We may use technology (including technology provided by third-party service providers) to process your personal information in a manner that constitutes "profiling" (to the extent permissible under local laws). This involves the use of software that is able to evaluate your personal aspects and predict risks or outcomes. The main examples of when we conduct profiling are:

• when we use personality or psychometric tests, particularly in the recruitment process. These tests analyze your responses to highlight potential strengths and weaknesses and your possible match for certain types of roles, but we do not use these tests to automatically select or eliminate candidates; and
• for workforce management. We may use software to ensure our workforce is managed and utilized efficiently, to predict risks in staff retention, and to ensure that employees are being compensated fairly.

Although we may use profiling to assist our decision-making, we do not make solely automated decisions about individuals. We do not make decisions about hiring, compensation, dismissal, promotion, or other matters which may significantly impact an individual, without assessing all the circumstances.

We are committed to processing your personal information fairly and lawfully and only to the extent necessary to achieve the purposes listed above.

We must have a legal basis to process your personal information. In most cases, our ability to obtain and process your personal information is based on one of the following:

• necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, for example, to ensure equality of opportunity or treatment; as well as racial and ethnic diversity at senior levels;
• to take necessary steps prior to entering into a contract with you;
• to fulfill our contractual obligations to you in connection with your contract with us;
• to comply with our legal obligations, for example obtaining proof of your right-to-work status or carrying out background checks, or preventing unfair discrimination;
• to comply with our legal obligations to you, for example health and safety obligations that we must comply with as your employer, applicable laws in the reinsurance sector, or other applicable employment laws;
• to meet our legitimate interests, for example, to conduct the recruitment process efficiently and fairly, to manage our employees effectively, to develop, train and provide feedback on our employees, to monitor compliance with internal policies, to communicate effectively internally, to budget for payroll expenses, and to protect the company (and other employees) against theft, cybersecurity threats or other crimes. When we process personal information to meet our legitimate interests, we put in place robust safeguards to ensure that your privacy is protected and to ensure that our legitimate interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. If you wish to obtain further information concerning the balancing test that we carry out, please contact us at the details contained in the "Contact us" section below; and
• to protect your or another person's vital interests, for example by providing your health information to a doctor in a medical emergency.

On occasion, we may obtain your explicit consent to collect and use certain types of personal information, for example when we are required to do so by law, when taking photographs or video, or if candidates ask us to pass their details to a third party for recruitment or background check purposes. If we ask for your consent to process your personal information, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at the details contained in the "Contact us" section below.
