2. PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT – SOURCES AND CATEGORIES

We will collect your personal data to process and consider your application for employment; to comply with legal obligations; to pursue legitimate interests of the Company, such as sharing your personal data with Dover Corporation for internal administrative purposes and use related to the employment opportunity; and when you otherwise voluntarily provide information to us.
