EXERCISING YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Verification: Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to exercise your privacy rights. We will need to verify your identity before processing your request. In order to verify your identity, we will generally either require you to login to your account or we must be able to match certain information you provide us to the information we maintain about you. Your request must:
-
Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative of such person
-
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
Certain requests may require us to obtain additional personal information from you. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
Authorized Agents: You can empower an “authorized agent” to submit requests on your behalf. We will require the authorized agent to have a written authorization confirming their authority pursuant to the relevant legal regulations.
RESPONSE TIMING AND FORMAT
We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing prior to the expiration of the original 45 days.
We will deliver our written response electronically to the email address we have on file for you, regardless of the email address from which you submitted the request.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
REQUESTS SUBMITTED BY AUTHORIZED AGENTS
In certain circumstances, you are permitted to use an authorized agent, as that term is defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) (“Authorized Agent”), to submit requests on your behalf where you provide sufficient evidence that the requestor is an authorized agent with written permission to act on your behalf and you successfully verify your own identity with us. An Authorized Agent can make a request on the subject consumer’s behalf by:
-
For requests to know and delete: (1) providing a valid power of attorney under the laws of the subject individual’s state of residence; or (2) providing sufficient evidence to show that the subject consumer has (i) provided the Authorized Agent signed permission to act on their behalf, (ii) verified their own identity directly with us, and (iii) directly confirmed with us that they have provided the Authorized Agent permission to submit the request on their behalf
-
For requests to opt out: submitting a signed permission demonstrating that the Authorized Agent has been authorized by the subject consumer to act on their behalf
NOTICE OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVES
From the time to time, we may run sweepstakes, contests, or other offers and promotions (collectively, “Programs”) that may be deemed “financial incentives” in relation to our collection of personal information under applicable U.S. privacy laws. A business may offer financial incentives for the collection, sale or deletion of personal information, provided it is not unjust, unreasonable, coercive or usurious, and is made available in compliance with applicable transparency, informed consent, and opt-out requirements. We may run sweepstakes or contests from time to time. Please refer to the terms and conditions of each Program for additional information about the Program, including how eligible consumers can opt-in or opt-out of the Program at any time. In order to enter a Program, you may be required to provide us or a service provider acting on our behalf with certain personal information, such as identifiers including your name and contact information (“Rewards Data”). If you submit your entry in accordance with the applicable Program’s rules, you may be entered into the Program and will get a chance to win a prize or receive another benefit from us. The value of Rewards Data is related to the value of your information and the costs associated with offering the Program.

EXERCISING YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Verification: Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to exercise your privacy rights. We will need to verify your identity before processing your request. In order to verify your identity, we will generally either require you to login to your account or we must be able to match certain information you provide us to the information we maintain about you. Your request must:
-
Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative of such person
-
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
Certain requests may require us to obtain additional personal information from you. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
Authorized Agents: You can empower an “authorized agent” to submit requests on your behalf. We will require the authorized agent to have a written authorization confirming their authority pursuant to the relevant legal regulations.

We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing prior to the expiration of the original 45 days.
We will deliver our written response electronically to the email address we have on file for you, regardless of the email address from which you submitted the request.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
REQUESTS SUBMITTED BY AUTHORIZED AGENTS
In certain circumstances, you are permitted to use an authorized agent, as that term is defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) (“Authorized Agent”), to submit requests on your behalf where you provide sufficient evidence that the requestor is an authorized agent with written permission to act on your behalf and you successfully verify your own identity with us. An Authorized Agent can make a request on the subject consumer’s behalf by:
-
For requests to know and delete: (1) providing a valid power of attorney under the laws of the subject individual’s state of residence; or (2) providing sufficient evidence to show that the subject consumer has (i) provided the Authorized Agent signed permission to act on their behalf, (ii) verified their own identity directly with us, and (iii) directly confirmed with us that they have provided the Authorized Agent permission to submit the request on their behalf

Notice of Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information
This notice is required by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) which only applies to residents of California. For more information about our information collection practices andprocedures, and about the rights of California residents under the CCPA, please visit our privacy policy.
The term “sell” is very broadly defined under the CCPA. Under the CCPA, “sell” means sell, rent, release, disclose, disseminate, make available, transfer, or otherwise communicate orally, inwriting, or by electronic or other means a consumer’s personal information by the business to another business or a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. California residentshave the right to direct us, at any time, not to sell their personal information to third parties. This is called the right to opt out.
The purpose of this notice is to advise California residents that we may sell your personal information within the meaning of the CCPA.
To exercise this right, California residents may opt-out by e-mailing inquiry@brightflagrecruiting.com and indicating in the e-mail, (i) your name, address and e-mail address, (ii) that you are aresident of California, and (iii) you are exercising your right to opt-out of the “sale” of your personal information. You may also make this request by calling our Customer Service Department at615.669.2470, and providing the same information and request.
You do not need to create an account with us to exercise this right. However, the law contains exceptions to the definition of selling which may limit how we may respond to your request. Forexample, selling does not include (i) performing services on behalf of Bright Flag Recruiting whether directly or through a service provider such as servicing accounts, processing payments etc. or(ii) auditing related to a current interaction with a California resident.
California residents can also authorize another person, called an agent, to opt out of the sale of their personal information on their behalf. When a California resident uses an authorized agent toexercise his or her right to opt out, we may require proof that the agent has been authorized by the resident to act on his or behalf, including a written confirmation from the resident confirmingthe authorization.
