Your personal data will be processed for the purposes of managing Controller’s recruitment related activities, which include setting up and conducting interviews and tests for applicants, evaluating and assessing the results thereto, and as is otherwise needed in the recruitment and hiring processes. Such processing is legally permissible under the First Schedule, Part 3, Paragraph 10 of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) as necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Controller, which are the solicitation, evaluation, and selection of applicants for employment. You are responsible for ensuring that the personal data you provide is accurate and complete. If you provide us with personal data relating to another individual (for example, as a referee or emergency contact), you represent and warrant that you have obtained that individual’s consent in accordance with applicable data protection laws (including the PDPA) for us to collect, use, and disclose their personal data for the purposes described above.

Accordingly, if you are located outside of the United States, your personal data will be transferred to the United States once you submit it through this site. The Controller will ensure that such transfers are subject to arrangements that provide a standard of protection comparable to that under the PDPA.

In accordance with Section 25 of the PDPA, the Controller will cease to retain documents containing your personal data, or remove the means by which the data can be associated with you, as soon as it is no longer required for (a) the purposes for which it was collected, or (b) for legal or business purposes, including considering you for future opportunities. Under the PDPA, you have the right to request access to your personal data, to request that your personal data be rectified, and to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights or to withdraw your consent, you may contact the Controller’s data protection officer using the details above.

Please note that providing your personal data is necessary for us to evaluate your job application. If you do not provide the required personal data, or if you later withdraw your consent to its collection, use, or disclosure, the Controller will not be able to process your application, and your candidacy for employment will not be considered.
