Nozomi Networks, Inc. and its affiliates ("Nozomi Networks," "Nozomi," "we," "us," or "our") respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly.
This Job Applicant Privacy Notice ("Notice") describes how Nozomi collects, uses, discloses, transfers, and retains personal information about individuals who apply for or are considered for employment or other work opportunities with Nozomi ("Candidates" or "you").
This Notice applies to Candidates globally. Certain sections provide additional information for individuals in particular jurisdictions, including California and the European Economic Area ("EEA") and United Kingdom ("UK"). Depending on where you are located, local law may provide additional or different rights.
For purposes of applicable data protection laws, the Nozomi entity responsible for the position for which you are being considered generally acts as the controller or business responsible for your personal information. Other NOZOMI affiliates may also act as controllers where they independently determine the purposes and means of processing.
This Notice does not govern personal information collected through Nozomi 's websites for unrelated purposes or in connection with NOZOMI's sales and marketing activities. Please refer to Nozomi 's general Privacy Notice for information about those activities.
The personal information we collect depends on the position, your location, the stage of the recruitment process, and applicable law. We may collect the following categories of information:
Where appropriate for the position and permitted by applicable law, we may collect:
Where required by law, background checks or similar screening will be subject to additional notices, authorizations, or consent procedures.
Where permitted or required by applicable law, we may collect information such as:
Where such information is requested for equal opportunity or diversity monitoring, providing it is voluntary unless otherwise stated or required by law. Where appropriate, NOZOMI limits access to this information and does not use voluntarily provided equal opportunity monitoring information to determine your suitability for employment.
If you visit a Nozomi office or facility during the recruitment process, we may collect information through visitor logs, access or badge systems, security systems, and cameras for safety, security, and property-protection purposes.
We may collect other personal information you voluntarily provide during the recruitment process.
You are not required to provide personal information that we request unless otherwise indicated. However, if information is necessary to evaluate your application, comply with law, verify your eligibility for employment, or enter into an employment relationship, we may be unable to continue your application without it.
We may obtain personal information:
We may use Candidate personal information to:
We will not use Candidate personal information for purposes that are materially incompatible with the purposes described in this Notice without providing any additional notice or obtaining consent where required by applicable law.
We do not sell Candidate personal information, and we do not share Candidate personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We may disclose Candidate personal information to the following categories of recipients where reasonably necessary and permitted by law:
Recruiters, human resources personnel, hiring managers, interviewers, legal and compliance personnel, information technology and security personnel, and other Nozomi personnel and affiliates involved in recruitment, hiring, workforce planning, compliance, or administration.
Third parties that provide services on Nozomi 's behalf, including applicant tracking, recruiting, assessment, background screening, verification, electronic signature, human resources, information technology, security, and employment administration services.
Where required by law, these providers are subject to contractual obligations governing their processing and protection of personal information.
Law firms, auditors, accountants, consultants, insurers, and other professional advisors where reasonably necessary.
Government agencies, courts, regulators, law enforcement, or other parties where disclosure is required or permitted by law or is reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.
Actual or prospective purchasers, investors, lenders, advisors, and other parties involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction, subject to appropriate protections where required.
Nozomi operates internationally. Your personal information therefore may be accessed, processed, or stored in countries other than the country in which you reside, including the United States and countries in which Nozomi affiliates and service providers operate.
Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from the laws of your home jurisdiction.
Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, Nozomi uses appropriate lawful transfer mechanisms. Depending on the circumstances, these may include adequacy decisions, the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, applicable UK international data transfer mechanisms, intra-group arrangements, or other legally recognized safeguards.
Where required by applicable law, you may contact us using the information below to obtain additional information about safeguards applicable to transfers of your personal information.
We generally retain Candidate personal information for up to one year following the conclusion of the applicable recruitment process.
We may retain particular information for a longer or shorter period where required or permitted by applicable law, necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, required by a legal hold or regulatory obligation, or otherwise reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Notice.
If you become employed by Nozomi, information collected during recruitment may become part of your employment record and may be retained in accordance with Nozomi 's employee privacy and record-retention practices.
