Sensitive Personal Information 

InterDigital does not require that you submit sensitive personal information regarding religion, health, sexual orientation or political affiliation in connection with your application. If you have a disability and would like for us to consider an accommodation, you may provide that information during the recruitment process. 

For some countries, InterDigital may ask for information such as race, ethnicity or gender for the purposes of monitoring equal opportunity and export control compliance; however, for the purposes of your application we do not require applicants to provide this information. If you provide this information it will not be considered in the hiring or selection process. To the extent that you provide us with sensitive personal information (race, ethnicity, political opinions or beliefs, membership of a trade union or political party, physical or mental health information, sexual orientation or information related to criminal convictions or offences), you expressly authorize InterDigital to handle such information in accordance with this Notice. 

Information from Third Parties 

InterDigital may obtain information about you from public sources or third parties. For example, we may conduct background screenings through a third-party service provider and verify information in your application that relates to past education, employment, credit and/or criminal history, as allowed by applicable law. You may also choose to provide us with access to certain personal information stored by third parties such as job-related social media sites. By authorizing InterDigital to have access to this information, you agree that InterDigital may collect, store and use this information in accordance with this Notice.
