HIREART PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: 5/3/2021
Thank you for your interest in HireArt, Inc. (“HireArt” or “Company”). HireArt is a modern platform for companies to source, hire, employ and manage W-2 contractors. Hiring managers can access a directory of pre-vetted, ready-to-hire candidates for W-2 contract jobs, schedule interviews and extend offers. Standing in as the employer of record, HireArt digitally onboards new hires and is responsible for payroll, time & attendance, benefits administration, and compliance. Using HireArt, candidates can apply not only to specific requisitions for W-2 contract jobs but also build profiles accessible to a broad universe of hiring managers who can engage them about contract jobs they have not applied to. HireArt, in short, helps candidates find the best jobs with ease, and hiring managers cost-effectively hire the best candidates with short fill times and high fill-rates. HireArt values the privacy of those who use our services. The following policy explains our practices surrounding the collection, use, and sharing of the personal information we collect.

describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably
be linked, directly or indirectly, with a natural person.

under the control of third parties. As a result the Company cannot
ensure the security of such systems.
