Huron Privacy Notice for U.S. Employees, Directors, Officers, and Contractors Huron Consulting Group Inc. and its subsidiaries: Huron Consulting Services LLC; Huron Advisors Canada Limited; Huron Eurasia India Private Limited; Huron Managed Services LLC; Huron Transaction Advisory LLC; Innosight Consulting, LLC; Innosight Consulting Asia-Pacific Pte. Ltd; Innosight Consulting SARL; Pope Woodhead and Associates Limited; and, The Studer Group, L.L.C. (“Huron” or “we” or “our” or “us”) are committed to protecting the privacy of our employees, directors, officers, and contractors (collectively, “People,” or “you” or “your”), in the same way that we are committed to protecting the privacy of our clients, customers, marketing leads, website visitors and job applicants. 1 This Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice” or “Notice”) sets out the privacy practices for Huron with respect to Personal Data and Personal Information (collectively, “Personal Information,” which means any information that relates to, identifies, describes, or can be reasonably associated or linked with a natural person or household) we obtain from and about our People in the United States. 2 Additionally, if you are a resident of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act 2018 (“CCPA”) grants you the right to receive this notice which informs you of the categories of personal information to be collected by Huron and the purposes for which the categories shall be used; however, for reasons specific to the unique nature of the relationship between an organization and its people, the CCPA does not grant the additional CCPA access/deletion rights which it grants to certain customers. Regardless of the effect of the CCPA or any other law which applies only to subsets of our People, Huron encourages everyone to reach out to their supervisor, Human Resources, or Huron’s Chief Privacy Officer (privacy@huronconsultinggroup.com) with any privacy questions or concerns, regardless of what data protection laws apply at any given time based on location or residency. Finally, please note that this Privacy Notice will be updated from time to time as U.S. federal and state data protection laws evolve, and we will post an updated Notice on Huron’s iNet when we make such changes. Categories of Personal Information We Process About Our People In the table below, we have enumerated categories of Personal Information to communicate the Personal Information we collect about or from you. Our Personal Information processing activities related to our People are generally the same throughout the entire organization and are what you would expect from any similarly reputable employer; however, not everything below may apply to you, for several reasons. Some of the differences in processing activities are caused by differences in state laws, differences in local office and engagement practices, and the fact that this Notice applies to an interconnected yet varied group of individuals (for example, officers and directors may not be part of our ordinary payroll or recruiting processes, and contractors may not be part of the same benefits processes as employees). This Privacy Notice should be read and understood in the reasonable context of your particular relationship with Huron. 1 Huron maintains a separate Privacy Statement at https://www.huronconsultinggroup.com/privacy which covers our clients and customers (future, present, and past), marketing leads, website visitors and job applicants. You are encouraged to review and understand the Huron Privacy Statement, so that when you interact with these outside parties and individuals you process their Personal Information only in ways that comply with the commitments we have made in the Huron Privacy Statement. 2 Huron maintains a separate European Data Protection Notice based on the separate legal requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK Data Protection Act 2018. Page 2 of 5 CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY Categories of Personal Information Does Huron Collect this About You? A. Identifiers such as a real name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, Internet Protocol address, email address, account name, social security number, driver’s license number, passport number, or other similar identifiers. Yes. We collect identifying information about our People. It is critical for an employer to do so. B. Any categories of personal information described in subdivision (e) of Section 1798.80 (i.e., any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with, a particular individual, including, but not limited to, his or her name, signature, social security number, physical characteristics or description, address, telephone number, passport number, driver’s license or state identification card number, insurance policy number, education, employment, employment history, bank account number, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information, medical information, or health insurance information) Yes. We collect these additional categories of identifying information about our People. It is critical for an employer to do so. There are, however, reasonable limits based on what you would expect. For example, to the extent we have Personal Information related to your insurance, driving, or banking information, it is for the purposes described in the section below on “Purposes for Processing Personal Information” (e.g., payroll, reimbursement, insurance, official travel, credit checks, etc.). C. Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law (subject to change under the law, but for example: race, color, sex, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age, religion, national origin, disability, citizenship status, and genetic information). Yes. We collect these categories of Personal Information to comply with the law (e.g., equal employment law); you may voluntarily disclose them for employee engagement initiatives (e.g., when you join an iMatter team, though not necessary, you may choose to state your inclusion in one of these protected classifications); we also collect this category of Personal Information for Huron[1]sponsored visa and immigration assistance; and for workplace accommodations. D. Commercial information, including records of personal property, products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies. We generally do not collect or maintain this category of Personal Information (with minor exceptions – e.g., credit checks required by Huron or its clients, submitted travel and work expenses, and a record of any mobile device you purchased through Huron’s plan). E. Biometric information. No. However, access to Huron’s third-party data center (to which very few People have access) is controlled in part by biometric identifiers (e.g., fingerprint scans), and that third-party maintains a separate required notice provided to our People who have access to the data center. F. Internet or other electronic network activity information, including, but not limited to, browsing history, search history, and information regarding a consumer’s interaction with an Internet website, application, or advertisement. Yes, while you are using Huron IT resources, per the Employee Handbook, Electronic Communication and Use of Technology Policy, and Global Information Security Policy, your use of those Huron IT resources is subject to monitoring as necessary. We do not collect information about your use of the Internet or other electronic activity outside of Huron’s IT-controlled environment (e.g., when you are at home on your personal computer). G. Geolocation data. Yes, while you are using Huron IT resources, per the Employee Handbook, Electronic Communication and Use of Technology Policy, and Global Page 3 of 5 CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY Information Security Policy, your use of Huron’s IT resources is subject to monitoring as necessary. That function is critical to Huron’s IT Security (e.g., to locate stolen Huron laptops or mobile phones). We do not collect your geolocation data on devices other than Huron’s IT resources. H. Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information. Not much, and only what you would expect. As described in the section below on “Purposes for Processing Personal Information,” this category of Personal Information may be collected for physical security, including CCTV at Huron office locations on security systems, but would be overwritten after a set period of time. We also electronically monitor the use of Huron’s web properties, as described in Category F above. I. Professional or employment-related information. Yes. We collect professional or employment-related information about our People. It is critical for an employer to do so. J. Education information, defined as information that is not publicly available personally identifiable information as defined in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1232g; 34 C.F.R. Part 99). Yes, as part of the ordinary job application and internal or client background check process, we typically collect education information, such as degree confirmations or degree transcripts. K. Inferences drawn from any of the information identified in this subdivision to create a profile about a consumer reflecting the consumer’s preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes. Not really. We don’t collect inferences to create a profile, but, as is the case with every employer, we do have a recruitment file for job applicants, and an HR file which includes performance reviews that track expected categories of Personal Information such as job performance, behavior, attitudes, abilities, and aptitudes. Purposes for Processing Your Personal Information Huron processes the above-mentioned categories of Personal Information for the purposes listed in this section. While the list below is thorough, no general privacy notice or statement can be entirely static, so in addition to updating this Notice as appropriate, we may also provide you with additional short (i.e., “just[1]in-time”) notices to supplement the information in this Notice. Additional short notices will be given, as appropriate, at the time we collect additional Personal Information from you or when we process your Personal Information for additional purposes. A.
