ZS India will only collect this information with your written consent (contained in your Employment and Confidentiality Agreement) or if the information is collected for a lawful purpose connected to the provision of employment with ZS India and such collection is necessary for that purpose.

ZS India will keep the information we collect about current ZSers for as long as the employment relationship lasts or as required by applicable local law.

Please note that ZS India will no longer be able to consider you for employment or keep you as an employee should we no longer be able to use your personal information or SPD for the provision of pay, benefits, etc.

ZS works with a number of service providers in the course of everyday business. We have service providers that assist us with employee and candidate travel, the processing and distribution of paychecks and bonuses, the provision of benefits and other insurance services, as well as providers for the support of core business functions (e.g., software and server space). We never provide ZSers’ personal information to third parties that are not engaged in a service relationship with ZS, and we ensure that our service providers adhere to the same level of data protection that we do.

We are a global company, and your information may be transferred throughout our offices worldwide. We are headquartered in the United States. Your information is transferred in accordance with the requirements of our intergroup data transfer agreement, and ZS follows the OECD’s eight privacy principles.

We provide reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards intended to maintain the confidentiality of the information and SPD we collect. Please be aware that, although we endeavor to provide reasonable security for information we process and maintain, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches.

If you have any question, concerns, or grievances about this privacy policy or your information or SPD, please contact us via e-mail at dataprivacy@zs.com or to ZS Associates India Pvt. Ltd., Attn. Senior Legal Counsel, World Trade Centre, Tower 3, Kharadi, Pune 411014 Maharashtra India.
