We also collect personal information from our employees and from job applicants (human resource data) in connection with the administration of our human resources programs and functions. These programs and functions include, but are not limited to: job applications and hiring programs, compensation and benefits program, performance appraisals, training, access to our facilities and computer networks, employee profiles, employee directories, human resource recordkeeping, and other employment-related purposes.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
