Any information you submit through the Careers Site must be true, complete and not misleading. Submitting inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information may lead to a rejection of your application during the application process or disciplinary action including immediate termination of employment. In addition, it is your responsibility to ensure that information you submit does not violate any third party’s rights.

If you provide us with personal information of a reference or any other individual as part of your application, it is your responsibility to obtain consent from that individual prior to providing the information to us.

This will usually be for up to 12 months after we have communicated to you the outcome of the recruitment process. This information will be used to consider you for opportunities at the Company and its affiliates other than the one(s) for which you apply.

Data Retention

We may retain and archive anonymised job applicant data beyond 12 months for statistical purposes.

We may remove personal information for inactive accounts from our database, subject to any applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
