2.2 Sources From Which We Collect Personal Data

New Relic obtains personal data directly from you; for example, in your job application, forms you complete for us, and any personal data you provide us during the course of your application and the recruiting process. In addition, New Relic may obtain personal data about you from your references or from a background check report and from publicly available data (including, but not limited to, professional networking sites, contributor credits, as a referral from an existing New Relic employee, third party recruiting platforms, and trade publications) in connection with your application, as permitted by applicable law, public internet sources, i.e. social media, job boards, public profiles and other public online sources including credentialing or licensing organizations (if applicable). 

Except where such personal data is legally required and specifically requested by New Relic due to that legal requirement, we ask that you avoid submitting the following personal data, which may qualify as sensitive personal data (or special categories of personal data) under applicable law:  personal data on race, religion, ethnicity, nationality or national origin, age, gender identity, sexual practices or orientation, marital status, medical or health personal data (including disability status), genetic or biometric personal data, biometric templates, political or philosophical beliefs, political party or trade union membership, veteran status, background check personal data, and judicial data such as criminal records or personal data on other judicial or administrative proceedings. We may be required by U.S. law to request specific data on some of these topics (e.g., disability or veteran status) for jobs located in the U.S.

To the extent the personal data you provide, including in your job evaluations or educational records, contains types of personal data referenced in the preceding paragraph and which may be required by New Relic as a result of a legal obligation in applicable jurisdictions, you expressly authorize New Relic to handle such details for the purposes of your job application or for ensuring fair and equitable hiring practices.

Any information you submit during the application process must be true, complete, and not misleading. Submitting inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information may lead to a rejection of your application during the application process or disciplinary action, including immediate termination of employment.  

In addition, it is your responsibility to ensure that information you submit does not violate any third party’s rights, including privacy rights. If you give us personal data about anyone else (e.g., a reference), you should first provide this person a link to New Relic General Data Privacy Notice, notify them that you want to share their personal data with us for the purposes described, and obtain their consent.


3. How We Use Your Personal Data

We collect and process personal data about you for the following reasons:

  • because you voluntarily provide this personal data; 
  • because this personal data is necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering into an employment or internship; or
  • because this personal data is of particular importance to us and we have a specific legitimate interest under applicable law to process it. 

The personal data you submit will be used for New Relic’s global personnel recruitment, management and planning purposes, as permitted by applicable local law, including:  

  • to process your application;
  • to assess your capabilities and qualifications for a job; 
  • to conduct reference checks;
  • to respond to your inquiries and communicate with you about your application, and to send you information regarding the Careers Site and changes to our terms and policies;
  • to comply with or monitor compliance with any applicable law or regulation;  
  • to conduct background checks if we offer you a position, subject to applicable law; and
  • to preserve our other legitimate interests, for example, for New Relic’s administrative purposes, aggregate management reporting, internal training, and as generally required to conduct our business within New Relic;
  • to help us understand the diversity of our workforce and to support core business diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives; or 
  • where necessary to protect the vital interests of any person.

We will make the personal data available to New Relic personnel with a business need to know, including personnel in the recruiting, human resources, security, and information technology departments, and in the department responsible for the position for which you are applying.  

The personal data about you will be added to New Relic’s recruiting database and may be used to consider you for opportunities at New Relic other than the one(s) for which you apply. If you do not wish us to do this, please email resume@newrelic.com.   

If we hire you, personal data we collect in connection with your application may be incorporated into our human resources system and may be used to manage the new-hire process; any such information may become part of your employee file and may be used for other employment-related purposes. 


4. Other Bases for Processing Your Personal Data

New Relic may also use the personal data we collect as we believe to be necessary or appropriate: 

  • under applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence; 
  • to comply with legal process; 
  • to respond to requests from public and government authorities, including public and government authorities outside your country of residence; 
  • to enforce our terms and conditions; 
  • to protect our operations; 
  • to protect our rights;
  • to protect your rights, privacy, safety or property, and that of other individuals; and 
  • to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.

New Relic might also use your sensitive (special category) medical personal data for the following purposes (and only where applicable):

  • To the extent necessary to comply with New Relic’s legal obligations, such as to accommodate disabilities;
  • To protect the health and safety of New Relic’s employees and facilities, for example, to take your temperature when required by law or public health authorities; 
  • For occupational health and safety compliance and record-keeping;
  • To conduct pre-employment medical examinations; and 
  • To respond to a medical emergency.

Providing personal data to us is voluntary. However, if you do not provide sufficient information, New Relic may be unable to consider your employment application.

If you are successful with your application, your personal data will be kept in accordance with our Employee Privacy Notice which you will be provided with upon being hired. If you are unsuccessful with your application, we may also, contingent upon your consent where required, retain your personal data for the purpose of considering whether your skills are suitable for other opportunities. Where applicable, your personal data will be kept for the duration of the application process and during a period of one year after confirmation that your application was unsuccessful. If you do not wish to be considered for opportunities other than those to which you apply, please email resume@newrelic.com with your request.

As part of the recruitment process, your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries where we or our service providers operate. These may be countries other than the country in which you are located. These countries may have privacy laws that are different from the laws of your country.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom (UK) your personal data will be accessed by New Relic personnel or suppliers, transferred, and/or stored outside the EEA, Switzerland and/or the UK.

Should this extension be necessary, we will explain the reasons why. For your protection, we may only fulfill requests with respect to the personal data associated with the particular email address that you use to send us your request, and we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. With respect to deletion requests, we may be required (by law or otherwise) to keep personal data and not remove it (or to keep this information for a certain time, in which case we will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled such requirements). We will let you know if we are unable to comply with this request and the reasons why.
