Harton Applicant Privacy Statement
Last updated: June 1, 2023
Scope
This Applicant Privacy Statement “Statement” applies to personal information (i.e. information about an identified or identifiable individual) we collect and process (whether electronically, in writing or orally) from applicants seeking employment with Harton, Inc. ("Harton", "we", "us" and/or "our") during the application and recruitment stage.
Information we collect and process
Harton collects personal information during the application stage which includes:
personal details such as your name;
contact information, including your email address and phone number;
professional and educational history;
certifications and skills; and
job preferences and interests.
We collect certain sensitive categories of personal information to comply with the applicable law as well as if needed for legitimate business purposes with your consent (e.g. equal opportunity compliance).
In certain instances, Harton may also collect additional information from third parties that assist us during the recruitment stage, including, where applicable, the results of credit and criminal background checks, drug and alcohol testing and other screening procedures. You may also elect to have third parties, such as social media providers, share information with us as part of the recruitment process or we may collect this information if publicly available.
The personal information collected may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. Your provision of certain information is optional, however, your failure to provide certain information may disqualify you from employment with Harton.
How we use and disclose your information
We use personal information to assess your qualifications for employment during the recruitment stage. This may include contacting you after you have applied, contacting references that you have provided and carrying out background checks. We also may use your information to comply with any applicable legal obligations, record-keeping or reporting obligations as well as to establish, exercise or defend against any legal claims.
In order to carry out the services and objectives contemplated in this Statement, your information will be shared with third parties that assist us during the recruitment process. We may also share information with third parties:
if we believe that the disclosure is required to comply with the applicable law or the legal process;
in the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale or other related transaction; and
if we believe that disclosure is required to protect the safety of our employees, the public or Harton property.
As part of our recruitment process, we may also use information you provide (on either an individual-specific or aggregated basis) to improve our application and hiring process at Harton. If you elect to do so, we may also use your information to contact you in the future.
Data transfers and centralized processing
Harton has centralized and outsourced various aspects of our business to improve how we manage and administer our recruitment process. As a result, it may be necessary to transfer your information to a country outside of the country where it was originally collected or outside of your country of residence in order to assess your qualifications for employment. These transfers may be to any Harton entity around the world as well as to third-party service providers that help Harton manage and administer its recruitment process.
Security
We have in place appropriate technical, physical and organizational security measures that are designed to protect against unauthorized access, disclosure, damage or loss of personal information. The collection, transmission and storage of information can never be guaranteed to be completely secure. However, we take steps to ensure that appropriate security safeguards are in place internally and with our third-party service providers to protect your personal information.
Retention
Subject to the applicable law, Harton will only retain your personal information for the duration of time necessary to assess your qualifications for employment or otherwise in accordance with our record retention schedules. We may retain aggregated information in order to improve our recruitment and hiring practices for a longer duration, however, that information cannot be used to identify you. You may also elect to have your information remain with Harton for a longer duration.
Access to and control of your information
We want to ensure that you have the necessary tools at your disposal to control the information that you provide to us. It is also important that you contact us to keep your information accurate and up to date. To the extent you are not able to update your information directly through our application portal or website, please contact us at careers(AT)hartontherapeutics.com Depending on your location, you may be entitled to request access to, erase, restrict and object to the processing of your personal information that is held by Harton.
