For all applicant / employee data, KO is required to retain your application information for a minimum of three years. That period of time may be extended where required by law, policy, administrative or judicial activity and audit obligations. KO will retain your information as follows:

  • Profile information: For      information that you enter as part of your profile in the Clearwater      online job applicant tools, we retain that information for three years      from last activity. If you want to maintain your account, be sure to      update it periodically.
  • Unsuccessful applications: For      unsuccessful candidates, KO will retain your application information for a      period of time as defined by applicable, local law. If there is no      applicable local law, KO retains personal information for a reasonable      period of time.
  • Successful applications: For      successful candidates, KO retains your information so that it is able to      employ you. The information from your application is used for employment      purposes and handled according to internal employment policies.

In all instances, retention requirements and purging of personal information may be impacted by law or regulation, court, administrative or arbitration proceeding, or an audit requirement. In each of these instances, applicable obligations may require KO to retain data in specific circumstances for longer than indicated in this notice. Beyond the retention periods and for applicants who have requested deletion, KO may retain anonymous data for statistical purposes to understand and improve its recruitment practices.
