All capitalized terms used in the immediately preceding sentence shall be defined in accordance with the iCIMS Subscription Agreement and/or applicable product addendum.

This Services Privacy Notice (“Services Notice”) explains who we are and covers our privacy practices with respect to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data obtained in connection with the use of our Subscription and related services, including professional services and trainings that we provide to Subscribers. This Services Notice also describes our privacy practices with respect to the processing of personal data for iCIMS’ legitimate business operations incident to administration and delivery of our Subscription to Subscribers, and for our other legitimate purposes relating to iCIMS’ business operations, including contact information for employees of Subscribers, prospects, and partners that we process for account, contract, communication, and billing management purposes (e.g., the processing of Subscribers’ employee’s address and billing information) in connection with the use or potential use of our products and services, or technology provided by our partners to our Subscribers. For clarity, iCIMS collects the personal data of Candidates and Survey Recipients under the direction of its Subscribers and has no direct relationship with such Subscribers’ Candidates or Survey Recipients. If you are a Candidate or Survey Recipient of one of our Subscribers, please contact that Subscriber.

For purposes of this Services Notice:

• The term “personal data” means any information which relates to an identified or identifiable, living individual that directly or indirectly references one or more factors specific to their physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity. Personal data excludes anonymous data.

Please take the time to read this Services Notice and the related statements in their entirety to ensure you are fully informed. If you have any questions or concerns about our processing of personal data, please contact us by using the contact details under the “Contact Information” heading below.

As further described below, we collect several types of personal data from and about our Subscribers in the course of providing and supporting the Subscription.

Subscribers process Subscriber Data in the normal course of using the Subscription. Our collection, use, and disclosure of such Subscriber Data is limited to the processing permitted in the agreement(s) executed between Subscriber and iCIMS (“Subscription Agreement”) or processing required or permitted by applicable law, such as providing and supporting the Subscription on behalf of Subscriber. Likewise, we process Subscriber Data at the direction of and pursuant to the instructions of our Subscribers.

As a result, under applicable data protection or privacy law, we are our Subscribers’ data processor or service provider. To that end, we also collect several types of other personal data from our Subscribers as a data processor or service provider, including:

• Personal data and correspondence from Subscribers, Users, Candidates, and Survey Recipients submitted, imported, uploaded, or transferred to us in connection with our services and use of the Subscription, including personal data that is collected automatically when that is the intended purpose of the Subscription.
• Personal data we receive from our partners and service providers in connection with our services and the use of the Subscription.
• Personal data collected via our mobile applications.

Lastly, we collect several types of personal data from our Subscribers or prospects as a data controller or business (as defined under applicable data protection or privacy law), including:

• Personal data collected as part of administration and delivery of our Subscription to Subscribers (including personal data collected as part of providing due diligence materials and other information about our Subscription to prospects and personal data collected automatically in connection with the use of our Subscription and related services) and our accounting, billing, contracting, communication, customer support, and security operations, including, but not limited to, a Subscriber’s company name and address, payment details such as credit card or financial account information, and business representative’s contact information (“Customer Personal Data”).
• Personal data that is made available to the general public by our Subscribers in the normal course of using the Subscription, including, but not limited to, videos posted to public websites and social media platforms (“Public Personal Data”).

We may use Subscriber Data and Customer Personal Data to provide support, secure, and improve the Subscription, including updating and maintaining the Subscription, providing services, responding to customer service requests, recording and monitoring customer service calls, and tracking the browsing and email actions of Users, Candidates, and Survey Recipients (when such tracking is the intended purpose of the Subscription). When we record customer service calls that capture Customer Personal Data and when required by law, we will let you know if a call is being recorded at the start of the call so you can decide whether or not to continue. We may also use Subscriber Data to create aggregated, anonymized Analytics. When we create Analytics, we maintain and use Analytics in deidentified form and do not attempt to reidentify data that has been aggregated and anonymized. We will not use, disclose, sell, review, share, distribute, transfer, or reference any Subscriber Data except as permitted in the Subscription Agreement or as required or permitted by law.

We may use Customer Personal Data for account, billing, contracting, internal reporting, communication (including to provide information about our products, such as via telemarketing calls and marketing emails, in accordance with indicated marketing preferences), customer support, and security management purposes, as well as for exercising, establishing, or defending our legal rights or complying with applicable legal obligations. For example, if a customer requests to schedule a meeting with us to discuss or provide feedback about our products and services, iCIMS will use Customer Personal Data to schedule the meeting and communicate with the customer.

