This Global Candidate Privacy Notice ("Notice") describes how ClickUp collects, uses, and processes your personal data. ClickUp needs to process - or use, collect, transmit, store, disclose, and erase - certain personal data in order to evaluate your employment application. If you are hired, ClickUp needs to process certain personal data to prepare for your employment, such as making arrangements to pay you, providing you with benefits, and fulfilling statutory and other contractual requirements.
