We will only disclose your personal information to third parties where required by law or to our employees, contractors, designated agents, or third-party service providers who require such information to assist us with administering the recruitment process, including third-party service providers. We may use third-party service providers for various purposes, including, but not limited to, obtaining employment verification and background checks and data storage or hosting.

We require all our third-party service providers, by written contract, to implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information consistent with our policies and any data security obligations applicable to us. We do not permit our third-party service providers to process your personal information for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal information for specified purposes in accordance with our instructions.

  • During emergency situations or where necessary to protect the safety of persons.
  • Where the personal information is publicly available.
  • If a business transfer or change in ownership occurs and the disclosure is necessary to complete the transaction. In these circumstances, we will limit data sharing to what is absolutely necessary, and we will anonymize the data where possible.
  • For additional purposes with your consent where such consent is required by law.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

Where permitted by applicable law, we may transfer the personal information we collect about you to the United States and other jurisdictions that may not be deemed to provide the same level of data protection as your home country for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice.

Data Security

We have implemented appropriate physical, technical, and organizational security measures designed to secure your personal information against accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. In addition, we limit access to personal information to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties that have a legitimate business need for such access.

Data Retention

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, as required to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, or as necessary to resolve disputes. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider our statutory obligations, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means. In our data retention policy, we specify the retention periods for your personal information.

Under some circumstances we may anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you. We reserve the right to use such anonymous and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose without further notice to you or your consent.

If you are offered and accept employment with Gojob, the personal information we collected during the application and recruitment process will become part of your employment record, and we may use it in connection with your employment consistent with our employee personal information policies. If you do not become an employee, or, once you are no longer an employee of Gojob, we will retain and securely destroy your personal information in accordance with our document retention policy and applicable laws and regulations.

If you are offered and accept employment with another company through Gojob, the personal information we collected during the application and recruitment process will be transferred to your employer and may become part of your employment record, and they may use it in connection with your employment consistent with their employee personal information policies. If you do not become an employee of another company through Gojob, we will retain and securely destroy your personal information in accordance with our document retention policy and applicable laws and regulations.

Rights of Access, Correction, Deletion, and Objection

The personal information we hold about you must be accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during the recruitment process. By law you may have the right to request access to, correct, and erase the personal information that we hold about you or object to the processing of your personal information under certain circumstances.
