CALIFORNIA CONSUMER RIGHTS
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) gives California residents the right to opt out of the “sale” of their personal information, as that term is defined in the CCPA. As defined, the term may include some of our sharing of personal information about potential candidates with a prospective employer.
If you are a California resident, you may opt out of such sharing with prospective employers by emailing us at info@optimalsearchgroup.com or by calling 214-487-3886. This could result in fewer career opportunities for you, but it will not prevent us from disclosing your details to particular employers that you tell us you are interested in pursuing.
You must provide at least one preferred email address in your request since we have an email address on file for most individuals in our database. This also allows us to provide you confirmation that your request has been processed or to contact you if we have questions about your request. Since we sometimes have multiple, separate records for a single individual, we encourage you to also provide an additional email address, as well as your name and the name of your current or prior employer. This will maximize our ability to fully honor your request.
For individuals located in California, you have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (the "CCPA") concerning your personal information. These rights include:
- Right to be Informed about Collection, Sale, or Disclosure: You have the right to be informed of the categories of personal information we collect about you and the sources from which we collect it. You are also entitled to know the business or commercial purposes for which we use or disclose, or sell, your personal information, as well as the categories of third parties with whom we share it. Please note, Optimal Search Group does not sell your information.
- Right of Access and to Obtain a Copy of Your Personal Information: You have the right to request access to and a copy of your personal information that we collected over the previous twelve months.
- Right of Deletion: You have the right to request the deletion of personal data that we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
- Right to Opt-out of the Sale of Personal Information: Optimal Search Group does not sell personal information to third parties.
- Right Not to Be Discriminated Against for Exercising These Rights: You have the right to be free of discrimination for exercising your consumer privacy rights. We will not deny you services, charge different amounts, or provide a different quality level of services for exercising your rights unless the difference is reasonably related to the value of your data.
OTHER JURISDICTIONS
Under the laws of some jurisdictions, you may have the right to request additional information about the personal data we collect, request access to the personal data we process, correct errors or omissions, delete personal data, or object to or limit further processing. We will honor individual rights requests under those laws.
Additionally, if we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time. This withdrawal will not affect any processing of your personal information that occurred before you withdrew your consent.
Accessing and Correcting Your Information
If you wish to exercise your privacy rights, please send your request via email to info@optimalsearchgroup.com.
To safeguard your privacy and security, we may take measures to verify your identity, adhering to all applicable legal requirements for response deadlines to your request.
Data Security
We have implemented appropriate security measures to prevent personal information from being unintentionally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized manner. Access to your personal information is restricted to those with a genuine business need, and they will process the information only in an authorized manner and under a duty of confidentiality. Additionally, we have established procedures to address any suspected data security breaches. We will inform you and any relevant regulatory authorities of suspected data security breaches if required by law.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
