Specifically, it explains what personal information we collect when you request information, apply for such a position or create a profile, what information is observed or collected through technology, how information is used, what information is shared with third parties, and how information is safeguarded. By “personal information” we mean any information about an identifiable individual, like name, home address, email address and information in your resume and application; and any other information which we collect from other sources and associate with your application for employment. We may refer to L Brands, Inc., its subsidiaries or its brands as “we,” “us,” or “our” throughout this privacy policy.
By submitting your resume/CV, employment application materials, and any follow-up information to us, you are agreeing that we may collect, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy, as required or authorized by law or as further authorized by you.
WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION IS COLLECTED AND HOW IS IT USED?
We collect personal information directly from you in order to respond to your requests, for you to create a profile or for us to evaluate you for a position at any of our brands’ stores or facilities and, if hired, to create your employment file and establish your employment relationship. Examples of the information we collect include name, address, telephone number, mobile phone number, email address, work experience, educational history, your resume, references, job preferences/interests, and other information that helps us evaluate your potential employment or, if hired, begin employment with us.

If you are offered employment, we may also ask you to provide certain personal information required to complete the onboarding process for the role which you have been offered. For example, we may also collect social security number (or local equivalent), bank account numbers, dependent personal information, marital status, gender, date of birth, and emergency contact information.
