Privacy Notice to Job Applicants

Last Updated: February 22, 2023

As part of any recruitment process, Miva Parent, LLC, and its subsidiaries ("Miva," "we," "our," "us") collect and process personal data relating to job applicants. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use that data and to meeting our data protection obligations.

What Information Do We Collect?

We collect the following categories of personal information:

Miva may collect this information in a variety of ways. For example, data might be contained in application forms, CVs or resumes, obtained from your passport or other identity documents or collected through interviews or other forms of assessment.

We may also collect personal data about you from third parties, such as background checks and references supplied by former employers. We will seek information from third parties only once a job offer to you has been made and will inform you that we are doing so.

Data will be stored in a range of different places, including your application record, HR management systems, and other IT systems (including email).

In addition, where relevant to the recruitment process, including where necessary to accommodate any disability needs or to comply with some regulatory requirements, we may also have the need to process some characteristics of protected classifications. This may include:

How Do We Use Your Personal Information?

We will use your personal information for the following purposes:

We may collect additional categories of personal information for other business-related purposes and/or use personal information collected for additional purposes, upon prior written notice to you.

What Are Our Lawful Bases for Processing Data? (EEA and UK Only)

We process your personal data for the above purposes based on the following legal bases:

Who Has Access to Data?

Your information may be shared internally for the purposes of the recruitment process. This includes members of the HR ("People Operations") and recruitment team, interviewers involved in the recruitment process, managers in the business area with a vacancy, and IT staff if access to the data is necessary for the performance of their roles.

We will not share your data with third parties unless your application for employment is successful and we make you an offer of employment. We will then share your data with former employers to obtain references for you, and employment background check providers to obtain necessary background checks.

Security of Your Personal Data

We take the security of your data seriously. We have internal policies and controls in place to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by our employees in the proper performance of their duties.

Retention of Your Personal Data

If your application for employment is unsuccessful, we will keep your data on file so that we can consider you for future job openings. If you prefer that we not retain your data for this purpose, please let us know.

If your application for employment is successful, personal data gathered during the recruitment process will be transferred to your Human Resources file (electronic and paper-based) and retained during your employment.

Upon your separation of employment with the organization, your personal information shall be retained and destroyed according to our document retention policy and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
