Under the CCPA, children under the age of 16 have the right to opt-in to the sale of their personal information, however because our websites and services are not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 16, we do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

  • Opt-out of sales. If we sell your Personal Information, you can opt-out.  In addition, if you direct us not to sell your Personal Information, we will consider it a request pursuant to California’s “Shine the Light” law to stop sharing your personal information covered by that law with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

  • You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination.

How to exercise your rights

You may exercise your California privacy rights described above as follows:

Right to information, access and deletion. You can request to exercise your information, access and deletion rights by emailing info@scgcsearch.com

Right to opt-out of the “sale” of your Personal Information.  We do not sell your Personal Information in the conventional sense (i.e., for money). However, as part of our service, we may share your Personal Information with our current or prospective clients that use the Service. California law classifies our sharing of your Personal Information as a “sale” of your Personal Information. This is because we allow them to use your Personal Information for their own purposes to evaluate you as a candidate for employment. You can request to opt-out of this “sale” of your personal information here: Do Not Sell My Personal Information.

We will need to confirm your identity and California residency to process your requests to exercise your information, access or deletion rights. We cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to understand and respond to it.
