FAILURE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION WHERE REQUIRED
Where we are requesting information from you in order to employ or engage you, or in order to place or job-match you, if you do not provide the information that we have identified as required we may be unable to properly assist with your request for employment, placement, or job-matching to be performed by IDR.
RETAINING YOUR INFORMATION
We will retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to provide you with the services requested, or for other necessary purposes such as compliance with a law, regulation, or other legal authority, or as is otherwise permitted to be maintained for other legal purposes, such as audit, security, fraud prevention, or preserving and defending IDR’s legal rights.
Due to our various obligations for retaining records, retention periods may vary. For example, we will retain a copy of your contact details if you object or opt-out of receiving direct marketing communications from us. We will add your details to our suppression list to attempt to comply with your request not to receive any future marketing communications from us. Also, we will not delete personal information if relevant to an investigation or a dispute. It will continue to be stored until those issues are fully resolved. We use the following criteria to determine retention periods:
- how long the data is needed to provide staffing and managed services and operate our business;
- whether there are contractual or legal obligations that exist that require us to retain the data for period of time;
- whether any law, statute, or regulation allows for a specific retention period;
- whether an individual has agreed to a longer retention period;
- whether the data is considered to be sensitive data, and
- what the expectation for retention was at the time the data was provided to us.
In all cases, we will continue to protect your personal information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
INFORMATION WE SHARE AND DATA SUBJECT’S RIGHTS
IDR holds its employees, agents, and suppliers accountable for maintaining the trust you place in us with your personal information. We share only the personal data necessary to perform our staffing, placement, employment, outsourcing, and related professional services with other IDR entities, customers, suppliers, and service providers who assist us in these processes. All third parties engaged to handle your information are bound by contractual obligations that limit their use of your data to purposes directed by IDR and require appropriate administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized use or disclosure.
Personal information may be shared with:
- Our customers or suppliers for potential placement, employment, or related professional services opportunities;
- The company to which you have been assigned for integration with their employment processes;
- Managed service providers administering contingent workforce programs for our customers;
- Service providers or technology systems performing outsourced administrative services, such as applicant tracking systems, payroll processors, and benefit administrators;
- Information technology vendors for data storage, hosting, business continuity, and disaster recovery;
- Tax authorities, credit reference agencies, anti-fraud databases, and screening agencies, with your consent or as required to provide services.
IDR operates exclusively in the United States and only hires individuals located within the U.S. While IDR itself does not store personal data outside the U.S., some third-party service providers (including applicant tracking and onboarding systems) may process or store personal information internationally. These providers are required to maintain appropriate safeguards to protect your data consistent with applicable laws.
Your personal data may also be transferred to third parties in certain circumstances, including:
- During discussions or transactions involving the sale or transfer of part or all of our business;
- In the event of reorganization or sale of the company;
- When required by law, regulation, or a public authority; or
- In connection with legal proceedings or the defense of legal claims.
We comply with all applicable U.S. data protection laws relevant to our operations. The amount of personal information you are asked to provide aligns with IDR’s legitimate interests in delivering our services. In most cases, processing of contact, payroll, and benefits information is a contractual or statutory requirement, and failure to provide such information may affect your eligibility for employment or services.
You have certain rights regarding your personal information, including access, correction, deletion, or objection to processing, where applicable. The availability of these rights and instructions for exercising them are outlined in detail below.
CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
For individuals located in the State of California, IDR complies with the data protection laws in your state, and if applicable, you have the following rights:
- To know what personal information is being collected about you.
- To know whether your personal information is sold or disclosed and to whom.
- To say no to the sale of personal information.
- To access your personal information.
- To request the deletion of any personal information.
- To equal service and price, even if you exercise your privacy rights.
OTHER PRIVACY RIGHTS
Under the laws of some jurisdictions you may have the right to request additional information about the personal information we collect, request access to the personal information we process, correct an error or omission, delete personal information, or object or limit further processing. IDR adheres to applicable data protection laws and will respect individual rights requests under those laws. Because processing your information is necessary to the performance of recruitment, placement, and employment, outsourcing and related professional services that IDR provides to you, a request to exercise certain rights may result in IDR being unable to continue providing its services such as recruitment, placement, employment, outsourcing or related professional services. Subject to applicable law, IDR also may limit or deny requests or charge reasonable fees.
CHATBOT TECHNOLOGY
We use chatbots to help provide customer service and support on our website. A chatbot is a software application that mimics human conversations in text or voice interactions on our website. If you use our chatbot service, we will collect any personal information you provide to use. We will also create and store a transcript of your chat interaction with us which will be shared with and stored by our third-party service provider. We use these transcripts and the information you provide for quality control, customer service, fraud prevention and security.
DIRECT MARKETING AND USE OF A VIRTUAL RECRUITER
IDR and its affiliates and contracted partners may periodically use your contact information to send you updates via phone and e-mail to alert you on new opportunities or services relevant to your interactions with us, such as jobs you have applied for through IDR’s sites or jobs in our database that match your selected criteria. By applying with, registering with, signing up to receive communications from, or otherwise interacting with IDR, you acknowledge and consent to being contacted by a virtual recruiter as part of our communication process. A virtual recruiter is a software application that mimics human conversations in text or voice interactions. You can opt-out of receiving such communications from us at any time by replying STOP to cancel. Each marketing communication will provide instructions on how to opt out of receiving similar messages from the registered service or resource. You can reply HELP for assistance. Frequency varies for text messages. Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. If you use our virtual recruiter, we will collect any personal information you provide to us. We will also create and store a transcript of your chat interaction with us which will be shared with and stored by our third-party service provider. We use these transcripts and the information you provide for quality control, customer service, fraud prevention and security. Information obtained will not be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
IDR takes care to secure your personal information. We regularly monitor industry standards for securing information and review our physical, technical, and organizational security practices in order to determine how best to prevent the loss, misuse, alteration, unauthorized access, destruction, or disclosure of your personal information.
