Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you reside and legal limitations, applicable laws in your jurisdiction may grant you the right to make certain privacy requests. Applicants that do not live in one of these jurisdictions, may still make the same privacy requests, and we will take reasonable steps to fulfill them.

Privacy rights requests. Subject to certain limitations and exemptions, applicants may make a request to:

• Access (or to ‘know’): You may request a copy of the personal information we have collected about you.
• Delete: You may request that we delete the personal information we have collected about you under certain circumstances. 
• Correct: You may request to have inaccurate information about you corrected.
• Opt-out/object: You may opt out of or object to certain types of processing of your personal information, including ‘sales’ of personal information to third parties and ‘sharing’ and processing personal information to serve ‘targeted advertising.’

How to make a request to access, delete, or correct:

If you have registered with Gap’s Careers Site, you may log in to your candidate profile to access, delete, and correct personal information stored on the Careers Site. The updated profile will be used as the default the next time you apply for a job using your account online. To update personal information that you submitted as part of an application for a specific position, please edit your application for that position. We encourage you to promptly update your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate. Upon your request, we will also deactivate or remove your personal information from our active databases, although some information may be retained as permitted or required by applicable laws.

Exceptions and other reasons we may deny a request to access, delete, or correct:

We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law. Please note, however, that certain personal information may be exempt from such requests pursuant to applicable data protection laws or other laws and regulations.

We may not be able to honor certain requests to the extent they restrict our ability to comply with applicable law (including cooperation with law enforcement) or our regulatory requirements, we believe information is necessary to exercise or defend an existing or anticipated legal claim, and where the information is necessary to protect our rights, operations, and property, or the rights, privacy, safety, and property of others. If we are unable to honor a request, we will explain why.

Data Transfers

Our Careers Site, which is available to applicants in multiple jurisdictions, is operated by The Gap Inc. from the United States. However, any hiring or other employment-related decisions will be made by the hiring affiliate in accordance with the laws of the country where that Gap group entity is located. If we share your personal information with an affiliate located in another country in its capacity as a potential employer, the affiliate will handle your personal information in accordance with this Policy. 

Any personal information you submit to the Careers Site will be stored and processed in, and subject to the laws of, the United States and other jurisdictions where Gap group entities or our service providers and vendors have operations. If you are located in the United Kingdom or the EEA, you should know that the United States and these other jurisdictions may not have equivalent data protection laws as those in the UK and EEA. In such cases European Union/European Economic Area, we have put in place adequate measures, such as standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission to provide appropriate safeguards for the transfer of your information. You may obtain more information about these safeguards by contacting us at privacy@gap.com or writing to us at the address in the ‘Contact Us‘ section below.  

Third-party Sites and Platforms

We may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave Gap’s websites. This Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of these third parties. The inclusion of links to third-party websites does not imply endorsement of the linked sites or the applicable third parties’ services by Gap or our affiliates.

Residents of Japan.

If you are an applicant who resides in Japan, the Gap entity that employs you and The Gap, Inc. will remain jointly responsible for personal information about you that is transferred and jointly used pursuant to this Policy.

‘Sensitive Personal Information’ means information that is defined under the Personal Information Protection Law as information that requires special consideration in order to prevent unjust discrimination, prejudice, or other disadvantages to the individual, such as an individual’s race creed, social status, medical history, criminal history, the fact that the individual has been harmed by a crime, or other information that requires special consideration in order to prevent unjust discrimination, prejudice, or other disadvantages to the individual, and includes but is not limited to results of medical examinations, etc.

• If necessary to improve the public health or promote the sound growth of children and it is difficult to obtain your consent.

• When applicable Sensitive Personal Information has already been disclosed by you, a state organ, a local government, a press organization, an academic institution, or a religious or political organization, etc.
• In cases where Sensitive Personal Information may be clearly self-evident by direct visual observation, for example, by viewing security camera footage in our stores.
• When sharing such information with our service providers.
• In the unlikely event that we transfer data in connection with the take-over of a business in a merger.
• When we jointly use Sensitive Personal Information with third parties.
• In cases where Gap receives Sensitive Personal Information, which is personal data, in the cases listed in each item of Article 27, Paragraph 5 of the Personal Information Protection Law (cases of entrustment, succession of business, and joint use).

Gap may provide Sensitive Personal Information (however, limited to information that has been compiled into a database) to a third party without the consent of the individual in any of the following cases:

• When providing Sensitive Personal Information to contractors who provide services to Gap within the scope necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Notice or legally revised purposes.
• In the event that Gap transfers the Sensitive Personal Information as a result of the succession of business in the unlikely event of a merger or for any other reason.
• When sharing the Sensitive Personal Information with a third party. Where applicable, Gap shall notify the individual in advance or make readily accessible to the individual the items of Sensitive Personal Information that will be jointly used, the scope of joint use, the purpose of use by the party using the information, and the name and address of the person responsible for managing the personal information requiring special consideration, as well as the name of the representative of such party.

An applicant’s Individual Number will only be collected, used or disclosed for very limited and legislated purposes, as described in our Individual Number privacy statements. It will not be used as a general identifier and Gap will only ask for it when permitted by law.
