CORESTAFF Services understands the importance of privacy protection, and we make
every effort to ensure the information you share with us through our Web sites
is secure. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices for collecting, storing
and using the personal information you provide through any of our websites.
Through this policy, CORESTAFF Services strives to help you make well-informed
decisions about the management of your personal data.
Collecting & Storing Personal Information
Personal information may be collected from those who access our websites in
search of employment or for information regarding our services. To ensure
quality of service there is certain information we require, such as your name,
address and phone number, as well as other information such as your employment
experience, skills, and educational background.
Job applicants may choose to upload their resumes into our application tracking
system to be considered for employment. This could involve collecting personal
work history, education and skills. The data is stored in our applicant tracking
system, which is maintained in a secure data center.
Some of our temporary employees may enter their time worked each week into our
online timekeeping system. In order to process payroll, CORESTAFF will need
certain information, such as hours worked, personal information, and a tax ID
number. This information will be used to process payroll either through
CORESTAFF’s system or that of an agent of CORESTAFF. All information collected
will be protected by this Privacy Policy.
CORESTAFF may also collect and analyze demographic and geographic information,
such as the number of applicants in a particular city, or how many temporary
employees have a certain educational background. We may from time to time report
this information to marketing companies on an aggregate basis, or as required by
law. We will remove any unique personal information (such as name and address)
that could identify you in this demographic information.
CORESTAFF may collect anonymous information from visits to our sites through the
use of "web beacons,” which do not access your personal information, but rather
allows us to count users who have visited
our websites. This anonymous information is sometimes known as "clickstream
data." CORESTAFF or its vendors may use this data to analyze trends and
statistics to help us provide better customer service. If you do not want your
transaction details used in this manner, see the paragraph below on cookies.
Cookies, which are packets of information sent from a Web server to a Web
browser, are created for users who log in to our websites. The cookies do not
store personal information beyond a user’s name and email address, and are
removed when the user leaves the site.
The information in our Request for Information form is collected from users who
are interested in the services CORESTAFF provides to employers. The information
is received by an appropriate party who will follow up on the request.
Other Ways We Collect User Information
CORESTAFF uses Web usage tracking software to log the IP address of each
individual user. This information is used only to determine Web site usage, and
at no time is there any attempt to associate these IP addresses with personally
identifiable information such as names and addresses.

CORESTAFF collects the type of data viewed by some countries as "sensitive,"
such as information required to provide health-care benefits. This collection of
data is either compatible with employment law or is important to our employees.
In order to comply with statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to equal
employment opportunities, or to assist us in compiling data for its affirmative
action practices, we may also ask you to provide gender or racial information.
This provision of this type of information will be voluntary, unless it is
required by law, and will not hinder your employment opportunities. When
collecting sensitive information, we will ask you to provide your consent to
collect, store, and in some cases, transfer this data to third parties including
payroll service companies, health insurance organizations, or government
agencies as required by law.
CORESTAFF sometimes communicates with candidates through email messages when job
opportunities are available that match their skills. If at any time you want to
discontinue receipt of these emails simply reply with a message that
communicates your wishes.

required to do so by law enforcement or other governmental authority, or under

rights or property of CORESTAFF Services, to prevent a crime or protect others
from harm.
For our employees, we occasionally use other companies to provide limited
services on our behalf, such as health-care benefits, and by providing that
information you consent to the disclosure of that information to these
companies. We may also send your personal data to marketing companies who will
then contact you to determine your feedback and satisfaction with our services.
These companies may also send you information on our services.
We will only provide these agents and suppliers with the personal information
they need to deliver the service we have requested, and who have agreed to
maintain the confidentiality of that information in accordance with this policy.

at the address in this policy.
We will do our best to respond to all reasonable requests to update your

unduly burdensome, infringes on the rights of others, or is prohibited by law.

Keeping Information Secure
CORESTAFF realizes the importance of safeguarding your personal information and
has, in place, appropriate procedures to help ensure limited access to your
personally identifiable information. CORESTAFF uses reasonable security measures
to maintain the security of the personally identifiable information we may
collect and process. We may use
encryption, firewalls, password protection, and physical lock and key to help
prevent unauthorized access to your personally identifiable information. We may
also place internal restrictions on who in the company may access data to help
prevent unauthorized access to your personally identifiable information.
Despite our safeguards, the nature of the Internet is such
that data may be intercepted by unauthorized third parties regardless of any
security measures that may be in place. Therefore, in submitting personally
identifiable information to our websites, you assume the risk of an unauthorized
third party obtaining that information.
