2.2 Sources From Which We Collect Personal Data
New Relic obtains personal data directly from you; for example, in your job application, forms you complete for us, and any personal data you provide us during the course of your application and the recruiting process. In addition, New Relic may obtain personal data about you from your references or from a background check report and from publicly available data (including, but not limited to, professional networking sites, contributor credits, as a referral from an existing New Relic employee, third party recruiting platforms, and trade publications) in connection with your application, as permitted by applicable law, public internet sources, i.e. social media, job boards, public profiles and other public online sources including credentialing or licensing organizations (if applicable).
Except where such personal data is legally required and specifically requested by New Relic due to that legal requirement, we ask that you avoid submitting the following personal data, which may qualify as sensitive personal data (or special categories of personal data) under applicable law: personal data on race, religion, ethnicity, nationality or national origin, age, gender identity, sexual practices or orientation, marital status, medical or health personal data (including disability status), genetic or biometric personal data, biometric templates, political or philosophical beliefs, political party or trade union membership, veteran status, background check personal data, and judicial data such as criminal records or personal data on other judicial or administrative proceedings. We may be required by U.S. law to request specific data on some of these topics (e.g., disability or veteran status) for jobs located in the U.S.
To the extent the personal data you provide, including in your job evaluations or educational records, contains types of personal data referenced in the preceding paragraph and which may be required by New Relic as a result of a legal obligation in applicable jurisdictions, you expressly authorize New Relic to handle such details for the purposes of your job application or for ensuring fair and equitable hiring practices.
Any information you submit during the application process must be true, complete, and not misleading. Submitting inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information may lead to a rejection of your application during the application process or disciplinary action, including immediate termination of employment.
In addition, it is your responsibility to ensure that information you submit does not violate any third party’s rights, including privacy rights. If you give us personal data about anyone else (e.g., a reference), you should first provide this person a link to New Relic General Data Privacy Notice, notify them that you want to share their personal data with us for the purposes described, and obtain their consent.
