Our Commitment to Privacy

This Recruiting Privacy Notice (the “Notice”) describes our collection, use, and handling of personal data in connection with our online and offline recruiting activities.

The Juniper Networks hiring entity (“Juniper Networks”), acting as a data controller, is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals, including protecting any personal data of job applicants.

If you would like Juniper Networks to consider any accommodation, please contact mayat@juniper.net and we may offer an accommodation, such as a phone interview instead of a video interview.
