What is our legal basis to process your information? (European individuals only)

If you are located in the European Union or the United Kingdom, we need a legal basis to collect, use and disclose your Personal Data. Our legal basis for collecting, using and disclosing your information will depend on the information concerned and the context in which it is processed.

Users and Sourcers:

We may process your Personal Data in order to perform a contract with you (such as to register and maintain your account and process your payment information). In other circumstances, we may process your information where the processing is in our legitimate interests (such as to communicate with you about news and information relating to our services, monitor and analyze usage trends, and personalize and improve our services).

When required, we will process your Personal Data only where we have your consent to do so (for example, if we need to collect and process any sensitive Personal Data about you). In limited cases, it may be necessary for us to process your information to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject (such as to share your information with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency where disclosure is required by law, or to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights).

Professionals:

We will usually process your information where the processing is in our legitimate interests (such as when we share certain information about you with our Clients or when we contact you on behalf of our Clients to tell you about a job opportunity that may be of interest to you). We only share your contact information with our Clients where we have your consent to do so.

In limited cases, it may be necessary for us to process your information to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject (such as to share your information with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency where disclosure is required by law, or to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights).

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your information, please contact us at media@nchs.org.

Cookies and similar tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and use Personal Data about you on our website and through the services. Specifically, the information we collect automatically may include information like your IP address, device type, unique device identification numbers, browser-type, broad geographic location (e.g. country or city-level location) and other technical information. We may also collect information about how you have interacted with our website and services, including the pages accessed and links clicked, session duration, non-sensitive text entered, and mouse movements. Collecting this information enables us to better understand how people are using our website and services and we use the information for our internal analytics purposes to improve the quality and relevance of our services.

Google Analytics: We may use cookies served by Google Analytics to collect limited data directly from you to enable us to better understand your use of our website, including making use of the demographics and interests reports services of Google Analytics. Further information on how Google collects and uses this data can be found at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt-out of all Google supported analytics within the services by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Posthog: We may use Posthog to record and collect certain information about how you’re using the services. This allows us to see what you’re doing so that we can give you accurate and helpful assistance and to generate useful analytics. You can opt-out of all Posthog supported tracking within the services by login to Nebraska Children’s Home Society, and disable the tracking in your privacy settings.

International data transfers

Your Personal Data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are located. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective).

Specifically, Nebraska Children’s Home Society is headquartered in the United States and our servers are located in Oregon. Our third party service providers and partners also operate in the United States and in Europe. This means that when we collect your Personal Data we may process it in any of these countries.

However, we’ve taken appropriate safeguards to require that your Personal Data will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable data protection laws. If you are located in the EEA, United Kingdom or Switzerland these measures include transferring your information to a country that the European Commission or UK authorities (as applicable) have determined provides an adequate level of protection for Personal Data, or by implementing standard contractual clauses with our Clients, third party service providers and partners. Where appropriate, we also use additional safeguards to ensure that your information remains protected in accordance with applicable law.

Data retention

We retain Personal Data we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Data, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Specifically, when reaching out to a Data Subject (prospective employee who may be interested in participating is a given recruitment process) and while observing the ruling under article 14 of the GDPR, Nebraska Children’s Home Society will erase the gathered data within 28 days of its collection if there has been no feedback from the Data Subject.

Your privacy rights

Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws, you may have certain rights with regard to the Personal Data we control about you.

If you wish to access, correct, update or request deletion of your Personal Data, you can do so at any time by emailing us at media@nchs.org.
In addition, if you are located in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you can object to processing of your Personal Data, ask us to restrict processing of your Personal Data or request portability of your Personal Data. Again, you can exercise these rights by emailing us at media@nchs.org.
You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time. You can exercise this right by clicking on the “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link in the marketing e-mails we send you. To opt-out of other forms of marketing (such as postal marketing or telemarketing), then please contact us by email at media@nchs.org.
Similarly, if we have collected and process your Personal Data with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your Personal Data conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent. Again, to withdraw your consent please contact us by email at media@nchs.org.

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Finally, you may also have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your Personal Data. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority. Contact details for data protection authorities in the European Economic Area, Switzerland and certain non-European countries (including the US and Canada) are available here.

Additional information for California residents

If you are a California resident, the following information also applies to you and supplements the information contained elsewhere in this Privacy Notice.

Information we collect and sources of information

Our Privacy Notice already describes the information we collect about Users, Professionals and Sourcers and the sources of information. This section organizes that information around the Personal Data categories set out in the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

In the past 12 months, we have collected the following information from the following sources:

Identifiers, such as your name, company, job title, email address, Internet Protocol address, unique personal identifier, account username, third party account names and other online identifiers. We obtain this information when you provide it to us or otherwise automatically in the course of your interactions with our services.

We obtain this information automatically in the course of your interactions with our services.
Commercial information, such as records of services purchased. We obtain this information directly from you or otherwise automatically in the course of your interactions with our services.
Geo-location data, such as your general location information (based on your IP address). We obtain this information when you provide it to us or otherwise automatically in the course of your interactions with our Services.
Electronic and visual information, such as chat messages and any interactions that you may have with us (such as for customer service purposes), photographs, and feedback or testimonials you provide about our services. We obtain this information when you provide it to us or otherwise automatically in the course of your interactions with our services.
Professional or employment-related information, such as job title, employment type, seniority, employer, company industry and CV. We obtain this information about Professionals on behalf of our Clients in order to provide our services to them.

We collect Personal Data directly from you, automatically from your use of our services and from certain third parties (for example, when you log into our services using a third party account) as described in the section “What Personal Data do we collect?” above.

How we use and share information

We collect and use Personal Data for the business and commercial purposes as described in the section “How do we use your Personal Data?” above. Nebraska Children’s Home Society does not share your Personal Data except as approved by you or as otherwise described in this Privacy Notice.

In the preceding 12 months, we have disclosed the categories of Personal Data described above for the business purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

The CCPA gives California residents the right to opt out of the “sale” of their Personal Data. This term is defined broadly and may apply to our sharing of Personal Data about Professionals with our Clients. If you are a Professional, we may have “sold” the following categories of Personal Data about you in the preceding 12 months:

Identifiers, such as those set out under the heading “Information about Professionals” above;
Professional or employment-related information, such as job title, employment type, seniority, employer, company industry and CV;

If you are a California resident, you may opt out of such sharing with our Clients as explained below. Please understand that this could result in fewer career opportunities for you.

We do not sell Personal Data about our Users or Sourcers and do not knowingly sell Personal Data about California residents under the age of 16.

Your privacy rights

Under the CCPA, California residents have the following rights:

You have the right to know the Personal Data that we have collected, disclosed and sold over the past 12 months, and information about our data practices.
You have the right to request deletion of your Personal Data that we have collected from you.
You have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights under the CCPA. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your Personal Data.

California law also permits you to request certain information regarding the disclosure of your Personal Data by us to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.

To exercise any of the above rights, or if you are an agent authorized to exercise a right under the CCPA, please contact us by email at media@nchs.org. Please note that to protect your information, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request. In some cases, we may need to collect additional information to verify your identity, such as a government issued ID.

Under the CCPA, you may exercise these rights yourself or you may designate an authorized agent to make these requests on your behalf. We may request that your authorized agent have written permission from you to make requests on your behalf and may need to verify your authorized agent’s identity.

Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret Do Not Track signals, we do not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals. However, you are able to opt-out of the use of tracking technologies as explained in the section “Cookies and similar tracking technologies” above.
