At any time, if you prefer, you may address any concerns directly to your employer, where appropriate.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

(PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU)

Castillo collects certain personal information about you and, if necessary, your family members and employer for the purposes of providing legal and immigration consulting services. We will not be able to provide the requested services if we do not receive all relevant personal information. The purposes for which personal information is used and examples of the types of information that may be required are detailed below. If in the course of our representation, you and/or your employer request additional services, such as visa extensions, applications for permanent residence and changes in employment, we may be required to collect additional types of personal information to provide the requested services.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

For the purposes of providing client services, including applicable legal services, and/or immigration consulting services that you and/or your employer request, Castillo collects and processes personal information such as name, address, telephone number, date of birth, marital status, passport number, employment history, educational background, tax status, employee number, job title and function, and expatriate status. When required for service, Castillo collects certain personal documents such as copies of passports, educational documents, CVs, copies of visas, birth certificates and other documents.

We obtain personal information from various sources, such as through our online portals, our website or mobile applications, online questionnaires and forms you complete, and other information you provide directly to us, including by email or in conversation with our attorneys, consultants and staff. In addition, we obtain personal information from outside sources, such as previous employers, educational institutions you attended, relocation companies, and your current or potential employer. We use this information to provide immigration legal and consulting services, including analysis, completion and processing of immigration, visa and related filings and submissions to relevant government agencies, providing legal and consultative advice on eligibility for immigration benefits and assistance with relocation and other expatriate matters.

In many cases, such as visa extensions, permanent residency and other cases involving changes in employment, the services we provide require follow-up services. If such follow-up is required, the information we have previously collected is used to provide the additional related services for which we have been involved.

We also use your personal information in other instances in connection with the services we provide. This use only occurs when there is a legitimate interest so that your data protection rights are not overridden, as required by law, such as assisting in the management and administration of our clients' global mobility programs (such as tracking visa expiration, immigration program compliance, etc.), providing access to online case management tools, where applicable, and analyzing immigration trends, such as visa processing times and government approval rates. When your employer hires you, we process your personal information because it is in our legitimate interest to do so in order to fulfill our contract with your employer for customer services.

In addition to providing you or your employer with our services, we process personal information to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, including recordkeeping requirements. For example, we process personal information under "know your customer", anti-money laundering regulations, anti-bribery regulations and professional regulations.

PRE-EMPLOYMENT CHECK

Certain countries require verification of employment eligibility of new employees at the time of hire. Examples of such requirements include the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 ("IRCA") in the United States, under which Castillo collects and processes personal information such as your name, email address, address, military service and citizenship status.

INFORMATION REQUESTS

If you request information about our services directly, you may choose to provide personal information, such as your name, address, e-mail address and telephone number. We use your information to respond to your request.

OTHER USES OF INFORMATION

Where it is in our legitimate interest and not overridden by your data protection rights, we use the personal information we collect and process for customer and Castle administration, compliance audits, compliance with Castle policies and procedures, ensuring the security and integrity of our services and in ensuring that our IT systems operate effectively.

In addition, we process your personal information with your consent, such as when we use your contact information to respond to a request or inquiry from you, or when required by law.

SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

IMMIGRATION SERVICES

Governments around the world require the collection and processing of a wide variety of personal information from foreign nationals seeking to enter the country and obtain immigration benefits, such as employment authorization or residency status. Governments require this information for reasons such as border protection, health, sovereignty, national security, and regulation of the local labor market. Certain categories of personal information may be considered "sensitive" and are subject to a higher level of data protection. These categories may include racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, sex life or sexual orientation, physical or mental health or condition, data relating to criminal offenses and/or convictions, and biometric data, such as fingerprints, when used to uniquely identify you.

In the context of the services we provide, Castillo collects sensitive personal information when the submission of such data is necessary to comply with the legal obligations of the country in which you are applying for a visa or work permit. In addition, Castillo may need to consult certain sensitive information to provide legal or advisory advice regarding your eligibility to travel or obtain an immigration benefit from a specific country. For example, we may need to ask you whether you have already been convicted of a crime, have certain political affiliations or other personal matters when applicable local immigration laws require such information for purposes of preparing an application or petition on your behalf or assessing whether certain personal information would prevent you from entering the country. In some cases, the laws of EU member states require us to process sensitive personal information for these purposes, as permitted by the terms of the GDPR; at other times, we will ask for your explicit consent to process this information.

LEGAL SERVICES

In the course of our client services, we may represent you and/or your employer in legal matters that require us to collect and use sensitive personal information relating to you. For example, if we represent you in an immigration case and you have been charged with or convicted of a crime, we will collect information about the alleged crimes and any related criminal history. When we process sensitive personal information in the course of these and similar client services, we do so to assist you and/or your employer in establishing, pursuing or defending legal claims or to assist you and/or your employer in complying with the rights and obligations of applicable immigration laws.
