Privacy Policy

Revision 4 September 22, 2023

• Purpose and Scope

  AECOM takes your privacy seriously. Please read this privacy notice (“Notice”) carefully as it contains essential information on how and why AECOM and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “AECOM” or the “Company”) Process your Personal Data. This Notice also explains your rights concerning your “Personal Data” and how to contact Company representatives or supervisory authorities in case you have a complaint.

  Within the context of this Notice, “Personal Data” means any information relating to an individual who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that individual.

  “Personal Data” does not cover aggregated data, data rendered anonymous, or data that has been de-identified. Aggregate data relates to a group or category of individuals from which individual identities have been removed. Data is rendered anonymous if individual persons are no longer identifiable. De-identified data is data that has had identifiable elements removed, and cannot reasonably identify, relate to, describe, be capable of being associated with, or be linked, directly or indirectly, to a particular individual.

  To “Process” “Personal Data” means any operation or set of operations performed upon Personal Data, whether by automatic means or otherwise. This includes the collection, recording, organization, storage, updating or modification, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or making available in any other form, linking, alignment or combination, blocking, erasure, or destruction of Personal Data.

  The Company will only Process “Personal Data” according to this Notice unless otherwise required by applicable law. The Company takes steps to ensure the “Personal Data” collected is adequate, relevant, not excessive, processed for limited purposes, and stored for no longer than is reasonably necessary in furtherance of those purposes. The Company does not sell “Personal Data”, nor does it share it with third parties for cross-context, behavioural advertising.

  If you do not provide the information requested, we may not be able to provide the services. If you disclose any “Personal Data” relating to other people to us or to our service providers in connection with the services, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

  AECOM collects “Personal Data” directly from you – in person, by telephone, text or email, websites, and apps, or from third-party sources for various business purposes as described herein.

  When the text of this Notice or any supplemental notice is available in multiple languages, the English version is the authoritative version.
