1. General information
A.P. Møller – Mærsk A/S and the Maersk Group, and where applicable joint ventures and associated companies of the Group (‘APMM’), recognise and respect the privacy of our applicants, current employees and former employees. This Privacy Statement concerns personal data submitted by you during your online or paper application process, personal data collected by APMM as part of the recruitment process, personal data collected by APMM as part of a previous employment process and personal data submitted in the Candidate Pool. By clicking “Yes, I have read the Privacy Statement and I accept it”, you consent to APMM using, storing and otherwise processing your personal data (including any sensitive personal data) in accordance with the description below.

2. Collection of personal data
To apply for a position online within APMM you have to register a profile on our website using a username and a password of your own choice. Your username and password will be required to gain access to your profile. You can also register a profile without applying for a specific position or without releasing your profile in the Candidate Pool.
When applying for a position within APMM, you will be requested to submit personal information to your profile, such as your name, e-mail address, mobile phone number, your primary language and an attachment of your resume/CV. You may also be requested to provide additional information, such as your address, cover letter, relevant education and any other relevant information required for APMM to evaluate your application. You may be requested to respond to various assessment tests, including assessment tests on logical reasoning and personality profiling. You will be informed prior to any collection of your personal data, including in case of references being collected during the recruitment process if required according to applicable local law. Furthermore, we will obtain consent for collecting references if required according to applicable local law.
If you are already employed within APMM, personal data collected by APMM as part of this employment process, including but not limited to information on your internal job history, appraisals, assessment and profiling results, education and courses will automatically accompany your application when you apply for a new position internally. If you have previously been employed within APMM, you explicitly consent to your employee data being stored in accordance with the internal policies and applicable local law from this employment, including but not limited to information on your internal job history, reason for termination, appraisals, assessment and profiling results, education and courses.
If you are applying for a position where health certification is required by law or internal policy, for example in all positions offshore, you may also be required to participate in a health examination in compliance with applicable local law.
If you are applying for a position where a criminal history record, credit report or visa/work permit etc. is required by law or internal policy, you may be required to provide these as well, in compliance with local law.
If your application is successful, the job offer may be conditional on pre-employment checks being carried out to APMM’s satisfaction.
APMM is collecting information that makes it possible for us to assess your candidacy for our available positions. APMM is an equal opportunity employer (in accordance with applicable federal, state and local law) and makes all employment-related decisions entirely on merit and qualifications. Consequently, you should only include information relevant for the review of your application, and disregard information such as your race or ethnic origin, your political or philosophical orientation, your religious beliefs, your union memberships or your sexual orientation. If you are applying for a position in the US you will be asked to provide certain specific demographic information in a separate questionnaire due to APMM’s obligation to collect information for equal opportunity compliance purposes. The assessment of your application will not be affected in any way should you choose not to provide the listed information.
If you are below the local legal age applicable (18 years in Denmark) please make sure to consult your parents/legal guardian before applying for a position with APMM. Please also be informed that APMM requires your parents’/legal guardian’s consent before an employment relationship may be established.

3. Purpose of using your personal data
APMM processes the personal data submitted by you or collected from other parties for the purpose of assessing your candidacy for our available positions, as well as for HR and personnel administration purposes, evaluating the use of our websites for statistical purposes and for compliance with any laws to which APMM is subject.

4. How we use your personal data
By accepting this Privacy Statement you explicitly consent to and authorise HR professionals in the HR department responsible for the recruitment process, as well as hiring managers involved in the recruitment, to gain access to any and all of the personal data included in your application.

Your current manager will not be informed at this stage. However, we may at a later stage wish to collect references, including from your current manager. See the procedure described in Section 2 of this Privacy Statement.
If you have previously been employed within APMM, you explicitly consent to your employee data being stored in accordance with the internal policies and applicable local legislation from this employment, including but not limited to information on your internal job history, reason for termination, appraisals, assessment and profiling results, education and courses, which will automatically accompany your application when you apply for a new position within APMM, and thus subsequently be processed by APMM during this recruitment process.
Part of the support to our HR departments has been offshored to service centres outside the EU, currently in India, the Philippines, China, the US, Costa Rica, Brazil, Poland, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia and Japan, and authorised HR and IT employees based in these service centres will also have access to the personal data submitted by you or collected by APMM with your consent.

The same applies for other suppliers located globally that APMM contractually assigns to process personal data on our behalf, including but not limited to external third parties performing various assessment tests during the recruitment process. However, any such suppliers providing services on behalf of APMM have to meet high data security standards to protect your personal data (including any sensitive data).
The personal data submitted by you or collected by APMM during the recruitment process may also be shared with any third party, courts, government body, regulator, law enforcement office or any other applicable authority, if mandated due to legal or regulatory requirements.
You understand and accept that the personal data you are submitting in connection with an application and other submitted personal information including potential assessment tests results, interview conclusions, etc. may be disclosed to HR professionals in the HR department responsible for the recruitment process of another APMM company, including in another country, if at a later stage (see below) you decide to apply for a position at this APMM company.

The Candidate Pool is a shared pool for candidates to release their profile and share their data in the database for future job opportunities in APMM. If you decide to release your profile in the Candidate Pool, you explicitly consent to personal data submitted by you during your online or paper application process, personal data collected by APMM as part of the recruitment process and personal data collected by APMM as part of a previous employment process, including but not limited to potential assessment tests results, interview conclusions and an overview of previous applications (and whether they are in process, rejected, etc.) being made available and disclosed to authorised APMM HR professionals around the world, including in territories other than your preferred employment location. An updated list of the APMM companies worldwide is published on a yearly basis together with the annual report. The company overview can be found here (http://investor.maersk.com/fin...)
