Molson Coors uses job applicant personal data in a fair, transparent and lawful manner; this means that Molson Coors will collect and process personal data in accordance with applicable privacy laws. Protecting the privacy and personal data of applicants is of the utmost importance to Molson Coors and forms an integral part of how we create, organize and implement our recruiting activities.

  • Main identifiers: name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier (e.g., employee identification number – if applying as an internal candidate), age, whether you are of legal drinking age, online identifier, Internet Protocol (IP) address, email address, account name, or other similar identifiers.

  • Education Information: Education history, degrees obtained, including the highest level of education you’ve achieved.

  • Sensitive Personal Data: Personal data that you may share that is considered to be sensitive within your local jurisdiction. Please note that we do not use or disclose sensitive personal data for any purpose other than those permitted under applicable law.

The personal data that we collect, and process will be adequate, relevant and not excessive relative to the specified purposes for which the job applicant data is collected and processed.

Applicant data will be as accurate as possible and will be kept up to date as necessary in accordance with applicable laws.

The personal data, including the sensitive personal data, described above may be collected directly from you when you apply for employment or indirectly from other sources such as third parties for reference checks (e.g., past employers), recruitment agencies, publicly available professional profiles and other external sources such as social media and career platforms (e.g., LinkedIn).

  1. Purposes of Processing

We may process the personal data, including the sensitive personal data, described above only for business purposes related to your application. Those purposes may include:

  • To evaluate your qualifications and suitability for employment

  • For administrative purposes (e.g., scheduling interviews), to maintain our applicant recruitment database, to provide information about open positions

  • To administer pre-employment tests and training activity, including but not limited to task-based assessments

  • To facilitate diversity and monitoring within our recruitment processes designed to ensure a fair process with an overall aim to reduce bias

  • To enable us to make reasonable adjustments, where required by local laws, within our recruitment process

  • To communicate with you throughout the recruitment process

  • To provide you with any reasonable accommodations necessary during the recruitment process (e.g., conducting a virtual interview rather than an in-person interview for health reasons)

To prepare and maintain legally required records related to employment eligibility (such as I-9 forms in the U.S.)

  • To provide the Molson Coors Careers web page to you

  • To recommend job positions that may be right for you from Molson Coors, consistent with your contact preferences

  • To personalize your experience with us based on your preferences and interactions with us. Please also see our general Privacy Policy located at: https://www.molsoncoors.com/privacy-policy

  • To analyze usage of the Molson Coors Careers web page and trends to improve how we serve you and future applicants

  • For legitimate business purposes such as record-keeping and reporting

  • To comply with company policies and regulatory and legal requirements

  • To meet tax obligations

  • To detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, and prosecute those responsible for that activity

  • As set forth in any other statements or notices provided to you at collection in relation to your employment application.

Our lawful bases for processing such personal data are as follows:

  • Legitimate Interest. We use information for our legitimate interests. For instance, we use your personal data to contact you and respond to your requests and inquiries, for administrative purposes (e.g., to schedule interviews), to assess your suitability for the role that you applied for and for other roles that are available at Molson Coors, to identify, prevent and detect fraud or to pursue or defend ourselves against legal claims.

  • Consent. We may use your information with your consent. In these instances, we will ask you to grant us consent to use your information. In countries where we are legally permitted to do so, we rely on explicit consent to process Sensitive Personal Data to carry out diversity monitoring. You are free to grant or deny permission. If you deny permission, we will not be able to process your information to conduct the activity to which the consent relates. For example, we will not be able to send you information about job openings that you may be interested in applying for. You are also free to withdraw your consent at any time. A withdrawal of consent will not affect processing that has been completed during the time in which the consent was valid. If you have granted us consent to use your information, we will use it only for the purposes specified when we request your consent.

  • Fulfillment of Legal Obligations. We may use your information to comply with our legal obligations. To comply with regulations, laws or any authority requests, we may disclose your information to authorities or other officials or otherwise process your information pursuant to legal obligations we are subject to (e.g., respond to your requests to exercise your rights under applicable laws). This includes processing health-related information to comply with our employment law obligations to make reasonable adjustments or accommodations.

