Information collection
Beranek, LLC collects your Personal Information directly from you, the data subject, in all instances where you provide your Personal Information through Beranek, LLC recruiter or indirectly in instances where your Personal Information is provided by Beranek, LLC partners (e.g., recruiting agencies.)

Purposes & Legal Basis
Beranek, LLC requires you to provide Personal Information when applying to job openings online or in-person. Beranek, LLC collects and uses this information primarily to assess your compatibility with positions you have applied to or to inform you about vacancies that match your skills and experience. We may also use your Personal Information to improve our hiring process, comply with our legal obligations, and other reasons discussed in detail below.
Some jurisdictions require we identify the legal basis for our processing of your information. In those jurisdictions, our bases are:
Legitimate Interests:
This applies when the processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests. Beranek, LLC relies on this basis when we:
Process your Personal Information in order to evaluate your application, including an automatic assessment of your background including your experience, employment history, education, and location.
Create an aggregated analysis of candidates’ demographics as part of Beranek, LLC recruiting process.
Reach out to you as a former applicant when a position opens where we believe you could be a good fit for the role.
Create a profile of how you could be a good fit to the role you applied for and to the overall organization; or
Update you via email on vacancies suiting the interests you expressed when submitting your application.
Consent:
This applies when processing is based on your consent, such as when you sign up to receive career-focused marketing communications.Public Data
This applies when the processing relates to Personal Information which is manifestly made public by the Data Subject – where any Personal Information not specifically required by Beranek, LLC is made available to us in the process of applying for a position.
Public Interest, and related bases
This applies when the processing is necessary for a public interest or for the exercise of public authority in strictly limited cases, i.e., where Beranek, LLC would be required to cooperate with the police or other government bodies in case of illegal conduct.
In jurisdictions that designate parties as data controllers or processors, Beranek, LLC is a data controller with respect to the collection, use, and other processing of Personal Information in connection with Beranek, LLC recruiting efforts.
Beranek, LLC does not use your sensitive personal information for any reason other than those permitted by California Civil Code section 1798.121(a) and the associated regulations. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information we reasonably require, it may hinder our ability to provide the information or services you have requested.
Cross-Border Transfer
To the extent Personal Information is transferred out of the country where the owner of that Personal Information resides, such as to Beranek, LLC affiliates or business partners in other countries, including in the United States, different standards may apply to how your data is used and protected in those countries.
Beranek, LLC has appropriate safeguards in place in accordance with applicable legal requirements to ensure that data is adequately protected irrespective of the country. This includes obtaining written assurances from any third party given access to your data so as to require them to adopt standards that ensure an equivalent level of protection for data as that adopted by Beranek, LLC. If you prefer not to have your Personal Information transferred, do not use this Site.
Privacy Statement for Children
Beranek, LLC will not collect any Personal Information from anyone we know to be under the age of 16 without the prior, verifiable consent from his or her legal representative. Such a legal representative has the right, upon request, to view the information provided by the child and/or to request that it be deleted.
Disclosures
We have not disclosed Personal Information to third parties, as the California Consumer Privacy Act defines that term, within the last 12 months. Beranek, LLC may disclose Personal Information we have collected to our service providers—companies or agents providing technological maintenance or working on our behalf to help fulfill business needs, including providing customer services and distributing marketing communications.
Beranek, LLC may also provide Personal Information to our subsidiaries and affiliates. We may also disclose your Personal Information to others in order to comply with legal obligations or valid legal processes (such as a subpoena), to protect our rights and property, or for emergency/safety reasons. Also, if a business transfer or change in ownership occurs, Beranek, LLC may disclose information as necessary to complete the transaction.
Beranek, LLC does not share your Personal Information with unaffiliated third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. We also do not sell your Personal Information, and we do not use it for targeted advertising based on your activity across others’ websites (a concept known as “sharing” under California law.)

Beranek, LLC can only honor verified requests. Once we receive your request, we will verify your identity by following our internal process for verification, which may require you to provide identifying information—such as your date of birth and last four digits of your Social Security number—or send us an email from your address we have on file.
