We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes beyond those authorized by the CCPA without your consent.
6. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
Staffing Groups does not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
We may “share” certain personal information (such as identifiers, internet activity, and inferences) with advertising and analytics partners for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, as that term is defined under the CCPA. You have the right to opt out of this sharing at any time (see Section 8 below).
If you wish to opt out, please visit our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” page or contact us using the information in Section 13.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When personal information is no longer needed, we securely delete or de-identify it in accordance with our data retention policies.
8. Your California Privacy Rights
As a California resident, the CCPA grants you the following rights regarding your personal information:
A. Right to Know & Access
You have the right to request that we disclose what personal information we have collected, used, disclosed, or shared about you over the past 12 months. Specifically, you may request:
- The categories of personal information collected;
- The categories of sources from which information was collected;
- The business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing the information;
- The categories of third parties with whom we disclosed the information; and
- The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.
B. Right to Delete
You have the right to request that we delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions. We may deny a deletion request where retention is necessary to complete a transaction, detect security incidents, comply with a legal obligation, or make other lawful internal uses compatible with the context in which you provided the information.
C. Right to Correct
You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you, taking into account the nature of the information and the purposes for which it is processed.
D. Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing
You have the right to direct us not to sell or share your personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise this right, visit our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” page or contact us directly.
E. Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information
If we collect sensitive personal information, you have the right to limit our use and disclosure of that information to purposes that are necessary to provide the services or goods you have requested.
F. Right to Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. We will not deny you services, charge different prices, provide a different quality of service, or suggest you will receive different treatment as a result of exercising your privacy rights.
9. How to Submit a Request
To exercise any of the rights described above, you may submit a verifiable consumer request through any of the following methods:
Online: https://staffinggroups.com/contact/
Email: info@staffinggroups.com
Phone: (704) 421-4826
Mail: Staffing Groups, Attn: Privacy Team, Office Location: 8633 Monroe Rd suite C-1 NC 28212
You may submit a request to know or access your information up to twice within any 12-month period. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.
10. Our Verification Process
For your protection, we must verify your identity before fulfilling your request. We will ask you to provide information that matches what we have on file—such as your name, email address, phone number, or transaction history—to confirm you are the individual (or authorized representative) whose information is the subject of the request.
We strive to respond to all verifiable requests within 45 calendar days of receipt. If we require additional time (up to 90 days total), we will notify you in writing of the reason for the extension. Our response will cover the 12-month period preceding the date of your request.
If we are unable to verify your identity or authority, or if we cannot fulfill your request, we will explain the reason in our response.
11. Authorized Agents
You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. Authorized agents must be registered with the California Secretary of State or hold a valid power of attorney. We may require both the agent and the consumer to verify their identities before processing the request. You may also submit a request on behalf of your minor child.
12. Updates to This Policy
We may update this California Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or business operations. When we make material changes, we will post the revised Policy on our website with an updated “Last Updated” date and, where appropriate, notify you via email or a prominent notice on our website.
