QuickOB Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy outlines the data protection practices of QUICKOB.com, owned by QUICK QORE Inc. and its affiliated companies (collectively referred to as “QUICKOB,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy applies to all websites and mobile applications owned and operated by us that link to this Privacy Policy, as well as related online and offline services (collectively, the “Services”).

QUICKOB offers web-based software solutions designed to link businesses (“Employers”) seeking to fill job positions with our extensive network of job and shift seekers (“Seekers”). This policy clearly distinguishes between Seekers and Employers to clarify the different scenarios in which we may collect, use, or share personal information.

When Seekers use our Services to complete job applications, onboarding documents/forms for specific Employers, or communicate directly with Employers (“Employer Direct Engagement”), we act as a service provider or processor for these Employers. Employers are responsible for deciding how they interact with Seekers through our platform and thus determine the purposes and methods of handling Seeker data for Employer Direct Engagements. In these situations, Seekers should review the privacy policies of the respective Employers carefully, as QUICKOB is not responsible for the Employers’ privacy practices.

Conversely, when Seekers create profiles and utilize our related services independently, QUICKOB.com functions as the primary business entity rather than a service provider…

Please read this Privacy Policy thoroughly to understand how we manage your information. By using QUICKOB Services, you explicitly and voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions outlined in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, which permit us to process your information.

Usage Data

We may track and analyze your usage of our Services. This includes information such as the dates and times you access our Services, the features you utilize, the pages you visit, the type of browsers you use, the content you upload or post, error logs, system activity, and the websites or applications from which you access our Services.

Device Data

We may collect details about the devices you use to access our Services. This may include your IP address, hardware information, operating system details and version, language preferences, unique device identifiers, advertising identifiers, and mobile network information.

Location Information

When using our Services, we and our service providers may gather precise location information (as per your device settings and permissions) and general location information from your computer or mobile device. General location information refers to the city and state identified by your device's IP address. This data helps us provide content tailored to your location (e.g., nearby locations or delivery status). We will request your permission before collecting precise GPS location information. If granted, we may use this precise geolocation data to offer personalized services, content, and other information that may interest you. Please note that precise geolocation information is considered "sensitive personal information" under certain privacy laws, and we process it in accordance with applicable legal requirements. You can disable geolocation tracking on your device. For more information, see the “Your Rights and Choices” section below.

Information from Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers use “cookies” and similar technologies, such as tracking pixels, to understand your navigation and interaction with our Services, to identify popular content, to enhance the Services, to provide a more personalized experience, for authentication and advertising purposes, to save your preferences, and to collect usage, device, and location information as described above. We may also collect this information when you interact with emails or other communications we send.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by web servers to store basic information and help websites and apps recognize your browser. We may use both session cookies (which disappear after you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain and may be accessed each time you use our Services). A Session cookie disappears after closing your browser. Tracking pixels (or web beacons/clear GIFs) are tiny electronic tags embedded in websites, online ads, or emails designed to collect usage information like ad impressions, clicks, and email open rates. They measure the popularity of our Services and associated advertising and access cookies.

We and our vendors (including Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics) use these technologies and the information collected for advertising and data analytics. For more information about Adobe’s practices, visit adobe.com/privacy/experience-cloud.html. For details on Google’s analytics practices, visit google.com/policies/privacy/partners

C. Information We Collect Through Third Parties

We may obtain information about you from various third-party sources, including:

Employers, Business Partners, Service Providers, and Researchers

We collaborate with business partners, service providers (such as payment processors, survey providers, and analytics companies), and researchers who perform services on our behalf. These partners may have access to information about you that we might not have (e.g., when you sign up directly with or engage with them). They may share some or all of this information with us. Additionally, we may receive results from background and identity verification checks.

Log-in Services and Social Network Information

If you access our Services through a third-party connection or log-in (e.g., via a social network), you may grant us access to certain information from your social network profile. This can include your name, profile picture, "likes," and friends list, depending on your settings on these platforms. If you prefer not to share this information, do not use social network log-in options to access our Services. For details on how social networks handle your information, please review their privacy policies and Terms of Use, which may allow you to adjust your privacy settings.

To do this, our technology partners may disclose data such as browsing patterns, geo-location, and device identifiers, and will match the information of the browsers and devices that appear to be used by the same person.

3. Online and Mobile App Advertising

A. Online Advertising

We may permit third-party advertising technologies (e.g., ad networks and ad servers like Google’s ad services, among others) to operate on our Services. These technologies use cookies and similar methods to present relevant and targeted advertisements to you on our Services and other websites or applications you use. The advertisements you see may be based on factors such as the content of the page you are visiting, the information you provide, and your search and browsing activities. These ads can be tailored to your interests, whether based on your current activity or your activity over time and across different websites and online services.

The placement of cookies or other tracking technologies on your devices by non-affiliated third parties is governed by the privacy policies of those third parties. For more information on tailored browser advertising and how to manage cookie settings to prevent tailored advertising, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link. To opt out of Adobe Audience Manager, visit Adobe's opt-out page. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or to customize Google display network ads, visit the Google Ads Settings page. To prevent Google Analytics from using your data for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. To manage your cookie settings and receive notifications when a cookie is being set or updated, or to disable cookies altogether, consult your web browser settings. Note that disabling or deleting cookies from us may result in missing certain features of our Services.

