- Disclosure of our practices, including the categories of Personal Information we collect, the categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected, our purpose(s) for collecting the Personal Information, the categories of third parties to whom we have disclosed the Personal Information, whether Personal Information is "sold" to third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration or "shared" with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising, and the length of time we retain each category of Personal Information, or if that is not possible, the criteria we use to determine the retention period, among other information.

Under the CCPA, only you or an authorized agent may make a request related to your Personal Information. We must verify your identity to respond to certain requests. We may do so by requiring you to give a declaration as to your identity under penalty of perjury, and requesting that you provide information to verify your identity, such as providing your contact information, and using that information to communicate with us.
California's Shine the Light Law
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as "Shine The Light" law, permits California residents to annually request, free of charge, information about the disclosure of their Personal Information (if any) to third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. We do not share Personal Information with third parties for such purposes.
Our Use of AI in Hiring
We may use artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools to assist in reviewing and organizing applicant information. These tools are used to support our recruiting team and improve efficiency. They are not used to independently evaluate, score, or make decisions about candidates. All hiring decisions are made by human reviewers.
