Privacy policy

1. Information we collect

Information you provide

Our website forms may collect your name, email address, phone number, city and state, employer or company, professional profile, resume or portfolio URL, work experience, availability, target or open role, requested service, work setting, compensation information supplied by an employer, area of focus, and the message you choose to provide.

Information collected automatically

Our hosting and security providers may process basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, request timestamps, and pages requested to deliver and protect the website. We do not use this site to collect precise location data or build advertising profiles.

Sensitive information

Do not submit Social Security numbers, government identification, bank or payment details, tax records, medical information, passwords, or other highly sensitive information through this website. We will request additional information only through an appropriate process when it is lawfully needed.

2. How we use information

• Respond to employers, candidates, and other visitors.
• Evaluate whether we can support a hiring need or a candidate's career interests.
• Consider candidates for relevant opportunities and communicate about those opportunities.
• Review, verify, and respond to employer job-posting requests before publication.
• Provide, maintain, secure, and improve our website and services.
• Prevent fraud, abuse, or misuse and comply with legal obligations.
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information with your consent, to take steps at your request, for our legitimate business interests, or to comply with law. You may withdraw consent for future processing where consent is the basis, although prior processing remains lawful.

3. When we share information

We may share information with employees and contractors who need it to perform staffing or advisory work; prospective employers when a candidate has authorized an introduction; candidates when needed to describe an opportunity; and service providers that host, secure, maintain, or support our systems.

Website inquiries are transmitted through Amazon Web Services, including API, security, logging, and email-delivery services, to a designated Elite One business mailbox. Email and hosting providers may process the submission as needed to deliver, secure, and operate those services.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, in connection with a business transaction, or with your direction or consent. We do not sell personal information for money, and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

4. Candidate information and automated decisions

Submitting information does not create an employment relationship, confirm that a specific vacancy is available, guarantee an interview, or guarantee placement. Talent-network postings collect candidate interest for current and future client needs. This public website does not make automated employment decisions. If we later use a tool that materially assists an employment decision, we will use it in accordance with applicable law and any required notice or consent.

5. Retention and security

The website does not maintain a separate applicant, posting, or inquiry database. A completed submission is delivered to our designated business mailbox, where we retain it only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including ongoing recruiting relationships, business records, dispute resolution, and legal obligations. Our service providers may retain limited delivery, security, and technical logs under their own operational retention practices.

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information we handle. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a portable copy of personal information; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent; or appeal a denied request. You may also have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising a privacy right.

To make a request, use our contact form, choose the option that best fits, and write “Privacy request” in the role field. We may need to verify your identity and authority before completing a request. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law.

Because we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, there is no sale or targeted-advertising opt-out needed for the current site.

7. Cookies, children, and external sites

This site uses only technology needed to provide, secure, and operate the website. Read our cookie policy for more detail. Our services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website.

Links to third-party websites are governed by those parties' own privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information.

8. International use and policy changes

If you access the site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Those countries may have different data protection laws.

We may update this policy as our practices or legal obligations change. The “Last updated” date shows when this version became effective. Material changes will be communicated as required by law.
