1. How we use your personal data
Personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify an individual (data subject), either on its own or when combined with other pieces of information.
With regard to the processing of personal data in connection with a recruitment, the applicant usually has the interest in being able to apply and be eligible for the specific vacancy.
The provision of your personal data is voluntary. Failure to provide your personal data may prevent the invitation of the candidate to further stages of the recruitment process or it may have impact on the job application processing and the candidate verification and evaluation result in terms of meeting formal conditions for the recruited position.
Primarily, personal data is collected directly from you. Depending on the nature of the vacancy within Huawei (for which you applied), some personal data may be collected from external or other sources to the extent permitted by applicable legislation.
1.1 Sources and Personal data we collect
1.1.1. Data you provide us with
To submit your application for a specific or prospective vacancy through our dedicated recruitment website and to participate in the recruitment process, you need to create a Huawei account or profile. When doing so, you will be asked to provide account information, such as your email address and telephone number.
After setting-up your account, you may apply for the specific vacancy. The data you provide us with directly as part of your application includes all data provided in your CV or resume and other personal data that we collect for the purpose of and during the recruitment procedure. This data can include:
your name and surname, gender, address, postal code, contact information, age/date of birth, nationality, identity number;

details of how you heard about the position that you are applying for; and
any other information you provide to us in support of your application and/or recruitment process (e.g., hobbies, personal interests, driving license).
In some countries, when recruiting for a special vacancy, we may ask your permission to collect personal data about your family members after giving you a specific reason for this and/or a legal basis. This will help us to decide whether there may be any conflict of interest.
Please make sure that you provide us only with information relevant for your recruitment application. If, in addition to the personal data listed above, you choose to provide us with further information and personal data, we will process such information and personal data only to the extent that they are relevant for the recruitment process. Providing such additional personal data is voluntary and lack thereof will not affect the recruitment process.
In case of you choosing to submit your application for a specific or prospective vacancy through a social media platform (e.g. LinkedIn) or other local recruitment websites, you are not generally required to create a Huawei account or profile on Huawei’s recruitment website. In this case, the provisions regarding the Huawei account or profile included in this Statement shall not be applicable to you.

Huawei is required to disclose your personal data in accordance with legal procedures of legitimate government authorities. These authorities include, amongst others, tax, labor, public security, police, courts, and procuratorates.

Your personal information is leaked, lost, stolen, or tampered with due to force majeure that affects the normal operation of the network. Such events could be caused by things such as bugs, hackers, computer viruses, or temporary closure due to government regulations.
Your information is leaked by a website that is linked within our website, leading to any legal disputes or related consequences.
