Our Privacy Statement describes what information we collect, whether used only internally, how and when it is shared, and the rights and choices Partners have concerning their personal information.
In addition, all Partners are responsible for supporting human rights in the work environment, including understanding the IJJCorp’s Global Human Rights Statement concerning fundamental human rights. They are to uphold the provisions of these rights in the workplace. We also expect our Partners to raise awareness of any behaviors or business situations involving IJJCorp that may compromise the company’s values around the provision of fundamental human rights and report potential violations of the IJJCorp’s Global Human Rights Statement
