2. Careers with HME

HME's Careers Portal (accessible by following the 'careers' link on our applicable Websites) allows you to apply for positions with HME. Moreover, it offers you the opportunity, without application to a particular position, to submit the information that will allow HME to contact you if suitable openings arise in the future (provided you have given your consent to be contacted in such an event).
Registering for the Careers Portal requires you to submit specific personal data. You are under an obligation to provide only personal data which is accurate, complete and up to date at the time at which you submit it to the Careers Portal.
The open career opportunities published on our Websites do not constitute an offer or promise of employment and HME may eliminate, modify or change without notice any aspect(s) of the employment positions, compensation, and benefit plans described therein. Our Websites provide descriptions of possible positions within HME, and do not provide binding offers nor terms and conditions of employment. Any employment offer that may follow as a result of the identification of a potential opportunity by an applicant or submission of information to HME is in accordance with the specific terms of that offer.

If a new version is identified, the user will be prompted to download and install the new version of the relevant application.
The Clear-Com Agent-lC® and Station-IC™ applications store user profiles including network addresses, usernames and passwords needed for the applications to access the intercom system locally on the device that runs the applications. The Clear-Com Agent-IC® and Station-IC™ applications allow users to store such profiles and data on Gen-IC™ or other cloud service operated on behalf of Clear-Com.

Exercising Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights; Limit Processing of Sensitive Information Opt-out

If you are sixteen (16) years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the "right to opt-out"). We do not sell or share the personal information of individuals we actually know are less than sixteen (16) years of age. To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the following page: Do Not Sell My Personal Information and Limit Processing of Sensitive Information. You may exercise this right at any time.

You may also opt out by activating a user-enabled global privacy control, such as a browser plug-in or privacy setting, device setting, or other mechanism, that communicates or signals your choice to opt-out of the sale of personal information. When we receive such a signal we will stop setting third party, analytics, or advertising partner cookies on your browser. This will prevent the sale of information relating to that specific device through cookies to our advertising or analytics partners. This option does not stop all sales of your information because we cannot match your device’s identification or internet protocol address with your personally identifiable information like your name, phone number, email address or ZIP Code. If you delete cookies on your browser, any prior do not sell or do not share signal is also deleted and you should make sure that your user-enabled setting is always activated.

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales.

We do not share personal information for behavioral or cross-context marketing purposes and do not process sensitive personal information for purposes other than those for which it was originally collected.

Exercising your rights for Information Collection or Disclosure Practices, Data Portability, Correction or Deletion

You can exercise any of these rights by contacting us using the contact details set out above or you may submit a request to us by visiting the following page Website Request Page. You may also call us on the following toll free telephone number: 800-978-3514. You may make a request for Information Collection or Disclosure Practices or Data Portability up to twice within a twelve (12) month period; the disclosure we provide will cover the twelve (12) months prior to your request or, at your option, since January 1, 2022. You may make deletion or correction requests at any time.

We will ask you for information that allows us to reasonably verify your identity (that you are the person about whom we collected personal information) and we will use that information only for that purpose. We may request that you submit a signed statement under penalty of perjury that you are the individual you claim to be. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity and confirm that the personal information relates to you.

Response timing and format

We will acknowledge receipt of your request for information collection or disclosure practices, data portability, correction or deletion within ten (10) business days and will endeavor to respond within forty-five (45) days of receipt of your request, but if we require more time (up to an additional forty-five (45) days) we will notify you of the reason and extension period in writing.

For requests that we not sell or share your information or limit processing of Sensitive Personal Information we will comply with your request promptly, and at least within fifteen (15) business days.

Where you request a copy of your personal information, we will endeavor to provide the information in a format that is readily useable, including by mailing you a paper copy or providing an electronic copy.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless 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. We will not discriminate against you as a result of your exercise of any of these rights.
