‍
Legal compliance: We may disclose or allow government and law enforcement officials access to your personal data, in response to a subpoena, search warrant or court order (or similar requirement), or in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

‍
Additional sharing: For the avoidance of doubt, Future Meat may share personal data in additional manners, pursuant to your explicit approval, if we are legally obligated to do so, or if we have successfully rendered such data non-personal, non-identifiable and anonymous. We may transfer, share or otherwise use non-personal and non-identifiable data at our sole discretion and without the need for further approval.

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use both types of cookies to facilitate the use of the Services’ features and tools. While we do not change our practices in response to a “Do Not Track” signal in the HTTP header from a browser or mobile application, you can manage your cookies preferences, including deciding whether or not to accept them or remove them, through your browser settings.

Google Analytics collects information such as how often you visit the Site, which pages you visited when doing so, and which other sites you used prior to coming to our Site. We do not merge the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to and use of the Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

7. Communications

We may engage you in service and promotional communications through e-mail, phone, SMS and notifications. We may also notify you about events, special opportunities or any other information we think you will find valuable. We may provide such notices through any of the contact means available to us (e.g., phone, mobile or e-mail), through the Site, or through our marketing campaigns on any other sites or platforms.

‍

9. Data Subject Rights

If you wish to exercise your privacy rights under any applicable law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), such as the right to know; the right to request access to, and rectification or erasure of, your personal data held with Future Meat; to restrict the processing of such data and to object to its processing; to port such data; or the right to equal services and prices (each to the extent available to you under the laws that apply to you) – you may do so by contacting us at Legal@future-meat.com.

‍
Please note that we may require additional information, including certain personal data, in order to authenticate and process your request. Such additional information may be then retained by us for legal purposes (e.g., as proof of the identity of the person submitting the request), in accordance with Section 4 above. We may redact from the data which we will make available to you, any personal data related to others.

‍
Please also note that such rights are not absolute.

In the event that we cannot accommodate your request, we will inform you of the reasons thereof, subject to any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions.

‍

10. Roles & responsibilities

Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the GDPR and the CCPA, typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing personal data: the “Data Controller” (or under the CCPA, “business”), who determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “Data Processor” (or under the CCPA, “service provider”), who processes the data on behalf of the Data Controller.

‍
Future Meat is the Data Controller of its Visitors’ personal data, and assumes the responsibilities of a Data Controller, solely to the extent applicable under law and as set forth in this Policy. In such instances, our Service Providers processing such data on our behalf will assume the role of Data Processor.

11. Additional Notices & Contact Details

‍

We strongly urge you to read this Notice and make sure that you fully understand and agree to it. If you do not agree to this Notice, please avoid providing us with your data.

You are not legally required to provide us with any personal data, but without it, we may not be able to process your application.

1. What data do we collect, how do we collect it, and how do we use it? 

Throughout the application and recruitment process, you may provide us (or we may otherwise have access to) personal data about you, such as your identifying data, contact details, resume/CV, work-related data, social media activity, etc. We may collect this data directly from you, as you provide it voluntarily through your application and candidacy review process, or from other sources such as recruitment agencies, background check services (as applicable and subject to applicable law), or your references. 

We may use such data to assess our Candidates’ skills, qualifications and overall to verify, consider and process their application and candidacy for any of our positions, and to communicate with them regarding such processes. We may also use it to manage risk and enhance our security and anti-fraud measures, and create aggregated statistical or inferred data regarding our Candidates, for further development and improvement of our recruitment processes. 

‍

In addition, we may use it to act as permitted by, and to comply with, any legal or regulatory requirements. If we wish to conduct any additional activities that may require the use of your data, we will request your specific consent in advance.

‍

2. Where do we store our Candidates’ data?

Your personal data will be maintained, processed and stored by Believer Meats and our Service Providers (as defined in Section 5 below) in Israel, the USA, Europe and other jurisdictions, as necessary for the proper handling of your candidacy.

While privacy laws may vary between jurisdictions, Believer Meats and Service Providers processing personal data on our behalf are each committed to protecting personal data in accordance with this Notice, customary industry standards, and such appropriate lawful mechanisms and contractual terms requiring adequate data protection, regardless of any lesser legal requirements that may apply in the jurisdiction to which such data is transferred.

3. For how long may we keep your data?

We may retain Candidates’ data even after the applied position has been filled or closed. This is done (i) to reconsider Candidates for other positions and opportunities at Believer Meats; (ii) to use their personal data as reference for future applications submitted by them; (iii) in case the Candidate is hired, for additional employment and business purposes related to their work; (iv) as reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, enforce our agreements or otherwise protect our legitimate interests.

4. How will we secure your data?

Believer Meats has implemented security measures designed to protect the personal data of Candidates, including physical, procedural and electronic measures. We also regularly seek new ways and tools for further enhancing the security of our system and the integrity of the personal data that we hold. Please be aware that regardless of the measures we take and the efforts we make, we cannot and do not guarantee the absolute protection and security of any personal data stored with us. 

‍

5. Who will have access to your data?

Believer Meats will share your personal data with several selected Service Providers, whose services and solutions complement, facilitate and enhance our own.

Such Service Providers may receive or otherwise have limited access to our Candidates’ personal data, depending on each of their particular roles and purposes in facilitating and enhancing our recruitment process, and may only use it for such purposes.

‍

Additionally, we may disclose or otherwise allow access to any Candidates’ personal data pursuant to a legal request, such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order, or in compliance with applicable laws, with or without notice to you, if we have a good faith belief that we are legally required to do so, or that disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding actual or suspected illegal activity, fraud or other wrongdoing.
