- By clicking the “I Accept” button, you confirm that you have read C3 AI’s Applicant & Candidate Privacy Notice [https://c3.ai/c3ai-inc-applicant-and-candidate-privacy-notice] and you provide the specific consents identified below. Except where C3 AI expressly asks for your consent, C3 AI processes your personal data for recruitment on the basis of its legitimate interests and to take steps at your request before any employment relationship, and you are not required to consent to that processing: C3 AI collects your personal data for the purposes of managing C3 AI's recruitment related activities as well as for organizational planning purposes globally. Consequently, C3 AI may use your personal data in relation to the evaluation and selection of applicants including for example setting up and conducting interviews and tests, evaluating and assessing the results thereto and as is otherwise needed in the recruitment processes including the final recruitment. Some evaluations are assisted by automated tools: C3 AI uses AI-based matching to compare your application against the requirements of the role and, for some roles, an AI-based “Voice AI” tool that records and analyzes a voice screening interview. A member of our team reviews the results and makes the final decision, and no decision is made based solely on automated processing. You may request more information about the logic involved, request a review by a person, and — for voice interviews — decline to be recorded and request a standard interview instead, in each case without any penalty to your application. C3 AI does not disclose your personal data to unauthorized third parties. However, as a global corporation consisting of multiple affiliated companies in various countries, C3 AI has international sites and C3 AI uses resources located throughout the world. C3 AI may from time to time also use third parties to act on C3 AI's behalf. You agree to the fact that to the extent necessary your personal data may be transferred and/or disclosed to any company within C3 AI group of companies as well as to third parties acting on C3 AI's behalf, including also transfers to servers and databases outside the country where you provided C3 AI with your personal data. Such transfers may include for example transfers and/or disclosures outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and in the United States of America; in such cases, the transfer is based on, as applicable, the Standard Contractual Clauses (according to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914, and, for transfers from the United Kingdom, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum), the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable, or other GDPR-compliant mechanisms. You may withdraw any consent at any time, and exercise your rights of access, correction, deletion, objection, and (where applicable) your ARCO rights, by contacting C3 Legal at c3legal@c3.ai withdrawing consent will not affect processing carried out before the withdrawal. C3 AI will not retaliate against you for exercising these rights or for declining to consent. Full details of how C3 AI handles your information, how long it is kept, and your rights are set out in our Applicant & Candidate Privacy Notice [https://c3.ai/c3ai-inc-applicant-and-candidate-privacy-notice].
