Oracle Recruiting Privacy Policy

1. INTRODUCTION

This Oracle Recruiting Privacy Policy (Privacy Policy) describes the privacy and security practices that Oracle Corporation, its subsidiaries and affiliates (Oracle, we or us) employ when collecting, using and handling (processing) personal information about you in connection with our online and offline recruitment activities. It also explains the choices you have in relation to these processing activities.

Personal information means all information that relates to an identified individual or to an identifiable individual. For example, your name, address, email address, educational and employment background, CV and job qualifications. Personal information is also referred to as information about you.

This Privacy Policy was last changed on December 13, 2023. However, the Privacy Policy may change over time to comply with legal requirements or to meet our changing business needs. The most up-to-date version of the Privacy Policy can be found on this website. In case there is an important change that we want to highlight to you, we will also inform you in another appropriate way (for example, via a pop-up on our website).

2. SCOPE

This Privacy Policy applies to Oracle’s processing of personal information of job applicants, potential candidates for employment, those who have participated in recruiting events and individualsothers who have expressed an interest in Oracle (you or your) in connection with:

• Oracle’s career portal, also referred to as Oracle Recruiting Cloud;
• Oracle’s recruiting activities more generally, conducted both offline and online via the Sites (as defined below); and
• Receiving emails that promote job events, job opportunities and other Oracle career newsletters or information and participating in surveys.

If you are a resident of the People’s Republic of China, Appendix I supplements and forms part of this Privacy Policy. For additional information about our processing activities in connection with your general use of Oracle websites and our use of cookies and similar technologies that is outside the scope of this Privacy Policy, please see our General Privacy Policy.

3. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Oracle Corporation, having its registered address at 2300 Oracle Way, Austin, TX, 78741, USA, and the local Oracle entit(y)(ies) of the countr(y)(ies) in which you applied for a job offer, are responsible for processing your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. A list of Oracle entities is available here. Please select a region and country to view the registered address and contact details of the Oracle entity or entities located in each country.

Oracle may use data analytics and algorithms to help recruiters sort through candidate and application information. Algorithms help reduce the application or resume review time and assist in identifying candidates based on professional qualifications, skills, and experience commensurate with the relevant requisition. The algorithms analyze that data and compare it to our historical data on successful and unsuccessful candidates. Automated results are always evaluated by Oracle recruiters and are never the sole source of considering a candidate for employment.

4. WHICH CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE PROCESS AND FROM WHICH SOURCES?

We process personal information that you provide directly to us, such as when you register in the Oracle Recruiting Cloud, submit a job application on the Sites, sign up to receive emails, participate in surveys, in connection with a recruiting event, or when we conduct a remote or in-person interview. We may also receive personal information about you from other sources, such as from references, in connection with background or employment checks, target companies where Oracle conducts due diligence related to a potential acquisition of your employer, and from third party sources like professional headhunters or recruiting firms, data brokers or if allowed by applicable law other sources such as Sites. Sites include, without limitation, social sites or platforms you have joined, where you have created a public page or profile or otherwise given permission so that recruiters can access and use your information. They also can include vendor sites where Oracle has invited you to participate in assessments, evaluations or online interviews. Online video interviews are subject to supplemental privacy terms.

Oracle may process the following categories of personal information for our recruitment activities as further described in Section 5 of this Privacy Policy:

• Identifiers such as name, email address, and contact details

These purposes are described below in further detail.

• To communicate with you and respond to your requests or application or to inform you about opportunities and events

If you get in touch with us (for example, through Oracle Recruiting Cloud, contact forms, sign up to receive email, contact with our recruiters, at events or via Sites) we process information about you to communicate with you about your application or job interests.

If you sign up for promotional emails, we will inform you about job opportunities and working at Oracle.

• For recruitment, evaluation, and background screening and hiring purposes

We process information about you to connect the right candidate with the right job at Oracle and evaluate whether you are the right applicant for a position. We may therefore include information about you in our recruitment databases to manage Oracle’s candidate selection and recruiting processes. If you are selected for a position at Oracle, information about you will also be used to facilitate the hiring process. Please be aware that, prior to hiring you and in order for Oracle to be able to extend an offer to you, you may be requested to complete a background check in accordance with Oracle policies and local law. For more information about this background check and the processing of information about you in connection with a background check, please see Oracle’s Background Check Process. Depending on your region, additional details regarding our use of background check information about you may also be specified in the applicable privacy notices and/or policies of our background check service provider.

Oracle may invite you to participate in assessments to evaluate your knowledge, skills, and suitability for a position. In evaluating your suitability for the position, Oracle may access your assessment and receive results and personal information from the Sites.

• To enable your use of the Oracle Recruiting Cloud

When you choose to register with us to set up an Oracle Recruiting Cloud account, we need to process your personal information so that we can create and administer your personal account. Upon creating your account, we will send you your personal login information. This personal information enables us to administer your account (such as authenticating your access or changing your password at your request).

• To analyze, develop and improve the Oracle Recruiting Cloud, our recruiting activities and Oracle products and services

In order to analyze, develop and improve Oracle Recruiting Cloud, our recruiting activities and Oracle products and services, Oracle may process information about you, for example if you encountered any problems in using Oracle Recruiting Cloud or if it is not functioning as expected. We may also process information about you to develop and test new products or system versions, patches and updates. We may also conduct surveys to collect data and see what you think about Oracle and our recruiting activities.

• To maintain the security of the Oracle Recruiting Cloud

We may use personal information about you as necessary to maintain the security of the Oracle Recruiting Cloud, and our sites, systems and networks. For example, we may process information about you when investigating suspicious activity on our sites, systems and networks.

In some cases, we may process information about you to comply with applicable laws and regulations, such as legally mandated reporting or other legal process requests.

In addition to the terms you accepted when you applied on Oracle Recruiting Cloud you hereby agree to these supplemental terms and use of your personal information as set out in these Supplemental Recruiting Privacy Policy Terms (Supplemental Privacy Policy). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Oracle Recruiting Privacy Policy (Privacy Policy), when you use a third party site or Oracle provided technology (such as Zoom) to participate in an online video interview, you consent and agree to the use of your personal information as set out in this Supplemental Privacy Policy; such third party sites or Zoom may maintain their own terms of use and privacy policies for your use of those platforms, for which Oracle disclaims any responsibility. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Privacy Policy.

Personal information captured in a video recording may include personal information such as your voice and image. Information learned about you through online interviews and evaluations used in connection therewith can include information about your personality, behavior, and suitability for a particular position. Sensitive personal information may be revealed in a video interview such as racial or ethnic origin, religion or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, membership in a trade union, political affiliation, physical or mental health or condition, commission or alleged commission of an offense or related proceedings or job evaluations or educational records. Oracle does not require and asks that you do not provide such information as part of these interviews.

If you would like Oracle to consider any accommodation, please contact Oracle at br-recruiting_br@oracle.com and Oracle may offer an accommodation, such as a phone interview, in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

Oracle will store a copy of the interview in accordance with its retention policies but will not retain the video for longer than is necessary to evaluate a candidate or as is otherwise permissible by applicable law. You understand that Oracle will not advance all candidates nor will submission of an interview guarantee a job offer. Oracle reserves the right to make an offer or deny an interview, in its sole discretion, to candidates who submit an interview through this process, or who elect an accommodation to interview through phone or in some cases, in person with an Oracle recruiter. Any candidate, who Oracle determines in its sole discretion, has tampered with a video, shares unlawful or prohibited Content or violates Oracle’s Terms of Use, understands that all Content may be used as set out in the Terms of Use, including, to provide Content to law enforcement.
