer marketing purposes or host mailings on behalf of third parties.

6 - Controlling your personal data

Upon request we will inform you what personal data we are holding about you. Should you require your information be accessed, updated, amended, rectified or deleted from the Alumni Portal or if you need a readily portable copy of your personal data, or wish to have your personal profile deleted, please contact us outlining your requirements. As a registered user of the Alumni Portal, you will always have the ability to access your personal profile and correct and update your own details.

User profiles which have no activity will be removed from the Alumni Portal in compliance with local laws and your information will be deleted from the Portal at that time. Where this occurs, you will be required to re-register if you wish to access and use the Alumni Portal.

7 - Cookies

A "cookie" is technology that allows the Alumni Portal to store tokens of information (an 'identifier') in your browser while you are using the Portal. Cookies serve to help us track a user’s preferences when they use the Portal. Cookies are also used to provide assurance that access to certain proprietary and third-party content is limited to only authorized users of the Alumni Portal.

By using the Alumni Portal and clicking on the button at the end of this policy, you agree that we can place cookies in your browser. If you do not want to receive a cookie from the Alumni Portal, you have the option of setting your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, so that you determine whether to accept it or not. However, please be aware that if you do turn off 'cookies' in your browser, you are not able to fully experience some of the features of the Alumni Portal and it is possible that your access is denied to protected content items.

8 - Website Usage Data

With or without cookies, the Alumni Portal keeps track of usage data, such as the source addresses that page requests come from, IP addresses or domain names, the dates and times of the page requests, the referring web sites, and other parameters in the URLs. This information is stored in log files and is not linked to other client information. We use this data to better understand site usage in the aggregate and for aggregated statistical reporting. We also use this information to track your individual usage, and to report on such usage to EY personnel.

9 - Third-party links

Please be aware that the Alumni Portal contains links to other third party sites that are not controlled by EY and therefore not governed by this Privacy Policy. Such links could appear in documents posted by other users of the Alumni Portal. On these sites, third parties and others also collect information about you. We make no representations or warranties regarding how user data is stored or used on third-party sites. We recommend that you review the privacy policy of each third-party site that you visit from the Alumni Portal to learn more about why and how they collect and use your information.

10 - Children

The Alumni Portal is not intended for use by children. We understand the importance of protecting children’s information, especially in an online environment, and we do not knowingly collect or maintain information about children in the Alumni Portal.

11 - Feedback

Please contact us if you desire feedback or a response to a query about the Alumni Portal. We use the contact information you provide to us in order to respond to your query or request for feedback and to contact you regarding service updates or specific support questions. We also have the option to contact you for additional opportunities to provide feedback on our products and services. We will access the information that we need in order to fulfil your requests or reply to your inquiries. We retain records about customer service and technical service requests that you make. We do not use these records for purposes other than to service your request, maintain appropriate business records, and assess and improve our services.

12 - Access to Personal Information by Third Parties

In some cases, we employ or work with consultants, temporary workers, software developers, or outsourcers to complete a business process or provide a service (e.g., offering online advice, sending e-mail messages on our behalf) and this includes InSala, our vendor providing the Alumni Portal to you on our behalf. When we employ these agents or offer their services to our clients or third parties, we need to provide them with information about you. These agents or developers are prohibited through their contracts with us from using that information or disclosing it for purposes other than to offer or complete the service that we are outsourcing. Our general principle is that the Alumni Portal will not transfer personal data to a third party acting as an agent, unless the party is subject to local regulations that hold them to an equivalent standard of personal data compliance as that required by the Global EY network, or enters into a written agreement with EY Global Services Ltd that imposes the same level of protection of personal data. However you will be notified via a change to this policy should this happen. Please see section 17 of this Privacy Policy below for more details.

13 - Data Security and Integrity

We protect information as a core aspect of our business. We recognize industry standards and employ security safeguards to protect information from unauthorized access and misuse. Furthermore, we take necessary steps so that the information used to process requests you submit to us is accurate and current.

As you send information to the Alumni Portal over the Internet, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect the information, (e.g., cryptographically protected communications services such as Secure Sockets Layer encryption for Internet communications).

Our security measures are intended to comply with applicable laws and industry standards; however, you should be aware that the Internet is an unsecure environment and communications to and from the Alumni Portal may be observed by a third party while in transit. EY cannot be responsible for security of information on or transmitted via the Internet.

14 - Further information

For more information on the extent to which this Privacy Policy applies, please see the legal statement.

15 - Complaints

If you are concerned about an alleged breach of privacy law or any other regulation, contact EY’s Global Privacy Officer, Office of the General Counsel, 6 More London Place, London, SE1 2DA, United Kingdom or via email at global.data.protection@ey.com or via your usual EY representative. An EY Privacy Officer will investigate your complaint and provide information about how it will be handled.

If you are not satisfied with how EY resolved your complaint, you have the right to complain to your country’s data protection authority. You can also refer the matter to a court of competent jurisdiction.

16 - Contact us

If you have questions or you do not feel that your concerns have been addressed in this Policy, contact us.

17 - Changes to this policy

EY changes this Policy as needed. If changes to the Policy are made, please note that it may take up to 30 business days before new privacy practices are implemented. Check this page periodically if you would like to monitor changes.
