Use of AI in the Recruitment Process

  • To Pursue Our Legitimate Interests – to support our business, where doing so serves a legitimate interest and is not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
  • To Protect Vital Interests – in limited circumstances, to protect your life or the life of another individual.
  • With Your Consent  – to process your personal information for specific purposes not otherwise described in this Notice. You may withdraw your consent at any time, as permitted by applicable law, by contacting us at privacy@amkor.com. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to such withdrawal.

How We Share Personal Information

We may share your personal information with our corporate group of companies, third parties that support the recruitment process, and public or regulatory authorities. We share personal information only for the purposes described in this Notice. When we share personal information, we take appropriate measures to help ensure it is protected and handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Some of the parties with whom we share personal information may be located outside the country where you live. When personal information is transferred to another country, we implement appropriate safeguards to help ensure it remains adequately protected. These safeguards include lawful transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable data protection laws, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), adequacy decisions, and consent. If you would like more information about these safeguards or to request a copy of the relevant documentation, you may contact us at privacy@amkor.com.

How We Protect Personal Information

We implement appropriate administrative, technical, and physical controls to protect your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure, and accidental loss, modification, and destruction. These measures include data governance policies, encryption, and access controls that protect our facilities, systems, and data. We also provide our employees with regular security training and require our service providers to meet our security standards.

We apply enhanced security measures to protect sensitive personal information, including strict role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and safeguards that restrict storage to highly secure environments.

How Long We Keep Personal Information

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Notice. For successful applicants, we retain personal information for the duration of employment and up to seven years thereafter. For unsuccessful applicants, we retain personal information for up to three years.

When personal information is no longer needed, or if there is no longer a valid legal basis for its retention, we will securely dispose of or anonymize it. In assessing whether to retain personal information for our legitimate interests, we consider factors such as the nature and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for processing, and whether those purposes can be achieved through other means.
