Electronic Notice & Consent Policy
Electronic Notice and Consent Agreement – US Applicants Only
Before Hilton Domestic Operating Company Inc and its subsidiaries or affiliates (“Hilton,” “us,” or “we”) can accept your electronic signature for personnel documents and agreements related to your prospective employment, employment, or cessation of employment, you should be aware of the below information and must affirmatively agree to the same. Please read this Electronic Notice and Consent Agreement (“Agreement”) carefully as this process affects substantial personal rights and indicate your acceptance of our collection, retention, use, transfer and disclosure of personal information as described in this Agreement by typing your name and clicking “save and continue” at the end of your application. If you proceed, you are agreeing to complete this process electronically. If you are not in agreement or acceptance of this electronic notice and consent, do not type your name and click save and continue at the end of your application. Instead, follow the paper application process outlined below.
Electronic Signature and Adoption
By accepting this Agreement, you consent and agree that your use of a key pad, mouse or other device to select an item, button, icon or similar act or action while using any electronic service we offer or in accessing or making any transactions regarding any documents and disclosures constitutes your signature as if actually signed by you in writing (“electronic signature”). In some cases, your electronic signature may be represented by your type written name or initials electronically placed on the documents and disclosures, or by selecting “I Accept” by means of the process described herein. Your electronic signature, whether expressed by process or symbolically or both, is hereby adopted by you and represents your intent to acknowledge receipt or sign, as applicable, the documents and disclosures and that your electronic signatures are thereby attached to, and logically associated with, the documents and disclosures. Further, you agree that no certification authority or other third-party verification is necessary to the validity of your electronic signature and that the lack of such certification or third-party verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of your signature or any resulting contract between you and Hilton. You acknowledge it is a violation of Hilton policy to execute a document with an electronic signature of someone other than yourself. To complete this process using the traditional paper and signature process: please contact us at Recruitment@Hilton.com if you wish to sign your documents and agreements in ink. Please note, if you elect to utilize the traditional paper and signature process, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in the recruitment process.
Electronic Delivery
By accepting the terms of this Agreement, you agree that Hilton may provide documents and all disclosures to you electronically by e-mail (or a link set forth in an e-mail), online posting at an online location designated by us, or Portable Document Format ("PDF") files such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. The documents and disclosures may be provided by us to you directly or by a third-party service provider.
Withdrawing Consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent and agreement to receive, execute, and acknowledge electronic documents and disclosures at any time. Because we will provide some documents and disclosures to you electronically almost instantaneously once you have given us your consent to do business with us electronically, you will not be able to withdraw your consent relating to the documents and disclosures we have already provided to you pursuant to that consent. However, you may withdraw your consent to receive subsequent documents and disclosures electronically, in which case we will deliver all subsequent documents and disclosures to you in paper form via mail. You may withdraw your consent by contacting us at Recrutiment@hilton.com. If you decide to withdraw your consent, the legal validity and enforceability of our prior electronic documents, disclosures and communications to you will not be affected.

If the software or hardware requirements change in the future, and you are unable to continue receiving documents and disclosures electronically, we may mail your paper copies of documents and disclosures once you notify us that you are no longer able to access the documents and disclosures electronically because of the changed requirements. If you choose to withdraw your consent upon notification of the changes, you will be able to do so without penalty.
