Cadient Website Privacy Policy

Effective date: January 1, 2023

This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) explains how Cadient, LLC (“us,” “our,” or “we”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information that we collect (i) from users of our website, https://cadienttalent.com/ and any other websites and online services that we operate and that include a link to this Policy (collectively, the “Websites”); and (ii) from authorized users of business organizations that have contracted with us (our “Customers”) to use our web-based applicant tracking system and other software applications (the “Applications”), for example, hiring managers and human resources staff of one of our Customers to whom the Customer provides access to the Applications.   
The products and services that we provide to our Customers, including the Applications, may cause us to receive, collect, use, disclose, or otherwise process personal information relating to other individuals on behalf of and at the direction of those Customers, such as information related to job applicants that use the Applications to submit applications for employment with our Customers, and new hires of those Customers that submit their personal information through our Applications as part of our Customers’ onboarding processes.   That information is not subject to this Policy.  Instead, we process that information at the direction of, and pursuant to our agreements with, those Customers.  Under those agreements, we act as a service provider to our Customers, and they determine the purposes and means of the processing of that information.  For more information about how we collect and use that information, please see the Services Privacy Notice that we make available within the Applications.  If you have further questions about the handling of personal information that our Customers process using our Applications, please contact the relevant Customer directly.
