Sealaska Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, Sealaska) are responsible for the privacy of its online job application and recruiting systems and any information that an individual may provide in the course of pursuing employment opportunities with Sealaska. This Job Applicant Privacy Notice covers both the electronic systems that Sealaska has implemented for job applications and the processes that some locations may use that do not involve an online system. For both approaches, Sealaska has implemented technical, administrative, and physical measures to safeguard any personal information that we may collect.

Sealaska’s online job application and recruiting systems are used for recruiting, to allow individuals to apply for employment with Sealaska, and to ensure that Sealaska complies with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in receiving employment applications. These systems are intended for visitors to review, and possibly apply for, Sealaska employment opportunities. Do not use Sealaska’s online job application and recruiting systems for any other purpose.

With limited exceptions, Sealaska only accepts applications from individuals who are at least 18 years of age. If you are under the age of 18, do not provide Sealaska with your personal information for purposes of applying for a job unless you are directed otherwise.

This Notice may be modified from time to time by posting an update. We encourage you to review this Notice on a regular basis for any changes.

What personal information might Sealaska collect?

To review postings on Sealaska’s job online application systems, communicate with Sealaska about job openings, and apply for a job with Sealaska, you will be asked to provide your personal information. The personal information that you may be asked to provide includes:

•  Name
•  Contact information, including home address, home telephone, and email address
•  Date of Birth (upon employment offer only)
•  Government identification document or number, including a drivers’ license
•  Work history
•  Education
•  Resume or CV and/or a cover letter, including any information you provide in those documents
•  Citizenship and/or permanent legal residence
•  Eligibility to work, including documentation of immigration status
•  Interest in employment opportunities
• Job specific questions that relate to the fitness of a candidate for a particular job
• References (if you provide information regarding other individuals, you must obtain their consent before providing the data to Sealaska)
•  Information that we may be required by law to ask, such as whether you have previously worked for a government agency, whether you are related to a government official, or whether you are subject to a restrictive covenant with a current or former employer
•  Whether you are, or are related to, a Sealaska shareholder
•  Information you provide to create security questions and answers used to validate your identity when you return to the website
•  Where you learned about the job opening

In the United States and U.S. territories, Sealaska is required by law to invite individuals to self-identify their ethnicity, gender, veteran status, and disability information. That information is entirely voluntary and your decision to provide or withhold any of that information will not impact how we consider you for employment.

For certain jobs and in certain locations, you may be asked to have a medical examination, hearing or vision checks, drug testing, a background check, or a criminal history check. These will only be performed with your consent, but in certain circumstances, your offer of employment may be contingent on your successful completion of one or more of these checks. Sealaska does not perform criminal history checks where prohibited from doing so by law. Sealaska may confirm the information provided in your application, such as your references, driving license and record, education and job history, without seeking your additional consent.

If you access a Sealaska online job application system on a mobile device, the website may collect information necessary to communicate with your device and provide any customization that you may request. This information may include your device identification or number, your carrier, and your location.

In addition, Sealaska may monitor user traffic patterns on its job application websites, including a user’s domain name, browser type, date and time of access, and pages viewed. Our web servers may collect the domain names but not the e-mail addresses of visitors. This information is collected in order to measure the number of visitors to our websites and to determine which areas of the website users find useful based upon the amount of traffic to particular areas. Sealaska uses this information to enhance users’ experience and to better prepare content based on the user interests.

How might Sealaska use the personal information it collects?

Any personal information collected may be used to:

•  Allow you to apply for employment with Sealaska or its affiliates and evaluate your application, including without limitation arranging for and conducting phone screening, interviews, and other applicable assessments

•  Invite you to apply for and consider you for other opportunities that may be or become available

•  Contact you with regard to an application or other opportunity or communicate changes

•  Validate reference checks, conduct background checks as appropriate, and perform denied party screening

•  Facilitate your hiring and administer your employment, if you are hired
•  Comply with legal and regulatory requirements involving job applicants, which may include providing reports to government agencies
•  Provide you with opportunities to offer feedback on your experience, such as through a survey
•  Conduct analysis on applicant trends to understand and improve Sealaska’s recruitment practices
•  Verify your identity to ensure security for one of the other purposes listed here
•  Ensure or enhance the security of Sealaska’s electronic systems
•  Protect against fraud
•  Conduct internal investigations and comply with legal obligations

With whom does Sealaska share the personal information it collects?

Sealaska will not sell or otherwise share your personal information outside the Sealaska family of companies, except to:

•  Service providers Sealaska has retained to perform services on our behalf. Sealaska will only share your personal information with service providers with whom Sealaska has contractually restricted from using or disclosing the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements
•  Comply with legal obligations, including if we are required to do so by law, in response to a legitimate legal request from law enforcement authorities or other government regulators
•  Investigate suspected or actual illegal activity
•  Prevent physical harm or financial loss
•  Support the sale or transfer of all or a portion of our business or assets (including through bankruptcy)

Sealaska has several service providers that assist with its online job application systems. These providers manage the websites, provide back-up storage, assist with job postings, enable video interviews, and facilitate recruitment of candidates. Sealaska may also use other service providers, but any service provider utilized will be for the purposes identified in this Notice and will provide services under a contract as mentioned above.

Where does Sealaska store your personal information?

Because Sealaska has locations in different countries, we may transfer your information from one legal entity to another or from one country to another in order to accomplish the purposes listed above. We will transfer your personal information consistent with applicable legal requirements and only to the extent necessary for the purposes set forth above.

How long does Sealaska retain your personal information?

For unsuccessful candidates, Sealaska will retain your application information for a maximum of three years from the date of last activity, except where law or regulation, court, administrative or arbitration proceeding, or an audit requirement requires otherwise. For successful candidates, Sealaska retains your information according to the Employee Privacy Notice.

If you would like to have your personal information updated, corrected or deleted, email HRupdate@sealaska.com. Unless applicable law or regulation, court, administrative or arbitration proceeding, or an audit requirement prevents deletion,

Sealaska will delete your personal information within a reasonable period of time and keep only a log of your name, the date of your request, the job(s) for which you applied, and the country from which you applied. Sealaska retains this information to demonstrate that it has complied with your request.

Beyond the retention periods and for applicants who have requested deletion, Sealaska may retain anonymous data for statistical purposes to understand and improve its recruitment practices.

What choices do you have about how Sealaska uses your personal information?

You have the choice about whether or not to provide Sealaska with your personal information, but if you choose not to provide your information, Sealaska will be unable to consider you for a position. Sealaska asks only for information that it requires to evaluate your for a position to which you may apply, to authenticate you when you log into our online application systems, and as may be required by applicable law.

How does Sealaska use cookies or other tracking technologies?
