At Canva, we’re on a mission to create the world’s best team. We respect your privacy and security, and want to always ensure we’re living by our values of Making Complex Things Simple as well as Being a Good Human, so this notice explains how we collect, use, store and transform your data, as well as your privacy rights throughout our recruitment process.
In this notice, when we talk about “Data,” we mean information about you (or that could identify you) that we may collect during recruitment or talent acquisition activities. This may include (but is not limited to) your contact details, work history, compensation details, evaluative materials, working rights, information you provide in forms or we received from third parties (such as criminal background checks).
We’ll process your Data for Canva’s talent acquisition purposes (including assessing your skills, capabilities and experience in consideration of your suitability for employment with Canva), (if successful) to establish the relationship between you and Canva, and to update you about Canva careers.

Other Data comes from third parties e.g., recruitment agencies or public sources such as LinkedIn. Your Data will be seen by hiring managers, the Talent Acquisition team and relevant Canva team members. Some of this Data (e.g., name, email and phone number) is essential. If we cannot collect this information, we will be unable to include you in our talent community. Other Data, such as your work history, compensation details or working rights, is required to evaluate your suitability for employment with Canva. If we cannot collect. this Data, we may be unable to process your application. If you join Canva, your Data will be kept in your personnel file, if you don’t, your application will be destroyed or de-identified when we no longer need it, or sooner upon your request, except where we are required by law to keep it. We will keep some details so we can stay in touch regarding future opportunities, unless you ask us not to.
We're a global company, and your Data may, in some cases, go overseas to our other offices or service providers in places with different laws and protections. A list of these places is set out at the end of this notice. We’ll use appropriate technical and organisational measures and safeguards to protect your Data during transfers and at all other times it is in our care.
