Protecting Personal information

Personally identifiable information is stored on a separate server as a security precaution and our site is SSL encrypted.

All user information is restricted by administrative logins to the Hirelink platform or access to our private API and controlled by the corporate office. Only administrators who have permission are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees are kept up-to-date on security and privacy practices. Additionally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment that can only be accessed with a secure login.

Data collected by our site or services is stored and hosted by Google AppEngine. Here is a link that shows all the security certificates associated with our hosting and storage of data: https://cloud.google.com/security/compliance/

When operating the Hirelink browser extension, the executable code within the extension makes web service calls to the Hirelink System API over HTTPS (SSL) connection using TLS 1.2 and password. The data collected or retrieved is not stored within the browser, the browser extension, or on the local system of the user.
