Introduction and scope of privacy notice
This Recruitment Privacy Notice explains the type of information we process, why we are processing it and how that processing may affect you. This Recruitment Notice applies to App Annie Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies globally and their respective employees.
What do we mean by "personal data" and "processing"?
"Personal data" is information relating to you (or from which you may be identified) which is processed by automatic means or which is (or is intended to be) part of a structured manual filing system. It includes not only facts about you, but also intentions and opinions about you.
"Processing" means doing anything with the data. For example, it includes collecting it, holding it, disclosing it or deleting it.
Personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, health, sexual orientation, sex life, trade union membership and genetic and biometric data are subject to special protection and considered by EU privacy law to be "sensitive personal data".
Your personal data
We process your personal data for the purposes of fulfilling our recruitment practices. Some of the personal data that we process about you comes from you. For example, you tell us your contact details. Other personal data about you is generated from references and third party companies such as recruitment agencies. Your personal data will be seen internally by managers, administrators and HR.
How long do we keep your personal data?
If you are successful in your application your data will be kept on your personnel file. If you are unsuccessful, most of your data will be deleted within twelve months after you have been informed that you were unsuccessful. We will keep some of your information (e.g. your name, the job you applied to and our actions taken) as a record of the fact of your application and of our decision making.
Transfers of personal data outside the EEA
We are headquartered in the United States with offices in the UK and the EEA. We also have offices in China, Korea, Singapore, Canada and Japan. In the course of the recruitment process, we may transfer your personal data outside the EEA to members of our group. Where necessary these transfers are covered by an intra-group transfer agreement ensuring appropriate and suitable safeguards with our group members. This is in standard terms adopted by the approved by the European Commission. If you wish to better understand details of these safeguards, please contact legal at privacy@appannie.com.
Contact details
In processing your data we, and in some cases our group companies, may act as a data controller. Please contact us at Human Resources at hrglobal@appannie.com.
Legal grounds for processing personal data

Who gets to see your data?
Your personal data may be disclosed to managers, HR and administrators for employment, administrative and management purposes as mentioned in this document. We may also disclose this to other members of our group.
Access to your personal data and other rights
We try to be as open as we reasonably can about personal data that we process. If you would like specific information, just ask us.
You may also have a legal right to make a "subject access request". If you exercise this right and we hold personal data about you, we are required to provide you with information on it, including a description and copy of the personal data and an explanation of why we are processing it.
If you make a subject access request and there is any question about who you are, we may require you to provide information from which we can satisfy ourselves as to your identity.
As well as your subject access right, you may have a legal right to have personal data rectified or erased, to object to its processing or to have its processing restricted. You may also have the right to be given your data in a machine readable format for transmitting to another data controller though this right is unlikely to be relevant to you the context of our recruitment processes.
We are unlikely to rely on consent as a ground for processing. However, if we do, you may withdraw consent at any time — though if you do so that will not affect the lawfulness of what we have done before you withdraw consent.
Complaints
If you have complaints relating to our processing of your personal data, you should raise these with HR in the first instance.
You may also raise complaints with the statutory regulator in your jurisdiction. If you are an applicant located in the UK or EEA, the relevant statutory regulators are:
