  1. DELETION REQUESTS

You may request that Skill Trade Staffing delete any of your personal information we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request we will delete your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request (in whole or in part) in accordance with any purpose that is permitted by the CCPA. For example, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information (or a portion thereof) is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  1. EXERCISING ACCESS AND DELETION REQUESTS

Making a Verifiable Consumer Request: To exercise an access or deletion request as described above, you can submit a verifiable consumer request to us in one of the following ways:

  • Delete Your Account:If you would like to delete your job seeker account (including the personal information associated with your account), you may log in to your password-protected account on the Website, visit the Account Settings page, and click “Delete Account” (or click here to login and be taken directly to that page). We consider requests made through your password-protected account sufficiently verified when the deletion request relates to that specific account.
  • Send Us an Email with your Request:You may send an email support@skilledtradestaffing.com. To submit a verifiable consumer request via email, you must email us from the email address that is associated with your Skill Trade Staffing account. If you are requesting access to categories and/or specific pieces of your personal information, you will be asked to provide identifying information that enables us to verify you with information in our system. Once you submit your verifiable consumer request, we will verify your identity by matching the information you provided us with information in our systems.

We 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 the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password-protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Limitations on CCPA Requests: You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

  1. RESPONSE TIMING AND FORMAT

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within five (5) business days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, for example, through an Excel or JSON file format.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

  1. NON-DISCRIMINATION

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
