Our Use of AI

When you apply for a job at NVIDIA, we use a tool that creates a “Match Score.” This score estimates how well your skills and experience fit a job based on your resume or application. We use Match Scores to find qualified candidates who might otherwise be overlooked. A low Match Score will not remove you from consideration.

Our hiring team reviews candidates using their own judgment. The Match Score is just one piece of information they may consider, but it does not control their decisions.

Transfer and Storage of Data

NVIDIA implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your Recruiting Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, change, or damage.

NVIDIA is located in California, and your information may be transferred to and stored in the U.S. To meet data protection requirements, we are a member of the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks, as well as the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (together referred to as “DPF”). This means we adhere to the Data Privacy Framework Principles of notice, choice, and accountability for onward transfer, security, data integrity, and purpose limitation, access, recourse, enforcement, and liability. We are responsible for the processing of Recruiting Data we receive under the DPF, or subsequently transfer to a third party acting as an agent on our behalf. We comply with the DPF for all onward transfers of Recruiting Data from the EEA (and as applicable, UK and Switzerland). We remain liable under the DPF if third-party agents that we engage to process Recruiting Data on our behalf do so in a manner inconsistent with the DPF, unless we prove that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

NVIDIA has committed to cooperating with the panel established by the EU data protection authorities (DPAs), the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) with regard to unresolved complaints concerning data transferred from the EU, Switzerland, and the UK.

Under certain conditions, you may invoke binding arbitration to resolve any complaint. We are subject to U.S. law, and we may be required to share data with U.S. law enforcement agencies. We are subject to enforcement by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. To learn more about the DPF, please visit the U.S. Department of Commerce DPF website: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/. For more information regarding our DPF certification, please see: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?id=a2zt00000008SEhAAM&status=Active.

Recipients of Data

We may share your Recruiting Data with third-party vendors and other service providers that perform services for us or on our behalf, including to providers of human resources management and recruitment software. These recipients will use your Recruiting Data as processors only on our instructions. We may also disclose your Recruiting Data to third parties as required by law or if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement; (b) comply with legal process; (c) receive legal advice; (d) respond to requests from public or government authorities, including public or government authorities outside your country of residence; (e) detect and investigate security incidents, abuse, fraud, illegal activities, and breaches of agreements; or (f) exercise or protect the rights and property of NVIDIA, or the rights and property and personal safety of our team members or third parties.

These recipients include parties that are located in the United States. If you are in the UK or EEA, when we transfer Recruiting Data to these recipients, we will ensure that the recipient processes the Recruiting Data in a manner that conforms with the DPF principles by entering into agreements that contain appropriate safeguards, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (as amended or supplemented to comply with requirements under applicable law in the UK and Switzerland), or verifying that the recipient is also certified to the DPF.

Data Retention

We retain Recruiting Data for as long as you continue to interact with us by applying for jobs or expressing interest in career opportunities. If you stop interacting with us, we will retain your Recruiting Data for no more than three years if you are in the UK or EEA, and no more than five years in all other regions, unless a shorter retention period is set to account for variation in local standards.

Sensitive Information

The following Recruiting Data we collect may be classified as “sensitive” under certain privacy laws (“sensitive information”): information relating to racial and ethnic origin.

We use this sensitive information for the purposes set forth in the How We Use, Store, and Share Recruiting Data section above.

We do not sell sensitive information, and we do not process or otherwise share sensitive information for the purpose of targeted advertising. However, subject to certain legal limitations and exceptions, you may be able to limit our processing of sensitive information (as described in the Your Rights and How to Exercise Them section below).

Before processing your request, we will need to verify your identity. In order to verify your identity, we may at times need to request additional personal information from you, taking into consideration our relationship with you and the sensitivity of your request. In certain circumstances, we may decline a Privacy Rights request, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity.

Authorized Agents

In certain circumstances, you are permitted to use an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf through the designated methods set forth above, where we can verify the authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf. In order to verify the authorized agent’s authority, we generally require evidence of either (i) a valid power of attorney or (ii) a signed letter containing your name and contact information, the name and contact information of the authorized agent, and a statement of authorization for the request. Depending on the evidence provided, we may still need to separately reach out to you to confirm the authorized agent has permission to act on your behalf and to verify your identity in connection with the request.
