E. Special Information for California Residents

If you are a California resident, you have the right under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA") to receive notice of the categories of personal information we collect, the purposes for which those categories of personal information will be used, and how we determine the length of time for which the personal information is maintained.

Collection, Use, and Retention - Job Candidates

We collect personal information subject to the CCPA when we receive an application from a candidate located in California.
California law requires us to provide information regarding the criteria we use to determine the length of time for which we retain personal information. Information processed in connection with job applications is retained for a reasonable period of time following completion of the evaluation process due to legal requirements and to allow us to analyze and improve our recruitment processes. If you receive and accept an offer of employment, we may retain your application materials as part of your employee records.
We utilize the following criteria to determine the length of time for which we retain job application information:

  • The business purposes for which the information is used, and the length of time for which the information is required to achieve those purposes;
  • Whether we are required to retain the information type in order to comply with legal obligations or contractual commitments, to defend against potential legal claims, or as otherwise necessary to investigate theft or other activities potentially in violation of Constellation’s policies and procedures applicable to you or against the law, to ensure a secure online environment, or to protect health and safety;
  • The privacy impact of ongoing retention on the consumer; and  
  • The manner in which information is maintained and flows through our systems, and how best to manage the lifecycle of information in light of the volume and complexity of the systems in our infrastructure.

All retention criteria are applied similarly to all categories listed below.

The following chart describes our practices with regard to the collection and use of personal information. We use categories to describe the information we process that are listed in the CCPA. Certain personal information may fall into multiple categories. Some of the categories include very different types of information. As a result, how we use and how long we keep the information within each category will vary.

The examples of personal information listed below are illustrative and do not represent a complete description of the information we process.
