At any time, you may contact us with privacy questions or concerns, request to view the personal data you have provided, and request its correction or deletion, subject to certain exceptions.

Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money, and we do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We may share your information with healthcare facilities and employers when you apply for positions or express interest in opportunities. Professional information, including identifiers and employment credentials, may be disclosed to prospective employers as part of the job matching process. Under certain circumstances, this disclosure may be considered a "sale" under California law.

Your information may be shared with service providers and agents acting on our behalf for the purpose of performing services for Health Center Careers (such as hosting, data analysis, and communication services). These parties are required to keep the information confidential and not use it for any purpose other than providing services to us.

We may also disclose personal information when required by law, in connection with law enforcement, fraud prevention, legal proceedings, mergers or acquisitions, or when we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect our rights, our users, or the public.

We may share anonymized, aggregate data for analytical purposes.

SMS and Text Messaging

We may communicate with you via SMS text messages regarding job opportunities, application updates, and related services. By providing your mobile phone number, you consent to receiving text messages from us.

You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message. Standard message and data rates may apply.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. SMS opt-in data and consent information will not be shared with any third parties.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to help deliver a customized experience. Cookies help us determine which content and features are most relevant to you and to maintain your session as you browse our site.

Our use of cookies does not mean we automatically collect personally identifying information. Cookies are designed to provide you with a better experience when using healthcentercareers.com. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You may disable cookies, but doing so may affect the functionality of certain features on our site.

Data Security

We strive to protect the security of your personal data through the use of appropriate technical and organizational measures, including encryption, access controls, and secure data storage. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. We may also retain information as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion of your information at any time by contacting us (see Contact Us below).

Marketing Communications

Periodically, we may send you information about job opportunities, new features, or other services we believe may be of interest to you. Only Health Center Careers (or agents working on our behalf) will send you these communications.

You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email, replying STOP to any text message, or contacting us directly. Opting out of marketing communications will not affect transactional messages related to your account or active job applications.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your account and data
• Opt out of marketing communications
• Withdraw consent for data processing where applicable

• Right to Delete: You have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions (such as when the information is needed to complete a transaction or comply with legal obligations).
• Right to Correct: You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
• Right to Opt Out of Sale: To the extent that any disclosure of your information constitutes a "sale" under California law, you have the right to opt out. You may exercise this right by contacting us using the information below.
• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: Given our current data practices, this right does not apply.
• Right to Non-Retaliation: You have the right not to be discriminated against or retaliated against for exercising any of your privacy rights.

When you submit a request to know, delete, or correct your information, we will take steps to verify your identity to help protect your privacy and maintain security. Our verification process may differ depending on whether you have an account with us and the type of request you are making.
