Depending on the stage of an application, in addition to the information you provide to us, we may obtain information about you from other third parties, such as platforms used to collect application information, recruiters, references, former employers, and law enforcement agencies. 

2. How We Use Information

The information that you submit during a job application process may be used for personnel recruitment, management, and planning purposes including the following: 

• Analyze your      qualifications for the job you applied for or future jobs that may match      your profile; 
• Communicate with you      regarding your job application, your inquiries and requests, other job      openings, or important notices; 
• Conduct criminal history,      background, and employment checks, if we offer you a position;  
• Support our efforts to      maintain a diverse workforce; and 
• Comply with or monitor our      compliance with any applicable law or regulation. 

We may use and share information in an aggregated or de-identified manner data at our discretion, including for research, analysis, modeling, marketing, and improvement of our Services. 

3. Accuracy of Information You Provide

You are responsible for the information you provide to SC Thrive and ensuring that it is honest, truthful, accurate, and not misleading in any way. 

4. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information in the following circumstances: 

• Vendors and Service      Providers. We      may share your information with vendors and service providers that we      believe need the information to perform a technology, business, or other      professional function for us, including providing products or Services to      you or our clients on our behalf, creating or maintaining our databases,      researching and analyzing the people who request information from us,      preparing and distributing communications, or responding to      inquiries.  
• Business Transition. If SC Thrive, or any      portion of our assets, are acquired by, merged with, transferred to, or      invested in by another company, we may share your personal information      with that company or other third parties involved in the business      transition. We cannot promise that an acquiring party or the merged entity      will have the same privacy practices or treat your information the same as      described in this Notice. 
• Legal. We share information where      necessary to comply with applicable law, to respond to requests from law      enforcement agencies or other government authorities or third parties, as      permitted by law, and without your consent when it is necessary to protect      our customers, employees, or property; in emergency situations; or to      enforce our rights under our terms of service and policies. 

6. Retention & Disposal

We retain information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, for legitimate business reasons, or as required by law. When we dispose of information, we use secure means, such as either physically or electronically erasing information or making it anonymous in a non-recoverable manner.

7. Security

We implement the appropriate organizational, technical, and physical security measures and controls to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the personal information entrusted to us. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us at hr@scthrive.org.
