1. Introduction
InterSystems Corporation and the InterSystems entity considering you for a position (“InterSystems,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respect your privacy as a job applicant or candidate (“you”) for a position within our global organization. This Candidate Privacy Statement (“Statement”) describes how we collect, use, retain, disclose, transfer, and secure your personal information during the recruitment process.
This Statement applies globally and incorporates specific provisions based on regional, national, and state laws. By submitting your application or participating in our recruitment process, you acknowledge that we process your personal information as described in this Statement. Where consent is required, we will request it separately. For general privacy practices unrelated to recruitment, refer to the InterSystems Privacy Statement.
2. How We Collect Your Personal Information
We Collect Your Personal Information Through:
- Direct Submission: Information you provide when applying online, submitting a resume, or participating in interviews.
- Third Parties: Data from recruitment agencies, background check providers, references, employee referrals, job boards, professional networking platforms, and publicly available professional sources.
- Automatic Collection: Data from cookies and analytics when accessing our careers website. Please review the InterSystems Corporation Website Cookies page.
Examples of Personal Information Collected:
- Identifiers: Name, email address, phone number.
- Employment Data: Resume/CV, work history, references, certifications.
- Educational Data: Academic qualifications, certifications, skills.
- Sensitive Personal Information (where permitted): Voluntary demographic information, disability or accommodation information, health information relevant to accommodations, work authorization information and supporting documentation, and criminal records where legally permitted.
- Technological Data: IP address, device information, and usage analytics.
- Interview and Assessment Data: Interview notes, assessment results, and test scores.
3. How We Use Your Personal Information
What Your Personal Information Is Used For:
- Recruitment Processes:
- Managing your application.
- Evaluating your suitability for a role.
- Communicating interview updates.
- Conducting background checks (where legally permissible).
- Preparing offers of employment and employment contracts.
- Compliance: Fulfilling legal and regulatory obligations.
- Talent Pools: Retaining your information for consideration for future opportunities, with consent where required.
De-identified or aggregated data may be used for recruitment analytics and improving processes.
Depending on your location, we process your personal information based on legal bases such as necessary steps related to a potential employment contract, legal obligations, legitimate interests in recruitment and workforce management, consent where required, and the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. We process sensitive personal information only where permitted by law, such as with consent where required, to comply with employment or legal obligations, provide accommodations, protect health or safety, prevent fraud or ensure security, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
4. Recipients, Transfer, and Disclosure of Your Information
How Your Personal Information May Be Shared:
- Internally: With authorized personnel like HR and legal teams, hiring managers, and IT staff.
- Externally: Service providers (e.g., recruitment agencies, applicant tracking systems, background check vendors, assessment providers, and professional advisors), and public authorities to comply with legal obligations.
- In Business Transactions: During mergers, acquisitions, or reorganizations.
International Data Transfers
We process your personal information in the United States and other countries worldwide. While privacy laws differ across regions, we are dedicated to implementing strong safeguards to protect your personal information and uphold your rights, regardless of where your data is handled.
- Transfers to countries with an adequacy decision: If we transfer your data to a country recognized as having adequate data protection laws (as determined by authorities like the European Commission), we rely on that recognition. For example, we adhere to the privacy principles established by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-US DPF, and the Swiss-US DPF for transferring personal information to the United States.
Transfers to other countries: If your personal information is transferred to a country without an adequacy decision, we rely on internationally recognized safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) ( SCCs Controller-to-Controller and SCCs Processor-to-Processor), the UK Information Commissioner’s Office International Data Transfer Agreement ( IDTA Controller-to-Controller), and Brazil’s LGPD standard contractual clauses ( LGPDSCC-US and LGPDSCC-CL), where applicable.
If necessary, we implement additional contractual, technical, and organizational measures to ensure that personal information transferred is subject to an essentially equivalent level of protection.
- Your protection across borders: No matter where your data is transferred, we use safeguards designed to protect it in accordance with applicable law.
For more information about how your personal information is managed in specific regions, please refer to Section 9. Additional Region-Specific Disclosures.
5. Retention of Your Information
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or as permitted by your consent. Retention periods are determined based on applicable laws, statutory obligations, the role and recruitment process, and our internal data retention policies.
Data Categories Retained
- Personal Information: Full name and contact details.
- Recruitment Data: Applications, resumes, references, interview notes, performance assessments, assessment results, and test scores.
- Metrics: Recruitment statistics.
Extended Retention
If you consent to retaining your information for future opportunities, or if retention is otherwise permitted by law, we will keep it for the applicable period or until you withdraw your consent, where applicable.
When the applicable retention period ends or you withdraw consent on which retention is based, we will delete or de-identify your information, unless further retention is necessary for another lawful purpose, such as complying with legal obligations or defending legal claims. If immediate deletion or de-identification is not feasible (e.g., due to backups), we will implement safeguards to restrict access and prevent active use of the data until it can be fully removed.
If you are hired, relevant information collected during recruitment may become part of your employment record and be handled under the applicable InterSystems Employee Data Protection Notice.
6. Your Privacy Rights
