What Is Personal Information?
Personal data is information that whether alone, or combined, allows you to be identified directly, or indirectly. Common personal data identifiers are attributes like your name, online identifier, or ID number. However, a combination of one or more elements specific to your physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity will also be classed as your personal data/personal information, given their potential to identify you when combined.
Some personal data types are considered more sensitive than others and the definition of sensitive data varies by local law. Across several major privacy laws, sensitive data examples include health and financial data, ethnic and racial origins, political opinions, genetic and biometric data, an individual’s sex life or sexual orientation, religious/philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, precise geolocation and/or government identifiers.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML)
Job Search
Some Job Search functionality provided on Company platforms apply AI and ML technology to identify, extract and structure information coming from the text of the CV/resume you upload and use to create your job search profile. A limited set of CVs/Resumes are used to train and evaluate the AI parsing algorithms annually, to ensure a service offering that is accurate and free from bias.
The search and match component uses the structured data from the job profile you have created to perform queries, create search queries, and rank results. The search and match component is not AI powered and is not trained on user behavior or other signals for machine ‘self-learning’. The search and match component is a transparent normalized search engine that does not learn from user interactions or other user data. The only ML algorithms used in the search and match offering are for the purpose of effective parsing and making the search facility more robust and relevant for users.
No automated decisions are made via Job Search functions that produce any legal or similarly significant effects on you. The job search functions are just one of the numerous ways you can approach the job market to search for opportunities.
