  • legitimate interests – the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests such as selection of suitable employees and contractors

  • where we process special categories of personal information – we rely on the following legal grounds for processing special categories of personal information. These are:
    • explicit consent, in cases where this is appropriate
    • to exercise or perform employment law rights or obligations
    • to review equality of opportunity or treatment
    • for the assessment of your working capacity

International Data Transfers And Accessing Of Your Data

We process personal information in countries around the world where we have operations.

Your personal information may be transferred to and/or accessed by individuals within Shelf Drilling, and/or third-party suppliers, that are located anywhere in the world in order to operate our business and/or to comply with legal obligations. Your personal information is subject to strict access controls to ensure that it is only accessed by those who need access to it in order to carry out their role.

Your personal information may be transferred to and/or accessed by individuals within Shelf Drilling and/or third-party suppliers that are located outside of the EEA. Some of these countries outside the EEA in which we operate are not covered by an adequacy decision by the European Commission which means that such countries are not deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal information. However, in such cases, we will take appropriate measures to safeguard your personal information in a way that complies with relevant data protection laws. Where such transfers require appropriate or suitable safeguards recognised under privacy laws, we may rely on them including international data transfer agreements.

How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Job Applicants

If you apply for a vacancy but don’t start work with us following the recruitment process, we will retain your personal information for such period as is necessary to allow us to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

If your application is unsuccessful, we would like to retain your personal information so that we are able to contact you to discuss other work opportunities we have in the future for which we consider you may be suitable (i.e., other than the position you applied for). We need your consent in order to be able to retain your personal information for this purpose. For that reason, prior to you being able to apply for one of our vacancies, you will be asked to read this privacy statement and to indicate whether you agree to its terms. If you tick the box to indicate that you agree to its terms, this will amount to you consenting to us retaining your personal information for this purpose for a period of two years. However, your consent can be withdrawn at any time by sending an email to privacy@shelfdrilling.com.

Registration Of Interest On Speculative Basis

If you register your interest in working with us on a speculative basis, we will retain your personal information for a fixed period for that purpose. We will need your consent in order to be able to retain your personal information for this purpose. For that reason, prior to you being able to register your interest in working with us you will be asked to read this privacy statement and to indicate whether you agree to its terms. If you tick the box to indicate that you agree to its terms, this will amount to you consenting to us retaining your personal information for this purpose for a period of two years. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time by sending an email to privacy@shelfdrilling.com.

If you ultimately start work with us, we will give you a copy of our Global Privacy Statement (HR) and any local privacy statement that applies to you and will retain your personal information in accordance with those notices.

Your Rights

We are committed to complying with all applicable data protection laws that apply to our processing of your personal information. This privacy statement applies on a worldwide basis across our operations, unless it conflicts with the laws in any particular jurisdiction, in which case we will process personal information in accordance with those laws to the extent they apply.

Under local privacy laws, you may have certain rights as regards your personal information. Where such rights exist, they will be detailed in the local Privacy Statement (HR) that applies in respect of the jurisdiction in which you are based (if any). A copy of any local Privacy Statement (HR) which applies to you can be requested by sending an email to privacy@shelfdrilling.com.

Examples of the types of rights you may have as regards your personal information are as follows:

Access to your information – if you have this right, you can request a copy of the personal information about you that we hold.

Correcting your information – if you have this right, you can ask us to correct your personal information if you believe it is not accurate, complete, or up to date.

Deletion of your information – if you have this right, you can ask us to delete your personal information if:

  • it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was obtained

  • you withdraw your consent, and we have no other legal basis for the processing

  • you validly object to the processing as described below

  • we have unlawfully processed the data, or

  • we must delete the data to comply with a legal obligation.

Objecting to how we may process your information – if you have this right and if we process your personal information to perform tasks carried out in the public interest or on legitimate interest grounds, you can object to this processing on the basis of your particular situation. We will only then continue the processing if we have overriding legitimate interest grounds for this, or the processing is to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. You may also object if we process your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

Restricting how we may process your information – if you have this right, you can ask us to restrict our processing of your personal information if:

  • you contest the accuracy of the information (for a period of time that enables us to check it).

  • there is no longer a legal basis for us to process your information, but you don’t want the data deleted

  • we no longer need the data, but you require it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or

  • you have objected (as above) and are awaiting confirmation as to whether we have overriding legitimate grounds for processing.

Transfer – if you have this right and our processing is based on your consent or necessary to carry out our contract with you, and is carried out by automated means, you can request a copy of the personal information you have provided to us and the transfer of this to someone else. Where technically feasible, you can ask us to transfer it directly to another controller.

Withdrawing consent for processing your information – if you have this right, you may withdraw your consent for the processing of your personal information at any time in which case we will stop processing your personal information for the purpose(s) for which consent was given unless we have another legal basis for the processing.

This privacy statement does not create rights for individuals as regards their personal information and is intended only to give examples of the types if rights individuals may have. If you have any queries as to whether you have any rights as regards your personal information and, if you do, what those rights are, please email privacy@shelfdrilling.com.

