Thank you for your interest in HireArt, Inc. (“HireArt,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or“our”). HireArt is a modern platform for companies to source, hire, employ and manage contractors. Hiring managers can access a directory of pre-vetted, ready-to-hire candidates for contract jobs, schedule interviews and extend offers. Standing in as the employer of record, HireArt digitally onboards new hires and is responsible for payroll, time & attendance, benefits administration, and compliance. Using HireArt, candidates can apply not only to specific requisitions for contract jobs but also build profiles accessible to abroad universe of hiring managers who can engage them about contract jobs they have not applied to. HireArt, in short, helps candidates find the best jobs with ease, and hiring managers can cost-effectively hire the best candidates with short fill times and high fill-rates. HireArt values the privacy of those who use our services. The following policy explains our practices surrounding the collection, use, and sharing of the personal information we collect.
If you are a California resident, the Additional Information for Residents of California section below includes additional information that we provide pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended from time to time (“CCPA”). That section includes information regarding the categories of information to be collected, the purposes for which the categories of information are collected or used, whether the information is sold or shared and how to opt-out, and how long the information is retained. You can find those details by clicking on the above links.
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information that we collect through our website as it may be modified, relocated and/or redirected from time to time (the “Site”), and to resumes that we receive from a variety of sources including the candidates themselves, staffing agencies, payroll providers and resume databases, that are used to populate our talent directory. Personal information means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a natural person.

We may and may allow third parties to track your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. For example, we may use web beacons to help us determine what links or advertisers brought you to our Site. We may also track your activities on our Site and link the personal information you have provided us, for example, your name, with your activities on our Site and on other websites.
We do not have the capability to support the Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting. DNT is a preference you can set in your browser’s settings to let the websites you visit know that you do not want the websites collecting your personal information.
The Company may share your personal information in the following circumstances:
The security and confidentiality of your personal information is important to us. The Company has implemented reasonable technical and organizational measures for the purpose of protecting the personal information we receive against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access and against any other unlawful forms of processing. However, these measures are not absolute, and the Company cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. In addition, the transmission of data over the Internet by its nature entails the use of systems under the control of third parties. As a result the Company cannot ensure the security of such systems.
We will retain the personal information we collect for as long as required to satisfy the purpose for which it is collected and used (for example, for the time necessary for us to fulfill orders, provide you with customer service, answer queries, or resolve technical problems), unless a longer period is required or permitted by law, such as to fulfill our legal obligations or to establish, protect or defend legal claims. Our policies for data retention align with this statement.
You may choose not to provide the personal information we request through the Site. However, in some cases, if you decide not to provide information we request, you may not be able to use certain features of the Site, and we may not be able to provide services, products, or information.
You may opt out of receiving our commercial email messages at any time by using the opt-out mechanism provided in the message.
You may be able to restrict the automatic collection of some information by the Site through your device’s operating system or browser, or take other steps to block, manage, or delete cookies. Doing so, however, may prevent you from using the functionality of the Site.
Before processing a resume received from a third-party, the Company sends the candidate an email giving them an opportunity to opt-out of using our services. The Company will permanently destroy the resume of any candidate who chooses to opt-out of using our services. Candidates who choose not to opt-out of using our services are placed in the Company’s talent directory and asked to edit their personal profile.

It is also the Company’s policy to comply with all applicable state, federal and local laws respecting consideration of unemployment status in making hiring decisions.

We operate internationally and your information may be transferred out of the jurisdiction where you are located, including to the United States. The data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction and may not provide the same level of data protection compared to the laws in the jurisdiction in which you are located.
When we transfer personal information subject to the data protection laws of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland, or the United Kingdom (“UK”) outside of the EEA, Switzerland, and UK, we will rely on a framework that provides appropriate safeguards, which could include the standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules, or another framework deemed adequate by the European Commission.
If you are located in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK, you have rights to request access to, correction of, erasure of, or to receive your personal information or transfer your personal information to another controller. You also have rights to request to object to or restrict the processing of your personal information. If our processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent without impacting the lawfulness of processing based on your consent before its withdrawal. You may exercise these rights, if applicable, by contacting us as described in the Questions or Requests section of this Policy below. Individuals located in the EEA, Switzerland, or UK may also have the right to lodge a complaint with an EEA, Swiss, or UK supervisory authority, as applicable.
This section of the Privacy Policy applies only to consumers who reside in California (as used in this section, “consumers” or “you”) and to our processing of particular consumers’ or consumer households’ personal information (“California Personal Information”) that HireArt collects through any means, including the Site and other online and offline methods. California Personal Information does not include, and this section of the Policy does not apply to, information that is subject to exceptions from the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), such as deidentified information.
This section also does not address our processing of personal information of our own job applicants, employees, and contractors for human resources, employment, benefits administration, health and safety, and other similar business-related and legal compliance purposes.
Additionally, this section of the Privacy Policy applies only to the extent we direct the purposes and means of California Personal Information processing and otherwise qualify as a “business” under the CCPA. It does not apply to our activities as a “service provider” to our clients, as that term is defined under the CCPA, or to California Personal Information that we process in that capacity.

In the preceding 12 months, we may have disclosed the categories of California Personal Information listed below to the categories of third parties identified below for a business purpose:
We do not sell California Personal Information in exchange for monetary consideration. However, the CCPA defines “sale” very broadly in a manner that includes disclosing California Personal Information in exchange for any other valuable consideration, and also regulates the “sharing” of California Personal Information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, which means displaying advertising to you based on California Personal Information obtained or inferred from your activities over time across different websites, applications, and other online services we do not operate. Under the CCPA, we may “sell” or “share,” and we may in the preceding 12 months have “sold” or “shared,” the following categories of California Personal Information:
We may have sold or shared each of these categories of California Personal Information with third parties such as advertising networks that enable or participate in targeted and cross-context behavioral advertising, and analytics providers that provide online tracking technologies that we use to analyze use of the Site.
We do not have actual knowledge that we sell California Personal Information of consumers under 16 years of age or share the California Personal Information of consumers under the age of 16 for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes.

If you do not have an account with us or are not logged into your account, your opt-out preference signal will be linked to your browser identifier only and may not be linked to other California Personal Information, such as account information, about you that we process that is not associated with your browser identifier.
If we receive an opt-out preference signal from you, we may offer you the option to provide additional information to help facilitate your opt-out request. We may also notify you if an opt-out preference signal we receive from you conflicts with your privacy settings or participation in certain programs we offer, and request your consent to sales or sharing of California Personal Information or to affirm your intent to withdraw from any relevant programs.
