If you are a resident in Californiaor the European Economic Area (EEA), please note that there are specific sections further below.

COOKIES
For information about the cookies we use on the website through which you submit your application, please see our website privacy statement available at the bottom of our web page.
WHY WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA
The processing of your personal data is necessary in order to assess your recruitment, in order to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and in order to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
Where the recruitment process results in an employment, a new notice will be provided to you. We may also review your personal data and contact you as part of the recruitment for open positions. In these cases, you would be given the opportunity to confirm your interest and application before your data was processed further.
WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH
Access to your personal data is restricted to the personnel who may legitimately process your personal data for recruiting-related purposes.
This includes personnel of ADI Global and third parties involved in the recruitment process (e.g., recruitment agencies and entities involved in your drug screening and background check if applicable and where permitted by law).
YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
We rely on you to provide accurate information about you. Depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside, you may have certain rights in respect of your personal data, including the right to access and be given copies of your personal data. If required by law, we will comply with any request by you to exercise your rights in the time and manner required by law.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS RESIDENT IN CALIFORNIA
Certain U.S. states have passed specific laws relating to job applicant and employee data privacy. These currently include California (the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)). Other states have enacted or may enact similar laws that extend to employee personal information. Where any such law applies, this section supplements and, to the extent of any conflict, takes precedence over the general sections of this Recruitment Privacy Statement.
These laws (and regulations relating to them) contain additional requirements that may apply to you. Where these laws define particular terms (such as what constitutes personal information), those definitions apply to this section. We will update this section from time to time as applicable laws evolve and encourage you to review it regularly.
The Highlights
The sections below provide you with transparency over how we use your personal information, including the purposes for which we process it. To make this more understandable, we have provided non-exhaustive examples and use cases. We also describe what personal information we collect, from where we obtain it, how we use it, with whom we share it and how we determine for how long to store it. We also summarize the rights you have regarding your personal information where the laws mentioned above apply and how to exercise them.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information when we provide our products and services to you, otherwise interact with you, or use information about you. The term “personal information” (also called"personal data") means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household. It includes, for example, your name and other information relating to your use of our productsand services.
We are required under some U.S. state laws to inform you about the categories of personal information that we have collected from job applicants and/or employees within the last twelve (12) months by reference to a specific list:
Data collected by us, with examples:
(A) Identifiers - a real name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, internet protocol address, email address, account name, social security number, driver’s license number, passport number, or other similar identifiers. Use Case: When you access IT services we provide, such as applicant portals or employee sites, we collect your name and your address.
(B) Categories of personal information described in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ.Code § 1798.80(e)) - a name, signature, social security number, physical characteristics or description, address, telephone number, passport number, driver’s license or state identification card number, insurance policy number, education, employment, employment history, bank account number, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information, medical information, or health insurance information. Use Case: This category partially overlaps with Category A, above. When we pay your salary or you file required reports (for example, with benefits providers), we collect financial information.
(C) Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law - race, color, national origin, citizen status, genetic information, disability, religion, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, gender expression, age. Use Case: When you join ADI Global or apply for a job and provide your title, we will address you accordingly (for example as Mr. or Mrs. or as you instruct us).
(D) Commercial information - records of personal property, products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies. Use Case: When you use our IT systems (for example, when requesting new IT software), we collect records about your requests.
(E) Internet or other electronic network activity information - browsing history, search history, and information regarding your interaction with an internet website, application, or advertisement. Use Case: When you interact with our website, we collect information about your activity on our website.
(F) Geolocation data - physical location or movements. Use Case: Certain of our sites have card or key-based access restrictions so when you use your card/key to access the site, we collect a log of the site you entered. We do not collect geolocation from your personal mobile devices if you use our Bring-Your-Own-Device program.
(G) Sensory data - audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information. Use Case: We operate Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) at certain sites, as further explained in the CCTV notice for the relevant site. These CCTV systems can record camera feeds so when you are in view of a CCTV camera at our sites, we collect audio and video information (depending on the site).
(H) Professional or employment-related information - this includes professional or employment-related information such as job title, employer, skill set, professional interests, years of service, performance information. Use Case: As part of submitting a job application, we collect information about your skills and previous work experience, for example.
(I) Sensitive Personal Information - this includes your Social Security number, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number; account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership; the content of private communications (if you make reasonable personal use of our IT equipment in line with ADI Global's IT acceptable use policy); personal information collected and analyzed concerning your health; personal information collected and analyzed concerning your sex life or sexual orientation. Use Case: This partially overlaps with (A), (C) and (F) above. For example, as part of absence management you may provide us with information about your healthstatus.
(J) Inferences drawn from personal information listed in Categories (A) – (I) - inferences drawn from any of the personal information collected to create a profile of your preferences, characteristics, behavior, abilities, and aptitudes. Use Case: Some of our job application processes involve automated skill tests that can generate aptitude/skill profiles. Similarly, some of our IT security systems spot phishing emails or other malicious IT usage by comparing established usage patterns against current patterns.
Data not collected by us, with examples:
(K) Biometric information - imagery of the iris, retina, fingerprint, face, hand, palm, vein patterns, and voice recordings, from which an identifier template, such as a faceprint, a minutiae template, or a voiceprint, can be extracted, and keystroke patterns or rhythms, gait patterns or rhythms, and sleep, health, or exercise data that contain identifying information. Use Case: We do not collect biometric information as part of the recruitment process.
