3. Sale or Sharing of Applicant Information

4. Disclosures to Service Providers/Contractors
We disclose personal information to trusted service providers that process data on our behalf (e.g., applicant tracking, background checks, assessments, IT/security). These providers are contractually restricted from using your data for any other purpose. We may also disclose information if required by law, in connection with corporate transactions, or to protect rights and safety.
5. Sensitive Personal Information (SPI) & Your Right to Limit
Where we collect SPI (such as SSN for background checks or voluntary demographic data), we use it only as necessary for recruiting, compliance, security, or onboarding. We do not use SPI in a way that triggers the “Right to Limit” under California law.

If you become employed, your information will be part of your employment record.

As a California applicant, you may have the right to:
- Know categories and specific pieces of personal information collected about you.
- Request access, correct, or delete personal information collected.
