The Statement describes how we process your personal data and confirms our commitment to protecting your privacy, however it may not address all possible data processing scenarios. We encourage you to read the Statement and any related supplementary information.

1 How we use your personal data

Personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify an individual (data subject), either on its own or when combined with other pieces of information.

With regard to the processing of personal data in connection with a recruitment, the applicant usually has interest in being able to apply and be eligible for the specific vacancy.

The provision of your personal data is voluntary. Failure to provide your personal data may prevent the invitation of the candidate to the further stage of the recruitment process or it may have impact on the job application processing and the candidate verification result in terms of meeting formal conditions for the recruited position.

Primarily, personal data is collected directly from you. Depending on the nature of the vacancy within Huawei for which you applied, some personal data may be collected from external or other sources to the extent permitted by applicable legislation.

1.1 Sources and Personal data we collect

1. Data you provide us with

To submit your application for a specific or prospective vacancy through our dedicated recruitment website and participate in the recruitment process, you need to create a Huawei account or profile. When doing so, you will be asked to provide account information, such as your email address and telephone number.

After setting-up your account, you may apply for the specific vacancy. The data you provide us directly as part of your application includes all data provided in your CV or resume and other personal data that we collect for the purpose of and during recruitment procedure. This data can include:

§ your name and surname, gender, address, postal code, contact information, age/date of birth, nationality, identity number;

§ work experience or other experience, education, qualifications, certificates, transcripts;

§ academic degree, professional titles, and other information required for a specific vacancy and provided by you;

§ background check information, only in cases where we have a legal obligation or a grounded reason for this data processing;

§ information from interviews and phone-screenings, if any;

§ details of the type of career prospective and employment you are or may be looking for, current and/or desired salary and other terms relating to compensation and benefits packages, willingness to relocate, or other job preferences;

§ details of how you heard about the position you are applying for; and

§ any other information you provide to us in support of your application and/or recruitment process (e.g., hobbies, personal interests, driving license).

In some countries, when recruiting for a special vacancy, we may ask your permission to collect personal data about your family members after giving you a specific reason for this and/or a legal basis. This will help us to decide whether there may be any conflict of interest.

Please make sure that you provide us only with information relevant for your recruitment application. If, in addition to the personal data listed above, you choose to provide us with further information and personal data, we will process such information and personal data only to the extent they are relevant for the recruitment process. Providing such additional personal data is voluntary and lack thereof will not affect the recruitment process.

In case you choose to submit your application for a specific or prospective vacancy through a social media platform (e.g., LinkedIn) or other local recruitment websites, you are not generally required to create a Huawei account or profile on Huawei’s recruitment website. In this case, the provisions regarding the Huawei account or profile included in this Statement shall not be applicable to you.

2. Data we get from your use of our services

When you apply through our dedicated recruitment website, we may collect system and application data from your devices, including the device name, system and application versions, regional and language settings, device version. We may also log your service access time, search query terms and the data stored in cookies on your devices.

3. Data from third parties

We may obtain data about you from publicly and commercially available sources as permitted by law. We may also collect data about you through third-party social networking services when you do things such as logging in to our websites using your Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter account, as well us from recruitment agencies that we cooperate with.

Huawei may also use service providers to perform some of the services described above, including for the purposes of the verification and running background/screening checks, as and when applicable.

4. Data from internal sources

In some cases, if it is identified that you have shared the same previous employer during the same period as a current Huawei employee, or attended the same university/school, we may request that employee to provide feedback on you or otherwise consult this matter upon.

1.2 Use of your personal data

We collect and use your personal data for the purpose of recruitment, including:

§ Identifying and contacting potential candidates;

§ Evaluating candidates for potential employment and making hiring decisions;

§ Keeping records relating to recruitment;

§ Providing you with more suitable career opportunities at Huawei;

§ Identifying candidates for future positions that may become available;

§ Making improvements to Huawei’s recruitment process including improving diversity in recruitment practices as well as its recruitment platform;

§ Complying with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes or enforceable governmental requests.

We also process your personal data based on our legitimate interest in connection to our internal statistical analysis on recruitment. It is in Huawei’s interest to develop our recruitment processes and related services to make improvements to Huawei’s application and/or recruitment process including improving diversity in recruitment practice and ensuring that only appropriately qualified staff is offered with career opportunity at Huawei. To the extent possible, we will anonymize your personal data to execute analysis activities.

In case you are offered and accept employment with Huawei, the information collected during the recruitment process will become part of your employment record.

1.3 Collection and use of non-identifiable data

Non-identifiable data refers to data that cannot be used to identify an individual. For example, we may collect aggregated statistics, such as the number of visits to our websites. The aim of collecting such data is to understand how users use our websites, products, and services. This will allow us to improve our services and better satisfy customer needs. We may, at our own discretion, collect, use, process, transfer or disclose non-identifiable data for other purposes.

We endeavour to keep your personal data and non-identifiable data separate, and use each independently. If personal data is combined with non-identifiable data, it will be treated as personal data.

