Our Customers’ Employment Applications

When job seekers initiate employment applications on our Customers’ sites provided by ExactHire Services, they are requesting to be considered for employment by the employer (our Customer).

Communication Charges:

Message and data rates may apply. Some means of communication may incur charges with a Customer and/or job seeker’s service provider.

International Data Transfers

We may transfer your Personal Information to countries other than the country in which the data was originally collected. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided that information. When we transfer your Personal Information to other countries, we will protect it as described in this Privacy Policy.

To offer our services, we may need to transfer your Personal Information among several countries where we have employees, facilities or third party sub-processors, including the United States, where we are headquartered. By providing your Personal Data, you consent to such transfer.

California Data Privacy

California residents have certain privacy rights as specified under California law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). If you are a resident of California, you have the following rights:

  • The right to know or request that a business disclose what Personal Information of yours that it collects, uses, discloses and sells.

ExactHire collects various categories of personal information when you or your employer use ExactHire Platforms or Services, including location information, log data, tracking information, and personal information related to your employment. A more detailed description of the information ExactHire collects and how we use it is provided above in the sections entitled: “Personal Information We Collect”, “How ExactHire Uses Your Personal Information”, “How ExactHire May Disclose or Share Your Information”, “How We Hold and Secure Your Information”, and “How Long We Keep Your Personal Data”.

In addition to ExactHire’s collection of your Personal Information, ExactHire may engage certain third parties to perform a function or provide services to you on behalf of ExactHire including hosting and maintenance, error monitoring, debugging, performance monitoring, billing, customer and account relationship management, database storage and management, and direct marketing campaigns. ExactHire may share your Personal Information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these functions and provide such services. ExactHire requires these third parties to maintain the privacy and security of the Personal Information they process on our behalf.

ExactHire does not sell your Personal Information when you use ExactHire Platforms or when you use an ExactHire Service and will not do so in the future without providing you with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of such sale as required by law. ExactHire does not offer financial incentives associated with the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information.

ExactHire will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. To this end, unless permitted by the CCPA, ExactHire will not:

  • Deny you access to ExactHire Platforms or Services;
  • Charge you a different price or rate for a Platform or Service, including the granting of discounts or other incentives;
  • Provide a different or downgraded Platform or Service;
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for an ExactHire Platform or its Services or a different or downgraded Platform or Service;

To exercise your rights under the CCPA please submit a verifiable consumer request to ExactHire by emailing us at privacy@exacthire.com. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access to your data twice within a twelve (12) month period. Your verifiable consumer request must:

  • Be made by a natural person;
  • Provide sufficient information to allow ExactHire to reasonably verify your identity and that you are the person about whom we collected personal information, or you are an authorized representative;
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows ExactHire to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to your request.

In certain cases, ExactHire collects and processes personal information on you at the contractual obligation of your employer. In order to respond to a verified request, ExactHire may be required to provide notice to your employer of your request, and to follow your employer’s instructions as they relate to carrying out your request.

ExactHire cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable request does not require you to create an account, but we may ask you to verify your request by logging into your account if you have one. We will only use personal information provided by a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use Personal Information from children under 13 years of age, and no part of our website is directed to children under the age of 13. We will take steps to delete it if we learn we have inadvertently collected it.

If you learn that your child has provided us with Personal Information without your consent, you may alert us at privacy@exacthire.com. If we learn that we have collected any Personal Information from children under 13, we will promptly take steps to delete such information and terminate the child’s account.

(a)  Definition of Confidential Information. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all confidential information disclosed by a Party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Licensee’s Confidential Information will include Data; ExactHire Confidential Information will include the Services; and Confidential Information of each Party will include business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such Party. However, Confidential Information (other than Data) will not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.

Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its affiliates and its legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent.

(c)  Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.

6. TERM AND TERMINATION

(a)  Term of Agreement. This Agreement takes effect on the date Licensee first signs an Order Form incorporating these terms and will remain in effect until all applicable Order Forms have expired or been terminated.

