Service Providers

We may sometimes use other businesses ("Service Providers") to perform certain services for us, e.g., to provide certain services on our behalf, such as analytics, payment processing, hosting and maintenance, data storage and management services. We provide our Service Providers with the information reasonably necessary for them to perform the services on our behalf.

If you are a Candidate, you authorize us to share your Candidate Information with such AI services for such purposes in connection with your candidacy.

Each Service Provider must agree (a) to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information involved in order to protect your information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure and (b) not to retain, use, or disclose the information for any purpose other than for the specific purpose of performing the services for us, or as otherwise permitted by law.
