Privacy Agreement 

The Human Resources Division of the Executive Office of Administration and Finance ("HRD") manages the MassCareers online job application and onboarding tool.  Through this application, HRD collects a range of highly personal information voluntarily provided by users.  Unless otherwise required by law (including public records law), HRD will use this information solely for hiring, payroll, and other human resources purposes.  HRD also makes this information available to other agencies or entities that are part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, but will require any entity receiving this information to agree to the same restrictions on its use.  Upon hire, employee information that falls under the definition of public records may be published on one or more Commonwealth websites. Victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or rape and victims of an adjudicated crime may request that their information remain private. Similarly, eligible family members of victims may request that their information remain private.

In the event of misuse of the system, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts reserves the right to suspend or delete an applicant’s account or access to MassCareers.   Applicants who have accounts that are suspended or deleted will be notified and given the opportunity to submit future applications for positions through an alternative means.
