Privacy Supplement for California Job Applicants

 

Last Revised: January 1, 2023

This Privacy Supplement for California Job Applicants (“Supplemental Notice”) supplements the information in our Privacy Policy above and applies solely to California residents.  We adopt this Supplemental Notice to comply with the CCPA

California Consumer Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have certain choices regarding your personal information, as described below.

  • Access: You have the right to request, twice in a 12-month period, that we disclose to you the personal information we have collected, used, disclosed, and sold about you during the past 12 months.
  • Correction: You have the right to request that we correct the personal information we maintain about you, if that information is inaccurate.
  • Deletion: You have the right to request that we delete certain personal information we have collected from you.

How to Submit a Request.  To submit an access, correction or deletion request, please contact recruitment@herbalife.com, call 1-888-926-8905, or submit your request through the following link: https://privacyportal.onetrust.com/webform/46601746-6006-4c21-88ec-15dfa5b7dcdc/349bb89d-7008-46f7-b765-717966e11235.

Verifying Requests.  To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your personal information or complying with your request.  We may verify identity by requiring you to sign into your Herbalife Nutrition Careers webpage account.  If you do not have such an account or if you submit a request through an alternative method listed above (such as email or by phone), this verification process may require you to provide your name in combination with other pieces of personal information that we already hold on you, or, in certain circumstances, a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request.  If you designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, you must (1) verify your identity directly with us and (2) provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf.  To submit a request as an authorized agent on behalf of a job applicant, please use one of the designated methods above.

Additional Information.  We will not discriminate against anyone for exercising any of their rights. We typically do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may charge a reasonable fee to comply with your request if it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information about you for the period reasonably necessary to achieve the purposes outlined in this Supplement, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law, taking into account relevant statutes of limitations and our records retention requirements and policies.