Some of the countries outside the EEA in which we operate, are not covered by an adequacy decision by the European Commission which means that such countries are not deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal information. However, in such cases, we will take appropriate measures to safeguard your personal information in a way that complies with relevant data protection laws. These measures may include approved standard data protection clauses, binding corporate rules, and/or the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework.

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

    reason

Sharing your personal information

In the course of processing your personal information for the purposes

International data transfers and accessing of your data

We process personal information in countries around the world where we
have operations.

Your personal information may be transferred to and/or accessed by
individuals within Shelf Drilling, and/or third-party suppliers, that
are located anywhere in the world in order to operate our business
and/or to comply with legal obligations. Your personal information is
subject to strict access controls to ensure that it is only accessed by
those who need access to it in order to carry out their role.

Your personal information may be transferred to and/or accessed by
individuals within Shelf Drilling and/or third-party suppliers that are
located outside of the EEA. Some of these countries outside the EEA in
which we operate are not covered by an adequacy decision by the European
Commission which means that such countries are not deemed to provide an
adequate level of protection for your personal information. However, in
such cases, we will take appropriate measures to safeguard your personal
information in a way that complies with relevant data protection laws.
Where such transfers require appropriate or suitable safeguards
recognised under privacy laws, we may rely on them including
international data transfer agreements.

How long we keep your personal information

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary
to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes
of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Job Applicants

If you apply for a vacancy but don’t start work with us following the
recruitment process, we will retain your personal information for such
period as is necessary to allow us to establish, exercise or defend
legal claims.

If your application is unsuccessful, we would like to retain your
personal information so that we are able to contact you to discuss other
work opportunities we have in the future for which we consider you may
be suitable (i.e., other than the position you applied for). We need
your consent in order to be able to retain your personal information for
this purpose.
For that reason, prior to you being able to apply for one of our
vacancies, you will be asked to read this privacy statement and to
indicate whether you agree to its terms. If you tick the box to
indicate that you agree to its terms, this will amount to you
consenting to us retaining your personal information for this purpose
for a period of two years. However, your consent can be withdrawn at
any time by sending an email to
privacy@shelfdrilling.com.

Registration of interest on speculative basis

If you register your interest in working with us on a speculative basis,
we will retain your personal information for a fixed period for that
purpose. We will need your consent in order to be able to retain your
personal information for this purpose.
For that reason, prior to you being able to register your interest in
working with us you will be asked to read this privacy statement and
to indicate whether you agree to its terms. If you tick the box to
indicate that you agree to its terms, this will amount to you
consenting to us retaining your personal information for this purpose
for a period of two years. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time
by sending an email to
privacy@shelfdrilling.com.

If you ultimately start work with us, we will give you a copy of our
Global Privacy Statement (HR) and any local privacy statement that
applies to you and will retain your personal information in accordance
with those notices.

Your rights

We are committed to complying with all applicable data protection laws
that apply to our processing of your personal information. This privacy
statement applies on a worldwide basis across our operations, unless it
conflicts with the laws in any particular jurisdiction, in which case we
will process personal information in accordance with those laws to the
extent they apply.

Under local privacy laws, you may have certain rights as regards your
personal information. Where such rights exist, they will be detailed in
the local Privacy Statement (HR) that applies in respect of the
jurisdiction in which you are based (if any). A copy of any local
Privacy Statement (HR) which applies to you can be requested by sending
an email to
privacy@shelfdrilling.com.

Examples of the types of rights you may have as regards your personal
information are as follows:

Access to your information – if you have this right, you can
request a copy of the personal information about you that we hold.

Correcting your information – if you have this right, you can ask
us to correct your personal information if you believe it is not
accurate, complete, or up to date.

Deletion of your information – if you have this right, you can
ask us to delete your personal information if:

  • it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was obtained
  • you withdraw your consent, and we have no other legal basis for the
    processing
  • you validly object to the processing as described below
  • we have unlawfully processed the data, or
  • we must delete the data to comply with a legal obligation.

Objecting to how we may process your information – if you have
this right and if we process your personal information to perform tasks
carried out in the public interest or on legitimate interest grounds,
you can object to this processing on the basis of your particular
situation. We will only then continue the processing if we have
overriding legitimate interest grounds for this, or the processing is to
establish, exercise or defend legal claims. You may also object if we
process your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

Restricting how we may process your information – if you have
this right, you can ask us to restrict our processing of your personal
information if:

  • you contest the accuracy of the information (for a period of time that
    enables us to check it).
  • there is no longer a legal basis for us to process your information,
    but you don’t want the data deleted
  • we no longer need the data, but you require it to establish, exercise
    or defend legal claims, or
  • you have objected (as above) and are awaiting confirmation as to
    whether we have overriding legitimate grounds for processing.

Transfer – if you have this right and our processing is based on
your consent or necessary to carry out our contract with you, and is
carried out by automated means, you can request a copy of the personal
information you have provided to us and the transfer of this to someone
else. Where technically feasible, you can ask us to transfer it directly
to another controller.

Withdrawing consent for processing your information – if you have
this right, you may withdraw your consent for the processing of your
personal information at any time in which case we will stop processing
your personal information for the purpose(s) for which consent was given
unless we have another legal basis for the processing.
