The Select Group and its affiliates (“we,” “us,” and “our”) collect and use personal information for human resources, employment, benefits administration, health and safety, and business-related purposes and to be in legal compliance. This Human Resources Privacy Policy for California Residents (the “Policy”) applies only to personal information that we collect about or from individuals who reside in California acting as a job applicant (including when they use our careers website, https://selectgroup.jobs.net/), employee, or contractor to us (“California HR Personal Information”). California HR Personal Information does not include, and this Policy does not apply to, information that is not subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended from time to time (“CCPA”), such as deidentified information.

This Policy also does not apply to information we collect from visitors to our corporate website, selectgroup.com. To learn more about our handling of the information we collect through our corporate website, and from California residents who are not acting as our job applicants, employees, or contractors, please visit our Privacy Policy at: selectgroup.com/privacy-policy/.

Finally, this Policy applies only to the extent we direct the purposes and means of California HR Personal Information processing and otherwise qualify as a business under the CCPA. It does not apply to our activities as a “service provider” to our clients, as that term is defined under CCPA, or to California HR Personal Information that we process in that capacity. This Policy also may not apply to California HR Personal Information we process for purposes of compliance with federal, state, or local laws or court orders or subpoenas.
