Salsify, Inc., our subsidiaries and affiliated companies ("Salsify," "we," "us," and "our") are committed to protecting your privacy. This Applicant Privacy Statement ("Statement") describes the privacy practices that apply to our collection, use and disclosure of information relating to you as an identified or identifiable applicant ("Personal Data") when you ("you," "your" or "the Applicant") engage with us for employment or internship opportunities, via any method (collectively, the "Sites"), as well as how we use and share that information. We appreciate your interest in Salsify and take care to process and use your Personal Data responsibly.

If you have any questions about this Statement, please contact us at privacy@salsify.com.

Personal Data We Collect

To process your application, we ask you to provide Personal Data about yourself. You provide your information voluntarily, and you determine the extent of information you provide to Salsify. However, some information may be necessary to complete an evaluation of your application and without it our ability to consider you as a candidate may be limited.

From You

As an Applicant, you provide Salsify with certain personal data, including educational and employment background, contact information and preferences, job qualifications, work permit or visa information, and jobs or other career opportunities for which you would like to submit an application. You also may choose to provide Salsify with additional information, such as your CV, resume, or transcripts; employment references and related information; compensation information; and information about special needs or health conditions and information relating to accommodations that you may request during the recruiting process.

Sensitive personal data

Some Personal Data may be considered sensitive personal data under certain privacy laws. Sensitive personal data includes, for example, government-issued identification number, information relating to a person's race or ethnic origin, political opinions or religious beliefs, physical or mental health or condition, sexual orientation, or trade union membership. It may include information about an individual's criminal offenses or convictions, as well as any other information deemed sensitive under applicable data protection laws.

Salsify does not request sensitive Personal Data in connection with recruiting unless permitted or required by local law (for example, for equal opportunity monitoring or internal policies related to diversity and anti-discrimination). Where required by applicable data protection or privacy law, we will obtain your consent to our use of your sensitive Personal Data.

From Third Parties

Salsify may also collect information from third parties who are lawfully entitled to share your information with us, for example, in connection with a background or employment check or an employment reference. Other examples include social media sites, such as LinkedIn.

Where permitted by law and to the extent applicable, Salsify may also need to carry out background or criminal checks to determine your suitability for an open position or opportunity.

We use Greenhouse to manage our candidate experience.  To learn more about privacy practices at Greenhouse you can check the Greenhouse Privacy Policy (https://www.greenhouse.io/privacy-policy).

Automatically

We automatically gather Personal Data from our Sites, for example, from our "Salsify Careers" page where you can visit and search for open positions. For more details about the Personal Data we collect through our Sites, please see our general Privacy Policy (https://www.salsify.com/privacy-policy). 

How We Use Your Personal Data

We use your Personal Data in our application and recruitment process for purposes including:

• Assessing your qualifications, skills, and interests against our career opportunities.
• Verifying the information you or others provide and carrying out reference checks or conducting background checks.

• Preparing an offer letter, if your application is successful.
• Managing and improving our recruiting processes.
• Producing management reports containing analysis related to recruiting metrics, such as length of the recruiting process.
• Complying with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes or enforceable governmental requests.
• Proactively researching your educational and professional background and skills and contacting you if we think you would be suitable for a role with us.

We will also use your information to protect the rights and property of Salsify, our users, applicants, candidates, employees or the public as required or permitted by law.

If you are offered and accept employment with Salsify, the information collected during the application and recruitment process will become part of your employment record.

How We Share Your Personal Data

Salsify will not sell the information on your application to unaffiliated third parties for their marketing purposes. We take care to limit access to your Personal Data to only those who need access to perform their tasks and duties, and to third parties who have a legitimate purpose for accessing it. We may share Personal Data about you with third parties in the following circumstances:

• Our subsidiaries and affiliated companies, in relation to the purposes described above.
• Vendors, consultants and other service providers: We may share your Personal Data internally and with service providers, agents and other third parties; for example, recruiters, consultants, attorneys and background checking services as necessary in connection with recruiting, employment, corporate governance, acquisitions, and legal or regulatory requirements. We require these third parties to protect the information they receive with appropriate security measures and prohibit them from using the information for their own purposes or outside what is necessary to provide the service.
• Compliance with laws or any competent law enforcement body, regulatory body, government agency, court or third party: We may disclose information where we believe disclosure is necessary or required by law or regulation, to comply with legal process or government requests (including in response to public authorities to meet equal opportunity laws, national security or law enforcement requirements); or to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights.
• Business transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, acquisition, dissolution, corporate reorganization or similar event. We will inform any buyer that your information shall only be used in accordance with this Statement.
• With your consent: We may disclose your Personal Data for any purpose with your consent.

Our Legal Bases for Storing and Processing Your Personal Data

Our legal bases for processing your Personal Data in the EEA and Switzerland, in the ways described in this Statement, include:

• As necessary to prepare and enter into an employment contract with you.
• Consistent with specific consents, which you may revoke at any time.
• As necessary to comply with our legal obligations.
• To protect your vital interests or those of others.

Data with special protections. Information such as health information is subject to special protections under EU law. We may process such data where necessary to carry out our obligations or for the establishment, exercise or defense of a legal claim by us, or with your explicit consent, or for the exercising of our rights or your rights in the context of employment or social security law.

We will try to respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable, consistent with applicable law.

International Transfers of Your Personal Data

Salsify operates globally, which means personal data may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, including where we have data centers.  By using Salsify or providing personal data for any of the purposes stated above, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to, or stored in the United States, or in other countries around the world as indicated above.  Such countries may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country.

Salsify processes personal data in (i) any country where we have facilities, (ii) any country in which we engage service providers; or (iii) any country where events are held.

Residents of the European Economic Area (EEA)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), we will protect your personal information when it is transferred outside of the EEA by:

• Processing it in a territory which the European Commission has determined provides an adequate level of protection for personal information; or
• Otherwise implementing appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information, including implementing the European Commission's standard contractual clauses (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32010D0087).

Security

We take security seriously and use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to safeguard your information. But we also encourage you to take care when disclosing Personal Data online and to use tools, such as endpoint security, Internet firewalls, anti-virus and anti-spyware software, and similar technologies to protect yourself online.

Our Retention of Your Personal Data

We'll retain your Personal Data for as long as required to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and to enforce our contractual agreements, or as necessary for our legitimate interests, such as to consider you for other current and future employment opportunities at Salsify.

If you're successful in your application for a position at Salsify, we retain the information that you provide during the application process, and information about your application process, as part of your employee records.

We may also retain your resume and application details to enable consideration for future opportunities at Salsify.  If you do not want us to retain your information for consideration for other roles, or want us to update it, please contact privacy@salsify.com.  Please note, however, that we may retain some information if required by law or as necessary to protect ourselves from legal claims.
