Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights:

To exercise the access and data portability rights described above, please submit a Data Usage Report request, which may be found here.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows iHire to reasonably verify you are the person about whom iHire collected Personal Information or an authorized representative.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows iHire to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
iHire cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if iHire cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with iHire. iHire will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

To exercise your data deletion right, please submit a verifiable consumer request to iHire via:

Response Timing and Format:

iHire will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If iHire requires more time, iHire will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing, which may be extended for up to an additional forty-five (45) days (90 days in total from the date of receipt of your request).

Any disclosures iHire provides will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's date of receipt. The response iHire provides will also explain the reasons iHire cannot comply with a request, if that is the case. For data portability requests, iHire will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

iHire does not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded and unreasonable. If iHire determines that a fee is warranted for your request, iHire will inform you the reasons iHire has warranted such fee and provide you with an estimated cost of such fee prior to completing your request.
