What this addendum covers

Pending counsel — do not rely

Counsel to scope this addendum to voluntary EEOC-style disclosures the user may provide during apply-flow autofill (race/ethnicity, gender, veteran status, disability) and to clarify it does NOT cover any field outside that voluntary set.

Voluntary nature of EEO disclosures

Pending counsel — do not rely

Counsel to draft the explicit consent + voluntary-disclosure language matching 41 CFR §60-300.44 / §60-741.42 voluntary-self-identification standards.

Segregation from ranking + scoring

Pending counsel — do not rely

HireRoom's product commitment is that EEO disclosures are NEVER inputs to job-fit scoring, AI tailoring, or Discovery ranking. Counsel to draft a binding commitment + describe HireRoom's technical segregation (separate table, no joins into AI pipelines).

Retention of EEO data

Pending counsel — do not rely

Counsel to set retention: while account active + 30-day grace; or shorter if user requests deletion via /consent or DSR. Tie to OFCCP recordkeeping if HireRoom is processing on behalf of a federal contractor (currently no — pending v1.5).

Transmission to employers

Pending counsel — do not rely

Counsel to draft the transmission rule: EEO disclosures pass to employer ATS only when the user explicitly fills the employer's EEO form during autofill, and HireRoom transmits the values the user enters — HireRoom does NOT pre-populate from a stored profile without per-application consent.

User control + deletion

Pending counsel — do not rely

Counsel to draft: user can wipe stored EEO disclosures from /consent at any time; deletion is propagated to all future autofill (does NOT recall already-submitted employer applications).
