Atlassian companies: We share your information with other Atlassian corporate affiliates (e.g., where necessary to facilitate and track the application process, to evaluate your candidacy, etc.). In addition, Atlassian corporate affiliates share infrastructure, systems and technology to process your information to ensure efficiency and security, as permitted by applicable law, and in accordance with this Notice. 

Service providers: We work with third-party companies (under contract to us) for the purpose of facilitating the recruitment process, such as recruitment and executive search partners, travel and accommodation services, relocation providers, training providers, background check providers (when applicable), help desk providers, and external consultants and legal advisors.

Transferring information from the European Economic Area (EEA):  If you are in the EEA and we transfer your information to Atlassian companies located in countries that do not have equivalent data protection laws (such as the U.S. and Australia), we make use of standard contractual data protection clauses, which have been approved by the European Commission, and we rely on the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework to safeguard the transfer. We also rely on these mechanisms to secure transfers to third-party service providers in countries that do not have equivalent data protection laws. When you apply for a position with an Atlassian entity outside of the EEA, the transfer of your information to that country is necessary in order to process your application and assess your suitability for the role. For more information on our Privacy Shield certification, please consult our Privacy Shield Notice or contact us as provided below.

If you’d rather we didn’t keep your details on file, please let us know and we will retain your details only as required under applicable law (e.g., for record-keeping purposes, to resolve disputes, etc.).

Access and update your information: Depending on applicable law, you may ask us for a copy of the information about you that we hold, and, where you gave it to us directly, we will provide it to you in a commonly-used electronic format. If the information about you is incorrect or out of date, you may ask us to update it, but this may not affect your application if we have already filled the position or assessed your candidacy based on the information first provided.
