What is personal information?

In this CA Applicant Notice, “personal information” is any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household.

Are our practices the same for all Applicants?

The categories of personal information we collect about you may vary based upon the position for which you are applying. The information in this Applicant Notice is intended to provide an overall description of our collection of information about Applicants.

Categories of personal information collected

How we share your personal information

We will not sell, share, or otherwise disclose your personal information for purposes unrelated to those detailed in this CA Applicant Notice without the prior consent of you, the applicant.

We may share your personal information in the following ways:

• Between Affiliated Entities. Your personal information may be disclosed among our various affiliated entities for the purposes set out in this CA Applicant Notice.
• To Third-Party Service Providers.
  • In the course of our recruitment activities, we may make certain personal information available to third parties who provide services to us to support those activities.

In such instances, your personal information may be made available to the following types of service providers:

    • Companies that help with relocation support services;
    • Companies that provide payroll support services;

California resident rights

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights:

• Right to Know/Access. You may have the right to obtain a copy, or a list of categories of the personal information that we hold about you, as well as other supplementary information, such as the purposes of processing, the categories of entities to whom we disclose your personal information, and the specific pieces of personal information we hold about you.

As mentioned above, although we do not sell your personal information for money, like many websites, we use cookies, pixels, and similar technology, and we share certain information, such as your IP address or device identifiers, to certain third-party advertisers in order to improve your user experience and to optimize our marketing activities. Under the CCPA’s broad definition of “sell”, this could be considered a sale, and it would be considered sharing of your personal information for cross-contextual behavioral advertising purposes. You have the right to direct us not to sell your personal information, and to direct us not to share or use your personal information for targeted advertising purposes. To exercise your right to opt-out, please contact us by email at privacy[at]logicmonitor.com or by phone at 805-617-3884.  You may also opt-out by using an opt-out preference signal, which we will honor and process for you in a frictionless manner. To start using an opt-out preference signal, please refer to the instructions provided here. Please note that you may still receive generalized ads after opting out of targeted advertising.
• Right to Delete. Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete the personal information that we hold about you. This right is not absolute, and we may refuse such a request if there are compelling legitimate grounds for keeping your personal information, for legitimate purposes, or as required by law. In addition, in the event your deletion request is honored, we may retain a record of your deletion as required under applicable law.
• Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. To the extent your sensitive personal information is used to infer characteristics about you, you may have the right to object to our processing of your sensitive personal information. We do not process any sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you.

You have the right not to be subject to a decision which significantly impacts your rights that is based solely on automated processing (where a decision is taken about you using an electronic system without human involvement).

• Right Against Discrimination. You have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising any of the rights described in this section. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
• Shine the Light. You have the right to ask us for a notice describing what categories of personal information we share with third parties or corporate affiliates for those third parties’ or corporate affiliates’ direct marketing purposes. That notice will identify the categories of personal information shared with third parties and used for direct marketing purposes and the name and address of the third parties that received such personal information.

Exercising your rights

Unless specified above, you may exercise these rights by following our Data Subject Request process as explained at https://www.logicmonitor.com/data-subject-request, or by emailing us at privacy[at]logicmonitor.com. When you submit a rights request, before honoring such a request, we may take additional steps as necessary and/or as required by applicable law to verify your identity.

You may authorize someone to act as your agent and submit a request on your behalf. You must supply your agent with written permission to act on your behalf, and your agent must provide proof of such authorization before we will act upon the request. If you are submitting a request to access or delete through an authorized agent, you must verify your identity directly with us, unless your authorized agent is acting pursuant to a power of attorney under applicable law.

Retention

We will keep your personal information in your personnel file, if you have been hired, for a period as may be required by the laws and regulations of the relevant jurisdiction of your employment, but no more than four (4) years from the date your employment terminates. In all other cases, we will retain your personal information for a period of up to four (4) years from the date we make an employment decision regarding your job application, unless otherwise required or authorized by applicable law. Our service providers will retain your personal information solely in accordance with our instructions and will not retain your personal information longer than the periods mentioned above. We take measures to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information if required by law or if the personal information is no longer required for the purpose for which we collected it.
