Legal Bases on Which We Use Your Information

We rely on the following legal bases when we process Personal Information about individuals in the EEA, Switzerland, the UK or Brazil.

• Contractual Necessity: We process your Personal Information to have a better understanding of your profile, experience, educational background and professional work experience. It enables us to assess your suitability for one of our job offerings and determines whether we will be offering you a contract.

• Consent: Additionally, we rely on your prior consent in order to contact you about future opportunities at Oxy. In this regard, please note that you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (without calling into question the processing previously carried out) by sending a request at the contact details specified at the end of this Privacy Statement.

To do so, please send a request to the contact specified at the end of this Privacy Statement.

Data Transfers

Oxy is headquartered in the United States (U.S.), so your Personal Information will be transferred to the US for the purposes referred to in this Privacy Statement. By obtaining our products or services or providing your Personal Information to us for any of the purposes described above, you acknowledge and agree that your Personal Information will be transferred to or stored in the United States.

For the purpose of providing our services, we rely on certain affiliates and service providers also located in the United States, and this may mean your Personal Information may be transferred to the United States.

When your Personal Information is transferred from your country outside of the U.S., including the EEA, Switzerland or the UK to another recipient located in a country whose legislation has not been recognized by the European Commission as having an adequate level of protection (such as the U.S.), we ensure that the transfer is governed by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. If you would like further information in this respect, please contact us at the contact details specified at the end of this Privacy Statement. When your Personal Information is transferred from Brazil, the transfer will be governed by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses until the Brazilian Data Protection Authority establishes standard contractual clauses.

Data Retention

We retain personal data for no longer than necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement, unless a longer retention period is permitted or required by applicable law.

The criteria used to determine our retention periods include the following:

• Our relationship with you;

• Your choices with respect to your personal information;

• Whether we have a legal obligation to keep the data (for example, in certain instances records of transaction data must be kept for a certain period of time before we can delete them);

• The permissibility of retention; or

• Whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to the enforcement of our agreements; the resolution of disputes; and applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigation).

Security

We take reasonable precautions, including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, to protect your Personal Information. We make reasonable efforts to maintain security on our systems. Despite our efforts, we cannot guarantee that Personal Information will not be accessed, disclosed or altered by breach of our safeguards. You should also take adequate precautions to protect your Personal Information.

 

U.S. State-Specific Privacy Rights

Residents of certain states may have certain additional rights in relation to their Personal Information, subject to certain exceptions. For example, you may have may the right—subject to exceptions and other applicable law—to:

• Right to transparency. Businesses that collect Personal Information and are subject to the aforementioned laws have a responsibility to provide you Statement regarding (i) the categories of Personal Information to be collected; (ii) the purposes for which the categories of Personal Information are collected or used; (iii) whether such Personal Information is sold or shared; (iv) the length of time they intend to retain each category of Personal Information, or if that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period and (v) other relevant information. This Privacy Statement contains such information; please read this Privacy Statement, as well as any additional terms provided to you at or before the collection of your Personal Information, in their entirety.

• Right toaccess. Right to access (i) the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you; (ii) the categories of sources from which we have collected such Personal Information; (iii) our business purpose for collecting such Personal Information and (iv) the categories of third parties with whom we have shared such Personal Information.

• Right to correct. Right to correct any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Information about you that we process.

• Right to delete. Right to delete any Personal Information about you that we process, subject to certain circumstances.

• Right to limit. Right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive Personal Information. Because we do not use sensitive Personal Information (to the extent it is even collected) for any purpose other than to provide our products and services and do not use it to infer characteristics about you, we do not provide this right.

• Right to opt out of “sales” and “sharing”. Right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” (as defined by the CPRA) of Personal Information. Although these are rights in California, i.e., to opt out of the transfer of Personal Information to third parties for monetary or valuable consideration or cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, Oxy does not “sell” or “share” your Personal Information and therefore does not provide this right.

Oxy does not discriminate against job applicants on the basis of their exercising any of their rights afforded by the CCPA and CPRA, which is further in accordance with California residents’ rights under the law.

To request access to your Personal Information or correct or delete your Personal Information, you may contact us using our contact information found at the end of this Privacy Statement.

Please specify in your request what Personal Information you would like to access, correct or delete.

We will first acknowledge receipt of your request within 10 business days after receipt of your request. We will provide a substantive response to your request within 45 calendar days after its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days or the permitted timeframe), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

Only you or an authorized agent (as described below) may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information.

• How to Authorize an Agent. You may designate an authorized agent to submit your verified consumer request on your behalf, only if the authorized agent has your written permission to do so and you have taken steps to verify your identity directly with us.

• How We Verify Your Request. To respond to your request, we must verify your identity or the authority of your authorized agent. We will only use the Personal Information provided in that context to verify your identity or the authority of your authorized agent to make the request. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. To allow us to verify your request, we will require that you provide at least two pieces of Personal Information, including your email address and phone number, we already have in our possession. We will verify your consumer request by comparing the information you provide to information already in our possession and take additional steps to minimize the risk of fraud.

Changes to This Privacy Statement

We may update this Privacy Statement periodically to account for changes in our collection and use of your Personal Information or due to updates in applicable law. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Statement, we will provide you with notice of such changes, as appropriate.
