We also do not "share" your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. We do not use your data for targeted advertising across other websites or platforms.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA (such as Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, financial account numbers, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, genetic data, biometric data, or health information).

If sensitive personal information is incidentally included in a resume or document you upload, we do not use it to infer characteristics about you. We recommend removing sensitive personal information from your resume before uploading.

7. Your California Privacy Rights

As a California resident, you have the following rights under the CCPA/CPRA. These rights are subject to certain exceptions and limitations:

7.1 Right to Know

7.2 Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions (for example, if we need the information to complete a transaction, detect security incidents, comply with legal obligations, or exercise free speech rights).

7.6 Right to Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your California privacy rights. We will not deny you services, charge you different prices, provide a different level of service, or suggest that you will receive a different price or quality of service for exercising your rights.
