Certain jurisdictions require that we disclose the lawful basis upon which we process your personal information for the purposes listed above. Those jurisdictions also permit you to obtain information about how we assess our legitimate interests or object to our processing your personal information when we rely on our legitimate interests. You can do so by using the email address listed below.
We collect and process Contact Data, Identity Data, Application-Related Data, Assessment Data, and Reference Data in reliance on one or more of the following lawful bases:
  • To enter into a contract with you.
  • As necessary for our legitimate interests (e.g., recruiting and hiring suitable and qualified candidates; communicating with you; managing our human resources, benchmarking, business forecasting and contingency planning; monitoring, analyzing and improving our recruitment and application review processes; security and preventing fraud; investigating allegations or establishing, exercising or defending legal claims; maintaining appropriate records and satisfying record retention requirements)
  • For legal and regulatory compliance.
  • Based on your consent, including when we retain your personal data for future job opportunities or to conduct a background or similar checks to the extent permitted by applicable law.

We may collect and process sensitive data in the following ways:
  • We may use information about your disability status to consider potential accommodations during the recruitment process, such as whether adjustments need to be made for any interview you are invited to attend;
  • We may use information about your race or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or sexual orientation, to ensure meaningful equal opportunity monitoring and reporting.
  • To keep records related to our hiring processes;
  • To respond to or manage legal claims, including civil discovery in litigation; and

Certain jurisdictions require that we disclose the lawful basis upon which we process your sensitive data. We may process sensitive data for the purposes listed above in reliance on the following lawful bases:
  • With your explicit consent, in accordance with applicable law;
  • For carrying out obligations and exercising specific rights of Warburg Pincus or you in the field of employment and social security and social protection law in so far as it is authorized by domestic law or a collective agreement pursuant to domestic law;

For example, if we require a credit check or references to determine your suitability for the role and you fail to provide us with relevant details, we will not be able to take your application further.
After we receive from you all requested application materials, we will then process that information to decide whether or not to invite you for an interview.

During the application process, you will not be subject to decisions that have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making.
How do we handle information about criminal convictions?
Depending on the role you apply for, we may need to or choose to collect information about your criminal convictions history during the application process. Where the law allows or requires us to, we will carry out criminal records check in order to assess whether there is anything in your criminal convictions history that could make you unsuitable for employment with us.
