Managers and supervisors have access to work-related information about their employees, but not to all Personal Information.

We will transfer your Personal Information consistent with applicable legal requirements and only to the extent necessary for the purposes set forth above.

    Nightwing relies on available legal mechanisms to enable the legal transfer of Personal Information across borders and ensure an adequate level of protection, as required by law. To the extent that Nightwing relies on the standard contractual clauses (also called the model clauses) to authorize transfer, Nightwing will comply with those requirements, including where there may be a conflict between those requirements and this Notice.

    What choices do you have about how Nightwing uses your Personal Information?

    Your Personal Information is critical to Nightwing human resources management worldwide. As a result, unless contrary to local law, collective bargaining, or works council restrictions agreed to by Nightwing, collection, and use of your Personal Information as described in this notice is generally required for your employment. Your Personal Information is required to pay you, manage your employment, and comply with legal obligations, such as tax laws and compliance regulations. Depending on the location in which you work, local laws may require that you provide specific consent for the collection, use and/or disclosure of Personal Information in certain circumstances. Where required, Nightwing will ask for such consent by appropriate and permitted means.

    How long does Nightwing retain Personal Information?

    Nightwing retains your human resources Personal Information for the length of your employment and for any additional period as required by applicable law or regulation, court, administrative or arbitration proceedings, or audit requirements. For more specific information about retention of your human resources information, please contact your local HR representative.
