Purpose of this policy This policy explains how we collect, store, process, and disclose your personal data, and also sets out your rights related to our collection, storage, processing, and disclosure of such personal information. Data collected For the purposes of providing you and your employer with comprehensive immigration services U.S. immigration law requires ISS to collect a broad range of personal and family related information called ‘personal data’ or ‘personal information’. Some of these data include sensitive information such as personal identifiers such as name, address, social security or individual tax ID numbers, alien numbers; biographic information revealing racial and ethnic origin, sexual orientation; legal information including criminal background; financial and tax information; employment history; and other information related to global immigration and employment. ISS limits data collection to only those data specifically required by statute and regulation for the particular petition prepared or service rendered on your behalf. You may inadvertently provide additional information and data when you send ISS forms and documents you are required to submit. This policy covers all the personal data you or your employer provides to ISS in whatever form it is received. These data are collected by entries you or your employer make at ISS’ secure website; from documents, forms and information you provide; from documents, forms and information provided by your employer; and other means needed to fulfill our obligations to provide the contracted services. Legal basis for collecting your data ISS collects, stores, processes, and discloses your personal data because there are lawful reasons to do so. These lawful reasons include: The processing of your personal data is necessary for compliance with legal obligations defined by the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA), 8 CFR, 20 CFR, and 22 CFR of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations and any other relevant regulations of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), U.S. Department of State (DOS) and other pertinent government agencies, to which ISS and you are subject in fulfillment of the contracted immigration services. The processing of your personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract between ISS and you or between ISS and your employer regarding the services we provide. You have given affirmative permission and consent to ISS for the processing of your personal data for the purposes of obtaining certain immigration related benefits. Sharing your personal data ISS will not share your personal information and data with any third party for any purpose whatsoever unless it is required to provide the services for which you have hired ISS and only then limited by the terms of this policy. ISS will not share your personal data with any third party not an integral part of the services provided unless subject to a lawful court order to do so. ISS will not use your personal data for the purposes of marketing products or services not related to the immigration services for which we have been retained. Your personal data may be shared with employees and contractors of ISS, as well as, your employer but only to the extent needed to accomplish the services ISS is under contract to provide. ISS may share your personal data with the USCIS, the DOL, the DOS and any other government agencies essential to the completion of the contracted services. As mentioned above, ISS may appoint sub-contractor data processors as required to deliver the services, such as, without limitation, document processing and translation services, IT systems or software providers, IT Support service providers, and document and information storage providers, who may process personal information on behalf of and at the direction of ISS. Further, ISS may appoint external data controllers where necessary to deliver the services (for example, but without limitation, accountants, attorneys, consultants and other third party experts including, but without limitation, other ISS employees, as well as other law firms). When doing so, ISS will comply with the terms outlined in this policy in relation to the processing of personal information including, but without limitation, putting appropriate safeguards in place.
