Effective Date: 9/29/2026

Enstrom Candies, Inc. (“Enstrom,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of individuals who apply for employment with our company. This Job Applicant Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, maintain, and protect personal information provided during the recruiting and hiring process.

Information We May Collect

When you apply for employment with Enstrom, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide or that is obtained as part of the recruiting and hiring process, including:

  • Name, address, telephone number, email address, and other contact information;
  • Employment history, education, training, certifications, skills, and qualifications;
  • Résumés, cover letters, applications, and other materials you submit;
  • Information provided during interviews or other communications with us;
  • Professional references and information provided by references;
  • Information necessary to evaluate your eligibility and qualifications for employment;
  • Information required to comply with applicable employment, tax, immigration, or other legal requirements; and
  • Background check or other screening information when permitted by law and applicable to the position.

We may also collect additional information after a conditional offer of employment when necessary for onboarding, payroll, benefits administration, verification of employment eligibility, or other legitimate employment purposes.

How We Use Applicant Information

We collect and use applicant information for legitimate recruiting and employment-related purposes, including to:

  • Review and evaluate your qualifications for employment;
  • Communicate with you regarding your application;
  • Schedule and conduct interviews;
  • Verify information provided during the application process;
  • Conduct reference checks and, when applicable, authorized background or other pre-employment screening;
  • Determine whether to extend an offer of employment;
  • Complete the hiring and onboarding process;
  • Maintain appropriate recruiting and employment records;
  • Consider you for other employment opportunities within the company, when appropriate; and
  • Comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws and legal obligations.

Providing personal information during the application process is generally voluntary; however, failure to provide information necessary to evaluate your qualifications or establish eligibility for employment may prevent us from completing the application or hiring process.

Sharing of Applicant Information

Applicant information is shared only as reasonably necessary for recruiting, hiring, business operations, or legal compliance.

Information may be shared with appropriate Enstrom employees involved in recruiting and hiring, such as Human Resources, hiring managers, supervisors, and company leadership.

We may also share information with service providers that assist us with recruiting, applicant tracking, background screening, technology, recordkeeping, or other employment-related services. These service providers are expected to handle applicant information appropriately and only for authorized purposes.

We may also disclose information when required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Enstrom, our employees, applicants, or others.

Enstrom does not sell applicant personal information.

Information Security

Enstrom takes reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect applicant information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Access to applicant information is limited to individuals who have a legitimate business need for the information.

Retention of Applicant Information

Applicant information may be retained after the recruiting process has concluded in accordance with applicable legal requirements, company record-retention practices, and legitimate business needs.

Information relating to an individual who becomes an employee may become part of the individual's employment records and will be maintained in accordance with Enstrom's employment recordkeeping practices.

Equal Employment Opportunity

Information collected during the application process will not be used for unlawful discriminatory purposes. Employment decisions are made in accordance with applicable equal employment opportunity and nondiscrimination laws and Enstrom's employment policies.
