1. Scope and Purpose
This Recruitment Privacy Policy explains how Comprehensive Community Health Centers (“CCHC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and retains personal information (“PI”) about job applicants and prospective contractors (together, “candidates”). Although nonprofit entities such as CCHC are generally exempt from the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, “CCPA”), we voluntarily provide this notice to promote transparency and to honor the privacy rights of California residents. The Policy applies to PI collected both online (e.g., through our Careers page, email, or virtual interviews) and offline (e.g., at job fairs, in-person interviews, or through recruiters).
We provide this Policy—and a short Notice at Collection link—at or before every point where we request candidate PI, as required under the CCPA. cppa.ca.gov

Delete
Request deletion of PI we collected from you, unless an exception applies (e.g., legal retention obligations).

We will confirm receipt within 10 business days and respond within 45 calendar days, or explain why an extension is required.
7. Security & Retention
CCHC maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect candidate PI against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Retention periods vary by PI category and are based on statutory requirements, potential litigation holds, and our internal records-management policy.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Recruitment Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or the law. The “Effective” date at the top of the Policy indicates when it was last revised.
