About this Notice

This Notice outlines Intel’s practices for the handling of employee personal information and is applicable worldwide. Intel can amend this notice at any time. Updates will be posted here. This Notice is applicable to employees.

Collection and Use of Your Personal Information

Intel collects and uses employee personal information primarily in order to manage the employment relationship such as delivery of applicable compensation and benefits programs; human resources practices, including hiring, promotion, retention and discipline; centralizing and processing human resources information; participation in company provided programs and events; career development opportunities; promotion of healthy lifestyles; assurance of a safe working environment and legal obligations, including notifying family members or designated contacts in case of emergency; assessing suitability for employment or particular position.

Legal obligations require us to collect and use information as needed to investigate violation of law or company policy, protect against security threats, perform recordkeeping and documentation obligations (such as for financial, accounting or tax laws), respond to subpoenas, discovery or Government or other legal authority requests in the context of litigation or investigations.

Where employees use Intel assets, device or usage information is captured to protect Intel’s assets and rights, Intel records, collects, stores and analyzes information on: (1) your use of, or access to, company-issued equipment, media, applications, network resources and IT services, and (2) any data, content, or communications transmitted to or from, received or printed from, or created, stored or recorded on any of the above, including personal use, such as where Intel-sensitive terms are typed into a web-based online personal email or web form, for example. This is true regardless of the labelling of the data, the use of encryption, the deletion of the data or communications, or any other factor. All activities performed on personally-owned devices used for Intel business, and related data, applications, content and communications, are also subject to these security measures.

Intel may also use information described under this Notice to evaluate, improve and develop services and products, subject to legal review.

Furthermore we share your personal information with institutions and authorities to which Intel is obliged to transmit data.

Appendix for Employees in the European Economic Area (EEA)

If you work for an Intel entity established in the EEA that entity is responsible for handling your personal information, the following sections provide additional information under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and national data protection law.

The data we process is required to perform our working relationship with you (such as staff administration or resource planning), or to comply with legal obligations (such as health and safety management) and Intel’s legitimate interests (subject to legal review, to evaluate, improve and develop services and products). Where we support or protect our assets, rights and security, this processing is also based on our legitimate interest.

Data Sharing – Intel Corporate Privacy Rules

For personal information from the EEA that is transferred to an Intel entity outside the EEA (e.g. to Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, California (USA) that does not have an “adequate level of protection” as determined by the European Commission, Intel does so on the basis of its approved binding corporate rules known as the Intel Corporate Privacy Rules (Intel’s ICPR). Intel’s ICPRs establish adequate protection of personal information and are legally binding on the subsidiaries and affiliates identified in Intel’s Deed Poll. Access Intel’s ICPR. Where Intel’s ICPR do not apply, we rely on other lawful measures, such as contracts that include the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Review the EU Standard Contractual Clauses on the European Commission’s website.

Employees can request access to their personal information, request correction, deletion or object to processing of their personal information where it is based on legitimate interest, ask us to restrict processing of their personal information or request portability of personal information they provided.

Where consent to the use of personal information has been obtained, it can be withdrawn at any time with future effect.

Global Contingent Worker Privacy Notice

Last Revised: Feb. 4, 2020

About this Notice

This Global Contingent Worker Privacy Notice (“this Notice”) outlines Intel’s practices for the handling of contingent worker personal information and is applicable worldwide. Contingent workers are individuals that are not Intel employees but are employed pursuant to a contact with a third party and require Intel facilities or equipment access to perform their duties. Intel can amend this notice at any time. Updates will be posted here. This Notice is in lieu of, and not in addition to, the external Intel Privacy Notice and the Global Employee Privacy Notice.

Collection and Use of Your Personal Information

Intel collects and uses contingent worker personal information such as name, contact details, education background, degrees, occupational history, government issued identification or other identification numbers and physical location in order to perform contract obligations, communicate as part of the work relationship, comply with legal obligations, and for administrative and information security purposes. We obtain personal information about contingent workers from third parties, such as the contingent worker’s employer, for these purposes as well.

Contract performance includes selection and identification of the contingent worker by reviewing resumes, conducting screenings and documenting Statements of Work or similar orders; onboarding which includes completion of forms and issuance of assets, processing compensation and off boarding upon completion of assignment.

During a contingent worker’s assignment, we use personal information to communicate and complete the work, such as email address and contact information like address and phone numbers.

Administrative purposes include collecting a contingent worker’s preferred contact in case of emergency, or identification or travel profile data if business travel is required.

Legal obligations require us to collect and use information as needed to investigate violation of law or company policy, protect against security threats, perform recordkeeping and documentation obligations (such as for financial, accounting or tax laws), responding to subpoenas, discovery or Government or other legal authority requests in the context of litigation or investigations.

Where a contingent worker is using Intel assets, device or usage information is captured to protect Intel’s rights and assets and to provide information security. This information may include identifying hardware data, network connection information, IP address and geographic location (such as through GPS, Bluetooth or WiFi signals). In order to protect other Intel assets, we may record, collect, store and analyze information on: (1) your use of, or access to, company-issued equipment, media, applications, network resources and IT services, and (2) any data, content, or communications transmitted to or from, received or printed from, or created, stored or recorded on any of the above, including personal use, such as where Intel-sensitive terms are typed into a web-based online personal email or web form, for example. This is true regardless of the labelling of the data, the use of encryption, the deletion of the data or communications, or any other factor. All activities performed on personally-owned devices used for Intel business, and related data, applications, content and communications, are also subject to these security measures.

Intel may also use information described under this Notice to evaluate, improve and develop services and products, subject to legal review.

How we Share Your Personal Information