(b)  Term of Purchased Subscriptions. The term of each subscription shall be as specified in the applicable Order Form(s). Except as otherwise specified in an Order Form, subscriptions will automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring subscription term or one year (whichever is shorter), unless either party gives the other written notice (email acceptable) at least 30 days before the end of the relevant subscription term. Except as expressly provided in the applicable Order Form(s), renewal of promotional, or one-time priced subscriptions will be at ExactHire’s applicable list price in effect at the time of the applicable renewal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any renewal in which subscription volume or subscription length for any Services has decreased from the prior term will result in re-pricing at renewal without regard to the prior term’s per-unit pricing.

(c)  Termination. If either Party commits a material breach or default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, then the other Party may terminate this Agreement, provided that the terminating Party gives the breaching or defaulting Party written notice of termination specifying the underlying breach or default within 30 days of discovery of such breach or default, and such breach or default remains uncured 30 days after the breaching or defaulting Party receives the notice.

(d)  Effect of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the rights, licenses and access to the Services granted to Licensee under this Agreement will immediately terminate. If this Agreement expires, or if ExactHire terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 6(c), all Fees will become immediately due and payable to ExactHire. If Licensee terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 6(c), ExactHire will provide Licensee with a pro-rated refund of any prepaid Fees covering the period from the date of termination through the end of the Term. In no event will expiration or termination of this Agreement relieve Licensee of any obligation to pay Fees payable for the period prior to the date of termination.

(e)  Data.

SECURITY

ExactHire values the trust that our customers place in us by letting us act as custodians of their data. We take our responsibility to protect and secure your information seriously and strive for complete transparency around our security practices detailed below. Our Privacy Policy also further details the ways we handle your data.

Physical Security and Compliance

ExactHire’s Services are hosted at an enterprise level, third party hosting company.  It is a managed technology service provider that delivers first-in-class hosting service to businesses throughout North America.  Some of the key security elements provided include:

  • Biometric access, cameras, staffed lobby
  • Full security audit trail, badging, positive ID
  • Escort only access / full management available
  • Protected / OC12 to OC-192 SONET backbones
  • FM-200 or Dry Pipe fire suppression
  • Redundant, conditioned power 110v to 480v
  • Exceptional uptime exceeding 99.9999%
  • Redundant modular cooling with on-site backup

In addition, all transactions are processed using secure encryption at the same level of encryption used by leading banks and financial services providers. Personal information is transmitted and processed securely.

Security

Encryption

Personally identifiable information is stored on a separate server as a security precaution and our sites are SSL encrypted.

Data in transit

Data in transit is protected by a SSL certificate encrypted with a 2048 bit key. Remote access is via ip-address-limited SSH. Only the firewall / load balancer is publicly accessible.

Passwords

System passwords are randomly salted, created and stored using a bcrypt based one-way hashing algorithm.

Backups

Real-time data replication is used between on-site, redundant servers. Additional backups are encrypted and stored on two separate NAS devices and archival backups are transported to a vaulted, offsite storage facility.

Your Responsibilities

Keeping your data secure also requires that you maintain the security of your account by using sufficiently complicated passwords and storing them safely. You should also ensure that you have sufficient security on your own systems.

GDPR READINESS

ExactHire GDPR Readiness

ExactHire is pleased to announce that its systems and processes are compliant with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).  GDPR is the new standard in the European Union (EU) governing the privacy and data protection of EU residents, effective May 25, 2018. This means that ExactHire (as the “data processor”) is able to effectively support clients (“data controllers”) who have employees and applicants residing in the EU as they also meet their own obligations under the GDPR.

