  • To provide training and professional development services to Personnel.
  • To track, manage and process Personnel expenses, and other company finances submitted by or related to Personnel.
  • To monitor compliance with our IT and data security/use policies, for example, to ensure that confidential information is not sent outside the network, or to ensure the proper use of employer-provided technologies (including communications). Note: such processing may include access by Xanterra to the content of communications sent using Xanterra equipment or services.
  • To manage Personnel and improve internal processes and systems, for example, to monitor attendance and productivity, and create records of Personnel certifications, disciplinary history, and other records not required by law.
  • To provide communications services to Personnel, as well as providing on-site and remote networking such as VPNs, Wi-Fi, and related logins, and when we monitor the operation and security of those services.
  • To provide and manage hardware, and software applications that are used in business operations, e.g. when a user is assigned a given device (e.g. a laptop or computer), or user account (e.g. for software or SaaS services).
  • To support Personnel’s use of essential or important technology services, e.g. when we provide technical support.
  • For physical and information security purposes, we may process Personal Data when we monitor and filter network traffic, scan communications for malware, and use video monitoring in our facilities.

 
We may also process Personal Data whenever it is strictly necessary in connection with certain activity, such as:

  • To maintain a relationship or fulfill a contract – for example, processing Personal Data to pay our Personnel or reimburse expenses, as part of essential employment records, and any processing of Personal Data that you may provide in connection with benefits (such as insurance or retirement accounts).
  • To comply with Xanterra’s legal obligations – for example, processing immunization status and other health-related Personal Data in order to provide a safer working environment for our Personnel and our guests, sharing Personal Data with regulatory agencies in connection with tax and income reporting, and providing Personal Data in response to legal requests or for regulatory or law enforcement purposes.
  • To protect vital interests of individuals – for example, using Personal Data to contact individuals in an emergency, to provide information in connection with health and safety incidents, or in order to ensure the health, safety and welfare of our Personnel and guests.

We process Special Category information only when permitted by law. For example:

  • When in the public interest or required by law, e.g. in connection with legal and regulatory reporting requirements relating to taxation, public health, etc., including as needed to ensure all Personnel and guests (in some locations) have received COVID-19 vaccinations or have passed other applicable health screening measures.
  • To protect an individual’s vital interests when consent cannot be obtained, e.g. in a workplace injury.
  • In connection with our rights and obligations under law, e.g. in connection with legal reporting requirements.
  • As may be necessary for the defense of legal claims, e.g. potential claims that we have not provided a safe environment, or claims that may arise from charges of not complying with legal requirements.

 
Finally, we may process any Personal Data in accordance with your consent, for example, in connection with your participation in an optional program, event, or other endeavor. You also have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. However, in some cases, we may continue to process the Personal Data where we have another legal basis for doing so, such as described above.
