PRIVACY POLICY FOR JOB APPLICANTS
ABOUT THIS POLICY
Please carefully read this Privacy Policy before using this website. Your access to and use of this website and application for a job at LINK are conditioned on your acceptance of this Privacy Policy.
If you do not accept it, you should leave the website and not submit any information through this website.
Any relevant misrepresentation or false statements made by you in your online application may be sufficient cause for: (1) disqualification from consideration for employment with LINK; or (2) should such relevant misrepresentation or false statements affect the basis of a future employment relationship, termination from employment with LINK, as permitted by law.
SCOPE OF THIS POLICY
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “LINK” refers to LINKBANCORP, Inc., LINKBANK and all affiliated entities of the foregoing. The term "information" also includes any personal information submitted by you through the website.
APPLICANT DATA
For purposes of this Policy, your job application, personal data and any other information you submit while using this website is called “Applicant Data.”
HOW APPLICANT DATA IS USED
Your application, your personal data and any other information you submit while using this website (“Applicant Data”) will be used by LINK for job application evaluation and processing, human resources and employment purposes. Unless legally required to do otherwise, LINK will share your data only with other entities hired or retained to provide employment verification services, or human resource services providers, and always under conditions of confidentiality. LINK will not trade or sell your personal information for use by any other company without your prior consent. The information you submit will be accessible to the LINK personnel involved in the job application and recruitment processes. BY TRANSMITTING INFORMATION TO LINK VIA THIS WEBSITE, YOU EXPLICITLY CONSENT, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT LINK MAY USE THAT INFORMATION FOR JOB APPLICATION EVALUATION AND PROCESSING, HUMAN RESOURCES AND EMPLOYMENT PURPOSES, INCLUDING:
Your Applicant Data will be added to our resume database, which is currently located in the United States. In the future, this database might be re-located and stored on non-U.S. servers without prior notice.
You may be asked to voluntarily provide certain personal data (for example, your gender) for various reasons, including: 1) to meet government requirements; 2) in connection with diversity, inclusion and/or human resource initiatives or 3) if required to do so under applicable local law or regulations. LINK may disclose this “self-identification” data externally, but only in the aggregate (meaning that your personal data will not be shared) and only for limited purposes, such as to respond to customer inquiries or surveys. Self-identification data will not be used to make decisions regarding recruitment and hiring. However, if you are hired, such self-identification data may be stored in the LINK human resources management system.
WHO MIGHT ACCESS OR RECEIVE APPLICANT DATA LINK may also share your personal data with LINK personnel for further consideration. LINK may also share and transfer your personal data to an affiliate, subsidiary or unrelated company in relation to a merger, acquisition, sale or disposal. LINK may also permit third parties, such as technical personnel, to access its job applicant database for the purpose of maintenance, testing, software upgrades and the like. All such third parties will be required to sign appropriate confidentiality agreements. LINK may share your Applicant Data with other companies who provide employment verification and/or background check services.
YOUR RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA
As explained above, your personal data may be processed during the recruitment process by LINK, its affiliates and service providers, including entities not located in European Economic Area (EEA). Your responses to questions requesting your personal data are voluntary and you have the right to access, correct and/or delete your personal data by contacting hr@linkbank.com. If you request the deletion of your personal data and you are a U.S.-based candidate, it will be retained in accordance with applicable laws regarding record retention, but you may withdraw your employment application at any time and LINK will make your record inactive. Please do not submit sensitive personal data - such as information about your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, party or trade-union membership, health, genetic code, addictions or sex life, or criminal records/history - in connection with a job application or personal profile – unless it is clearly and specifically requested. If you are asked to provide any of these types of data, it will be processed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
RETENTION OF APPLICANT DATA Some jurisdictions’ laws require Applicant Data to be retained for a specific period of time. Thus, once you submit your information, it will be retained in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