For additional options to opt out of targeted advertising activities under applicable law, refer to the “Your Rights and Choices” section below.

Please be aware that these opt-outs are specific to each browser and device, meaning you will need to opt out on each device and each browser on each device you use to access our Services. Furthermore, these opt-outs do not apply to advertisements in mobile applications. Refer to the “Mobile App Advertising” section below for instructions on how to opt out of mobile app advertising.

B. Mobile App Advertising

We may engage third-party service providers to display ads on other mobile applications or to conduct mobile app analytics based on your interactions with our platform. Each mobile operating system (iOS for Apple devices, Android for Android devices, and Windows for Microsoft devices) offers specific instructions on how to prevent the use of advertising identifiers for personalized in-app advertisements. Since we do not control how each platform operator manages the receipt of tailored in-app advertisements, you should consult the support materials and/or the settings on your device for the respective operating systems to learn how to opt out of the use of your advertising identifiers for personalized advertising.

C. Notice Regarding Do Not Track

Do Not Track ("DNT") is a privacy setting available in some web browsers. While we are dedicated to offering you meaningful choices about the information collected on our website for third-party purposes, as described through various opt-out mechanisms, we do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. To learn more about Do Not Track, please refer to relevant resources. It is important to note that Do Not Track is different from the user "preference signal" mentioned in the "Your Rights and Choices" section below. The preference signal is a browser-based control indicating whether you wish to opt out of the processing of your information for specific purposes, such as the "sale" of your information or the sharing of your information for targeted advertising, as required by applicable laws.

4. How We Share the Information We Collect

We and our service providers share the information we collect from and about you for various business and operational purposes as outlined below:

Employers and Vendors. As a job seeker, we may share your information with employers (or their service providers) when you engage with them or at your request, in accordance with your account settings. For example, if you click "Apply" on a job posting, we may share your details with the relevant employer (or their service provider). Similarly, when you complete a job application, we will share your responses with the pertinent employer (or their service provider). According to your profile settings, we may also share your profile information with employers searching for suitable candidates. Additionally, we may share your information with vendors providing services on behalf of employers, such as background checks, identity verification, or payroll services.

Job Seekers. As an employer, QUICKOB may share your information with job seekers at your request. For instance, if you post a job listing, we may share the relevant details with potential candidates. You may also choose to use our third-party vendor integrations related to employer services, such as background checks or payroll services, and we will share the necessary information at your direction to facilitate those services.

Service Providers. We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf.

For Legal Reasons or Protection of Us and Others. We may disclose your information if required by law or legal process, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to:

(i) Enforce our Terms of Use, this Privacy Policy, or other agreements with you, including investigating potential violations;
(ii) Respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; and/or
(iii) Protect the rights, property, or personal safety of our company, users of our services, or others.

This may involve exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection, spam/malware prevention, and similar purposes.

Business Transfers. In the event of a sale, transfer, merger, reorganization, dissolution, or similar event involving our business (including during negotiations for such transactions), your information may be part of the transferred business assets. If such a transfer is subject to mandatory restrictions under applicable laws, we will comply with those restrictions.

Your Consent. With your consent, including through your account settings, we will share your information in accordance with your consent and account preferences. For example, you may choose whether your profile information is visible to employers on our QUICKOB platform or to the public. Please note that any information included in your public profile can be read, collected, and used by others who access it.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to request certain actions regarding your "personal information" or "personal data" (collectively referred to as "personal information"). These rights may include the ability to:

We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request, which may include verifying your name and email address. In some jurisdictions, you may appoint an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. We may verify the agent's authority through signed permission or a power of attorney and may contact you to confirm the request.

If you wish to appeal a decision we make regarding your request, and if applicable law provides such a right, we will inform you of how to appeal in our response. To appeal, email us at contact@quickob.com.

For personal information collected through Employer Direct Engagements, job seekers should direct their requests to the relevant Employer.

This disclosure may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under applicable law.

To opt out, visit the relevant QuickOB property (e.g., quickob.com, legal.quickob.com, community.quickob.com, or the app) and select "Your Privacy Choices" in the footer. You need to make this choice on each property, browser, and device you use. If you clear your cookies, you will need to renew this choice. You can also submit a request to opt out of using your email and related personal information for targeted advertising by visiting the provided link. In some jurisdictions, you may appoint an authorized agent to submit these requests on your behalf. We do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 without required authorization.

Please be aware that if your device browser has a legally-recognized opt-out preference signal enabled, we will honor this preference in accordance with applicable law.

Privacy Rights for Nevada Residents

Under Nevada law, certain Nevada residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" of "covered information" for monetary consideration. "Covered information" includes your first and last name, address, email address, phone number, Social Security Number, or any identifier that allows contact with you physically or online.

Please email us at contact@quickob.com to make your request.

7. How We Protect Your Data and Services
