BroodStack has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses how we may process and protect your personally identifiable information or personal data ("Personal Information"):
For a description of the rights of consumers under various state privacy laws, and our handling of Personal Information of residents of those states, please see the section titled "Consumer Privacy Rights for Residents of California, Colorado, Virginia, Utah or Connecticut" below.
The Personal Information that we collect depends on the nature of the relationship we have with you, the data subject. Below are some of the ways we may collect and use Personal Information and our legal or business purposes for doing so.
We collect standard employment-related Personal Information regarding our workforce, for various business purposes such as processing payroll, providing human resources services, administering our business (including managing our employees and contractors, communicating with clients, and providing our services) and to fulfill our legal and reporting obligations. The types of Personal Information we collect about our employees and contractors may include: title; name; address; phone number; email address; professional affiliation; employment and education information; username and answer to a security question or password; government identification; banking and financial information; citizenship; health data; precise geolocation through devices used for work; military or veteran status; and on rare occasions the contents of mail, email or texts. We will only collect employee or contractor information related to: race or ethnicity; sexuality or sexual orientation; health; and military or veteran status for the purposes of complying with our legal obligations, and for some clients that request Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) statistics. Occasionally we may collect sensory data from our employees and contractors in order to conduct video interviews.
You have the option of submitting your resume to BroodStack, which may include Personal Information such as your employment, education, and contact information. When you send your resume to BroodStack, your resume is entered into the BroodStack resume database and will be assigned to a BroodStack recruiter who may contact you as relevant employment opportunities arise. A recruiter will always speak to you about an opportunity before submitting your resume and will not submit a resume to a client without your prior consent. BroodStack uses its best efforts to grant access to your resume only to such third-party clients for whom you have given your consent. However, BroodStack is not responsible or liable if some other third party evades security measures and gains access to the resume database, and, subsequently, your resume. BroodStack’s clients, to whom your resume has been sent with your consent, may have retained a copy of your resume in their own files or databases. We are not responsible for the retention, use, or privacy of resumes in such instances.
We collect Personal Information regarding our clients or client-representatives for various business purposes such as providing our products and services, managing client information, managing our employees and contractors, marketing and advertising, and complying with our legal obligations. The Personal Information we collect regarding our clients may include: title; name; address; phone number; email address; and professional affiliation.
In general, BroodStack gathers information about users of this site collectively, such as what areas users visit most frequently, the services users access the most, and the links to BroodStack’s partners that users most often visit. BroodStack only uses such data in the aggregate. This information helps us determine what is most useful and beneficial for our users, and how we can continually improve the services and features provided to the users of our site. We may share this collected information with our partners so that they too may understand how broodstack.com users use this site in order that they may create a better overall experience for you as well. Please see the section below titled “How We Use Cookies” for more information.
In some instances, such as when you register to use this site, or when you sign up to use certain services, enter into a contest or promotion, or complete a survey for internal research, BroodStack may ask for Personal Information such as: your name; address; e-mail address; telephone number; skill sets (which may reveal employment or education information); and demographic information (which may reveal your age group or sex). Such information may be stored and processed in one or more databases maintained directly or indirectly by BroodStack. In addition to identification, registration and authentication, BroodStack may, with your consent as indicated by your checking 'Yes' on the profile form, use such information to contact you regarding potential employment opportunities, changes to and new offerings on our site or to make you aware of additional products, services, specific events and promotions from BroodStack or its partners which may be of interest to you. You may opt-out of receiving any further Internet-based communication from BroodStack or its partners by following the Choice/Opt-Out procedure set forth below. From time to time, BroodStack may also ask you for other information via surveys, such as information regarding your areas of interest, your likes and dislikes regarding the site, your career goals, services that you would like offered on this site, and other such information that will help us improve the service and features made available to you on this site.
