Atlassian Careers Privacy Notice

We collect Talent Data about you in connection to career opportunities with us.

Categories of Talent Data we may collect about you include, but are not limited, to:

• Contact Information. We may collect your contact information, such as full name, pronouns, home address, telephone or mobile number, email address or online identifier, job site information (e.g., LinkedIn profile) and onsite badge information (if you visit us onsite).
• Government issued ID number or similar identifier. We may collect your identification details, such as citizenship status, residency and work permit status.
• Employment and Education. We may collect information relating to your employment and education, including your cover letter, resume/CV, work experience or other relevant experience, educational background, and achievements. Where relevant for the position, we may receive information from professional licensing and certification bodies, employment research firms, identity verification services, and educational and training institutions.
• Job Preferences. We may collect information related to your job preferences, including career trajectory and interests, and willingness to relocate.
• References. We may ask for references from your previous employers or academic supervisors.
• Background Checks. Where permitted or required by law, we may conduct background checks once you have accepted a conditional offer from us.
• Mandatory assessments. We may collect information related to any assessment that is mandatory to assess your suitability for the role, such as phone screens, interviews and skills assessments (e.g., coding assessment for a software engineering role).
• Publicly Available Information. We may collect information you’ve made public, such as your public profile on career networking sites (e.g., information on your public LinkedIn profile) and your public portfolio website or code repository side (e.g., on Github).
• Monitoring of Atlassian Networks and Resources. If you visit us onsite, we may collect information relating to on-premise monitoring for security purposes (e.g., video surveillance). If you access and use Atlassian devices, networks (e.g., corporate wifi), or other resources, we may collect information related to your access and use, such as domain names and IP addresses.
• Online usage information. We may collect your online usage information when you browse our websites (e.g., our Careers Page) or use our Talent Community platform, including cookie information, traffic data or profiles, which may be combined with any of the foregoing categories of Talent Data.
• Sensitive Talent Data. While we treat all Talent Data with care, some Talent Data is more sensitive in nature so we refer to that as “Sensitive Talent Data.” Sensitive Talent Data may include demographic information such as your racial or ethnic origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, and veteran status, as well as your background check results, and health data (e.g., disability status). Atlassian generally collects Sensitive Talent Data directly from you. However, we may also collect Sensitive Talent Data from other sources. We may collect background check results through background check providers (if legally required or permitted). We may also collect certain Sensitive Talent Data, such as your race, ethnicity, and gender, from third party vendors or public sources (e.g., your LinkedIn profile) in order to help us with our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.
• Voluntary Talent Data that you choose to provide us. In connection to a career opportunity with Atlassian, you may choose to voluntarily provide us with certain Talent Data. For example, to participate in a voluntary opt-in survey (e.g., candidate experience feedback survey, demographic survey) or voluntary assessment (e.g., behavioral assessment). These programs are entirely optional and will be communicated as such. If you do choose to participate, we will collect certain information relating to your participation in the program. For example, if you participate in a demographic survey, we will collect information about how you identify as an individual. The types of information we collect and how we will use and share your information will be made clear to you before you decide whether you want to participate in the program. 

Voluntary Talent Data will be collected directly from you on a voluntary opt-in basis. Voluntary opt-in basis means:

• It will only be collected if you choose to provide opt-in consent (a separate and specific consent notice will be surfaced to you);
• You can withdraw your consent at any time (this may not affect processing that has already occurred or Talent Data that has been de-identified so that we can no longer identify you); and
• There will be no adverse consequences on your application for not providing Talent Data or for withdrawing your consent.

For Talent Data (including Sensitive Talent Data) that is required to assess your suitability for a career opportunity, please see Section 9 on how you can withdraw your application or request deletion.

In relation to your job application with us or your participation in our Talent Community, we may collect Talent Data about you from the following sources:

• Directly from you. We collect Talent Data directly from you, for example when you provide contact details or your resume/CV. You may also choose to voluntarily provide us with Sensitive Talent Data.
• From referrals. If you are referred, we collect information from the individual who referred you.
• From recruitment and staffing partners or other jobs websites. We collect information from recruitment and staffing partners or other jobs websites (e.g., LinkedIn) if you apply to us through those sources.
• From references. We may receive references from your previous employers or academic supervisors.
• From third party data providers. We may receive information such as your education, work experience, contact information, and certain Sensitive Talent Data from third-party data providers who have the rights to provide us with your information. These providers collect your information from publicly available sources, or through third parties they work with.
• Professional licensing and certification bodies. Where it is relevant for the position, we may receive information from professional licensing and certification bodies, employment research firms, identity verification services, and educational and training institutions.
• Background check providers. Where permitted or required by law, we receive background check information from background check providers. Background check providers will provide us with Sensitive Talent Data.
• From publicly available sources. We may receive information from other publicly available sources, such as information that you have chosen to make public online (e.g., your public LinkedIn profile). 
• Information we collect automatically. When you submit an application online (e.g., through our careers page) or use our Talent Community platform, we collect information sent to us by the device you use, such as your computer IP address, device identifiers and how you arrived at our website. For more information, please see our Cookies and Tracking Notice.

