When you register and submit a job application through this website, we currently only collect the following personal information:

  • name, age, gender;
  • email address, country/region, address, phone number; and
  • work experience, education, skills, and resume

The list of personal information that may be collected as set forth in the section titled "What types of personal information do we collect?" in the Applicant Privacy Statement does not apply to the Applicants in the PRC. For your information, the broader categories of personal information listed in the section titled "What types of personal information do we collect?" in the Applicant Privacy Statement are intended to cover the full range of recruitment-related collection and processing activities that NXP may conduct in different jurisdictions and scenarios.

Please specifically note that this website does not routinely collect sensitive personal information as defined under the PIPL (such as numbers or copies of ID/passport, bank account details, health records, biometric identifiers or information about minors under 14 years old). Please avoid including any sensitive personal information in the free-text fields or uploaded resumes.

5. Cross-Border Transfer of Personal Information

Please note that NXP is a global organization. When you register and submit a job application through this website, your personal information will be transferred from the PRC to overseas immediately upon submission because the servers/storage of this website are located outside of the PRC.

Further, if the position you apply for requires involvement from line managers or other persons located outside of the PRC for interviews, assessments or approvals, we may securely transmit your resume and other necessary personal information to the relevant NXP affiliate(s) located outside of the PRC for interviews, assessments, approvals and other recruitment procedures.

Such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to withdrawal, but may adversely affect our subsequent abilities to proceed with recruitment.
