Transfers of Personal Information

• A list of the WMG affiliates that jointly process and use Personal Information (and their locations) is available upon request and at http://internal.wmg.com/entities. The Company and Warner Music Group Corp. will remain jointly responsible for Personal Information about you that is transferred and jointly used.
• Some of these countries are recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection according to EEA standards (the full list of these countries is available here http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.htm. With regard to transfers from the EEA to other countries, we have put in place adequate measures, such as standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission, to protect your information. Employees in the EEA may obtain a copy of these measures by contacting the WMG Privacy Coordinator at privacypolicy@wmg.com.

Criteria Used To Determine Our Retention Periods

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for or where we are lawfully allowed to retain it.  The period of retention will be influenced by the following:

• The duration of your employment;
• As long as we have an ongoing relationship with you;
• As required by a legal obligation to which we are subject; and
• As reasonable in light of our legal position (such as in regard of applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations).

UK Schedule

The information in this schedule is intended to supplement the Global Employee Personal Information Protection Notice (the “Global Notice”).  We reserve the right to amend or update this Schedule from time to time.

1. General:

• Warner Music United Kingdom Limited (the “UK Employer“) will typically gather and hold the personal data of UK employees.
• In the UK, if you have questions relating to your personal data you may contact Nicola Shaw, SVP, HR Operations at Nicola.Shaw@warnermusic.com. If you have concerns or complaints relating to how the Employer holds or uses your personal data then you may wish to contact the UK supervisory body – the Information Commissioner’s Office (https://ico.org.uk/).

2. Rights in respect of personal data

Subject to some exceptions, you have a right to request: (i) access to your personal data; (ii) the correction or deletion of certain personal data; (iii) that we restrict the processing of data concerning you or; (iv) in the case of data held in a special format – that we transfer such data to other organizations. Please contact Nicola Shaw, SVP, HR Operations at Nicola.Shaw@warnermusic.com for further information about such requests.

3. Basis for processing personal data

Information collected about you in the course of your employment will be collected and stored:

• because such information is necessary to fulfil the employment contract (such as the provision of benefits to you)
• because we need such information in order to comply with a legal obligation (such as our obligation to allow you to take annual leave)
• because it is necessary for the Employer’s or a third party’s legitimate interests which is not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

Taking the information in the Information Schedule of the Global Notice, our basis for processing is as follows:

Unless special circumstances apply, we would not hold your personal data for more than seven years from the January following the date on which you leave the business.

4. Special categories of data

UK law recognises that some information is particularly important and private.  This includes (but may not be limited to) information relating to your: (i) racial or ethnic origin; (ii) political opinions or religious and philosophical beliefs; (iii) trade union membership (if applicable); (iv) genetic or biometric data; (v) health; and (vi) sex life and sexual orientation.

Such information will generally only be collected if it is necessary to do so for the purposes of performing the Employer’s obligations under UK employment or social security law.  We may also:

• collect and process such data if it is necessary for identifying or keeping under review the equal opportunity within the workplace;
• collect and process information relating to criminal convictions but will only do so if such activity is authorised by law and we have an appropriate reason for doing so.

If we collect information of this type we will ensure that it is processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner and collected for a specific purpose.  We will endeavour to keep such information up to date, keep any such data to a minimum and to not hold it for longer than necessary.  We generally intend to hold such data during your employment and, upon the termination of your employment for a further three years from the January after your termination unless there are good reasons for holding data for an extended period (such as circumstances where there is envisaged or ongoing litigation).  At any point you may request that such data is erased or amended and such information will be erased or amended unless there is a lawful reason for us not to do so.
