Where consent is required, we will seek it through an appropriate process. Users may withdraw consent in accordance with applicable law, although this may affect our ability to provide certain services.

We will explain the relevant information-sharing process where applicable. Users should review the privacy practices of external employers and platforms before submitting applications.
