7. Your California Privacy Rights

A. Applicant Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California, starting January 1, 2023, you may have additional rights regarding your Personal Information under the CCPA. These rights include:

  • Right to Know/Access. You have the right to request (subject to certain exemptions):
    • The categories of Personal Information we collected about you;
    • The sources from which we have collected that Personal Information;
    • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing that Personal Information;

California CCPA defines a "sale" as disclosing or making available to a third-party Personal Information in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “sharing” broadly includes disclosing or making available Personal Information to a third party for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising. While we do not disclose Personal Information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, if you apply to an open position on our website, we may “sell” or “share” (as defined by the CCPA) Identifiers and Internet or Other Electric Network Activity Information to third-party advertising networks, analytics providers, and social networks for purposes of marketing and advertising. We do not sell or share sensitive personal information, nor do we sell or share any Personal Information about individuals who we know are under sixteen (16) years old.

We do not use or disclose Applicant Sensitive Personal Information for purposes except as described herein (and as permitted pursuant to Cal. Code Regs. tit. 11, § 7027(l) (2022)).
  • Right to Limit Use and Disclosure. Subject to certain conditions and exceptions, you may have the right to limit the use and disclosure of “Sensitive Personal Information,” as defined under the CPRA. However, we do not engage in activities triggering this right.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights described in this section.
B. Exercising Your California Privacy Rights

To exercise any of these CCPA rights, please use one of the following methods:

Please indicate you are exercising your “CCPA rights” as an applicant of Glidewell. Glidewell will need to confirm your identity before fulfilling the request, so please provide us with your full name, the email address you used to communicate with us, your address, and any applicant number you were assigned]. In some cases, we may request additional information to verify your identity, or where necessary to process your request. If we are unable to verify your identity after a good faith attempt, we may deny the request and, if so, will explain the basis for the denial.

You may designate someone to submit requests and act on your behalf (an “Authorized Agent”). To do so, the Authorized Agent must submit a data privacy request using this form and provide us with written consent signed by you to act on your behalf. We may also ask you directly to verify that you have authorized your authorized agent to act on your behalf.
