Communication data may also be used to coordinate interviews, technical discussions, onboarding-related preparation or follow-up communication.

5. Recruiting systems and applicant management

Recruiting-related data may be processed using email systems, internal recruiting workflows, applicant tracking systems (ATS), collaboration systems or future recruiting management platforms.

If external recruiting or applicant-management providers are used, they may process applicant data on our behalf according to contractual and legal requirements.

Where such information is processed, this occurs only where legally permitted or based on the applicant's voluntary submission.
