• Communicate with you about the status of your application and recruitment logistics;
• Conduct reference checks, background checks, and verification of credentials (where applicable);

If you are offered and accept employment with Hasbro, information collected during the recruitment process may become part of your employment record and subject to the terms of any then-applicable employee privacy policy.

4. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

Where European Union, United Kingdom, or other applicable data protection laws apply, we rely on one or more of the following legal grounds for processing your personal information:

• To take steps at your request prior to entering into an employment contract;
• To fulfill legal obligations;
• With your consent, where required under local law.

For certain sensitive categories of data (e.g., health information), we may process such information only with your explicit consent, where necessary for legal claims or as otherwise permitted by law.

5. WHO MAY HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION

5.1. Internal Recipients

Your personal information may be accessed by Hasbro’s recruiters, hiring managers, human resources personnel, and other internal stakeholders involved in the recruitment process, working on behalf of Hasbro or a Hasbro affiliate in the United States or outside of the United States.

5.2. Service Providers

We may share information with third-party vendors who provide recruitment, assessment, background check, and related services on our behalf. These service providers may be located outside the country in which you live or the country where the position you have applied for is located. These service providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for authorized purposes.

5.3. Legal and Regulatory Disclosures

We may disclose your information to government authorities, labor agencies, courts, or law enforcement as required by law or in response to valid legal process.

5.4. With Your Consent

We will also share your personal information with other third parties if we have your consent (for example if you have given us permission to contact your references), or to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or to protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Hasbro, its users, applicants, candidates, employees or the public or as otherwise required by law.

6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF INFORMATION

Hasbro is a global company, and your personal information may be stored or processed in countries outside the country where you reside, including the United States. These jurisdictions may have different data protection laws. When transferring personal data internationally, Hasbro implements appropriate safeguards to protect your information in accordance with applicable law.

Hasbro complies, where necessary, with certain legal frameworks relating to the transfer of data, such as:

6.1. Adequacy Decisions: The European Commission has determined that certain countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) adequately protect personal data, which means that data can be transferred from the European Union (EU) and Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland to those countries. The United Kingdom (UK) and Switzerland have adopted similar adequacy mechanisms. We rely on the following adequacy mechanisms: European Commission adequacy decisions; UK adequacy regulations; Swiss adequacy decisions .

6.2. Standard contractual clauses. The European Commission has approved the use of  standard contractual clauses  (SCCs) as a means of ensuring adequate protection when transferring data outside of the EEA. Such clauses have also been approved for transfers of data to countries outside the UK and Switzerland. By incorporating SCCs into a contract established between the parties transferring data, personal data is considered protected when transferred outside the EEA, Switzerland or the UK to countries which are not covered by an adequacy decision. We rely on SCCs for our data transfers where required and in instances where they are not covered by an adequacy decision.

7. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including recruitment, talent management, compliance with legal obligations, and the resolution of disputes. Retention periods vary by region to reflect applicable legal requirements, regulatory guidance, and industry standards.

Region	Retention Period
Asia	Up to 1 year
Canada	Up to 1 year
Europe	Up to 2 years
Latin America	Up to 1 year
Pacific	Up to 2 years
United States	Up to 4 years

If you do not want us to retain your information for future consideration, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the details below. We delete or anonymize personal data that is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. In all cases, Hasbro may retain certain information where required or permitted by law, including for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or comply with record-keeping obligations.

8. YOUR RIGHTS

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights under applicable data protection laws, including rights to:

• Access, correct, or update your information;
• Delete or restrict processing of your information;
• Object to certain processing activities;
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Requests to exercise such rights will be handled in accordance with applicable law. If you wish to exercise an available privacy right, please visit https://docs.hasbro.com/privacy_rights .  You may also contact Hasbro’s Data Protection Officer via dpo@hasbro.com . In some jurisdictions, you may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

9. SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

Hasbro implements reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal information collected in connection with the recruitment process.

However, no system can be entirely secure, and Hasbro cannot guarantee absolute protection of your information.

10. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post any changes here and update the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued interaction with Hasbro’s recruitment process after changes are posted constitutes your consent to the revised Policy.
