Privacy Policy


This Privacy Policy applies to the website(s) and mobile applications (together, the "Sites") provided by Bain & Company Inc., a company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, and/or the other companies of the Bain group ("Bain", “we”, “us”) who act as data controllers[1] with respect to the personal data you share with Bain under this Policy.

The Sites include www.bain.com and additional websites or mobile applications produced and managed by Bain. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to the following websites:

  • the Bain Extranet (bcp.bain.com), which is accessible from the www.bain.com site but is governed by a separate policy contained in our agreements with Bain clients that are provided access to the Extranet; or
  • the Bain Alumni Job Board (careercenter.bain.com), which is provided and managed by a third party and is governed by a separate privacy policy.

Bain knows that your privacy is important to you and takes user privacy very seriously. We are committed to protecting your personal data[2] (i.e. any information you provide to us from which you can be identified) in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Bain reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to alter and update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We therefore invite you to review the current version of the Privacy Policy each time you return to our Sites.

Some terms are defined throughout this Policy. Simply hover over the terms in bold to obtain their definition.


Definitions



1. The data controller is the person or company that, together or jointly with others, determines the purposes (why) and means (how) of the processing of personal data.

2. Personal data is any information that relates to an individual who is identified or identifiable, for instance by reference to a name, an identification number or an online identifier.

3. Standard Contractual Clauses are an agreement that can be entered into by companies for transfers of personal data outside of the European Union. They are a mechanism approved by the European Commission to ensure adequate safeguards to personal data when it is transferred outside of the European Union.

4. Anonymizing means transforming data in such a way that it is no longer identifiable, i.e. the data can no longer be linked to an individual, even if combined with other information. Anonymous data is not considered "personal data".

5. Pseudonymizing means transforming data in such a way that it is no longer identifiable without the use of additional information. Pseudonymous data is still considered "personal data".
