Applicant Privacy Policy

Jeppesen’s Commitment to Privacy

Jeppesen Sanderson Inc. (of 55 Inverness Drive East Englewood, CO 80112 United States of America) and its group of companies around the World, a list of which can be found here. (“Jeppesen”) respects the privacy of applicants and employees, and is committed to complying with applicable privacy laws. This Privacy Policy is intended to inform you about how the personal information you submit as a job applicant through this website will be handled and protected by Jeppesen.

Why We Collect and Use Your Personal Information

Jeppesen collects and uses your personal information for the purpose of determining your qualifications for employment and reaching a hiring decision, as well as to comply with applicable laws and regulations, such as laws related to the evaluation of those seeking employment, or to defend ourselves in claims under such laws, or where necessary to exercise Jeppesen’s legitimate business interests and needs, in which case care is taken to safeguard your rights and to ensure any use of your personal information is fair and lawful. Relevant portions of your personal information, if you are hired, will also be used to establish a basic employment record, establish and manage the employment relationship, and administer payroll, provide benefits, comply with tax and employment laws, where necessary obtain visas, work permits, and security clearances, and conduct other employment-related functions such as accounting, audits, and investigations concerning possible breaches of law or company policy.

The submission of your personal data is voluntary; however, it is necessary for the registration of your application and further steps in the recruitment process. We do not collect or use the personal information you submit as a job applicant for any unrelated purposes, other than where obliged or permitted by local laws to do so without informing you in advance.

You should be aware that should your consent to the processing of your personal data by Jeppesen be refused or subsequently revoked, Jeppesen may not use your personal data for the purpose of determining your potential employment with Jeppesen. In addition, any offer of employment could not remain in force following the withdrawal of your consent to process your personal information.

We do not require you to provide sensitive personal information (such as information about your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, and health or sex life). Any such information you do provide to us of your own volition will be used only in accordance with this policy.

If you are not hired for the position applied for we may keep the information you have provided for possible consideration against positions in addition to the one applied for a period of up to two years.

How We Collect Personal Information About You

Most of the personal information Jeppesen collects about you is collected directly from your resume or application, and stored on servers located in the United States or Canada. We may also collect information about you from third parties, in order to: (a) verify information about your credentials, such as prior employment and education, (b) follow-up on references that you may provide, and (c) conduct background investigations. It is Jeppesen’s policy to collect such information from third parties only with your knowledge and agreement. Should Jeppesen wish to obtain such third party information about you, and you have not completed an employment application or background authorization form authorizing us to do so, we will contact you and request your authorization to proceed.

Disclosures of Your Personal Information

The information you provide can be accessed by any member of the Jeppesen group of companies located throughout the World. These locations include countries which do not have laws protecting the use of personal information. A list of the Jeppesen entities (and their respective registered offices) that may access your data in those locations can be found here. All of the Jeppesen companies handle personal information received from applicants in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Access to your information will be restricted to those Jeppesen staff and designated agents who have a need to know the specific information in question in order to carry out their responsibilities with regard to recruitment, human resource management or employment law and to third parties who provide services to us to enable us to collect and use the personal information in the way described. Your information may also be disclosed to governmental entities in compliance with applicable law, such as to those agencies authorized to review and enforce equal opportunity laws. We do not disclose applicant information to job banks, or to other external parties.

Safeguards

Jeppesen uses appropriate administrative, technical, personnel, and physical measures to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized use or modification.

Applicants from the European Union

As part of its commitment to privacy, Jeppesen has joined the Safe Harbor Program jointly developed by the European Union and the United States (see http://www.export.gov/safeharbor/ for more information about this program, including the company’s certification to the U.S. Department of Commerce). Joining this program means that the Jeppesen companies in the United States use and protect applicant and employee personal data received from the European Union in accordance with the "Safe Harbor" data protection principles agreed to by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission.

Further, where the information provided by you is transferred by a Jeppesen company in the European Union to a Jeppesen company or agent outside of the European Union or the United States, appropriate steps are put in place to provide adequate protection for the data.

Local laws governing the handling of personal data will be followed and take precedence over Jeppesen policy.
