Your information is stored on a server in the United States of America and is visible to all ECM Group sites worldwide, including in countries where laws may not protect data privacy to the same extent as the laws of the country or region in which you live. If your application is considered for employment, it will only be used for those purposes and will normally be considered primarily in locations where the position(s) are available.
