This Candidate Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how Claroty Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Claroty,” “we,” or “us”) collect, use, and protect information during our application and recruitment process. Your use of our services is governed by any applicable terms and our Privacy Policy.
Subject to applicable law, we may collect personal information from you during the application and recruitment process, including:
- Your name, physical address, email address, telephone number and other contact information
- Your resume, CV, cover letter, previous and/or relevant work experience or other experience, education, transcripts, or other information you provide
- Information from interviews and phone-screenings
- Details related to any current or potential career opportunities, current and/or desired salary and other terms relating to compensation and benefits packages, and other job preferences
- Sensitive and/or demographic information processed during the application and recruitment process such as your gender, citizenship and/or nationality, medical or health information, and/or racial or ethnic origin;
- Reference information and/or information received from background checks (where applicable), including information provided by third parties;
- Information from publicly available sources, such as social media platforms (e.g. your social media handle) and professional networking sites (e.g. your LinkedIn profile) that we believe is relevant to your application or a potential future application; and/or
- Information related to any assessment you may take as part of the interview screening process.
We use your information for the purposes of carrying out our application and recruitment process to:
- Assess your skills, qualifications and interests related to our career opportunities
- Verify your information, carry out reference checks, and conduct background checks
- Communicate with you about the recruitment process and/or your application(s)
- Prepare or submit reports as required under any local laws and/or regulations, where applicable
- Assist you with obtaining an immigration visa or work permit where required and requested by you
- Improve our application and recruitment process
- Comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes or enforceable governmental requests; and/or
- Conduct research about your educational and professional background and skills and contact you if we think you would be suitable for a role with us
We will also use your information to protect our rights and property, our users, applicants, candidates, employees or the public as required or permitted by law.
If you are offered and accept employment with us, the information collected during the application and recruitment process may become part of your employment record.
We typically collect or use personal information from you or others where it is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, or where applicable, where we have obtained your consent to process for a specific purpose. We may have a legal obligation to collect or retain personal information or need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person. When we process sensitive personal information about you, we will make sure that one or more of the lawful bases for processing sensitive personal information, as described in this Policy, applies.
We may share your information with our affiliates, subsidiaries or joint ventures in the United States and in other jurisdictions for the purposes described in this Policy. If you have been referred for a job at Claroty by a current Claroty employee, with your consent, we may inform that employee about the progress of your application and let the Claroty employee know the outcome of the process. In some cases, if it is identified that you have shared the same previous employer during the same period as a current Claroty employee we may consult with that employee for feedback on you.
We may also use service providers acting on our behalf to perform some of the services described above including for the purposes of the verification or background checks. These service providers may be located outside the country in which you live or the country where the position you have applied for is located.
We may sometimes be required to disclose your information to external third parties such as to local labor authorities, courts and tribunals, regulatory bodies and/or law enforcement agencies for the purpose of complying with applicable laws and regulations, or in response to a legal process.
We will also share your personal information with other third parties if we have your consent (for example if you have given us permission to contact your referees), or to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or to protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of us, our users, applicants, candidates, employees or the public or as otherwise required by law.
It is your responsibility to obtain consent from references before providing their personal information to us.
We operate globally, which means your information may be stored and processed outside of the country or region where it was originally collected including in the United States. In some of these countries, you may have fewer rights in respect of your information than you do in your country of residence. Regardless of where your information is processed, we apply the same protections described in this Policy. We also comply with certain legal frameworks relating to the transfer of data, such as the European frameworks.
The European Commission has determined that certain countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) adequately protect personal data. You can review current European Commission adequacy decisions on the Commission website. To transfer data from the EEA to other countries, such as the United States, we comply with legal frameworks that establish an equivalent level of protection with EU law. The European Commission has approved the use of model contract clauses as a means of ensuring adequate protection when transferring data outside of the EEA. By incorporating model contract clauses into a contract established between the parties transferring data, personal data is considered protected when transferred outside the EEA or the UK to countries which are not covered by an adequacy decision. We rely on these model contract clauses and your consent for data transfers.
We take appropriate steps to protect information about you that is collected, processed, and stored as part of the application and recruitment process.
If you apply for a job at Claroty and your application is unsuccessful (or you withdraw from the process or decline our offer), Claroty will retain your information for a period after your application. We will retain your personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which we collected it and for a reasonable period thereafter in order to comply with audit, contractual, or legal requirements, or where we have a legitimate interest in doing so. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We may retain aggregated or de-identified data indefinitely, or to the extent allowed by applicable law, as such information would not be considered personal information.
If you do not want us to retain your information for consideration for other roles, or want us to update it, contact HR@claroty.com. Please note, however, that we may retain some information if required by law or as necessary to protect ourselves from legal claims.
In certain countries, you may have certain rights under data protection law. This may include the right to request access or to update or review your information, request that it be deleted or anonymized, or object to or restrict Claroty using it for certain purposes.
If you wish to exercise a right of access please contact privacy@claroty.com. We will respond to any requests in accordance with applicable law, and so there may be circumstances where we are not able to comply with your request.
If you are in the EEA, the UK or Brazil and if you can’t find the answer to your question in this Policy, you can contact Claroty at privacy@claroty.com. Depending on your country of residence, you may also raise any questions or concerns you have regarding your personal information with your local data protection authority.

This includes the rights to request access or deletion of your personal information, as well as the right to direct a business to stop selling or sharing your personal information.
