Note that if you visit our public facing websites, we may collect personal information from you in the form of cookies or your IP address. This information is not collected in the context of you as a job applicant and is not covered by this Notice. For information regarding how we collect, process and disclose personal information in the context of cookies or other online identifiers, view our Cookies Policy section of Exact Sciences Privacy Policy.
Your job applicant personal information will be retained for a time period based upon your experience in the Exact Sciences' job application process. If you are ultimately hired as an Exact Sciences employee, your job applicant personal information will be deleted at that time. Exact Sciences will then collect personal information from you in the context of your employment, which is described in a separate privacy notice that will be provided to you at the appropriate time. Otherwise, your job applicant personal information will be maintained by Exact Sciences for two years, unless you actively re-engage with our hiring process, wherein the two-year retention period will restart from the time of re-engagement.
We may process your job applicant personal information into aggregated, anonymized or de-identified form for any purpose. Aggregated, anonymized or de-identified information is information that can no longer reasonably identify a specific individual and is no longer "personal information." We will only maintain and use this type of information in deidentified form and we will not attempt to reidentify this information, except for the purposes of validating our deidentification process.
We take a range of reasonable measures to protect your personal information and to store it in a secure environment, whether that is in paper or electronic form. We also take reasonable steps to protect any personal information from misuse, loss and/or unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. If you have additional questions regarding security, please contact us directly using the information provided under Contact Us.
The California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") provides the residents of California with the right to request the data rights as described in this section. For more information, or if you have questions, you can contact us using the information provided under Contact Us.
Once we receive your request to exercise a right, we will confirm receipt and begin to evaluate, and if appropriate, process the request. We may require that you provide additional information to confirm your identity, including providing us with at least two or more pieces of personal information to match against personal information that we currently maintain about you. We reserve the right to reject your request if we are unable to verify your identity to a sufficiently high level of certainty. The information you provide to verify your identity will only be used for verification purposes, and a record of your request, including certain information contained within it, will be maintained by Exact Sciences for our files.
If we reject a request for any reason, we will inform you of the basis of the rejection.

We do not "sell" or "share" the personal information of California residents, including of those under the age of sixteen, as those terms are defined by California law:

You may further request to know the specific pieces of personal information collected by Exact Sciences beyond 12 months into the past, but note that this additional time frame only applies to personal information collected by Exact Sciences after January 1, 2022, and Exact Sciences may have deleted your personal information in accordance with our data retention policy.

We will make every effort to comply with California residents&' requests to delete their personal information, however, certain laws or other legal requirements might prevent some personal information from being deleted. If you are a California resident and would like to request the deletion of your personal information, please contact us using the information provided under Contact Us. To verify any request to delete personal information, you may be required to provide identity verification information. Failure to do so could result in Exact Sciences' inability to comply with your request.

You may be required to provide documentation to support your assertion that your personal information as maintained by Exact Sciences is incorrect.

Right to Non-Discrimination: California residents have the right to not be discriminated against due to the exercise of their privacy rights under the CCPA.
California residents have the right to be free from discriminatory treatment by Exact Sciences for the exercise of their privacy rights. However, the exercise of certain privacy rights by California residents may make it so that we are no longer able to provide those residents with certain services or communications. For example, if, at the request of a California resident, Exact Sciences deletes all of the California resident's personal information that it maintains, Exact Sciences will no longer be able to process that resident's application for employment or send communications to them.
Right to Opt-Out: California residents have the right to opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information.
California residents can request that a business stop "selling" or "sharing" their personal information. As stated above, we do not "sell" or "share" your personal information. Therefore, we do not offer a way to opt-out of "sale" or "share" of personal information and neither do we look for or process any online browser preference or opt-out signals that purport to opt-out of the "selling" or "sharing" of personal information.
Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: California residents have the right to direct a business to limit its use and disclosure of their "sensitive" personal information.
California residents can request that a business limit its use or disclosure of their "sensitive" personal information to that use or disclosure which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer, or to those uses or disclosures otherwise authorized by California law.
Right to Make Requests Through an Authorized Agent: California residents can designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on their behalf.
California residents can designate an authorized agent to make requests under the CCPA on their behalf relating to the residents' personal information. Only you as a California resident, or a person you have designated in writing as your authorized agent, may make a consumer request related to your personal information.
If you wish to have an authorized agent make a verifiable consumer request on your behalf, they will need to provide us with sufficient written proof that you have designated them as your authorized agent, such as a power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465. We will still require you to provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we have collected personal information.
We can deny any request made by a purported authorized agent who does not submit proof that they has been authorized by the California resident to act on the California resident's behalf. For more information on submitting a request on behalf of a California resident as an authorized agent, you can contact us using the information provided under Contact Us.
Notice of Financial Incentives: California residents are entitled to certain information about a business's financial incentive programs.
However, Exact Sciences does not offer any programs with a financial incentive, as defined by the CCPA, to consumers, associated with your job applicant personal information.
This Notice may be updated periodically to reflect any necessary changes in our privacy practices. You will be able to see when we last updated this Notice because we will include a revision date at the top. The latest version of this Notice is available on Exact Sciences' recruiting platform.