Molson Coors does not share your personal data with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes.

  1. Our Use of AI in the Recruitment Process

We use AI tools to help make our recruitment processes more efficient. However, we do not make any recruitment decisions solely on the basis of AI assessments and we engage in meaningful human review at each stage of the application process. For certain roles we ask candidates to complete task-based assessments using a tool provided by Arctic Shores or AssessFirst. Arctic Shores and AssessFirst analyse how you complete certain tasks and generate scores that help us to evaluate your capabilities for specific roles. These scores are not used to substantially assist or replace discretionary decision making for making employment decisions. Instead, the scores are used by our Talent Acquisition team alongside all other information that we collect during the recruitment process to assess your application.

More information about how the Arctic Shores and AssessFirst tools uses your personal data can be found in their Privacy Policy which is available here: Arctic Shores Privacy Policy or AssessFirst Privacy Policy. 

  1. Disclosure of Personal Data

We may disclose your personal data:

  • With Our Parent Company, Subsidiaries, Affiliates or Other Related Companies. We may share your personal data with our parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates or other related companies to support the purposes in this privacy notice.

  • With Third Party Service Providers Performing Services on Our Behalf. We share information, including personal data, with our service providers to perform the functions for which we engage them. These service providers may include, but are not limited to, background check agencies, human resource information system providers, data storage or hosting providers and similar service providers who support our recruitment process. In particular, we share your personal data with the following service providers:

    • Phenom and SuccessFactors are our recruitment platform providers;

    • Experian for right to work checks in the UK;

    • AssessFirst for task-based assessments in EMEA (as applicable);

    • Microsoft systems for emails and document storage;

    • Arctic Shores for task-based assessments in the UK; and,

    • Other service providers or vendors as applicable.

  • For Legal Purposes. We also may share information that we collect as needed to enforce our rights, protect our property or protect the rights, property or safety of others, or as needed to support external auditing, compliance and corporate governance functions. We will disclose personal data as we deem necessary to respond to a subpoena, regulation, binding order of a data protection agency, legal process, governmental request or other legal or regulatory process. We may also share personal data as required to pursue available remedies or limit damages we may sustain.

  • Corporate Changes. We may transfer information, including your personal data, in connection with a merger, sale, acquisition, reorganization, liquidation, or other change of ownership or control by or of us or any affiliated company (in each case whether in whole or in part).

  1. Data Security and Retention

We have implemented appropriate physical, technical, and organizational security measures designed to secure your personal data against accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.

Molson Coors will only retain applicant data in relation to a particular vacancy as long as legally allowed after the recruitment and selection process. If there is a legal obligation to retain such applicant data longer, Molson Coors will do so (e.g. equal opportunity requirements in local employment laws). Molson Coors may also retain applicant data in relation to a particular vacancy if you have given your consent to keep the applicant data, e.g. keeping an applicant’s resume on file if a suitable vacancy arises.

We will retain the personal data, including sensitive personal data, described above as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable laws or regulations.

  1. International Data Transfers

Due to the global nature of our operations, Molson Coors needs to be able to move personal data across our global organization. Accordingly, your personal data may be transferred to, or accessed, in any jurisdiction where Molson Coors has a presence, or to countries where third party service providers selected by Molson Coors operate. If we transfer your personal data outside of your home jurisdiction, we will take appropriate measures to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We may transfer your personal data to a third party in a country that is different from where you live or work. Where this is the case, please note that we or the third party may be required to disclose your personal data in order to comply with local laws or regulations.

We require third parties and professional advisors to use appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality and security of the personal data. Where such international data transfer takes place from a UK/EEA country to a recipient in a country that has a different data protection regime, we will use appropriate legal safeguards, including EU Standard Contractual Clauses and UK International Data Transfer Addendum, to transfer such data so that such international data transfer will not negatively affect the level of protection of your personal data.
