Notice of Privacy Practices for Job Applicants
This Notice of Privacy Practices for Job Applicants (“Applicant Notice”) describes how Paylocity (“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.
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:
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 California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”), the following information is also defined as sensitive personal information: precise geolocation, social security number, driver's license number, state identification card number, passport number, account log-in/financial account/debit card/credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account, and the contents of a consumer's mall, email and text messages, unless the business is the intended recipient of the communication.
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.
The information that you submit during a job application process may be used for personnel recruitment, management, and planning purposes including the following:
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.
You are responsible for the information you provide to Paylocity and ensuring that it is honest, truthful, accurate, and not misleading in any way.
We may share your information in the following circumstances:
We may use various cookies, technologies, and other automated means to collect certain information about your use of our Services. For more information regarding our use of cookies, please see our Paylocity Cookie Notice.
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.
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 privacy@paylocity.com.