2 How we use cookies and similar technologies

2.1 Cookies

To ensure that our websites function properly, we sometimes store small data files known as cookies on your devices. A cookie is a simple text file that a web server stores on your devices. Only the server that creates the cookie can retrieve or read the cookie's contents. Each cookie is unique to your web browser or mobile application. Cookies usually contain an identifier, the site name, and some numbers and characters. Cookies allow websites to store user preferences and other types of data.

Most large websites or Internet service providers use cookies in order to improve their user experience. Cookies allow websites to remember users, either for a single visit (a session cookie) or for repeated visits (a persistent cookie). Cookies allow websites to store the settings, such as language, font size, and other viewing preferences, for different devices. This means that user preferences do not need to be re-configured on each visit. If a website does not use cookies, it will treat users as being new each time they open a page. For example, if you log in to a website and move to another page, that website would no longer recognize you, and log you out.

With your consent, we process your cookie data for certain purposes. For further details on our use of cookies, please refer to Cookie settings available at our Career Portal website. You can manage or delete cookies according to your preferences. For more information, see AboutCookies.org. You can clear all cookies stored on your devices and most web browsers can be configured to block cookies. However, if you clear or block cookies, you may have to manually enter your user settings every time you visit our websites. For more information on how to change your browser settings, please visit the following links:

Internet Explorer

Google Chrome

Mozilla Firefox

Safari

Opera

2.2 Web beacons and pixel tags

In addition to cookies, we use other similar technologies such as web beacons and pixel tags on our websites. For example, when you receive an email from us, it may contain a click-through URL which links to content on our website. A web beacon is typically a transparent image that is embedded on a website or in an email. The inclusion of pixel tags in emails lets us know whether our emails have been opened. For further details on our use of beacons, please refer to Cookie settings available at our Career Portal website.

2.3 Do Not Track

Many web browsers have a Do Not Track feature, which issues Do Not Track requests to websites. Currently, the main Internet standards organization has no policy to govern how websites should respond to such requests. However, all Huawei websites do respect the Do Not Track option if it is enabled in your browser.

3 How we disclose your personal data

3.1 Disclosures to authorized partners ("our partners"):

Some of our activities are provided by recruitment, administrative and technological partners. We may share some of your personal data with our partners for the purposes of, among other things:

If you are unable to provide accurate and complete information for any reason or are unwilling to submit the personal data required for a specific position, our recruitment department may be unable to deem you fit for a specific job. This may impede you from concluding an employment/collaboration agreement with us.

5 Retention of your personal data

Unless otherwise required or permitted by laws and regulations, we endeavour not to retain your personal data for longer than it takes to complete the recruitment process.

6 How we protect your personal data

We aim to take all reasonable organizational and technical measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, modification, damage or loss. We will continue improving these measures to protect the security of your personal data. For example, we use encryptions to ensure data confidentiality; we use trusted protection mechanisms to protect data from malicious attacks; we deploy access control mechanisms to ensure only authorized personnel can access personal data; and we raise awareness among employees about the importance of protecting personal data through security and privacy protection training sessions. Although we take the utmost care to protect your personal data, please note that no security measures are completely infallible. Huawei will not be legally liable for any unauthorized access, disclosure, use, modification, damage, or loss related to your personal data if Huawei was not at fault. You shall understand and agree that we assume no liability in the following situations:

§ Huawei is required to disclose your personal data in accordance with legal procedures of legitimate government authorities. These authorities include, amongst others, tax, labor, public security, police, courts, and procuratorates.

§ Your personal data is leaked due to your actions. For example, if you share your username and password with others.

§ Your personal information is leaked, lost, stolen, or tampered with due to force majeure that affects the normal operation of the network. Such events could be caused by things such as bugs, hackers, computer viruses, or temporary closure due to government regulations.

§ Your information is leaked by a website that is linked within our website, leading to any legal disputes or related consequences.

7 How your data is transferred internationally

Huawei is a company operating worldwide. This means that your personal data may be transferred to or accessed from People’s Republic of China and other jurisdictions outside of the country or region where it was originally collected in relation to the purposes described in this Statement. For any such transfer, Huawei will ensure that your data is adequately protected by all applicable legal and regulatory requirements and will take action to ensure that the data we have collected will be processed in compliance with this Statement and local law. In case the recipient of your personal data is located in People’s Republic of China or other country outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure the adequate level of protection of your personal data with appropriate safeguards by using standard contractual model clauses approved by the European Commission.

We may share your data with the recruitment departments of our affiliates or our human resource consultants, who will contact you regarding recruitment.

For selected cases we may also ask for your explicit authorization to transfer personal data across borders, or implement security measures like data pseudonymization and anonymization prior to cross-border data transfers.

8 How the Statement is updated

Huawei reserves its right to update or amend the Statement as required. We will notify you of any changes through various channels. When changes are made to our Statement, we will post the updated Statement on our website.
