2. How We Use Your Information

Maintain the security and integrity of our systems;
Comply with applicable laws, regulations, contractual requirements, and legal processes; and
Protect the rights, property, and interests of CGAVERY, our clients, candidates, and others.
Submission of information through our careers portal does not create an employment relationship, agency relationship, or guarantee that you will be considered for or placed in any particular position.
3. Sharing Candidate Information
As an executive search firm, an important part of our business is connecting qualified professionals with organizations seeking talent.
We may disclose relevant candidate information to CGAVERY clients and prospective employers when reasonably necessary to evaluate you for an employment opportunity.
We may also disclose information to service providers that assist us in operating our recruiting business, including providers of applicant tracking systems, recruiting technology, communications systems, website hosting, data storage, and related business services.
These providers may process information on our behalf as necessary to provide their services.
We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, court order, or governmental authority, or when reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights or the safety and security of CGAVERY, our clients, candidates, or others.
CGAVERY does not sell candidate personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
4. Recruiting Technology and Top Echelon
CGAVERY uses third-party technology providers to support our recruiting and applicant tracking activities, including Top Echelon.
Information submitted through our careers portal may therefore be processed and stored using Top Echelon's recruiting and applicant tracking technology on behalf of CGAVERY.
These technology providers may process personal information as necessary to provide their services to CGAVERY and are subject to their own contractual, security, and privacy obligations.
5. SMS and Text Messaging
If you provide your mobile telephone number and consent to receive text messages from CGAVERY, we may use SMS or similar messaging technologies to communicate with you regarding recruiting matters, employment opportunities, interviews, scheduling, and other communications related to our services.
Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of applying for a position or receiving recruiting services from CGAVERY.
Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out of receiving text messages at any time by replying STOP, STOP ALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, QUIT, or END to a message.
For assistance, reply HELP or contact CGAVERY using the contact information provided below.
CGAVERY will not share your mobile information with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes. Mobile opt-in information and consent will not be shared with third parties for any purpose, except as necessary for service providers that facilitate our communications and as required by law.
6. Cookies and Website Information
Our website and careers portal may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, understand website usage, improve functionality, and maintain security.
Third-party providers that support our website or careers portal may also collect technical information in connection with providing their services.
You may be able to limit or disable cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect certain website functionality.
7. Data Retention
Because executive search relationships often extend over many years, CGAVERY may retain candidate information after a particular search or application has concluded so that we can consider you for future opportunities.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for our recruiting and business purposes, to maintain appropriate business records, and to satisfy applicable legal, contractual, and regulatory obligations.
You may contact us to request that we update or delete your information as described below.

You may contact CGAVERY to request that we:
Provide information about personal information we maintain about you;
Correct or update inaccurate information;
Delete certain personal information;
Stop contacting you regarding recruiting opportunities; or
Withdraw a previously provided communication preference or consent.
We will respond to requests as required by applicable law. Certain information may need to be retained for legitimate business, legal, regulatory, security, or recordkeeping purposes.

9. Data Security
CGAVERY uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or maintained by us.
10. Third-Party Websites
Our website or careers portal may contain links to websites operated by third parties. CGAVERY is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.
