We may also receive information (which may include your personal data) from our hiring manager, from our Human Resources staff, and, from time to time, from our other employees (for instance, in the course of conducting an interview).

II. How Applicant Information is Used

Generally, we may process Applicant Information for the following purposes:

  • to administer the recruitment process, including scheduling interviews.
  • to determine your suitability for positions for which you have applied or may be suitable (and, with your permission where necessary, to notify you of additional positions in the future for which you may be suited).

AI tools may be used for the purposes listed above.

We may combine the information we collect (“aggregate”) or remove pieces of information (“de-identify”) to limit identification of any particular individual to help with goals like research and recruiting, including generating reports in an aggregated and de-identified format.

     IV. Sharing Your Personal Data

As part of a global company with affiliates in numerous countries, IFF may recruit applicants for its sites, and use resources located outside the country where you live. Your Personal Data may be shared with affiliated companies where it is reasonable and necessary to do so, such as to ensure a consistent application of standards for candidate recruitment. Within IFF, your Personal Data can be accessed by or may be disclosed internally on a need-to-know basis to persons responsible for managing or making hiring decisions, Human Resources staff, system administrators and other support teams (such as IT and Finance).

Your Personal Data may also be accessed by third parties who provide us with services relevant to your recruitment, namely: recruiters; companies that host, support and/or maintain the IT systems supporting our recruitment system; and companies that verify your references.

If your application for employment with IFF is successful and you accept a job offer from us, your Personal Data may also be shared as described in our employee privacy notice, and notably with Human Resources management, payroll and benefits systems, and the Personal Data contained in such systems may be accessible by providers of those systems, their affiliated companies and sub-contractors; tax authorities; regulatory authorities; and our lawyers, auditors, investors, consultants and other professional advisors.

IFF may also share your Personal Data with our and third parties’ advisors, and potential acquirers and investors, if it becomes involved in a reorganization, merger, consolidation, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, with any type of entity, whether public, private, foreign or local.

IFF expects all third parties to process any Personal Data disclosed to them in accordance with applicable law and contract terms, including with respect to Personal Data confidentiality and security.  Where these third parties act as a “processor” (for example, by verifying your references at our request), they carry out their tasks on our behalf and upon our instructions for the above-mentioned purposes.  In this case, your Personal Data will only be disclosed to these parties to the extent necessary to provide the required services.

      V. Security of Personal Data

We implement what we determine to be reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security standards designed to protect your Personal Data from loss, misuse, alteration, destruction or damage.

     VI. Processing and Storage of Personal Data

Your Personal Data may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and, by using the Site, you understand that your Personal Data will be transferred to countries outside of your country of residence which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country.  When transferring Personal Data to entities located in a country outside the EEA, UK or Brazil that have not received an adequacy decision from the European Commission (including the United States) or the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD), we take measures to provide adequate protection for your Personal Data. We enter into data processing agreements and data transfer agreements that include standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or the ANPD. Where applicable, you are entitled to request a copy of the relevant contract (Standard Contractual Clauses or UK equivalent) showing that appropriate safeguards have been taken to protect your Personal Data in connection with such transfer. Please contact IFF’s Privacy Officer at [email protected] to request a copy.

Where the transfer of Personal Data is subject to the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (“LGPD”), please find below consolidated information on international transfers of personal data that we may carry out.

  • Form, Duration and Specific Purpose of the international transfer: We may transfer Personal Data relating to you from Brazil via private digital communication networks, for the purposes described in Section II: How Applicant Information is Used of the Global Notice, and your Personal Data will be retained in relation to the international transfer for as long as it is necessary to fulfil such purposes, unless retention is required for compliance with legal or regulatory requirements.

See security measures described in Section V of this Supplemental EEA/UK/Brazil Notice.
  • The rights of the data subject and the means of exercising them: See Section VIII of this Supplemental EEA/UK/Brazil Notice.

     VII. Retention of Personal Data

  • Right to Erasure – You are entitled to have your Personal Data erased under specific circumstances, such as where you have withdrawn your consent, where you object to processing based on legitimate interests and where we have no overriding legitimate grounds or where Personal Data is unlawfully processed.
  • Right to Restriction of Processing – You have the right to restrict our processing of your Personal Data (that is, allow only its storage) where:
  • you contest the accuracy of the Personal Data, until we have taken sufficient steps to correct or verify its accuracy;
  • the processing is unlawful but you do not want us to erase the Personal Data;
  • we no longer need your Personal Data for the purposes of the processing, but you require such Personal Data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
  • where you have objected to processing justified on legitimate interest grounds (see below), pending verification as to whether we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing.

Where your Personal Data is subject to restriction, we will only process it with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to Object to processing justified on legitimate interest grounds – Where we are relying upon legitimate interest to process Personal Data, you have the right to object to that processing based on grounds related to your particular situation. If you object, we must stop that processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or we need to process the Personal Data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. Where we rely upon legitimate interest as a basis for processing, we believe that we can demonstrate such compelling legitimate grounds, but we will consider each case on an individual basis.

  •  Right to Withdraw Consent – In the event your Personal Data is processed on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

This CCPA Notice also does not apply to Personal Information we collect from employees, which is covered by a separate privacy notice.

Are our practices the same for all Applicants?  The categories of personal information we collect, and our use of personal information, may vary depending on the job’s role, responsibilities, or location, as well as the associated qualifications and responsibilities.
