8. California Applicant and Candidate Supplemental Privacy Notice
Some U.S. state privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (referred to as the “CCPA”), require specific disclosures for state residents.
This Notice is designed to help you understand how Prequel handles your information. In the sections above, we explain:
(1) the types of information Prequel collects and the sources of that information;
(2) how Prequel uses information;
(3) when Prequel may disclose information; and
(4) how Prequel retains information.
Prequel does not sell your personal information. Prequel also does not “share” your personal information as that term is defined in the CCPA.
State laws like the CCPA also provide the right to request information about how Prequel collects, uses, and discloses your information. And they may give you the right to access and correct your information, and to request that Prequel delete that information. Finally, the CCPA provides the right to not be discriminated against for exercising these privacy rights.
If you have questions or concerns related to your rights under CCPA or would like to exercise your rights, you (or your authorized agent) can contact Prequel at
[email protected]. We’ll validate your request by verifying your interactions with Prequel, and may require that you provide us with additional information, such as any names, phone numbers or email addresses you have used when communicating with us.
