Sources of Information We Collect
Job Applicants
We collect information you provide directly to us during our interactions as part of the consideration of your application for employment to specific roles at Informatica, for example when you create an account in our online recruiting system, and submit your application and resume to apply for a job. We also collect information from you during candidate screening, interview scheduling and management, background screening and verification, and to onboard you at Informatica if you receive and accept an offer of employment. We may also collect data from third parties, such as recruiting agencies, that have been designated by you. We collect data contained in your social media profile such as LinkedIn if you choose to disclose this to us. We may also collect certain personal data from third parties if you have completed an employment application and authorized us to do so or we have otherwise obtained your authorization to verify information about your credentials. We will collect information developed during our interaction with you as part of our recruiting or work relationship (such as information related to your interview or prior job performance). If you are a current Informatica employee applying for another job at Informatica, another source of applicable data may be information we already have about you, including your job performance evaluations.
Job Referrals
Informatica employees are able to use an internal recruitment platform to make job referrals to potential candidates. If you have been referred by someone for a position at Informatica, we may collect personal data from them. The person referring you will be able to see the status of your application, but Informatica does not disclose any other data about you to the referrer. Once you submit your application to Informatica, you will be considered a job applicant and we will collect personal data as described above and use it as described in the How We Use Your Information section below.
Job Leads/Prospects
Informatica may also collect data about you at industry networking events, from recruitment service providers, or from professional networking sites such as LinkedIn, for example, if we have a vacancy that is hard to fill. We only collect this data about you if you have made it available in a context in which one would reasonably understand that it may be considered for talent acquisition and recruitment, and we have plans to contact you about a job vacancy that Informatica has or may have in the future.
Types of Information We Collect
You are not obligated to provide any personal data to Informatica; however, if you decline to complete certain mandatory fields, we will not be able to accept or review your application for employment.
The categories of personal data we collect include:
- Contact information, such as your name, email address, mailing address, and phone number;
- Recruitment information, such as your resume (including education, employment, and military history), cover letter, references, employment application and notes regarding whether your qualifications are suitable for the position for which you are applying;
- Work eligibility including nationality, country of residence and visa and immigration status;
- Where required by local law or to support our diverse workplace initiatives, demographic information such as your gender and data revealing racial or ethnic origin, marital status or disability;
- Other information that supports our talent acquisition and recruitment operations, such as results of pre-employment skill tests or aptitude assessments and video interviews if applicable.
We also obtain the following information from third parties:
- Recruitment information, such as information from references, background checks, and recruiting platforms through which you have submitted your application
How We Use Your Information
In the context of recruitment and talent acquisition, Informatica processes candidates’ personal data to receive job applications, assess suitability of candidates, allow individuals to make job referrals, and keep a record of talented individuals for a limited time for future job vacancies.
We collect your information in order to communicate with you about your application or job interests, for example to update you on the status of your application, inform you about new job vacancies or invite you to virtual or in-person interviews.
We also process personal data to assess whether you are suitable for the role for which you are applying and to verify your background. If you are selected for a position at Informatica, personal data will also be used to facilitate the hiring process and may become part of your employment record, subject to a separate privacy notice. If you are not selected for a position but may be a candidate for future job opportunities, we may retain for a limited time the relevant contact and related information provided by you as part of your initial application. We may also use information from your application to analyze and improve our hiring processes and outcomes.
Legal Basis for Processing Your Data
We process personal data about you based on Informatica’s legitimate interest to find the best possible candidate for an open position, to consider your candidacy for employment, to communicate with you and to respond to your inquiries related to your job application or other recruitment-related matters.
We process sensitive personal data based on Informatica’s legitimate interest to carry out its legal obligations and exercise specific rights in the field of employment, social security, and immigration.
If you have consented to our use of your personal data for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent, but this will not affect the data processing that has already happened. Where we are using your information because we have a legitimate interest to do so, you have the right to object to that use, but in some cases, this may mean no longer being able to proceed with your job application.
How We Disclose Your Information
Informatica discloses personal data about job applicants in the following circumstances:
- With Informatica affiliates to carry out recruitment operations;
- With external third parties that support recruitment efforts on our behalf (e.g., recruitment portals or agencies, headhunters, background check and educational check vendors, consultants and IT companies);
- With legal or regulatory authorities to comply with our obligations, to protect the rights and property of Informatica, our customers, and the public, and to detect and respond to suspected illegal activity and threats to the safety of any person or of our systems or services;
- In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company; or
- With your consent and at your direction.
Transfers of Personal Data Outside the EEA
Informatica processes information in the United States and other countries. Accordingly, we and our service providers may transfer your information to, or store or access it in, jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as your home jurisdiction. Informatica generally transfers information to service providers in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United States, although in some cases those service providers may transfer information to their own service providers, or we may transfer information directly to our service providers, in other countries including Australia, Brazil, India, and Singapore. We have implemented safeguards including binding corporate rules and standard contractual clauses to ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it.
Data transferred from the EEA to Informatica and between Informatica affiliates outside the EEA will be processed pursuant to the Informatica Controller Binding Corporate Rules, a copy of which is available at https://www.informatica.com/binding-corporate-rules.html (the “BCRs”). The BCRs are incorporated by reference into this Privacy Notice and enforceable by you against Informatica. We encourage you to review the BCRs, in particular sections V (Data Protection Safeguards) and VI (The Binding Nature of the BCR), to learn more about our processing activities under the BCRs and the rights you may have under the BCRs.
Data transferred from the UK or Switzerland to countries not deemed adequate by the applicable data protection authority, or from the EEA to service providers in countries not deemed adequate by the applicable data protection authority, will be processed pursuant to appropriate safeguards, including the European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure an adequate level of protection. Copies of the standard Contractual Clauses we use to facilitate these transfers are available at Appendix 2: Informatica Standard Contractual Clauses of the Privacy Policy linked on our homepage.
