Effective Date: June 12, 2026
This Applicant Privacy Policy explains how the Company collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal information relating to individuals who apply for employment with us. It also describes the choices and rights that applicants may have under applicable law. This policy applies to job applicants, candidates, interviewees, and individuals who participate in our recruiting process.
Depending on the role and the stage of the hiring process, we may collect the following categories of information:
· Contact details, such as your name, address, email address, and phone number.
· Application materials, such as your resume, cover letter, employment history, education, certifications, licenses, writing samples, and references.
· Recruiting information, such as the position applied for, interview notes, scheduling details, recruiter communications, and assessment results.
· Eligibility and compliance information, such as work authorization, availability, compensation expectations, and information needed to meet legal or regulatory obligations.
· Background screening and reference check information, where permitted by law and relevant to the role.
· Technical information collected through our careers site or application systems, such as device, browser, IP address, and usage data, subject to applicable notices and settings.
· Voluntary demographic or accommodation-related information, where permitted or required by law, such as equal employment opportunity self-identification information or information you provide in connection with a request for reasonable accommodation.
We may collect personal information directly from you, from recruiters or referral sources, from former employers or references you authorize us to contact, from publicly available professional sources, from background check providers, and from service providers that support our recruiting and hiring process.
We use applicant information for legitimate business and legal purposes related to recruitment and hiring, including to:
· Review qualifications and assess suitability for current and future opportunities.
· Communicate with you about your application, interviews, and potential employment.
· Verify information you provide and conduct screening or reference checks where permitted.
· Meet legal, regulatory, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements.
· Maintain the security and integrity of our systems, facilities, and hiring process.
· Improve our recruiting operations, candidate experience, and workforce planning.
· Consider and respond to requests for reasonable accommodation.
We may share applicant information on a need-to-know basis with our employees, hiring managers, human resources personnel, recruiters, interviewers, affiliates, and service providers that help us administer recruiting, application tracking, scheduling, screening, background checks, or information technology services. We may also disclose information to government authorities, regulators, courts, or other third parties when required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or reorganization.
We retain applicant information for as long as reasonably necessary to manage the hiring process, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and maintain appropriate business records. In many cases, hiring-related records are retained for at least one year from the date the record is created or the relevant hiring decision, whichever is later. If a claim, charge, audit, litigation hold, or similar matter applies, we may retain information longer as required or appropriate.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect applicant information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to request access, correction, deletion, or information about our privacy practices. You may also have the right not to be discriminated or retaliated against for exercising applicable privacy rights. Some rights may be limited by law or subject to exceptions.
To make a privacy-related request or ask questions about this policy, applicants may contact the Company using the contact information listed below. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.
If you request an accommodation during the recruiting process, we may collect information necessary to evaluate and respond to your request in accordance with applicable law. We ask that applicants do not provide medical or other highly sensitive information unless specifically requested or necessary for a lawful purpose.
We may update this Applicant Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or business needs. When we do, we will update the effective date above and post the revised version through appropriate channels.
