Submitting an employment inquiry or application does not guarantee employment or an interview.

Applicant Information and Marketing

Information submitted specifically in connection with an employment application or employment inquiry will not be sold to third parties for marketing purposes.

We will not use an employment application to enroll an applicant in unrelated promotional marketing simply because the person applied for a job.

Cookies and Website Technologies

Our website and third-party services we use may utilize cookies, pixels, analytics technologies, or similar tools.

These technologies may be used to operate our website, understand how visitors interact with it, measure advertising effectiveness, improve our services, and provide relevant advertising.

Third-Party Services

Our website and advertising may contain links to or integrate with third-party services, including social media platforms, mapping services, analytics providers, advertising platforms, and other websites.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies when providing information directly to them.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures appropriate for a small business to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, alteration, or loss.

However, no website, electronic transmission, database, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, legitimate business purposes, employment consideration, dispute resolution, recordkeeping, or compliance with applicable legal obligations.

When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete or securely dispose of it.

Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed toward children, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through our website for marketing purposes.

Employment applications are intended only for individuals legally eligible for the position for which they are applying.
