Downhole Chemical Solutions ("DCS," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This Candidate Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect personal information you provide during the application and recruitment process.

By applying for a position with DCS, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

How We Use Your Information

DCS uses your personal information for the following purposes:

• Evaluating your application — to assess your qualifications, skills, and fit for open positions
• Communicating with you — to schedule interviews, provide updates on your application status, and respond to your inquiries
• Conducting background checks and assessments — to verify information you have provided and meet legal or role-specific requirements
• Compliance — to meet our obligations under applicable employment and labor laws, including EEO reporting
• Record-keeping — to maintain records of our recruitment activities as required by law
• Future opportunities — with your consent, to consider you for future openings that may match your profile

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

• Internal personnel — hiring managers, HR staff, and interviewers involved in the recruitment process
• Third-party service providers — background check vendors, applicant tracking system providers (including Paylocity), and assessment platforms, who are contractually required to protect your data
• Legal and regulatory authorities — when required by law, court order, or government regulation
• Successor entities — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction

All third parties with whom we share your data are required to handle it in a manner consistent with this policy and applicable privacy laws.

Data Retention

If you are hired, your application information will become part of your employment record and will be retained in accordance with our employee data retention policies.

We retain candidate data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy and to comply with legal obligations. Due to the nature of our applicant tracking system, some data may be retained for extended periods. 

Data Security

DCS takes reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include access controls, encrypted data transmission, and vendor security assessments. While we work hard to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal information:

• Access — Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Correction — Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion — Request that we delete your personal information, subject to legal obligations
• Withdrawal of consent — Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time
• Opt out of future consideration — Request that your information not be retained for future job openings

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in Section 9.
