Shell Group Employee, Contractor and Dependents’ Personal Data

Information for individuals who are or were employees, interns or individual contractors as well as dependents of Shell employees.

  • What does this Privacy Notice cover?

    Every individual within the Shell group of companies (‘Shell’ or ‘we’) is responsible for protecting personal data about each other as well as that of our customers, business partners and suppliers.

    This Privacy Notice provides information about personal data processed by Shell companies in the United States of America in relation to individuals who are or were employees, interns or individual contractors (‘Shell Staff’) as well as dependents of Shell employees.  For Shell Staff who are also Motorists, loyalty customers or users of a Shell app or website in any capacity other than as Shell Staff, please refer to the relevant privacy notice at https://www.shell.us/. For individuals who apply to work for, or who attend a recruitment event or undertake an assessment with Shell please see the Privacy Notice- Recruitment at https://www.shell.us/.

    This Privacy Notice explains what personal data is processed, for which purposes, how long we hold the personal data for, how to access and update your personal data and where to go for further information.

    As well as this Privacy Notice, other privacy notices explain how we process personal data in relation to specific HR processes (such as Open Resourcing, OneHealth IT and International Mobility programs) as well as US specific privacy notices to reflect local practices and legal requirements.

  • What personal data do we process?

    Personal data is information that identifies you as an individual or relates to an identifiable individual. We process personal data necessary to manage the employment relationship, to engage contractors and interns and to provide benefits to certain dependents of Shell employees.

    This includes, for example, personal home contact information, date of birth, marital status, payroll and bank account information, wage and benefit information including beneficiary information, emergency contacts, work performance information and any other information necessary for managing the employment relationship, for engaging contractors and for providing benefits to certain dependents of Shell employees (such as those dependents who accompany a Shell employee while on an expatriate assignment).

    Sensitive personal data

    We also process some special categories of personal data (’sensitive personal data’) where permitted by applicable law, such as data relating to an individual’s health, their racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, political opinions and trade union membership. We collect this information for specific purposes, such as complying with employment and social security laws, (for example, laws relating to diversity and anti-discrimination), providing occupational medical advice and support, to accommodate a disability or illness and to provide benefits, to protect the vital interests of an individual (such as in an emergency), where necessary for reasons of public health, or where the individual has provided their explicit consent.

  • For what purpose do we process your personal data?

    We may process your personal data:

    • in order to satisfy our obligations to comply with local laws and regulations;
    • for legitimate business interests (for example which is performance management, in order to ensure we have qualified and competent personnel for health, safety and security purposes, to ensure our network and information are secure and that only authorised personnel can access certain sites or assets, to administer and generally conduct business within the Company and across the organization, and to prevent fraud); or
    • where we have your explicit consent.

    Please note that as a general principle, Shell does not seek or rely on the consent of Shell Staff for processing personal data. However, there are limited circumstances when consent may be sought, such as where you are participating in a voluntary program or benefit or if required for processing some categories of sensitive personal data.

    Shell seeks to process the minimum amount of personal data required. Failure to provide us with the information requested may negatively affect your ability to remain in employment, internship or engagement as a contractor, or to participate in a program or receive a benefit.

    In those cases where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This will not affect the validity of the processing prior to the withdrawal of consent. Withdrawal of consent may, however, negatively affect your ability to remain in a voluntary program or receive a benefit.

  • Monitoring

    All activities on Shell IT equipment and/or when connected to the Shell IT network may be monitored for legitimate business purposes. For further information see the personal use guidelines http://sww.shell.com/it/irm/legalandregulatory/personal_use.html.

    All Shell Staff receive an access badge which allows Shell to record the date, time and access points made by individuals within Shell premises and assets. The data from the access and security systems are used:

    • for health, safety and security purposes, specifically the protection of Shell assets, Shell Staff and visitors to Shell premises;
    • to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, specifically where there is a local legal requirement to provide information to government/regulatory authorities;
    • to monitor (on an aggregated basis) the number of individuals entering and working in a Shell premise for human resources and real estate planning; and
    • in the case of contractors only (not Shell employees) the date and time of their entry and exit of Shell premises is used for the purposes of financial management and control.

    Most of our premises and assets are equipped with surveillance cameras (CCTV). Where surveillance cameras are used they will be identified. Surveillance cameras are used for health, safety and security specifically the protection of Shell assets, Shell staff and visitors to Shell premises. All images are routinely deleted unless there has been a health, safety or security incident, or suspected or actual criminal activity, in which case they may be viewed by internal Shell investigation teams and external service providers and advisors, and if legally required or permitted by law enforcement or other government authorities.

  • Screening

    In order to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, to protect Shell’s assets and employees/contractors and to ensure that Shell can comply with trade control, anti-money laundering and/or bribery and corruption laws and other regulatory requirements, we carry out screening on all employees and contractors on a periodic basis. This screening takes place against publicly available or government issued sanctions lists and is compared with information held about you by Shell (for example from the Conflict of Interest register – see here for more information).
