Your personal data – what is it?

Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data. Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the data controller’s possession or which is likely to come into such possession.

Who are we?

TransPerfect Global, Inc., TransPerfect Translations International Inc., Translations.com and all of their affiliated and subsidiary entities (collectively, “TransPerfect”, “we”, “us” or “our”) are a “data controller” of your personal information.

• Where required and allowed by law, to conduct a pre-employment background check
• To maintain our own internal records

What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?
