Intuit Global Applicant And Employee Privacy Statement

This Statement covers the following:

• All applicants and candidates for positions with Intuit as well as all individuals recruited by Intuit (“Applicants”); and
• All current and former Intuit employees, whether on-site or remote, are covered under this Statement. This includes full-time employees, seasonal employees, interns, and flextime employees. It also covers current or former members of the Board of Directors. We refer to all of these covered individuals as “Workforce Members.”

The Intuit entity you applied with, that recruited you, or that you work for (“Intuit,” “we,” “us,” “our”) is the controller of your Personal Information for purposes of this Statement. By “controller,” we mean the Intuit entity that is primarily responsible for managing your information. The Intuit entity you work for may depend on the geographical location where you are based. If you are a member of the Board of Directors, your data controller is Intuit Inc. Contact us if you have questions about which Intuit entity is the controller of your Personal Information.

Applicants and Workforce Members for an Intuit entity based in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), California or any other location with applicable data protection laws should refer to the “Applicant and Workforce Member Data Rights” section below for information about your data rights.

We collect information about you throughout your recruitment process and working relationship with Intuit. This includes information that identifies you or has the potential to identify you as a natural person (“Personal Information”). In some cases, the Personal Information we collect may include sensitive Personal Information, such as health information or racial or ethnic information, as permitted under applicable law.

Ways We Collect Personal Information:

We may collect Personal Information when you provide it to us directly; for example:

• If you are an Applicant, we may ask you to provide information to complete an employment application or supplement your candidacy for a position. This might include asking you to submit a resume or CV and/or fill out application forms. You might also provide us with your information at a job fair or recruitment event. 
• If you are an Employee, we may ask you to provide information for hiring, onboarding, and benefits, as applicable.

We may also collect Personal Information about you from an Intuit worker or a third party recruiting agency, if they refer you for a position. For example, the Intuit worker who refers you may provide us with your resume or CV or information about how they know you.

We may generate Personal Information about you as follows:

• As part of our recruitment process, including through the application and interview process. For example, we may prepare notes to evaluate your application or interview; or
• As part of our relationship with you as a Workforce Member. For example, we may generate information about your work performance as part of our workforce performance evaluations.

We also may collect Personal Information from third parties or public sources, as allowed by applicable law. For example, as part of the hiring process, we may conduct background screenings through a third-party vendor that will collect information about your past education, employment, credit and/or criminal history, and/or professional licenses or certifications. As part of our ongoing talent and workforce development activities, we also may screen social media profiles to obtain information about your work-related experience and/or interests. During our working relationship, if you are involved in an investigation, we may obtain information about the incident from witnesses who may include private parties, law enforcement or public sources like news sources.

If we are not able to collect and use certain Personal Information, we may not be able to process your application, perform the necessary steps to consider you for a position with us, or to perform our workforce operations or provide you with the full benefits of your working relationship with us.

We will respond to your requests within the time periods prescribed by applicable law. If we require additional time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period. 

When applicable, if we are relying on your consent to process your Personal Information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note however that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal.

Please be aware that you may have limited choices in your ability to request deletion of Personal Information due to Intuit’s legal obligations to retain certain information.
