Sale of your Personal Information or Sharing for Cross-Context Advertising
We allow certain third parties to use cookies and other online tracking technologies to collect personal information of visitors on our careers website, such as IP addresses or identifiers and listings searched/accessed.  These third parties analyze site activity and help us personalize outreach and content based on your interests, measure the performance of opportunity-marketing content, and derive insights about the audiences who saw our content. These third parties may provide free or enhanced add-on services to our company, and they may use your personal information for purposes beyond the services they provide to our company (for example, building consumer profiles to help other clients with their targeted advertising or enriched analytics).  California law considers these types of online exchanges of personal information to be “sales” or “sharing” of personal information under the law, with some exceptions.  We sell or share the following categories of personal information to third party online analytics and advertising providers: Personal Identifiers; Internet or other similar network activity; Geolocation data; Professional Information (to the extent it can be derived from your activity on our website). For the specific third parties that we sell or share information with, please click on the “Manage Cookies” link at the bottom of the webpage for the names of Analytics and Advertising providers.

You have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information or the sharing of your personal information for cross context behavioral advertising or targeting purposes. To do so, please click on the “Manage Cookies” link at the bottom of this webpage and ensure the toggles for “Advertising” and “Analytics” trackers are set to “No”.
You may also implement a browser setting or extension to communicate your selling and sharing preferences automatically to the websites you visit. Our websites process such “opt out preference signals” in a frictionless manner. The current “opt out preference signal” with a defined protocol for companies to follow if they receive the signal is called the Global Privacy Control (GPC). GPC is available for an increasing number of browsers and browser extensions, listed here. If you want to use GPC, you can download and enable it via a participating browser or browser extension. More information about downloading GPC is available here.

Your Rights Under California Privacy Law
Under California law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information. These rights are subject to a number of exceptions and limitations enumerated under the law. 

Right to Access Personal Information
  • You can request to access either the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you during the past 12 months, or the below descriptions about that personal information:
  • The categories of personal information we have collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we have collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties to whom we disclose that personal information.
  • If we sold your personal information for a business purpose, a list of the personal information types that each category of recipient purchased.
  • If we disclosed your personal information to a third party for a business purpose, a list of the personal information types that each category of recipient received.

Right to Delete Personal Information
  • You may have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. If you submit a valid and verifiable request and we can confirm your identity and/or authority to make the request, we will determine if retaining the information is permitted or required under law.
  • If no retention conditions apply, we will delete your personal information from our records and direct our service providers to do the same.

Right to Correct Personal Information
  • You may have the right to correct inaccuracies in your personal information, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing of your personal information. If you submit a valid and verifiable request and we can confirm your identity and/or authority to make the request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the inaccurate information.

Right to Limit Processing of SPI
  • We process sensitive personal information solely as reasonably necessary, expected, and attendant to our talent acquisition process, to ensure the security and integrity of the information, or as otherwise authorized under law or regulation. Because we do not process your Sensitive Personal Information for other purposes, we do not provide any mechanism for you to limit our processing of such information.

Right to Opt-out of Profiling
  • We do not engage in automated processing of personal Information without human intervention to make decisions that produce a legal or other significant effect. Because we do not engage in such automated processing, we do not provide a mechanism for you to limit our processing of personal information in such a manner.

Right to Non-Discrimination
  • You may exercise your privacy rights without discrimination. For example, unless applicable law provides an exception, we will not deny you opportunities or services, or provide you a different level of or access to opportunities or services.

How to exercise the above rights
  • You may access and correct Personal Information you have submitted on our Careers website using your log in credentials to access your profile. You may also request that we remove your Personal Information from our records by sending an email to database.delete@mmc.com with the subject line, “Delete from Database.”
  • Alternatively, to exercise your rights to access, correction, or deletion described above, you may visit our online privacy rights portal by clicking here or call us at 1-866-374-2662. Only you or a person legally authorized to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. Agents must either provide a power of attorney demonstrating their lawful authority to act on your behalf or must submit both a written authorization from you as well as allow us to contact you to verify your consent.
  • You may only submit two privacy requests every 12 months. During the request process you must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, including via the provision of a copy of a valid photo ID and confirming other information we hold about you. In order to safeguard the personal information in our possession, if we cannot verify your identity or authority to act on another’s behalf, we will be unable to comply with your request. We will process and retain personal information you provide when submitting a verifiable request only to confirm your identity or authority, or to fulfill your request. We will respond to most requests within 45 days, unless it is reasonably necessary for us to extend our response time.

How to appeal an action we have taken with respect to your request to exercise a right
  • If we deny your privacy request in full or in part, please contact the email address for appeals provided in our written response to your request. Our privacy team will consider your request and applicable law, and either agree to honor your appeal request or deny it.

Direct Marketing and Do Not Track Signals
  • Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents may request a notice once a year about the personal information we disclosed to other businesses for their own direct marketing purposes in the prior year, including a list of the categories of personal information disclosed and the names and addresses of the recipients. To obtain such a notice, please contact us at privacy@mmc.com.
  • In addition, under this law you are entitled to be advised how we handle “Do Not Track” browser signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not honor Do Not Track requests at this time. Please see the section on Sales of Person Information for information about implementing the GPC signal.

Minors
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected any personal information from a child under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information from our files as quickly as possible. If you believe that we may have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us at the email address provided below.
If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). However, we never knowingly sell or share the personal information of minors under 16 years of age and would not do so in the future without affirmative authorization of the consumer if between 13 to 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age.
Questions, Requests or Complaints
To submit general questions, requests, complaints, or appeals regarding this Privacy Notice or our privacy practices, please contact us at privacy@mmc.com.
