Job Applicant & Employee Privacy Policy

Overview

Hyundai America Technical Center, Inc. (“HATCI”) and our parent company and affiliates (“Hyundai” “we,” “us” or “our”) are committed to privacy and transparency. This HATCI Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process the personal information described in this Privacy Policy related to our job applicants (“Applicants”) and employees, independent contractors, interns, consultants, and other individuals who interact with HATCI in an employment-related capacity (collectively, “Employees”), as well as the rights and choices individuals have regarding such personal information. This Policy generally refers to employees and employee data, but this does not in any way indicate that an individual is our employee, it does not form any contract of employment, and it does not modify the employment terms of any candidates hired by HATCI.

Purpose of the policy

This Policy is also intended to satisfy our applicable notice requirements under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”), codified at Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1798.100– 1798.199.100 and the California Consumer Privacy Act Regulations issued thereto, Cal. Code Regs. tit. 11, div. 6, ch. 1). We may provide Applicants additional notices about our data collection practices that are covered by other laws (e.g., if we conduct a background check or extend an employment offer).

Scope of the policy

This Policy applies to the personal information that we collect and use in order to manage the limited relationship we have with our Applicants. This Policy also applies to the personal information we collect from Employees, and other individuals whose information we collect in connection with providing employment such as emergency contacts, beneficiaries, and dependents. It does not apply to protected health information, publicly available information (as defined by the CCPA), consumer credit reports and background checks, publicly available data lawfully made available from state or federal government records, or other information that is exempt under the CCPA.
