Voluntary Self-Identification Information
Any disability or protected-veteran self-identification information requested for federal-contractor compliance is voluntary. Declining to provide it will not subject an applicant to adverse treatment.
When collected, this information is maintained separately from materials used to evaluate qualifications and is accessed only as authorized or required by law.
Retention
DarkStar retains applicant information for the period reasonably necessary to complete the recruiting process, consider candidates for other positions, comply with federal-contractor recordkeeping requirements, resolve disputes, and meet other legal or contractual obligations. Information is securely deleted or de-identified when it is no longer required, subject to applicable retention rules.
Information Security
DarkStar uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect applicant information. However, no online system or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Third-Party Recruiting Platforms
DarkStar may use Paylocity or another third-party applicant-tracking platform to receive and manage applications. Information submitted through an external platform may also be governed by that provider’s privacy notice and security practices. Applicants should review the privacy notice presented by the platform before submitting information.
Applicant Choices and Questions
Applicants may contact DarkStar to request access to or correction of their applicant information, withdraw from consideration, or ask a privacy-related question. Requests will be evaluated and processed as required by applicable law.
