Privacy Agreement 

Hilton Grand Vacations, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (“HGV”) value your trust and are committed to the responsible management, use and protection of personal information. This Applicant Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) applies to all the information collected by HGV to facilitate your job application and includes your use of our careers site, located at http://jobs.hiltongrandvacations.com (the “Careers Site”). Personal information submitted to other HGV web sites will be used in accordance with our Global Privacy Policy (located on our internal team member portal).

 

The Careers Site is operated by Hilton Grand Vacations, Inc., 6355 Metrowest Blvd, Suite 180, Orlando, FL 32835, in order to support the recruitment functions of HGV. The Careers Site is not intended for distribution or use in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to local law or regulation. 

 

In some locations around the world, HGV manages hotel properties on behalf of a third party owner.  At many of those properties, the Hotel owner is the actual employer, and HGV performs recruiting and hiring functions on behalf of the owner.  I understand and agree that, by applying through this site, I may be applying for a position with a company other than HGV where HGV is serving only as the recruiter and will not be my actual employer. 

 

Please read this Policy carefully and indicate your acceptance of our collection, retention, use, transfer and disclosure of personal information as described in this Policy by clicking the “I Accept” button at the end of this Policy. If you do not accept the terms you will not be allowed access to apply for a position online and we may be otherwise unable to process your application.  

 

By agreeing to this Policy, you agree to the transfer of personal information about you to countries outside your home country, including countries where data protection laws may differ from those of your home country. HGV maintains safeguards designed to protect your personal information. 

 

To the extent the personal information you provide contains details of your: racial or ethnic origin; physical or mental health or condition; job evaluations or educational records; commission (or alleged commission) of an offence or related proceedings; political opinions or beliefs; religious beliefs; sex life; membership in a trade union or political party, you expressly authorize HGV to handle such details for the purposes of your job application.

Any information you submit must be true, complete, not misleading and you must have the lawful right to provide it. If not, this may lead to a rejection of your application during the application process or disciplinary action including immediate dismissal if you have been employed. If you intend to provide us with details of a reference or any other third party as part of your CV/résumé, it is your responsibility to obtain consent from that third party prior to passing the personal information to us. 

 

The provision of personal information, including on the Careers Site, is voluntary. Please note however that the failure to provide sufficient information may result in HGV being unable to consider you for employment, promotion, transfer or relocation. 

Use of Personal Information 

 

The information that you submit in your application on the Careers Site will be stored in the United States (and in the relevant jurisdiction(s) if the job relates to one of HGV’s affiliated entities outside of the United States).

Personal information about you will be reviewed by HGV Team Members or agents who have a business need to access such personal information and may include recruiters, human resources personnel, technical services personnel and managers or their designees. Hilton Grand Vacations, Inc. is the party responsible for management of the personal information that is jointly used within HGV. 

 

We may share personal information about you with selected service providers or consultants acting on our behalf, such as third parties assisting HGV with the operation of the Careers Site (including Oracle at 500 Oracle Parkway, Redwood Shores, CA 94065 USA, which hosts the Careers Site, and SHL at 1 Atwell Place, Thames Ditton, Surrey, KT7 0NE UK, which conducts job-specific candidate assessments). Those third parties will be required to use appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality and security of personal information.

We are required to retain information relating to candidates applying for jobs within the United States. Personal information of candidates applying for jobs in other parts of the world will be retained in accordance with local law. If there is no activity in relation to the personal information, HGV may remove it from its database, subject to HGV’s data retention obligations and policies and any applicable legal or regulatory obligations or for the period of time permitted by local laws, for the purpose of considering whether your skills are suitable for other opportunities. Note that HGV may delete personal information about you at any time (including your CV/résumé), without any reason. Therefore, please retain your own copy of the personal information provided to us. 

We and our service providers may use “cookies” and similar technologies on the Careers Site. Cookies are data that a web server transfers to an individual's computer for record keeping purposes. We use cookies and other technologies to better serve you with more tailored information and facilitate your ongoing access to and use of our Careers Site. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer of a particular cookie, or cookies from a particular website, to your computer.  However, if you decline Oracle’s session management cookies, the Careers Site may not function properly for you.  To learn more about cookies, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/.

Access and Correction  

 

If you choose to register on the site, you may access, review, and change some of the personal information collected about you and stored on the Careers Site by logging into the Careers Site and choosing to update your account information.

To change personal information that you already have submitted for consideration for a specific position, please resubmit your application to update personal information about you that is associated with that job application. We encourage you to promptly update your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate.
