RASC reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to alter and update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We therefore invite you to review the current version of the Privacy Policy each time you return to our Sites.
Some terms are defined throughout this Policy. To obtain their definition refer to the definitions at the bottom of this Policy.

Personal data we collect might include your name, e-mail address, title, occupation, company or university affiliation, industry, region/country, reason for contacting RASC, topics you are interested in, any other background information provided with an application and any other information contained in messages you send us.
We might also collect information about how you use our Sites in accordance with our Cookie Policy.
By browsing our Sites and submitting this information to us, you explicitly agree to RASC using your personal data for the purposes and in the manner described in this Privacy Policy. Please do not send us any information you do not wish RASC to use.
RASC will use your personal data to fulfil your request, provide you with the information you requested and/or send you marketing communications. If you have applied for a job at RASC, your data will be processed for the purposes of evaluating and processing your application and candidacy for the position to which you have applied. We may also use your information to analyze and improve our recruiting and onboarding processes as well as to communicate with you about RASC events and to send you publications that we think may be of interest to you.

You do not have to provide us with any personal data. However, if you do not, we may be unable to handle your request or to provide you with the services you are requesting.
RASC will keep your personal data for as long as needed to handle your request or for as long as we have a relationship with you. If you have applied for a role with RASC, RASC will keep your personal data associated with your application for a period of up to five years.
Please note that RASC is not responsible for any information you may disclose publicly in any chat rooms, message boards, or similar web pages, including those hosted on or linked to our Sites. You should keep in mind that, whenever you publicly disclose information about yourself online (for example, via message boards or chat rooms), such information could be collected and used by people whom you do not know.

Who we share your personal data with
We may share your personal data with other companies of the RASC group as well as with other third parties that might be located in a different country than your country of residence. RASC will not share or sell your data to any third party for their own use.
We may share your personal data with others, such as:
• carefully selected third party service providers, such as marketing service providers (if you have subscribed to our marketing communications), IT systems providers, recruitment service providers, background check providers, data cleansing providers or event organizers, so they can provide services to RASC;
• our advisors; and
• law enforcement authorities or other government bodies when we are required to do so.

The companies of the RASC group and other third parties we share your information with may be located in other countries, including countries that do not offer the same protection to your personal data as the country in which you reside. Where that is the case, RASC ensures that your personal data is protected by using appropriate legal mechanisms. If you reside in the European Union, such mechanisms include using contracts or wording approved by the European Commission (called “Standard Contractual Clauses” [3]).
Security of your personal data
RASC has implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures in order to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction.
