In connection with your applying for employment or submitting your personal profile, BNSF may collect your name, address, SSN or SIN, contact details, resume, your current and/or past salary, and other information about your work or educational experience. BNSF does not alter or monitor the accuracy or sufficiency of any personal information submitted. The information you submit must be complete and accurate; providing false information will lead to rejection of your application for employment, withdrawal of any pending offer of employment or, if you are hired, disciplinary action up to and including termination of your employment. This information will be stored and processed in the United States.
BNSF is committed to keeping the personal information you provide secure and will take reasonable precautions to protect it from loss, misuse or alteration. Our vendors, contractors, or partners who have access to your information are required to keep it confidential and are not permitted to use it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for BNSF Railway Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. BNSF protects your information using internal security processes including encryption on our website during transmission. If you submit any data or information, you will be giving your permission for us to use your information, including all personal information, as set out below.

How BNSF Uses Your Information 

We use the information we collect only to recruit employees and consider transfers of current employees for positions at BNSF Railway Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. In connection with these purposes, we may use your personal information to contact you anytime during your candidacy for employment, to send you announcements, or to request other information. We do not trade or sell your personal information. We will share your information only with those vendors hired to provide employment verification services or as legally required.
We do not provide the information we collect to other third parties unless we are required to do so by law, court order, subpoena, governmental agency order or information request, or unless we have a legitimate business purpose for doing so and the third party agrees to similar restrictions on disclosure and use of the information. If we are compelled to disclose your personal information to a law enforcement agency, we will promptly do so, and will notify you and provide you a copy of the demand if legally permitted. If we employ you, we will retain this information and we may use it and disclose it to others for personnel, administrative or other purposes related to your employment with BNSF Railway Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates.
We may collect and retain information on race, gender, ethnicity or other protected or special status. For example, in the United States applicable laws and regulations require us to request and save race, gender, and ethnicity information for future government reporting; however, such information is not reviewed in connection with consideration for employment. We also may collect such information for personnel and/or administrative uses. Where there are laws or regulations covering this type of information, we will collect, retain and use the information and data in full compliance with applicable laws.
