This Applicant Privacy Notice (“Notice”) explains how Chainalysis collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal data during the recruitment and hiring process. It also explains the privacy rights that may be available to you under applicable law.
Some parts of this Notice apply only to applicants in specific jurisdictions. Where this is the case, we identify the jurisdictions to which those sections apply.
In this Notice, “you” refers to applicants for employment with Chainalysis or its affiliates. “Chainalysis,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Chainalysis and its affiliates.
Chainalysis collects personal data about you to support the recruitment and hiring process and comply with applicable legal obligations. Depending on the role and where you are in the recruitment process, this may include:
We may also collect optional data to support our diversity and inclusion initiatives, where permitted by applicable law. This may include information about your ethnic origin, sexual orientation, disability, medical condition, or religion or belief.
Depending on the role, we may also collect additional information as part of pre-employment screening or background checks, where permitted by applicable law.
Providing your personal data during the application and recruitment process is voluntary. However, if you choose not to provide information that is necessary for us to evaluate your application or complete the recruitment process, we may not be able to continue considering you for the role.
Most of the personal data we collect comes directly from you, such as when you submit an application, upload your resume, participate in interviews, or communicate with our recruiting team.
We also generate information during the recruitment process, including interview notes, assessment results, and, where applicable, interview transcripts or summaries created using AI tools.
In some cases, we collect personal data from third parties, such as recruiting agencies, references you provide, background check providers, or publicly available professional sources, where permitted by applicable law.
We process your personal data to support our recruitment and hiring process, including to:
We also use your personal data to maintain recruitment records, support internal reporting, and, where necessary, investigations and legal proceedings.
We may use technology, including AI tools, to support parts of the recruitment process. These tools help organize information, create interview summaries, and assist with other administrative tasks. AI tools assist our recruiting team and are not used to make hiring decisions.
For applicants based in the United Kingdom (“UK”) or the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the UK GDPR and the GDPR require us to identify the legal basis for processing your personal data. Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
Your personal data may be shared within the Chainalysis group for the purposes described in this Notice. This includes members of our Talent Acquisition and People teams, interviewers involved in the recruitment process, hiring managers, and others who need the information to support recruitment activities.
We also share personal data with service providers who help us operate our recruitment process, such as providers of recruiting, background screening, and other business services. These providers process personal data on our behalf under appropriate contractual and security requirements. In some cases, we may also share personal data with other organizations that process it for their own purposes, where appropriate and permitted by applicable law.
We may also disclose personal data to legal advisors, regulators, law enforcement, courts, or other parties when necessary to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, protect our rights, investigate suspected fraud or other unlawful activity, or protect the safety of individuals.
We may transfer your personal data to other countries where Chainalysis operates or where our service providers are located in order to support our global recruitment process.
When we transfer personal data internationally, we do so in accordance with applicable privacy laws. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards to protect your personal data, including adequacy decisions, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (including the UK Extension and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, where applicable), the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), the UK Addendum to the Standard Contractual Clauses, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.
We take the security of your personal data seriously and maintain appropriate technical, administrative, and organizational safeguards to protect it from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We also limit access to personal data to individuals who need it to perform their job responsibilities.
If your application is unsuccessful, we generally retain your personal data for up to two years after the recruitment process ends. However, we may retain personal data for a longer period where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect our legal rights, or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.
Before the end of that retention period, we may contact you to ask whether you would like us to retain your personal data for a longer period so we can consider you for future opportunities.
If your application is successful, the personal data collected during the recruitment process will become part of your personnel file and will be retained in accordance with our employee retention policies.
Depending on where you are located, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data under applicable privacy laws. These rights may include the ability to:
