4. SMS / Text Messaging Program

Program description. If you opt in, HCRC Inc. will send you customer-care text messages about your inquiries, applications, interviews, scheduling, and related customer-care communications.

How we collect consent. We collect your mobile phone number and your consent when you submit our opt-in form at https://hcrc.us/sms-opt-in/ and check the box agreeing to receive text messages. Providing your phone number alone does not enroll you in text messages, and consent is not a condition of purchase or of receiving any other service from us.

Message frequency. Message frequency varies depending on your interactions with us.

Costs. Message and data rates may apply.

Opt out and help. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message. After you opt out, we will send one confirmation message and no further messages unless you opt in again. For help, reply HELP or contact us at support@hcrc.us or (877) 674-4272.

Carriers. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Mobile information is not shared for marketing. No mobile information, including phone numbers and text messaging opt-in data and consent, will be shared with or sold to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. This information is shared only with service providers that help us deliver text messages on our behalf (for example, our messaging platform provider), and only as needed to provide those messages. All other categories described in this Privacy Policy exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties for their own purposes.

See also our Terms of Service for additional text messaging terms.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only in these situations:

  • Service providers: companies that help us operate the Website and our services, such as hosting, analytics, communications, and messaging providers. They may use your information only to perform services for us.
  • Hiring clients (with your involvement): if you apply for a position or ask us to present you for an opportunity, we may share your application information, such as your resume and qualifications, with the relevant hiring company.
  • Legal and safety reasons: when required by law or valid requests from public authorities, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights or property, prevent or investigate wrongdoing, or protect the safety of users or the public.
  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of company assets. We will give notice before your personal data becomes subject to a different privacy policy. Text messaging opt-in data and consent are not transferred for marketing purposes.
  • With your consent: for any other purpose, with your consent.

The sharing described in this section never includes sharing mobile information with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes (see Section 4).

6. Retention of Your Information

We keep your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes in this Privacy Policy, including to meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Usage data is generally kept for a shorter period unless needed for security, to improve the Website, or required by law. We keep records of text message consent for as long as needed to demonstrate compliance.

7. Your Rights and Choices