Where Nozomi wishes to retain your information to consider you for future positions beyond the period otherwise applicable to your recruitment, we will do so in accordance with applicable law and obtain consent where consent is required.
Nozomi maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized or unlawful access, use, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction.
Access to Candidate personal information is limited based on business need and appropriate authorization. No security system is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Nozomi may use technology that incorporates artificial intelligence, machine learning, automated processing, or similar functionality ("AI Tools") to support aspects of recruiting and hiring.
Depending on the position and recruitment process, AI Tools may assist with activities such as:
The particular tools and functionality used may vary by position, location, and stage of the recruitment process.
Nozomi seeks to use AI Tools in accordance with applicable privacy, employment, and anti-discrimination laws. We take measures designed to evaluate and manage privacy, fairness, security, and discrimination risks associated with these tools.
Where required by applicable law, Nozomi will provide additional information about the use of automated decision-making technology and any applicable rights, which may include rights to receive information about the processing, object to or opt out of certain processing, or request human review.
Nozomi does not intend for AI Tools to make final hiring decisions without appropriate human involvement where such use would be prohibited by applicable law.
Personal information processed through AI Tools remains subject to this Notice. Nozomi requires service providers processing such information on its behalf to process it subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.
Nothing in this section is intended to provide rights beyond those required by applicable law.
Depending on where you live or apply for employment, applicable law may provide you with rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to:
These rights are subject to applicable legal requirements, limitations, and exceptions and therefore may not apply in every jurisdiction or circumstance.
To exercise an applicable privacy right, please visit our Data Requests webpage or contact us using the information in Section 14.
We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity and authority before responding to a request. We will not unlawfully discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
This section supplements the remainder of this Notice for California residents and is intended to provide the disclosures applicable to Candidates under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended ("CCPA").
During the preceding 12 months, and as further described in Section 2, Nozomi may have collected the following categories of personal information concerning Candidates:
Nozomi collects these categories from the sources described in Section 3 and uses them for the purposes described in Section 4.
Nozomi does not sell Candidate personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Nozomi retains each category of personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the retention principles described in Section 7.
Subject to applicable exceptions and verification requirements, California residents may have rights to know/access, correct, or delete personal information and to receive information concerning NOZOMI's collection and disclosure practices. California law also provides rights relating to sale, sharing, and certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable.
Nozomi will not discriminate or retaliate against a Candidate for exercising rights provided by the CCPA.
Beginning when required by applicable California law, Nozomi will provide any additional notices and mechanisms required in connection with covered automated decision-making technology used in employment-related significant decisions.
If the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("EU GDPR") or UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR") applies to our processing of your personal data, this section provides additional information.
Depending on the processing activity, Nozomi may process your personal data because:
Our legitimate interests may include recruiting and evaluating qualified personnel, administering and improving recruitment processes, maintaining the security and integrity of our systems and facilities, preventing fraud and misconduct, workforce planning, and establishing or defending legal claims.
Where we process special category personal data, we do so only where an additional legal condition applies. Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, this may include processing necessary to carry out obligations or exercise rights in the field of employment and social security law, establish or defend legal claims, protect substantial public interests such as equality of opportunity or prevention of unlawful acts, or other grounds permitted by applicable law.
For UK Candidates, Nozomi also relies on applicable conditions under the UK Data Protection Act 2018 where required.
We process information concerning criminal convictions and offences only where authorized by applicable law and subject to any additional safeguards required by law.
Subject to applicable conditions and exceptions, you may have rights to:
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in the country where you live or work or where you believe an infringement occurred. UK Candidates may lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
In the event that Nozomi engages in solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects and applicable law provides rights concerning that processing, Nozomi will provide the information and safeguards required by applicable law.
Nozomi uses third-party service providers to support recruitment and hiring. Depending on the position, location, and stage of recruitment, these providers may include:
Not every provider is used for every Candidate or in every jurisdiction. Nozomi may add, replace, or discontinue service providers from time to time.
Where a service provider processes personal information on Nozomi's behalf, Nozomi requires appropriate privacy, confidentiality, and security protections consistent with applicable law.
