Who this Privacy Notice applies to

This privacy notice does not apply to our employees, who are individuals employed by ManpowerGroup and who work directly for ManpowerGroup, nor any ManpowerGroup associate consultants that we engage with, from time to time, to deliver specific services.
What is ‘Personal Information’ or ‘Personal Data’?
Personal Information, also referred to as Personal Data, is information that whether alone, or combined with other information, allows you to be identified directly, or indirectly. Common personal data identifiers are attributes like your name, online identifier, or ID numbers. However, a combination of one or more elements specific to your physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity may also be identifiable personal information, given their potential to identify you when combined.
Some personal data types are considered more sensitive than others and the definition of sensitive data varies by local law. Across several major privacy laws, sensitive data examples include health data, ethnic and racial origins, political opinions, genetic and biometric data, an individual’s sex life or sexual orientation, religious/philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, precise geolocation and government issued identifiers.
Personal Information We Collect
Depending on the nature of our relationship with you, we will collect different types of personal data in a variety of ways. The personal information we collect will be limited to what is necessary to achieve the purposes stated in this notice that are relevant to the nature of the relationship.

Where none of the lawful grounds listed above applies, or where required by applicable data protection law, we rely on your consent to process your personal data. We will affirmatively request your consent, for example, when you tick a box to give permission based on your understanding of the nature of the processing.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning
Our career services are enabled by AI, which may include Machine Learning. With the assistance of AI, we can connect individuals with suitable opportunities, get people into work more efficiently, provide visibility on job market trends, and enhance our overall productivity.
ManpowerGroup is committed to transparent, trustworthy and safe AI and in line with our AI Policy, before deploying any AI tools, we conduct thorough risk assessments to safeguard individuals' rights. We commit to audit and testing of our AI systems to detect and prevent bias. AI does not replace human judgment and therefore there is always human oversight in our AI assisted processes. At any stage in our delivery of the services, you can ask us for more information and/or express your point of view about any of our processes or decisions involving you.
Examples of how we use AI in our Services:
While AI augments recruitment processes, the final decision to reject qualified candidates for an opportunity is always made by a recruiter. We do not intend to use AI to collect or process any sensitive data, and we do not permit AI automated decisions that are based on sensitive data. We do not use your personal data to train our AI systems.
By continuing to use our career services, you agree our use of AI for the purposes described here in.
