Google Careers
Google keeps your application data indefinitely after rejection
Even if you're not hired, your resume, qualifications, and interview responses remain stored in Google's systems, potentially used to contact you about future roles without fresh consent.
Your interview video and assessment responses stay on file long-term
Video interviews and skill assessments reveal personality traits and cognitive patterns beyond what's needed to make a hiring decision, and extended retention increases risk if Google's systems are breached.
Application data may be shared across Google subsidiary companies globally
Your personal information (resume, contact details, interview notes) could move between Google entities in different countries with varying data protection laws, reducing your control over where it goes.