To comply with GDPR, organizations must heed the following important requirements:

  • Obtain consent to collect and process personal information
  • Protect personal data
  • Control access to personal data
  • Provide the option to restrict processing and/or erase personal data
  • Inform customers of data breaches

How ExactHire Handles GDPR

ExactHire is staying ahead of the GDPR changes, both in its role as a data processor and in support of data controllers. ExactHire’s efforts include:

  • Providing effective human resources software platforms that enable client companies to comply with the GDPR requirements while still having a positive user experience.
  • Deploying industry-standard technical processes and procedures that protect data, both when it is in transmission and while we are hosting it.
  • Ensuring that we recognize that our clients own their data and that we process that data only in accordance with their instructions. This acknowledgement is recognized in our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy found, respectively. Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Service and our Terms of Service is our contract with every client.
  • Providing tools that allow our clients to meet the GDPR defined timelines when processing client data requests, whether it’s gathering consent, providing access, or erasing data.
  • Providing notification within the required 72 hours in the event of a data breach.
  • Continuing to monitor GDPR developments and guidance, to support our clients’ compliance efforts.

GDPR Readiness

Data Subject Consent

How does ExactHire plan to help clients obtain consent from individual job applicants to transfer their personal data to the US?

Collecting resumes and other relevant personal information is a legitimate interest of an employer evaluating and hiring candidates. Therefore, companies do not need to collect consent from job applicants. ExactHire customers are also not required to obtain consent from candidates to transfer their personal data from the EU to the US, because ExactHire can commit to providing a level of protection for the data that is acceptable under EU law.

Because obtaining consent from applicants is not required under the GDPR and creates a larger administrative burden on employers, we suspect that our customers with facilities in the EU will want to avoid it. However, our applications are customizable, so clients who want to collect consent from candidates can do so through customized questions that can be posted on their job boards. Clients may also provide any notifications to candidates required by the GDPR on their job pages, including the requirement to alert candidates that their personal data will be transferred outside of the EU. For assistance in customizing text on job pages, please contact privacy@exacthire.com.

The Right to be Forgotten

EU data subjects have the “right to be forgotten” and, therefore, ExactHire customers will be required to erase a candidate’s personal data when requested by the candidate. Companies also need to erase personal data when the business no longer has a legal basis to continue storing it under the GDPR.

ExactHire allows you to:

  • Request a bulk deletion of candidate data in order to comply with your organization’s specific policies of when your legal justification for keeping candidate data has expired. Consult your legal counsel before requesting that data be deleted.
    • Our data retention policies are set in yearly increments.
    • Data deletion requests are processed on the first of the requested month for the respective year. For example, if data deletion request is to be repeated every year in May, and a record is created on May 18, 2018, then the permanent deletion request for that record will be processed on May 1, 2020 (since the record would not yet have been a full year old on May 1, 2019).
    • Contact privacy@exacthire.com to make a request to delete candidate data.
  • Use customizable email templates to generate candidate emails requesting permission to keep their data longer than your default timeline, and keep their data when candidates agree.
  • Configure which data is deleted when a candidate asks to be forgotten (for example, you might decide to delete any personal data but keep anonymized information that would allow you to generate reports on pipeline conversion).
  • Request that an individual candidate’s data be deleted by contact privacy@exacthire.com.

Enhanced Rights to Notice and Access

Under the GDPR, employers are required to provide a variety of details at the time personal data is collected (for example, when a candidate applies to a job), including why they are collecting certain information, how long it will be stored, and where it will be sent.

The GDPR enhances individuals’ right to access their own personal data, and companies will need to provide this data to candidates upon request in an efficient and easily portable format.

ExactHire is ready to respond to and complete data requests from data controllers on behalf of their candidates. To request a data export for a candidate, email privacy@exacthire.com. You may specify what data should be accessible and then send it to candidates in a CSV file.

ExactHire can include language approved by you on your career sites so that any necessary notifications and disclosures are made to candidates when they apply. To make a request to update language, please contact privacy@exacthire.com.

The Right to Object

People have a right to restrict their personal data from being used for direct marketing purposes.

If a candidate opts out, ExactHire has a feature which prevents users from sending any email to that candidate.

ExactHire and Our Sub-Processors

In order to provide maximum transparency, we’ve created a list of sub-processors ExactHire works with along with details on how we use data collected through these sub-processors.
