We collect data through cookies and from your devices and networks

We may use information without restriction in a non-personally identifiable form for insights, statistics or reporting purposes (“Anonymized Information”).  For example, Anonymized Information could be aggregated data that does not (and cannot) identify our users and which could assist us and/or third parties with a better understanding of employment-related issues consistent with our mission.

We may use data that does not identify you in order to generate insights and only in a manner consistent with our mission.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your individual personal data, including selling, renting, trading, or otherwise sharing our mailing lists or database information.

We may share your information in the following, limited ways:

  1. Your Profile (or portions of your Profile) may be visible to customers, employers, and partners, but only in furtherance of your use of our Services, such as finding training or employment. 
  2. These parties may update your Profile information but only as it relates to their own specific engagement with you. For example, a supporting nonprofit or an employer may update your Profile to indicate that you have been hired, received training, etc, to the extent you have not already done so.

    IMPORTANT NOTE regarding any identified challenges identified as part of your journey (data related to barriers such as housing, childcare, transportation, criminal history, etc):  Only Phase1Recruitment personnel and the non-profits with which you have already voluntarily engaged will have visibility to, and ability to update, this information. Employers will not have access to this information.
    ‍
  3. You may link your Profile or account with others’ Services so that they have access to your information. Any such sharing and use of that data will be more fully described at the time you decide to so link your information. 
  4. We may share your data across our different Services and legally-affiliated entities to provide and develop our Services. 
  5. We may use others to help us provide our Services (i.e. maintenance, analysis, audit, payments, fraud detection, marketing and development). They will have access to your information as reasonably necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and may not disclose or use it for any other purposes.
  6. We may share Anonymized Information with third parties, but only consistent with our mission.
  7. We may need to share your data when we reasonably believe it’s required by law or to help protect the rights and safety of you, us or others. We attempt to notify you about legal demands for your data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand. 
  8. We can also share your data as part of a sale, merger or change in control, or in preparation for any of these events. Any other entity which buys us or part of our business will have the right to continue to use your data, but only in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy unless you agree otherwise.
  9. No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties

Phase1Recruitment does not sell your individual personal data. We may share your data, but only to help with your employment objectives, to help us with providing our services to you and others consistent with our mission, and as may be reasonably required under the law.
