This Privacy Policy Explains
Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to the personal information of individuals in their role as job applicants to Company (“Applicants”).

We may collect the following categories of personal information. Not all categories may be collected about every Applicant.
We collect personal information from the following categories of sources. Not all categories apply to every Applicant.
Note: This Privacy Policy does not cover background screening conducted by third-party background check vendors subject to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. Company provides a separate disclosure for such screening.
We may use the personal information we collect for one or more of the following purposes:
A. Generally Applicable Purposes

Miscellaneous Other Purposes:
B. Purposes Specific to Certain Categories of Personal Information
We may use the categories of Applicants’ personal information listed in this Section 3.B for the purposes stated below:
Purposes For Using Applicants’ Health Information:
Note: This Privacy Policy does not cover health information governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act), or California’s Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) because these laws have their own disclosure requirements.
Purposes For Using Applicants’ Protected Categories of Information:
Company collects information about race, age, national origin, disability, sex, and veteran status as necessary to comply with legal obligations, including the reporting requirements of the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Act, the Office of Federal Contracting Compliance Programs (applicable to government contractors), and state laws, and for purposes of diversity analytics.
Company also uses this personal information for purposes including: (a) with respect to disability and/or medical condition, as necessary, to comply with federal and state law related to accommodation; and (b) with respect to age, incidentally to the use of birth date for identity verification.
C. Anticipated Purposes of Use
Although Company has not used personal information for the following purposes in the past 12 months, it may do so in the future:
Company generally maintains personal information related to Applicants as confidential. However, from time to time, Company may have a legitimate business need to disclose Applicants’ personal information for one of the purposes listed in Section 3, above, to one or more of the categories of external recipients listed below. In that event, Company discloses your personal information only to the minimum extent necessary to achieve the purpose of the disclosure and only if the disclosure is permitted by applicable laws.
If Company hires you, the information collected about you during the job application process may become part of your personnel file and may be used to administer the employment relationship and for related reporting and recordkeeping purposes. Company will retain application information for the entire duration of your employment relationship with Company and for as long thereafter as permitted or required by applicable law. Company makes its document retention schedule available to employees for review.
Company will retain information of applicants who are not hired for at least one year and longer if required by applicable law, such as for four years for California residents. These records will be retained for our internal recordkeeping and reporting purposes. During this retention period, we may use your information to consider you for positions in addition to the position(s) for which you initially applied.
This Section 6 applies only to Applicants who are residents of the state of California.
The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) requires that we provide you with the following information about sales and “sharing” and disclosures of your personal information to third parties for “business purposes”, as those terms are defined in the CPRA:
No sales or sharing
Company does not sell or “share” (disclose for cross-context behavioral advertising) your personal information in connection with the HR relationship. In addition, we have no actual knowledge that we sell or share the personal information of individuals of any age in connection with the HR relationship, including the personal information of children under 16.
B. Your California Privacy Rights
Subject to applicable law, Applicants have the following rights:
Please note that the CPRA’s right to obtain “specific pieces” does not grant a right to the whole of any document that contains personal information, but only to discrete items of personal information. Moreover, Applicants have a right to know categories of sources of personal information and categories of external recipients to which personal information is disclosed, but not the individual sources or recipients.
Inferring characteristics: Company does not collect or process sensitive personal information or characteristics of protected classifications for the purpose of inferring characteristics about California residents.
Note on Deidentified Information
At times, Company converts personal information into deidentified information using reasonable measures to ensure that the deidentified information cannot be associated with the individual (“Deidentified Information”). Company maintains Deidentified Information in a deidentified form and does not attempt to reidentify it, except that Company may attempt to reidentify the information solely for the purpose of determining whether its deidentification processes ensure that the information cannot be associated with the individual.
C. How to Exercise Your Rights
Company will respond to requests to know, delete, and correct in accordance with applicable law if it can verify the identity of the individual submitting the request. You can exercise these rights in the following ways:
D. How We Will Verify Your Request:
If you submit a request through an adequately secure password-protected account that you created before the date of your request, we will use the authentication mechanisms in the account to verify your identity. Otherwise, we match personal information that you provide us against personal information we maintain in our files. The more risk entailed by the request (e.g., a request for specific pieces of personal information), the more items of personal information we may request to verify you. If we cannot verify your identity to a sufficient level of certainty to respond security to your request, we will let you know promptly and explain why we cannot verify your identity.
E. Authorized Agents
If an authorized agent submits a request on your behalf, the authorized agent must submit with the request a document signed by you that authorizes the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf. In addition, we may ask you or your authorized agent to follow the applicable process described above for verifying your identity. You can obtain our “Authorized Agent Designation” form by contacting us at DSR@swinerton.com.
In the alternative, you can provide a power of attorney compliant with the California Probate Code.
F. Company’s Non-Discrimination and Non-Retaliation Policy
Company will not unlawfully discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising your privacy rights under the California Privacy Rights Act.
If we change this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on this page and update the Privacy Policy modification date referenced in the footer of this document. If we materially change this Privacy Policy in a way that affects how we use or disclose your personal information, we will provide a prominent notice of such changes and the effective date of the changes before making them.
