The Recruiter Gal (“TRG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, purchase our services, subscribe to our communications, or otherwise interact with The Recruiter Gal.

By using our website or services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, email address, telephone number, billing information, professional background, employment history, career goals, résumé, cover letter, LinkedIn profile information, and other materials or information you provide in connection with our career services.

If you purchase a service, we may collect information necessary to process and manage your order. Payment information is processed through third-party payment processors, such as Stripe, and TRG does not directly store complete credit or debit card information.

If you subscribe to our newsletter or other email communications, we may collect your name, email address, subscription preferences, and information related to your interaction with our emails.

We may also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring website, pages visited, and general website usage information.

How We Use Your Information

We may use your information to:

• Provide résumé writing, interview preparation, career consulting, outplacement, fractional career services, and other services you request;
• Communicate with you regarding inquiries, purchases, appointments, projects, or services;
• Process transactions and administer orders;
• Schedule consultations, coaching sessions, or other appointments;
• Deliver newsletters, career resources, and other communications you have requested;
• Improve our website, services, and customer experience;
• Maintain business and transaction records;
• Detect or prevent fraudulent or unauthorized activity; and
• Comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory requirements.

We do not sell your résumé, career information, contact information, or other personal information to third parties.

Résumés and Career Information

Because TRG provides career-related services, clients may provide résumés, employment histories, education information, professional accomplishments, contact information, and other career-related materials.

We use this information to provide the services you request. We encourage clients not to include unnecessary sensitive information—such as Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, medical information, or other highly sensitive personal information—in résumés, intake forms, or other materials submitted to TRG.

Payments

TRG may use WooCommerce to facilitate online purchases and third-party payment processors such as Stripe to process payments.

Payment processors may collect payment card information, billing addresses, and other information necessary to complete a transaction. Payment information handled directly by a third-party processor is governed by that provider’s privacy and security practices.

TRG does not directly store your complete payment card information.

Email Marketing and MailerLite

If you subscribe to Behind the Recruiting Desk, download certain resources, or otherwise opt in to marketing communications, your information may be processed through MailerLite, our email marketing provider.

We may use this information to send newsletters, career advice, resources, service information, and other TRG communications.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the email. Unsubscribing from marketing communications will not prevent us from sending transactional or service-related communications when necessary.

Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the website, measure performance, and improve our services.

We may use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to better understand website traffic and visitor behavior. These providers may collect information through cookies and similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain consent before using non-essential cookies.  You may also control or disable cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect certain website functionality.

How We Share Information

We may share personal information with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate our business and provide our services. These may include website and hosting providers, payment processors, email marketing providers, scheduling platforms, analytics providers, professional advisors, and other technology providers that support TRG’s operations.

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, security, or safety of TRG, our clients, or others.

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including payment processors, scheduling platforms, social media platforms, and other resources.

TRG does not control the privacy practices of these third parties. When you leave our website or interact directly with a third-party service, that provider’s privacy policy and terms apply.

Social Media

Our website may contain links to TRG’s social media profiles, including LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, or other platforms.

When you interact with a social media platform, that platform may collect information about your activity in accordance with its own privacy practices. TRG does not control how third-party social media platforms collect or use information.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain appropriate business and transaction records, fulfill legal or contractual obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods depending on their purpose and applicable legal requirements.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete or securely dispose of it in accordance with our business practices and applicable law.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information and, where applicable, to obtain a copy of your information or opt out of certain types of processing.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain privacy requests.

You may withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails.

Children’s Privacy

TRG’s website and services are intended for adults and are not directed toward children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that such information has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our business practices, technology, services, or legal requirements.

When changes are made, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage visitors to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
