TEXT MESSAGING PRIVACY POLICY – RECRUITING COMMUNICATIONS

Effective Date: January 1, 2025

Governing Entity: [SOLON Corporation (“the Company”)

1. Scope and Purpose

This Privacy Policy governs the use of text messaging (SMS and MMS) communications by the

Company through the Paylocity Recruiting module. Text messaging may be utilized for

recruitment-related purposes, including but not limited to:

- Acknowledgment of application submission;

- Scheduling and confirming interviews;

- Providing reminders, updates, and status notifications regarding the recruitment process; and

- Communicating employment-related opportunities.

The Company does not use text messaging for general marketing purposes.

2. Candidate Consent

By voluntarily providing a mobile telephone number in connection with the recruitment process,

candidates expressly consent to the receipt of automated and non-automated text messages from the

Company. Such consent constitutes prior express written consent under the Telephone Consumer

Protection Act (TCPA), 47 U.S.C. § 227, and any other applicable federal, state, or local laws and

regulations.

Message frequency will vary depending on the stage of the recruitment process. Standard messaging

and data rates imposed by mobile carriers may apply.

3. Opt-Out Rights

Candidates may revoke their consent to receive text messages at any time by replying “STOP” to any

text message received from the Company. Following receipt of such a request, the Company will cease

sending text communications to the number provided, except where otherwise required or permitted by

law.

Candidates who opt out of text messaging may continue to receive recruitment-related communications

via email or other communication methods. Candidates may re-subscribe by replying “START” or by

updating preferences within the Paylocity Recruiting platform.

4. Data Collection and Use

The Company collects and maintains mobile phone numbers and related information solely for

recruitment and employment-related purposes. The Company does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise

disclose mobile numbers or text message content to unaffiliated third parties for marketing purposes.

Data associated with text messaging will be stored and maintained in Paylocity in accordance with the

Company’s record retention policies and applicable data protection laws, including but not limited to the

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other

relevant privacy frameworks where applicable.

5. Security of Information

The Company implements commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards

to protect candidate personal information, including mobile telephone numbers, against unauthorized

access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of electronic communication can be

guaranteed as completely secure, and candidates acknowledge and accept this risk by participating in

text message communications.

6. Candidate Responsibilities

Candidates are responsible for providing accurate and current mobile telephone information and for

notifying the Company promptly of any changes. The Company is not responsible for misdirected,

delayed, or failed text messages resulting from inaccurate or outdated candidate information, technical

issues, or carrier-related transmission failures.

7. Policy Modifications

The Company reserves the right to amend, modify, or update this Privacy Policy at any time in its sole

discretion, subject to applicable law. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting or

notification. Continued participation in the recruitment process following such changes constitutes

acceptance of the revised policy.
