This Applicant Privacy Policy applies to information we collect that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked with, directly or indirectly, a particular individual who is or was a job applicant to Honeybee Foods Corporation (“Personal Information”). If you choose to apply for a position with us, we may collect the following categories of Personal Information from you: 

Within the past 12 months, we have collected the above-listed categories of Personal Information from job applicants. We will not collect additional categories of Personal Information beyond those listed above without first providing you notice.

Where We Collect Your Information From 

We may collect these categories of Personal Information from the following sources: 

• Directly from you, such as from your job application and any other materials or information you provide to us during the application process. 
• From recruitment-related service providers who help us process applications. For example, as part of the application process, we may require applicants to submit their application through an outside service provider’s talent recruitment online platform that we utilize. Such service providers’ platforms contain their own privacy policies, which we do not control, and we encourage you to read to understand how they may use your information.  
• Publicly available sources, such as the Internet, social media, and public records 
• Automated tracking technologies if you visit our website or mobile app during the application process.

• Government or administrative agencies. 

How We Use Job Applicants’ Personal Information 

We collect the above-referenced categories of your Personal Information to facilitate application, interview, and hiring processes and enable us to make hiring decisions regarding qualified candidates. For example, we may use the Personal Information to: 

• Evaluate your qualifications and candidacy for the position(s) that you applied for. 
• Confirm the information submitted in your application is true and accurate. 
• Communicate with you about your application and candidacy. 
• Conduct a pre-employment background check. 
• Comply with applicable employment laws and recordkeeping requirements.

We may also use your Personal Information to fulfill other “business purposes” as defined under applicable law, such as to prevent fraud and help maintain the safety, security, and integrity of our website, mobile application, products and services, databases, and other technology assets, our facilities and stores, and our business. 

We do not collect or process any sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about you. 

How We Disclose Applicants’ Personal Information 

We will not sell or share a job applicant’s Personal Information to any third party. We may, however, disclose Personal Information we collect about you to certain service providers.

Our service providers may also include: 

• Our Affiliates: We may disclose your Personal Information to our affiliates located in the United States or internationally, such as parent, subsidiary, and/or other affiliated entities, who are acting in the capacity as our service providers. Our affiliates may provide us with support services in relation to the processing of your Personal Information in connection with the application process, to fulfill the purposes for which your Personal Information was collected. This processing activity may include providing analytic services, data storage, or similar services on our behalf. 
• Background Check Companies: Personal Information may be disclosed to our vendors who provide background check services, to facilitate routine background screening of applicants as part of our hiring process. 

We will disclose Personal Information when required or permitted by law, such as in response to subpoenas, court orders, legal process, regulatory or contractual requirements, government investigations, or discovery requests in litigation. 

If we are involved in a merger or acquisition or a corporate transaction involving the sale or assignment of some or all our business, we may disclose the Personal Information to a purchaser or a potential purchaser as part of due diligence, but such disclosure will be pursuant to a confidentiality agreement. 

Data Retention 

If we hire you, then all the Personal Information you submitted as part of your application, and any other Personal Information we collected about you during the application and hiring process, will be retained by us as a part of your employee file. We may use such information to administer the employment relationship with you, and for any other applicable legal compliance, reporting, and recordkeeping purposes. We will retain such information for the entire duration of your employment with us, and for a period of six (6) years thereafter, or for a longer period if legally required. 

If you are not hired by us, then we will retain your Personal Information for up to two (2) years after the non-hiring decision was made, unless a different retention period is required by law. During this period, your Personal Information may be used for internal recordkeeping and reporting purposes. If you apply for a new position during this period, we may use your already-submitted information as part of considering you for any new positions.
