Axonius Global Job Candidate Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes Axonius, Inc. and its affiliated companies (collectively, “Axonius”, “we”, “our” or “us”) privacy practices regarding job candidates or applicants who apply or are recruited for a job with us (“Candidate”). 

Axonius is a remote-first global company, with entities in the US, the UK, Portugal and Israel. While this Notice is intended to describe the broadest range of our privacy practices globally, those practices may vary based on the local legal requirements. This Notice does not create or form part of any contract for employment or otherwise. 

We collect Personal Data directly from a Candidate (such as when a Candidate submits the job application or during the recruitment process - including interviews), indirectly from a Candidate (such as when a Candidate interacts with our website), or via third parties or sources (such as job boards and professional networking websites, Candidate’s named references, other Axonius personnel, background check providers, employment agencies and recruiters, publicly accessible sources, and our service providers). We may combine the Personal Data that the Candidate provides us with Personal Data provided via third parties and sources.

The provision of Personal Data is mostly necessary for us to consider the application (such as evidence of qualifications or work history), and we will not be able to process the application successfully if the related Personal Data is not provided. The provision of some more sensitive Personal Data is voluntary (e.g., information about ethnicity, health conditions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, and Personal Data provided through interview recordings) and will not have an impact on our consideration of the job application. The Candidate is not legally required to provide us with any Personal Data.

We, our service providers and contractors maintain, store and process Personal Data in the US, the UK, the EEA, and Israel as well as other locations as reasonably necessary for the purposes of processing listed above, or as may be required by law.

While privacy laws may vary between jurisdictions, Axonius, its service providers and contractors are committed to handling the transfer of Personal Data in accordance with any appropriate lawful mechanisms and contractual terms, including (where appropriate) standard contractual clauses or similar mechanism adopted by the EU or the UK, to ensure an adequate level of protection.

We retain Personal Data for as long as we deem reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes of processing listed above, taking into account the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We implement systems, applications, and procedures to safeguard Personal Data, to minimize the risks of theft, damage, loss, or unauthorized access or use of information. These measures provide robust, industry-standard security. To learn more about our cybersecurity program, please visit https://www.axonius.com/security-program.

In order to pursue the purposes of processing listed above, we may disclose Personal Data in the following ways:

Service providers and contractors: We may, upon the execution of a written contract, engage selected service providers, to perform services on our behalf, or contractors, to provide complementary services that help us manage the recruiting process and operate our business and, limited to this purpose, grant them access to Personal Data as necessary. Such service providers and contractors may include or be related to job boards, recruiters, interviewing and testing services, pre-employment screening, interview travel booking and expense reimbursement (where applicable), relocation (where applicable), recruitment analytics and software providers, and our business, immigration, legal, financial and compliance advisors.
