HOW DO WE COLLECT EMPLOYEE DATA

We may collect Employee Data in a variety of ways. For example, Employee Data might be collected through:

passport or other identity documents such as your driving license;
forms completed by you at the start of or during employment (such as in WorkDay, any application or benefit nomination forms);

In some cases, GoDaddy may collect personal data about you from third parties, such as references supplied by former employers, information from employment or criminal records background check providers as permitted by law, information from medical practitioners or health insurances, information from credit reference agencies, and information from tax bureaus or other governmental authorities.

WHO HAS ACCESS TO DATA?

Your information will be shared internally, including with members of the HR team, payroll, your manager, GoDaddy’s directors, executives and/or IT staff if access to the data is necessary for performance of their roles. We may also share your data with third party vendors that process data on our behalf, including but are not limited to:

vendors that facilitate with the recruiting and employment verification process (i.e., recruiters, background check vendors)
vendors that work within the provision of employee compensation, benefits, and leaves (i.e., payroll companies, health insurance providers); or
access management or other internal tool vendors that allow us to build our infrastructure and run our business effectively and securely (most notably, Workday).

The information which you give to us may be transferred to countries outside of the jurisdiction of your employment. For example, some of our third-party providers may be located outside of the European Union (“EU”). Where this is the case, we will take steps to make sure adequate technical and operational measures are in place so that your privacy rights will continue to be protected as outlined in this policy. By submitting your personal data, you’re agreeing to this transfer, storing or processing.

HOW DOES GODADDY PROTECT EMPLOYEE DATA?

GoDaddy has internal policies and controls in place to try to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by its employees in the performance of their duties. Where GoDaddy engages third parties to process Employee Data on its behalf, they do so on the basis of written instructions, are under a duty of confidentiality and are obliged to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of data.

HOW LONG DOES GODADDY KEEP EMPLOYEE DATA?

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulations, we will retain Employee Data only for as long as we believe it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the Employee Data was collected (including, for the purpose of meeting any legal, accounting or other reporting requirements or obligations). This will vary depending on the nature of the data, but please review our ‘Record Retention Policy’ on the Planet for questions relating to any specific or certain type of Employee Data.

YOUR RIGHTS: ACCESS, CORRECTION & DELETION

If you want to review, verify, correct or delete the Employee Data that we hold about you, please log into Workday and review your Employee Data under the “Personal Information” Icon, or submit a request to HR@godaddy.com.

We endeavor to ensure that Employee Data in our possession is accurate, current and complete. If you believe that your Employee Data incorrect, incomplete or outdated, you may request the revision or correction of that information. We reserve the right not to change any Employee Data we consider is accurate. If it is determined that Employee Data is inaccurate, incomplete or outdated, we will use reasonable efforts to revise it and, if necessary, use reasonable efforts to inform agents, service providers or other third parties, which were provided with inaccurate information, so records in their possession may also be corrected or updated.

You may request that we delete the Employee Data about you that we hold. There are instances where applicable law or regulatory requirements allow or require us to keep Employee Data. In such case, the request to delete this Employee Data will not be honored. For example, if you inquire about deletion of certain Employee Data needed to maintain the employment relationship, we would not be able to delete that data as it is necessary for the administrative processing of your ongoing employment relationship with GoDaddy. However, in such event that we cannot delete your Employee Data, we will inform you of the reasons why (subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions). Similarly, requests to delete your personal information submitted by you (or by us on your behalf) to a third-party provider for the processing of certain benefits, such as stock accounts held with E-Trade, health benefits processed by United Healthcare, 401k (for US residents) processed by Wells Fargo, and so-on, cannot be honored by GoDaddy. If you require such a third-party to delete any of your personal information, you must contact the third party directly to request such deletion.

In certain circumstances, you may have provided express consent in connection with your providing certain Employee Data to us of for a specific use of your Employee Data (for example, use of a photograph for your company profile picture). You may withdraw such consent of use, but in such cases we cannot ensure that information previously published can be removed from all mediums in which it was submitted.
