  As part of fulfilling and managing your employment relationship with us, we may collect, directly from you, information about you and your dependents’/beneficiaries’ sex, age/date of birth, military and marital status, race/ethnicity, gender, and disability status. If you apply for a job with us and/or are hired, we may ask you to provide us information about your citizenship status. We may also conduct background checks that reveal criminal history and perform a drug screening.


• Health Information
  As part of administering your company-provided benefits, and to assist in providing you on-site health benefits, we may obtain knowledge of your and your dependents’/spouse’s diagnoses, treatments, and other health information. In the course of efforts to protect you, Nissan workers, contract workers, and visitors, from COVID-19, we may collect and use limited health information, such as proof of COVID-19 vaccination and COVID-19 infection status.
  
  Depending on your role in Nissan, we may require a Department of Transportation certification that includes health information. Some roles may require a physical exam to confirm ability to perform certain duties.


• Sexual Orientation and Gender Identification
  When participating in a health plan and including others as plan participants, Nissan may receive information about the sex of your spouse, which can indirectly lead to knowledge of sexual orientation. You may also voluntarily offer information of gender identification as part of the job application process. Additionally, as part of our diversity and inclusion programs and activities, you may voluntarily offer information of sexual orientation and/or gender identification.


• Finances
  Nissan may conduct background checks that include financial information, such as information about your credit and loans, bankruptcies and delinquent accounts. You and/or your family may also provide certain financial information related to benefits and/or programs. Nissan also requires certain banking information related to wages and other payments to you.


• Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity Information
  In order to protect our assets and consistent with company policy, we may use technology and manual reviews to identify and take action on employee online behavior related to email, document download, and/or internet/social media behavior. According to our policies and/or in case of an investigation, we may also research your work behavior, internet usage on our network, emails associated with your Nissan email account, or other electronic data related to our investigation. Some customer service representatives may record, through an online interface, their unavailability for calls and reasons for unavailability, which supervisors and managers review. Similarly, some work-related applications, such as instant messaging applications, may display a user’s online or offline status, which colleagues, supervisors and managers may review.


• Geolocation Data
  With your consent, if you use a Nissan-sponsored mobile application, the application may track your location. In limited cases, if you drive or demo a test vehicle with geolocation capabilities, your location may be tracked while you use that vehicle.

• Professional or Employment-Related Information
  When you apply for a job with us, we collect your resume or similar information about your background and skills from you. If you are selected, we may conduct verification checks, such as reviewing motor vehicle records, employment history, and educational history. If you are hired, we use a portion of the information you shared in the application process to set up your employment file and give you the ability to apply for other internal positions.
  
  As you continue to work for us, we collect from you, directly or indirectly through manager feedback and internal systems, information about your Nissan job role(s), pay, job progression, job-related credentials, performance, and reporting structure.
