Where Teradata handles recruitment directly with you as a candidate (including also when you are referred to us by others), it may do so via various means, including the use of suppliers who collect your PII and transfer it to Teradata and including the use of third-party technology.

Although our recruitment activities are typically managed in-house, Teradata may elect to use external organisations to manage our recruitment activities for us. In such a case, such an external organisation would be the data controller of your PII, and you should check you agree to with its privacy statement/notice before you submitted any PII to it. If used, such external companies might share PII with Teradata for the purposes specified in this Privacy Statement.
