Privacy notice for applicants
A privacy notice for applicants tells job candidates clearly what personal data you collect, why you collect it, how long you keep it, and who can access it.
"I want candidates to trust us and to know exactly what happens to their resume and references."
A privacy notice for applicants is a short, plain-language statement given at application time that explains the types of personal data collected, the legal bases for processing, how data will be used and shared, retention periods, and applicants' rights.