Atlassian strives to be transparent about how Talent Data will be used. When considering you for career opportunities with Atlassian, we use your information for the following purposes:

• To proactively reach out to you. Where we have identified you as a potential candidate from information we've collected from public sources or third parties, we may use Talent Data to suggest opportunities for you (e.g., reaching out to you for a specific opportunity, inviting you to join our Talent Community). If you have previously applied for a role with Atlassian, we may contact you about future career opportunities that may interest you (i.e., by inviting you to join our Talent Community).
• To review and process your application. Where you apply for a role at Atlassian, we may use Talent Data to review and process your application.
• To assess your suitability. We may use Talent Data to assess your skills, qualifications and interests against our career opportunities.
• To facilitate the recruiting process. We may use Talent Data to facilitate the recruiting process, including scheduling interviews and communicating with you.
• For verification. We may use Talent Data to verify the information you or others provide, and to check your references. Where permitted or required by law, we use Talent Data to conduct background checks if you are offered the role.
• To reimburse you. We may use Talent Data to reimburse you for any agreed expenses and travel.
• To evaluate and improve our processes. We may use Talent Data to evaluate our recruitment processes and activities, including assessing interview scheduling times and time to hire.
• For reporting. We may use Talent Data to analyze recruiting metrics for aggregated reporting (e.g., assessing the efficiency of our recruiting processes).
• To build a more diverse Atlassian. We may use Talent Data to help with the goals we have set in our Sustainability Report, because we know that in doing so we can unleash the potential of our teams. We may also use Talent Data to calibrate our actions and ensure our hiring process is as equitable as possible.
• For our Talent Community. If you join our Talent Community, we may use Talent Data to share content relevant to your career interests, to invite you to events that are relevant to your career interests, and to share career opportunities.
• To protect Atlassian’s interests. We may use Talent Data to protect our interests, which may include protecting our legal rights and maintaining the security and integrity of our facilities, equipment and electronic platforms.
• As legally required. We may use Talent Data as legally required, such as confirming your eligibility to work in the country in which you applied for a job, using your government ID for immigration processing purposes, conducting background checks, or submitting reports required by local law (e.g., EEOC reporting).
• For other purposes with your consent. If you voluntarily choose to participate in an optional program, we may use Voluntary Talent Data according to any purposes provided to you during the opt-in process.

Atlassian may leverage technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically process Talent Data for these purposes. However, Atlassian does not use these technologies to make any automated decisions about you. By automated decisions, we mean decisions with little or no human involvement that have a legal or significant effect on you (e.g., to get hired).

Legal Bases for Individuals Located in the EEA, UK, or Brazil:

If you are based in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Brazil, we collect and process Talent Data only where we have legal bases for doing so under applicable laws. The legal bases depend on the type of Talent Data and the purpose we process it. This means we collect and process Talent Data only where:

• We need it to administer a contract with you;
• It satisfies a legitimate interest which is not overridden by your privacy rights (e.g., assessing your suitability, evaluating our recruiting processes, protecting our legal rights and interests);
• You provide us consent for a specific purpose (e.g., demographic survey); or
• We need to comply with a legal obligation (e.g., conducting legally required background checks).

If you have consented to our use of Talent Data for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent, but this may not affect any processing that has already taken place or Talent Data that has been de-identified so that we can no longer identify you. Where we are using Talent Data because we have a legitimate interest to do so, you have the right to object to that use.

Atlassian also shares Talent Data within the Atlassian group of companies for the purposes described in this section.

Atlassian will disclose your Talent Data outside of Atlassian and its group of companies for the purposes defined above, including:

• To facilitate the recruitment process. We may disclose Talent Data to facilitate the recruitment process, such as with service providers (e.g., applicant tracking system provider, background check providers) and with third parties with your consent (e.g., references you provide us).
• Service providers on our behalf. We may disclose Talent Data with service providers who perform necessary duties and functions on our behalf (e.g., our applicant tracking system), which means they typically can only use your Talent Data to provide services to Atlassian and cannot use any identifying information for their own independent purposes.
• External reports. We may disclose anonymized, or aggregated and de-identified Talent Data in our external (i.e. public) reports, such as our annual Sustainability report. This means that you cannot be identified in the external report.
• As legally required. We may disclose Talent Data to a third party (e.g., courts, law enforcement agencies, government agencies) if we have a good faith belief that it is required or permitted under applicable law, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, to protect Atlassian or its affiliates, or to respond to a valid court order, subpoena, discovery request, search warrant, or other law enforcement request.

In order to operate as a global company, Atlassian transfers and processes Talent Data outside your country of residence to other countries where Atlassian, its subsidiaries, affiliates, and its 3rd party vendors operate. For example, our Talent Acquisition team is distributed throughout the globe and as a result, we may need to transfer your Talent Data to where the relevant Talent Acquisition team is located in order to manage your recruitment process. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. When Atlassian transfers your Talent Data to another country, it will ensure that the transfer complies with applicable law.

Atlassian has entered into agreements ensuring appropriate and suitable safeguards with its entities and service providers, including entering into the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses where appropriate.
