Certain personal information that may be collected during the employment application process, such as account login information and password, equal employment opportunity (“EEO”) information, and diversity information, may be considered sensitive personal information or special category data in some jurisdictions.

To help us protect your privacy, you should maintain the secrecy of your login ID and password you may have set up in connection with your application.

If we do not employ you at this time, we may retain and use the information that we obtain as part of your application process so as to be able to consider your application later if a suitable position becomes available, for general statistical analysis and reporting purposes, for legal or regulatory purposes, for the other purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, and, if appropriate, to refer back to this application if you apply again. We will store your information for five years.
