Bridgestone has created this Policy to demonstrate and inform you of its firm commitment to the privacy and protection of Personal Data. This Policy, together with the Terms of Use of the Site, sets forth the general rules and policies governing the use of the Site.

Bridget Chatbot Functionality. Bridgestone may make available an automated chatbot named Bridget to provide general information regarding job opportunities, recruitment processes and other employment-related information. Bridget is intended to operate as an informational tool and is not designed to receive job applications, resumes or sensitive personal information through the chat.

The Bridget chatbot functionality is provided with the support of Paradox (“Paradox”), a third-party service provider engaged to provide chatbot-related technology services. Paradox may process information generated through the chatbot solely for the purpose of providing, maintaining and supporting the chatbot functionality on behalf of Bridgestone and in accordance with Bridgestone’s instructions, subject to the applicable contractual terms.

Use of Bridget is voluntary. Users who do not wish to interact with the chatbot may continue to browse the Site and access job opportunity information through the other functionalities made available by Bridgestone.

Users should not include sensitive personal information or unnecessary personal information in their interactions with Bridget.  If a User voluntarily provides personal information through the chatbot, such information may be processed for the purposes described in this Policy and to respond to the User’s inquiry.

This Policy applies solely to information collected through the Site and/or interaction with Bridget, Bridgestone is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any non-Bridgestone affiliated sites to which the site links.

In case the User is a Costa Rican citizen, any modification to this policy will be notified directly.
