Travelport Technology Limited, and its operating groups, subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Travelport Group”), (“Travelport” or “we”, “our” or “us”) are committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal information and/or personal data (“Personal Data”) of candidates. Travelport collects, processes, and transfers personal data of candidates in connection with its recruitment activities.
Personal Data
Thank you for your interest in applying to Travelport. Please proceed with your application only if you accept our Careers Privacy Notice.
Travelport has a diverse mix of employees. We value this diversity and continuously encourage the very best candidates to apply to us.
This Notice applies to Personal Data and to the management of that Personal Data in any form – whether oral, electronic or written.
While this Notice is intended to describe our Personal Data processing activities globally, those processing activities may be more limited in some jurisdictions based on the restrictions of their laws or local practice. For example, the laws of a particular country may limit the types of Personal Data we can collect or the manner in which we process that Personal Data. In those instances, we adjust our internal policies (including those set out in this Notice) and practices to reflect the requirements of local law.
Personal Data we collect, store and use
We generally collect Personal Data directly from you, and sometimes from others (such as from our employees under the internal referral process or from third party recruiters etc.) and this includes:
- Personal Data you provided to us in your curriculum vitae and covering letter or in other application documents.
- Personal Data you provided on our application form, including name, title, home address, personal telephone number, personal email address, date of birth, gender, photograph, employment history, qualifications, memberships of professional organizations, language capabilities, training courses attended, results of psychometric testing (if applicable)
- Personal Data you provide to us during a digital or face-to-face interview, including your image and voice via audio-video recording of interviews, and/or CCTV footage (where you have visited one of our offices for interview), where applicable.
- Other Personal Data that we might collect and process in the recruitment process, such as sex, age, gender, nationality, race, ethnicity, veteran status or disability, as permitted by applicable laws.
- The results of credit and criminal background checks, where permitted by law and dependent on the country, role or job function, in case your job application is successful.
- Information on whether you or a family member are a government official or politically exposed person to ensure Travelport’s compliance with anti-bribery and corruption laws it is subject to and to manage any potential conflicts of interest.
We collect and may disclose statistical Personal Data gathered as a whole (e.g., total number of candidates and candidate origin) for internal reporting purposes, but this information is not considered Personal data under applicable privacy laws. We do not knowingly solicit Personal Data from children and we do not knowingly market our services to children.
If you opt to provide certain Personal Data to us for the purposes of diversity monitoring and reporting like your date of birth, gender identification or sex, disability status, veteran status, marital status, or nationality, this Personal Data will be used for diversity monitoring and reporting purposes and will not be used in the selection process. We may also collect these types of Personal Data for other purposes as set out below.
We are subject to certain governmental recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the US. In order to comply with these laws, we invite candidates to voluntarily self-identify their race, ethnicity, veteran and disability status. Submission of this information is voluntary and refusal to provide it will not subject you to any adverse treatment. When reported, the data will be summarized and will not identify any specific individual.
Health and safety requirements, assessments regarding the need for reasonable adjustments or reasonable job accommodations, or our rights and obligations in the field of employment law in so far as authorized by law may call for us to request sensitive personal data (for example, health or religious data).
