Last Updated: April 15th, 2025
Carnival Corporation (“Carnival”,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a division of Carnival Corporation & plc. We recognize that your privacy is important. Your choice to share information with us is an important part of how we provide a world-class travel experience. We’ve developed this Privacy Notice to explain how we
collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal data about our recruits and job applicants. The Carnival Corporation entity to whom you submit your application is the controller of your personal data.
This Job Applicant Notice is not a contract and does not create any legal rights or obligations not otherwise provided by law. This Job Applicant Notice also is not intended to replace other notices or disclosures we may provide to you in connection with an application for a job or eventual role in our organization, which will supersede any conflicting disclosures contained in this Job Applicant Notice.
What is Personal Data?
When we use the term “personal data” in this Job Applicant Notice, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to an individual within the context of the individual acting as a recruit or job applicant of Carnival Corporation. It does not include aggregated or deidentified information that is maintained in a form that cannot reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to, a particular individual.
Where we maintain deidentified data, we will maintain and use the data in deidentified form and not attempt to reidentify the data except as required or permitted by law.

 Once retention of the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes outlined above, we will either delete or deidentify the personal data, or, if this is not possible (for example, because personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will not further process the personal data until deletion or deidentification is possible.
