Arena (“we” or “us”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains the kinds of information we may collect about you when you apply for a position at one of our clients and why, and how we handle that information. By applying for this job and progressing through this application, you agree to this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service located at www.arena.io which are incorporated into this Policy by this reference. This Privacy Policy describes the following:
- Why we collect information about you;
- What personally identifiable information we collect about you;
- How we store your data;
- With whom we may share the information;
- Privacy Policy updates;
- Do not Track disclosure and disclaimer; and
- How to contact Arena if you have questions.
Why do you collect information about me?
You are applying for a position with Arena’s client, and Arena, on the client’s behalf, predicts the likelihood of applicant success in different roles inside the organization. Accordingly, we will predict the likelihood you will succeed in the position to which you have applied, and we will also predict the likelihood you will succeed in any of the other roles in the organization whether or not you have actively applied to them. The organization to which you are applying will thus be able to help you navigate to the positions in the organization where you are most likely to thrive and be happy. Our application is not intended for the use by children under the age of 18, and such persons are not authorized to use our application without parental or guardian consent. By using the application, you represent that you are 18 years of age or older.
What kinds of information will you collect on me?
We will collect information you have submitted through this process, including your resume and background information, and including how you respond to questions you answer through this process. We may also collect information on you in the public domain that you do not provide directly to us, and we may collect information about the way in which you interact with these sites, including the device you use to access our application and how you use that device while accessing our application. We also collect contact information about you so that we may provide information related to your application and alert you about service-related announcements (such as when we must temporarily suspend our service for maintenance). We will not collect financially sensitive information, such as social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and bank account or credit card numbers, and if we collect demographic information such as gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation we will use that only to validate that our predictions are reducing any implicit bias in the hiring process.
How is my data stored?
The data we collect under this Privacy Policy will be stored on our servers and other systems using a variety of technologies to encrypt and secure your information to prevent access by unauthorized parties. While we believe and intend that our information security practices reflect good practice, there is no such thing as perfect information security. As such, though our systems will be secured using industry standard or leading methods, given that frequently it is the acquisition of user credentials and devices that are the cause of security breaches, users assume the risk of security breaches and all consequences resulting from them. Please always be sure to safeguard your devices and credentials.
Will you share my information?
No, other than as follows:
- to our client to whom you have applied to a job;
- to one or more third parties Arena uses to create and maintain the application and provide related services; and
- in the event that our business is acquired in whole or part by another company, then to that company, but disclosure of your information will be subject to this Policy.
Otherwise, we will disclose your personally identifiable information to a third party only with your consent or if we are compelled to do so by law. We will use your information together with the information from everyone else who uses our system to improve our predictions and our products, but that usage will always ensure that your information is only used in a de-identified format and in the aggregate with other users’ data so that you are not individually identifiable.
Do Not Track Disclosure and disclaimer
We do not take any specific technical measures to respond to “Do Not Track” settings in your internet browser. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices on any non-Arena websites or the data practices of any of Arena’s clients. Please review the privacy policies of the organizations to which you are submitting applications.
Will this Privacy Policy ever change?
We may need to update this Policy to reflect changes in what we do and in applicable laws. We will, however, always maintain our commitment to respect your privacy. We will post any revisions to this Policy on our website so that you can see any changes that were necessary. Those revisions will apply both to data you provide going forward and to data we have already collected, and of course your usage of the system with that revised Policy will constitute your agreement with that revised Policy.
How do I contact Arena with questions?
