Except where C3 AI expressly asks for your consent, C3 AI processes your personal data for recruitment on the basis of its legitimate interests and to take steps at your request before any employment relationship, and you are not required to consent to that processing: C3 AI collects your personal data for the purposes of managing C3 AI's recruitment related activities as well as for organizational planning purposes globally. Consequently, C3 AI may use your personal data in relation to the evaluation and selection of applicants including for example setting up and conducting interviews and tests, evaluating and assessing the results thereto and as is otherwise needed in the recruitment processes including the final recruitment. Some evaluations are assisted by automated tools: C3 AI uses AI-based matching to compare your application against the requirements of the role and, for some roles, an AI-based “Voice AI” tool that records and analyzes a voice screening interview. A member of our team reviews the results and makes the final decision, and no decision is made based solely on automated processing. You may request more information about the logic involved, request a review by a person, and — for voice interviews — decline to be recorded and request a standard interview instead, in each case without any penalty to your application.

Such transfers may include for example transfers and/or disclosures outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and in the United States of America; in such cases, the transfer is based on, as applicable, the Standard Contractual Clauses (according to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914, and, for transfers from the United Kingdom, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum), the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable, or other GDPR-compliant mechanisms.
