Please note that you have a right to object to processing of your Personal Data where that processing is carried on for
our legitimate interest. We may aggregate/pseudoanonymize your Personal Data to analyse and improve our

We only process such data where necessary and to uphold specific rights of Momentive or of a prospective employee,
under employment law or for the assessment of your working capacity. This information may be used to help us monitor
compliance with equal opportunity legislation, along with accommodations or adjustments required for interview or
application purposes in connection with any incapacity. In most applications, this is probably not going to be the case
but if it is necessary, we will treat this data with the utmost sensitivity.
We will only process data relating to your criminal convictions or involvement in criminal proceedings when permitted
by law, or where provided voluntarily by you.

interests or the interests of another. If we do so, we will provide you with full details of the data that we would like and
the reason we need it, as well as the fact that you can revoke your consent at any time and how you should do that. If
you withdraw your consent, we will no longer process your application and, subject to our retention policy, we will dispose
of your Personal Data securely.
