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, 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.

 

DATA COLLECTION

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.
