This Notice of Privacy Practices for Job Applicants (“Applicant Notice”) describes how ADAPT Community Network (“we,” “us,” or “our”) processes information in connection with our recruiting activities.

Please Note: Where a job applicant uses our products or mobile, including our websites (together, our “Services”), other terms may also be applicable to any information collected about the job applicants.
 

1. Information We Collect

When you apply for a job with us, we may collect certain information from and about you in order to evaluate and process that application.

This information may include:

• Contact information, such as name, telephone number, fax number, physical address, email, and username;
• Previous work experience, compensation, education, degrees, language, and other skills and employment-related information;
• Professional and other work-related licenses, permits, and certifications;
• Awards and professional memberships;
• Work authorization status;
• Information relating to references;
• Information from social media sites if you choose to link your application to a social media; and
• Any other information you elect to provide to us (e.g., employment preferences, willingness to relocate, and desired salary).

Sensitive Personal Information

Certain types of information are considered sensitive personal information in certain jurisdictions. This includes the following: information on race, religion, ethnicity, nationality or national origin, age, gender identity, sex, life or sexual orientation, criminal convictions and offenses, marital status, medical or health information (including disability status), genetic or biometric information, religious or philosophical beliefs, political party or trade union membership, background check information, and veteran status.

Under the New York Consumer Privacy Act (NYPA), sensitive personal information includes a consumer's racial or ethnic origin, precise geolocation, social security number, financial account number, passport number, or driver's license number. Additionally, health information, information about a consumer's sex life or sexual orientation, and biometric information are also considered sensitive.

Depending on the stage of an application, in addition to the information you provide to us, we may obtain information about you from other third parties, such as platforms used to collect application information, recruiters, references, former employers, and law enforcement agencies.

2. How We Use Information

The information that you submit during a job application process may be used for personnel recruitment, management, and planning purposes including the following:

• Analyze your qualifications for the job you applied for or future jobs that may match your profile;
• Communicate with you regarding your job application, your inquiries and requests, other job openings, or important notices;
• Conduct criminal history, background, and employment checks, if we offer you a position;
• Support our efforts to maintain a diverse workforce; and
• Comply with or monitor our compliance with any applicable law or regulation.

We may use and share information in an aggregated or de-identified manner data at our discretion, including for research, analysis, modeling, marketing, and improvement of our Services.
 

3. Accuracy of Information You Provide

You are responsible for the information you provide to Paylocity and ensuring that it is honest, truthful, accurate, and not misleading in any way.
 

4. Retention & Disposal

We retain information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, for legitimate business reasons, or as required by law. We may need to keep your data for longer than our specified retention periods to honor your requests, including to continue keeping you opted out of marketing emails, or to comply with legal or other obligations. When we dispose of information, we use secure means, such as either physically or electronically erasing information or making it anonymous in a non-recoverable manner.
 

5. Security

We implement the appropriate organizational, technical, and physical security measures and controls to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the personal information entrusted to us.
 

Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us at privacyofficer@ucpnyc.org.