(L) Education information, as defined in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1232g; 34 C.F.R. Part 99) - records that are directly related to a student and maintained by an educational agency or institution or by a party acting for the agency or institution. For example, class lists, grades and transcripts. Note, though, that as part of a job application we may collect education-related information – this is addressed in section (B) above.
Sources of Personal Information
Below are the categories of sources from which we derived and collected personal information during the last 12 months:
Purposes of Collecting Your Personal Information
The business or commercial purposes for collecting your personal information during the last 12 months are described in our Employee Privacy Notice and related privacy notices available on our website/intranet (as applicable).
In limited cases (such as where you participate in a product trial or pilot), we collect personal information for additional purposes which we describe to you at the time you agree to participate in the trial or pilot. Also note that your normal use of our products and services outside of any employment relationship with us is covered by our general U.S. Privacy Statement (along with the U.S. State-Specific Privacy Statement) that applies to the use of our products, services, apps and websites.
Retention Periods of Your Personal Information
The period during which we store your personal information varies depending on the purpose for the processing. For example, we store personal information needed as part of the employment relationship for so long as you are our employee and, thereafter, for an additional period as required to comply with regulations and laws (for example, as part of meeting our financial auditing and Health & Safety record keeping obligations). We store your personal information as part of a job application for as long as your application is under active review, as long as you maintain a profile within our portal, as required to comply with applicable record keeping and audit requirements and as long as you choose to be contacted by us with interesting career opportunities, whichever is longer. In all other cases, we store your personal information for as long as is needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy statement, following which time it is either anonymized (where permitted by applicable law), deleted or destroyed.
Selling and Sharing Your Personal Information
We have not sold personal information in the last 12 months, nor do we use your sensitive personal information (as defined in the CPRA) for purposes other than those you would reasonably expect, as described in this U.S. State-Specific Privacy Statement.
Like most other companies we have disclosed personal information to our suppliers and (where this is part of the job application process) your service providers for one or more business purposes in accordance with our Employee Privacy Notice and related privacy notices available on our website/intranet (as applicable).
Categories of personal information disclosed for a business purpose
In the last 12 months we have disclosed the following categories of personal information for one or more of our business purposes:
Categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information for a business purpose
In the last 12 months we have disclosed personal information for one or more business purposes to the following categories of third parties:
Your Rights
If you are a job applicant and resident in a U.S. state with applicable privacy laws (including California), you have specific rights regarding your personal information.
Note that many of these rights are not absolute – that means that in some cases we may only partially fulfill your request or not at all. Also note that these rights only apply to personal information that is subject to the laws set out in the beginning of this U.S. State-specific Privacy Statement – that means that your rights as described below will not apply to the extent we have anonymized, aggregated or deidentified your personal information (so that it can no longer be reasonably linked to you) or where your personal data is otherwise not regulated by these laws (for example, health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) or personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including, but not limited to, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994, and particular sections of the Vehicle Code).
Your right to request specific personal information
You have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you, over the last 12 months. We will provide this information to you when we receive a request that can be verified as having come from you. We normally provide this information within 45 days in electronic and portable form. In some cases, we may need to extend this period for a further 45 days and in such instances, you will be notified prior to the extension.
Note that there are several exceptions to this right as described in the relevant law – this means that we will not provide specific personal information where doing so would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other individuals, for example.
Your right to request deletion
You have the right to request that we delete your personal information. We will delete the personal information to which your request applies as soon as reasonably possible when we receive a request that can be verified as having come from you.
Note that there are several exceptions to this right as described in the relevant law – this means that we will not delete all personal information in all circumstances. For example, we will not delete personal information that is necessary to:
Your right to request information about how we use personal information
You have the right to request that we disclose to you the following:
We will provide this information in respect of the last 12 months and by reference to the categories of personal information we have listed in the "Information we collect" section above. We will do this when we receive a request that can be verified as having come from you. We normally provide this information within 45 days in electronic form. In some cases, we may need to extend this period for a further 45 days and in such instances, you will be notified prior to the extension.
Your right to request information about how we share personal information
You have the right to request that we disclose to you the following:
Your right to request that we correct your data
You have the right to correct personal information relating to you that is inaccurate and that we have collected. In some cases, you can do this by going to the page on which you provided the information. You can help us to maintain the accuracy of your information by notifying us of any change to your mailing address, phone number or e-mail address.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you if you choose to exercise your rights under the laws set out above – this means that unless permitted by law, we will not do any of the following as a result of you exercising your rights under these laws:
Exercising your rights
We provide you with two ways of exercising your legal rights relating to your personal information:
Your request must (1) provide sufficient information so that we can reasonably verify who you are; and (2) describe your request in sufficient detail so that we can reasonably determine whether your request is valid and what scope it has.
Once we have received your request, we will review it to ensure it is valid. We will then attempt to verify your identity which normally involves matching one or more pieces of information you provided in your request to information we hold about you (or the person on whose behalf you submit the request). You must not obtain or seek to obtain personal information relating to other persons (unless you are duly authorized or legally entitled to do so) as this can constitute a criminal offense. Some of your rights can only be exercised twice in any 12-month period.
While we do not normally charge a fee if you choose to exercise your rights under the CCPA, we may do so if you exercise your rights in a way that is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that we will charge a fee for a particular request, we will provide you with a cost estimate in advance before completing your request.
