Candidate and Professional Information

Professionals may voluntarily provide information about their experience, qualifications, career interests, and employment preferences.

Providing information to San Diego Coastal Talent does not guarantee consideration for, referral to, or placement in any employment opportunity.

We may contact professionals regarding opportunities that we believe could be relevant based on the information available to us.

When appropriate as part of recruiting services, professional information may be shared with prospective employers or clients for legitimate recruiting and hiring purposes. We seek to handle candidate information thoughtfully and do not sell candidate resumes or personal information.

Candidates should not submit highly sensitive personal information—such as Social Security numbers, banking information, passwords, or similar information—through our website or general contact forms.

Client and Business Information

Businesses may provide information regarding hiring plans, open positions, organizational needs, or recruiting challenges.

We use this information to evaluate potential services, provide recruiting or consulting support, communicate with clients and prospective clients, and develop relevant recommendations.

Service Providers

We use third-party technology providers to operate our business and website. These may include website hosting, scheduling, email, forms, analytics, and other business technology providers.

These providers may process information as necessary to provide their services to us.

Our website is hosted by Squarespace. We may also use Microsoft services for business communications, forms, and related business functions.

Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. Other cookies may help us understand website traffic and how visitors interact with the site.

We may use Squarespace analytics and related website functionality to understand site activity and improve the visitor experience.

Third-party services or integrations used on our website may also collect information according to their own privacy practices.

Do Not Track and Similar Signals

Web browsers and devices may provide privacy controls or signals regarding online tracking. Because standards and technologies continue to evolve, our website may not respond to every browser-based “Do Not Track” signal.

Where supported by our website platform and applicable law, we use available privacy and cookie controls to manage non-essential tracking technologies.

Selling Personal Information

San Diego Coastal Talent does not sell personal information in exchange for money.

We do not operate a data brokerage business and do not sell candidate or client information as a business service.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including maintaining professional relationships, providing recruiting or consulting services, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

Because recruiting relationships may continue over time, professional information may be retained so that we can contact individuals regarding future opportunities unless they request otherwise.

  • Request that information be corrected or updated

  • Ask us to delete information, where appropriate
