1. What data do we collect, how do we collect it, and how do we use it?

Throughout the application and recruitment process, you may provide us (or we may otherwise have access to) personal data about you, such as your identifying data, contact details, resume/CV, work-related data, recommendations, social media activity, etc. We may collect this data directly from you, as you provide it voluntarily through your application and candidacy review process, or from other sources such as recruitment agencies, background check services (as applicable and subject to applicable law), or your references.

In some regions, we may also require you to submit sensitive data such as ethnicity, gender, and whether you have a disability, to ensure our compliance with our legal obligations under applicable law. We may also collect sensitive data about your prior criminal convictions and offences as part of our background checks for specific roles if permitted or required by law.
