• The Right to Know and Access.  You have the right to request to know and access the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, dating back to January 1, 2022.  You also have the right to know the sources from which personal information is collected and the business or commercial purpose for collecting it.  In most instances, the information we have collected will be that which you provided by creating an account and logging into on our official recruitment website, hosted on the Phenom platform or during a job interview.  You can log in and view your profile and contact information, your application materials (such as your resume, cover letter, references, etc.) and the positions to which you have applied.

A.  Data Security

We care about the safety and security of your information and are committed to protecting it. We have adopted technical, administrative, and physical security measures to help protect your information from loss, interference, misuse, unauthorized access, alteration, and disclosure. We have also put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.  

Please be aware that third-party recruiting sites are vulnerable to scam job postings. Solicitations from these sites or people falsely representing Campbell’s may result in an attempt to obtain your personal information. All Campbell’s positions are listed on our official recruitment website.

Please note that no data transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  We urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal information while you are on the Internet.  At a minimum, we encourage you to make sure that you are using a secure browser as you surf the Internet.  Please also visit the website of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission for information regarding online privacy and security and how to protect yourself from identity theft. 

B.  Data Retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we have collected it and to satisfy any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. 

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your information, the purposes for which we process your information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal and regulatory requirements. 

The Company retains the information it receives about you for a period of ten years following the end of employment, and a period of three years if an offer of employment is not made, unless a shorter or longer period is required by California or federal law. The Company may also keep personal information as we reasonably determine to be necessary to exercise or preserve our legal rights, or comply with other legal obligations we might have, such as in connection with litigation.
