We will store your information for five years from the date of notification. If at any time you no longer want Bloomberg to consider your application, please let us know by reaching out to AMER_recruit@bloomberg.net (Americas), EMEA_recruit@bloomberg.net (Europe, the Middle East and Africa), or APAC_recruit@bloomberg.net (Asia-Pacific), based on the region you are submitting an application for, in which case your information will be stored securely consistent with our applicable retention policy and applicable law.
