Information Automatically Collected
Like most business websites, our website automatically collects limited technical and usage information to help us operate, maintain, improve, and secure the Website.
This information may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, date and time of your visit, referring website, and general website activity. This information is generally collected in an aggregated or statistical manner and is not intended to personally identify individual visitors except where reasonably necessary for security, legal, or operational purposes.
Employment Information
If you apply for employment through our website, we may collect information you choose to provide in connection with an application, including name, contact information, employment history, qualifications, education, certifications, licenses, references, resume or application materials and other information related to your candidacy.
Employment information is used only for recruiting, evaluating qualifications, communicating with applicants, considering candidates for employment opportunities, considering lawful pre-employment screening where applicable, and complying with applicable legal obligations. Horst Excavating does not use applicant information for unrelated marketing purposes and submission of employment information does not create an employment contract or guarantee employment.
Employment and applicant information may be shared with service providers that assist with recruiting, application management, background screening, information technology, legal compliance, or related business operations, but only as reasonably necessary for those purposes and subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection expectations. We retain applicant and employment-related records only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, for legitimate business needs, and as required or permitted by federal, Pennsylvania, and local law.
