Privacy Policy

I. Information We Collect

The personal information the company may request includes:

  • Name

  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Employer/company
  • Region
  • Information relating to educational and professional experience, curriculum vitae (CV), and references
  • Recruiting information required by applicable law

FSC Edge may also take the personal information received from individuals responding to its surveys, remove any personally identifying information, such as names and phone numbers, to create anonymous profiles (“profiles”), and combine (or aggregate) it with the other profiles. These combined profiles may contain information about the gender, age, education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic information of its customers, which FSC Edge uses to improve the quality of its services and to develop new services and products. These combined profiles may be shared with third parties.

If individuals seek to apply for employment via the website, they are redirected to a third-party provider, Clear Company. The application process will be governed by Clear Company’s privacy policy posted at www.clearcompany.com/privacy-policy. Any application data shared with Clear Company may be shared with FSC Edge to consider the application.

When individuals browse the website, FSC Edge also automatically collects and aggregates other information about the person using cookies, tracking pixels, and related tracking technologies. These tracking technologies may be implemented and placed by FSC Edge or by third-party vendors on FSC Edge’s behalf (for example, information about how many web pages were used, what hyperlinks were clicked, access times and number of visits). This information is anonymous and used for internal analysis only.

FSC Edge uses Google Analytics to collect and process information about an individual’s use of the website. Google sets cookies on a person’s browser or device, and the web browser then automatically sends information to Google. Google uses this information to provide FSC Edge with reports to help the company understand and measure how users interact with the website.

To learn more about how Google uses data, visit Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s page on “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.” Individuals can download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each web browser, but this does not prevent the use of other analytics tools. To learn more about Google Analytics cookies, visit Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites.

II. Cookie Policy

Cookies are small data files stored on a hard drive by the website. Cookies do many different jobs, such as letting individuals navigate between pages efficiently, remembering preferences, and generally improving the user experience.

Cookies Used on FSC Edge Websites

FSC Edge uses the following cookies on its websites:

  • Session cookies, which are essential to enable users to move around FSC Edge’s website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website.
  • Performance cookies, which allow the company to see which areas and features are popular and to count visits to its websites. These cookies do not collect information that identifies an individual visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how the website works.
  • Functionality cookies, which allow the website to remember choices an individual makes (such as language or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features to improve an individual’s experience. These cookies are required for basic site functionality and therefore are always enabled. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track browsing activity on other websites.
  • Targeting cookies, which are used for web analytics purposes. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

Managing Cookies

Most website browsers automatically accept cookies, but an individual can change their browser settings. If a person chooses to disable the receipt of cookies from FSC Edge’s website, they may not be able to use certain features of the site. Visit Cookie Policy to learn about how to delete and control cookies using the mail browser types.

FSC Edge may also collect information by periodically conducting business and individual customer surveys. These surveys help the company to improve the types of products and services offered and how it provides them.

Do Not Track

Because FSC Edge automatically places and processes cookies and other tracking technologies, it currently does not honor “Do Not Track” requests.

Under the Onward Transfer Principle, FSC Edge remains responsible for any of personal information that is shared on its behalf with third parties acting as its agents for external processing as described in Disclosure above.

Under certain conditions, more fully described on the Privacy Shield website, an individual may invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted.

How to Exercise Your Rights of Access and Deletion. To exercise your California rights described in this section, you may submit your request by emailing privacy@FSC Edgesolution.com.

Who May Exercise Your Right to Know, Access and Deletion. You may make a request to exercise the above rights to know, access and deletion on behalf of yourself or on behalf of a child if you are a parent or legal guardian of the child. In addition, you may authorize an agent to exercise these rights on your behalf, if you provide the agent with written permission and, if the agent is a business, the agent is registered with the California Secretary of State. If an authorized agent contacts FSC Edge to exercise the above rights, it will need to verify their identity as well as your identity. It will also require proof of your written authorization to the agent both to act as your agent and to submit the particular request to FSC Edge, unless the agent is subject to a Power of Attorney under California probate laws.

Verification of Your Request to Know, Access and Deletion. After FSC Edge receives your request, it will contact you to confirm receipt of your request. In addition, it may contact you to provide additional information to allow the company to verify your identity based on the personal information in its systems. In order to verify your request, you must provide sufficient information that allows FSC Edge to reasonably verify you are the person that is the subject of the personal information you have requested. This information may vary depending on the personal information FSC Edge already has. Certain types of requests may require additional verification to ensure you are who you say you are. If you have used an agent to make your request, FSC Edge will also need to verify the identity of the agent. Verification of your request may require you, or your agent if applicable, to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury verifying identity. FSC Edge may deny your request as permitted by law, if it is unable to verify your identity, or if an agent makes the request on your behalf, if FSC Edge is unable to verify their identity or proof of their authorization.

When We Will Respond to Your Request to Know, Access and Deletion. FSC Edge will confirm receipt of your request within 10 business days. It will try to respond to your request within 45 calendar days. If it requires additional time to respond, FSC Edge will inform you of the reason and may take an additional 45 calendar days to respond.

FSC Edge may charge a fee to process or respond to your request if it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.
