8. OUR USE OF AI EXPLAINED
At Teva, we utilize skills matching AI technology, provided by our supplier Eightfold AI, Inc. (“Eightfold”), to process candidate and potential candidate information in the following limited ways:
- When you decide to upload your resume/CV to receive role recommendation notifications. These notifications are generated automatically and labelled when a role may be a good match for you. You review the notification and decide whether or not to apply for the roles for which you receive a notification
- When you apply for a role with Teva via the Site irrespective of whether you create an account/profile. Your application information will be match-scored against the skills we determined are required for the role. Our recruiters may review certain applications that have been match scored to verify and investigate as part of their review, to determine whether you will progress to the next stage of the application process; and/or
- When you choose to join and remain in our talent pool to receive role recommendation notifications. Where you have agreed to be part of our talent pool, your resume/CV information will be automatically matched against the skills and qualifications we determined are needed or beneficial for roles for which we are recruiting, so our recruitment team can choose to reach out to you by email to recommend you apply for the role. You decide whether to action their recommendation or not.
The benefit of using AI technology for the above uses is that it may help you and us find a role at Teva for which you may be qualified. You can decide whether to apply for the role or not and we can evaluate candidates for potential roles in a more granular and efficient way, assisting our recruiters with additional AI- driven insights into skills and capabilities. It is part of our candidate recruitment process to align candidates with potentially suitable opportunities more effectively. Our recruiters and Hiring Managers remain the principal decision makers in the recruitment process, for example, reviewing certain applications, or where you are in our talent pool, reaching out to you by email to recommend you apply for a role. This means that a human is managing the recruitment process, reviewing information and making the final decision.
For more detailed information about the logic behind the match-scoring AI technology (which we use only for the purposes stated above), please see the Eightfold website https://eightfold.ai/nyc-eightfold-matching-model/.
The processing described above may under certain circumstances qualify as automated decision-making or use of artificial intelligence technology under country, state or local law on or after the effective date of those laws depending on your location of residence or the Teva location you seek to work in. Where the processing is covered under a law that applies to you, you may have certain rights, including to-opt out of the automated processing, to request alternative processing, to correct inaccurate personal data, to submit an appeal of an adverse decision and/or to access or request information.
You may submit requests concerning our processing of your personal data and any rights you may have by contacting us via a webform, by email, telephone or mail to the information provided in “How to Contact Us” section above. Your rights will be determined under applicable law according to the country where you live or seek to work, and you will not be discriminated or retaliated against based on your exercise of any rights.

This section supplements the “Personal Data We Collect” and “Sharing Your Personal Data” sections above and provides certain disclosures to California residents whose personal information Teva processes pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). Please note that these disclosures do not apply to information that is not subject to the CCPA.
Under the CCPA, California residents may have the right to request that a business that collects consumers’ personal information give consumers additional transparency and access to the specific pieces of personal information that the business has collected about the consumer. California residents also have the right to submit a request for deletion of information under certain circumstances. Please note that these rights are not absolute.

14. FOR INDIVIDUALS IN EUROPE and BRAZIL – Legal Grounds of Processing Explained
Data protection laws in Europe and Brazil require Teva to provide details on processing purposes and the legal basis on which each purpose is based. When you share your personal data with us, we rely on the following legal bases:
Legitimate interest – there are instances where we have a legitimate interest to use your data including talent pool management and candidate assessment. Our legitimate interest will vary depending on what we are using your data for, and we explain in the “Why we Collect and Use your Personal Data” section above what the interest is and how it relates to the processing operations that we are carrying out. Where we process personal data on the basis of a legitimate interest, then – as required by applicable data protection law – we have carried out a balancing test to document our interests, to consider what the impact of the processing will be on individuals and to determine whether individuals’ interests outweigh our interests in the processing taking place. To obtain more information about this balancing test please contact us by using the “How to Contact Us” section above.
Legal obligation – Teva is required to comply with labour and employment legal and regulatory requirements and other requirements under laws in many countries where Teva operates. We have to use your data to meet these obligations.
Consent – in some circumstances we may only be able to collect and use your personal data with your consent, including where you agree to have cookies placed on your device and if we need to process sensitive or special categories of personal data. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time. For cookie placement you can use the link to the cookie preference centre provided on the Site.