We may use Public Personal Data for research and development purposes (for example, to test the accuracy of artificial intelligence (“AI”) algorithms and to determine if AI algorithms produce biased output) and as reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations.

Our processing of Personal Data for the purposes described in this Services Notice also includes the use of automated methods of processing, including sentiment analysis, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and generative intelligence capabilities. to analyze your Personal Data, determine trends, or create automated or AI-generated responses or other content. When you interact with the chatbot on our Website, we may also store the transcript for the purposes described in this Services Notice.

If we need to process personal data for an incompatible purpose not discussed in this Services Notice, we will provide notice to Subscribers, Users, Candidates, or Survey Recipients as applicable, and, if required by law, seek their consent. We may process personal data without Subscribers’, Users’, Candidates’, or Survey Recipients’ knowledge or consent only where required or permitted by applicable law or the Subscription Agreement.

iCIMS limits access to personal data to only those who need access to perform their tasks and duties, and to third parties who have a legitimate purpose for processing or accessing it. As such, we may share personal data as described in this Services Notice to the following categories of recipients:

• To our subsidiaries, affiliates, or their or our successors or assigns (including those located outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom (“UK”), and Switzerland) as necessary to support provision of the Subscription.
• To Survey Recipients, peer references, and other third parties when necessary to deliver the Subscription to our Subscriber.
• To our private equity investors, Vista Equity Partners and TA Associates, and their affiliates, contractors, service providers, and other third parties, including Vista Consulting Group, which will process the personal data on the basis of its legitimate interests in overseeing the administration, research, and business operations of iCIMS.
• To our contractors, business partners, and service providers who require the data to assist us in providing, supporting, and securing our Subscription and to assist with providing services on behalf of our Subscribers, provided such parties provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required of iCIMS. These companies are authorized to use personal data only as necessary to provide these services to us.
• To a potential buyer (and its agents and advisors) and our agents and advisors in connection with any proposed merger, acquisition, or any form of sale or transfer of some or all of our assets (including in the event of a reorganization, dissolution or liquidation), in which case Subscriber Data and personal data held by us about our Subscribers and Users will be among the assets transferred to the buyer or acquirer.
• To our subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, advisors, contractors, business partners, and service providers as necessary for iCIMS’ legitimate business operations incident to administration and delivery of our Subscription to Subscribers, and for our other legitimate purposes relating to iCIMS’ business operations, including account, billing, contracting, internal reporting, communication, customer support, and security management purposes.
• To a third party under the following circumstances where we, in good faith,: (i) believe we are compelled by applicable law or regulation, judicial request from a court of competent jurisdiction, or another legal process or government order (in each case, where iCIMS is unable to resist such disclosure); (ii) find it necessary to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights; (iii) seek to enforce or apply the terms of the Subscription Agreement; (iv) seek to protect iCIMS’ rights or property; (v) seek to protect iCIMS, our Subscribers, or the public from harm or illegal activities; (vi) seek to respond to an emergency which requires us to disclose data to prevent harm; or (vii) rely on your consent.
• To the general public when Subscribers use functionality within the Subscription to make certain content containing Subscriber Data publicly available. For example, all materials, comments, and other content shared on or through iCIMS Video Studio are subject to being shared with job applicants, website visitors, and social media followers who are under no obligation of confidentiality, and therefore such content is public.
• In accordance with a Subscriber’s instructions.

Please note that we do not sell (as defined in applicable data protection and privacy laws) personal data (and will not sell it without providing any required notices and/or opt-in/opt-out rights).

If you are a resident of the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal data described above will depend on the personal data concerned and the context in which we collect it.

• We may also seek your consent to process or retain your personal data in certain, limited circumstances that we clearly identify to you.

If we ask you to provide personal data to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and let you know whether the provision of your personal data is mandatory or not (as well as the possible consequences if you do not provide it). Similarly, if we collect and use your personal data in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) that are not listed above, we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are. If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal data, please contact us using the contact details provided in the “Contact Information” section below.

Various browsers (i.e., Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.) allow a “do not track” (DNT) setting, which sends a signal to websites visited by an individual about their browser DNT setting. At this time, there is no general agreement on how companies, like iCIMS, should interpret DNT signals. Therefore, we do not currently commit to respond to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.

We may also connect to applications or integrations hosted by third parties for mutual Subscribers. These applications and integrations will interact with the Subscription and our processing of Subscriber Data will be in accordance with this Services Notice and our Subscription Agreement.
