We collect personal information in writing, online, by telephone, by e-mail and from taking photographs and videos during campaigns.
N2O mostly collects personal information directly from the individual to whom it relates, except where that individual has consented to N2O collecting the personal information from a third party or the law otherwise permits N2O to do so.

Contact data – includes address, email address and telephone numbers.
Technical data – includes information about your internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.
Your preferences for receiving communications from us and our third parties and your communication preference, your language and social network accounts.
Additional examples of information we hold on you are performance history and feedback from each assignment, previous work experience / employment history, training and qualifications and clothing sizes.
We will take reasonable steps to ensure the personal information that we store is accurate, complete and up-to-date. You can update your details at any time via your account.
We will use your personal data for one or more of the following purposes, to:
make a decision about your application

deal with your enquiries and requests

investigate or respond to any dispute involving you or any other field workers or contractors including accidents at work

where necessary in the public interest or for official purposes

for our own administrative purposes, including training our staff and conducting internal audits
maintain information security to our database and electronic communication platforms, to prevent or detect fraud or abuse of our systems, for example, by requesting verification information in order to reset your account password.
We will send you information according to the preferences you submitted via our database. You can change these preferences at any point via your account.
We do not sell your personal information to others and if we wish to use your personal information for a purpose beyond that for which it was originally provided, we will ask for your consent or seek to rely on another valid legal ground to process your personal information in accordance with the applicable law.
We will not pass the information you have provided us to any third parties for marketing purposes.
As a contractor of N2O, we may contact you in order to keep you informed about N2O and its services, which we consider may be of interest to you.
To process your data lawfully we need to rely on one or more valid legal grounds. The grounds we may rely upon include:
your consent to particular processing activities. For example, where you have consented to us using your information to allocate you to suitable assignments;
our legitimate interests as a business (except where your interests or fundamental rights override these). For example, it is within our legitimate interests to use your data to prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our website;
our compliance with a legal obligation to which N2O is subject. For example, we have a duty to investigate and respond to complaints made against us and may need to process your personal information as part of such investigation; or
if you are a party to a contractual agreement, because processing your personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract.
There are circumstances where we may wish to disclose or are compelled to disclose your personal data to third parties. This will only take place in accordance with the applicable law and for the purposes listed above. These scenarios include disclosure to:
our subsidiaries or other group companies;
our outsourced service providers or suppliers to facilitate the provision of our services;
third party service providers and consultants in order to protect the security or integrity of our business, including our databases and systems and for business continuity reasons;
another legal entity, on a temporary or permanent basis, for the purposes of a joint venture, collaboration, financing, sale, merger, reorganisation, change of legal form, dissolution or similar event. In the case of a merger or sale, your personal data will be permanently transferred to a successor company;
legal advisors who may need to advise us or to manage or litigate a claim;
public authorities where we are required by law to do so; and
to any other third party where you have provided your consent.
We may transfer your personal data to a third party in countries outside the European Economic Area for further processing in accordance with the purposes set out in this policy. In particular, your personal data may be transferred to our outsourced service providers located abroad. In these circumstances we will, as required by applicable law, ensure that your privacy rights are adequately protected by appropriate technical, organisation, contractual or other lawful means. Please contact our Compliance Officer for Data Protection (as above in section 1.3) for information about the safeguards which we have put in place to protect your personal data and privacy rights in these circumstances
Your personal information will be retained for as long as it is necessary to carry out the purposes set out in this privacy policy (unless longer retention is required by the applicable law). However, we will not retain any of your personal information beyond this period and the retention of your personal information will be subject to periodic review. We may keep an anonymised form of your personal information, which will no longer refer to you, for statistical purposes without time limits, to the extent that we have a legitimate and lawful interest in doing so.
N2O is committed to seeking to safeguard all personal information that you provide to us; seeking to ensure that it remains confidential and secure; and taking all reasonable steps to ensure that personal privacy is respected.
All our data is stored in written or electronic form on our servers and computers and in various physical locations.
