Please note that Boeing does not sell your Personal Information, share that information for the purposes of behavioral advertising, or re-identify de-identified data.

 

Further information regarding the legal basis relied upon to process your Personal Information can be found below.

 

How We Collect Your Information and Who Provides it

 

We obtain Personal Information through fair and lawful means. In many cases, we obtain your Personal Information directly from you or our interactions with you, such as when you complete an application or enter information about yourself into our systems. In other cases, we infer Personal Information through your interactions with us, such as through your use of the company's equipment, systems, and networks. Finally, some of the Personal Information we obtain may come from other sources, such as your manager, references, background checks, assessments, or vendors (with consent). Please know that we assess these activities and ensure they are permitted by law.

 

Why We can Process Your Personal Information

 

We will only collect, use, and share your Personal Information when there is an appropriate legal basis to do so. This may be because:

  • You have voluntarily provided your Personal Information and have consented for us to process it. However, where the collection or processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time to the extent permitted by applicable law, provided that any revocation of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any completed processing.

  • Use of your Personal Information is necessary for our legitimate interests or those pursued by a third party, provided those interests are not outweighed by the related risk to individuals. The legitimate interests pursued by Boeing include but are not limited to establishing and maintaining an employment relationship with you, compliance with contractual obligation, protection of company resources and information, workplace health and safety, and conducting normal business operations.

  • Use of your Personal Information is necessary to perform or enter into a contract with you.

  • Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of you or another person.

  • Use of your Personal Information is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Who Your Information is Shared With

 

Your Personal Information will be made available for the purposes mentioned above and access will be limited for certain business functions, including but not limited to management, human resources, accounting, security, and to third parties providing services under contract to Boeing, such as payroll processors and technology service providers.

Certain information may also be disclosed to governmental entities in compliance with applicable laws in the United States or other countries, such as to those agencies authorized to review and enforce equal opportunity laws, or for tax, insurance, labor, safety, or other purposes.

 

Personal Information may also be released to external parties as required by labor statutes or agreements, or by legal process, to our professional advisors (such as accountants, auditors, and lawyers) as well as to parties to which you authorize Boeing to release your Personal Information.

Personal Information may also be disclosed to third parties providing services under contract to Boeing (under obligation to protect the security and confidentiality of the information) who have a need to know the specific information in question to carry out their specific responsibilities and Statements of Work.

In the event of a reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets, or stock, Boeing is likely to disclose your Personal Information to associated entities and their professional advisors, subject to a requirement that such information be used only in accordance with this notice or as otherwise permitted under an applicable agreement.

 

Where Does Your Information Go

 

Your Personal Information (e.g., payroll files, benefits information, etc.) may be maintained at your place of employment and some information relating to you may be transferred to or stored and processed in the United States or another country where Boeing or its affiliates or subcontractors maintain facilities. The data protection laws in these countries are different from and could be less or more stringent than those in your country of residence, but we take steps to ensure that the data we collect under this notice is secured and processed according to the provisions of this notice and the requirements of applicable law wherever the data is located.

The primary company system of record for human resources data is in the United States and it shares Personal Information with other systems hosted by or on behalf of our company. These other systems will only process Personal Information in accordance with and as permitted by applicable laws. Boeing has put in place adequate measures, such as standard contractual clauses, to adequately protect cross-border transfers. Boeing also requires all its agents, third parties under contract, and subsidiaries to abide by applicable privacy and data protection requirements in the jurisdictions in which they operate. Boeing is responsible for the service providers who process your data on Boeing's behalf and is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission.

 

Retention and Deletion of Your Personal Information

 

We retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill its intended use and to comply with applicable legal obligations. The required retention period varies depending on the type of information and the laws in your location. The specific retention period for business records is set forth in company retention schedules in accordance with company records and information management requirements. When no longer needed, we either anonymize or dispose of your Personal Information using Company approved standard methods, which have been developed to prevent loss, theft, misuse, or unauthorized access.

 

Automated Decision Making

 

Boeing may make certain decisions based solely on automated processing in a variety of ways (including through the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence) to support and improve business operations. Boeing does not, however, subject your Personal Information to automated decision making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. To exercise any rights and choices available, you can visit the Boeing Privacy Rights Request Portal at https://boeing.com/privacy/rightsexerciseportal.

With some job requisitions and in select jurisdictions, Boeing may deploy a tool to perform specific recruiting tasks that rely on machine learning (also referred to as artificial intelligence or AI). This tool screens internal and external candidates by generating a score based on the matched qualifications provided by the candidates and the qualifications outlined in the job requisition. Boeing recruiters use the score as a guide to further evaluate candidates. The score does not automatically result in a decision as to whether the candidate moves forward. Additionally, Boeing uses this tool to consider candidates for open job requisitions. Boeing may use these tools to compare your Personal Information against open job requisitions. If you are a match, a Boeing recruiter may contact you regarding the matched requisition. Please know that Boeing does not use your information for either of these use cases unless you opt-in.

In both scenarios, the use of the tool does not supplant human judgment. It merely helps Boeing recruiters and hiring managers expediently identify which candidates have stated that they meet the requirements of the jobs to which they applied or could apply to. Our recruiters and hiring managers always have complete discretion on which applicants they select, and what information they weight or consider. These tools do not influence any decision making. The tools simply indicate which candidates match the stated job requirements and to what extent.

If you previously opted in, but now wish to opt-out of either activity outlined above, please submit a request using the information from the Contact Us section.

 

How we Protect Your Information

 

Boeing uses appropriate administrative, technical, personnel, and physical measures to safeguard your Personal Information against loss, theft, and unauthorized use or modification. In addition, we exercise special precautions in dealing with sensitive Personal Information. The quality of your Personal Information is assured through technological and administrative controls that mitigate potentially adverse effects on personal rights or interests due to the inaccuracy or incompleteness of Personal Information.

 

Your Obligations in Connection with Personal Information

 

It is important that the Personal Information we hold about you is accurate and current. We ask that you promptly inform us when the Personal Information we hold is inaccurate or changes so appropriate corrections can be made. If you fail to provide certain information when requested we may not be able to perform the contract we have entered into with you (for example, we may not be able to pay you if you do not provide your bank details) or we may be prevented from complying with other legal obligations.

There may also be cases where you provide us with the Personal Information of others, for example in relation to pension entitlement and the provision of other benefits when you provide the details of your dependents or beneficiaries. Where this occurs, we ask that you explain to affected individuals that the Personal Information is being collected for these purposes and that you provide them with a copy of this notice, if requested.
