Introduction
We care about privacy and know that you do, too.
Checkr Onboard ("Checkr Onboard", "we", "us" and/or "our") is a fully programmable onboarding solution for companies (“Customer”) to onboard and convert candidates (“Candidates”) at speed, scale, and delightfulness.
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how we collect, use, share, and protect your Personal Data (“Personal Data”) when you access our website (the “Site”) or other services (collectively, the “Services”).
This Policy does not apply to any third party applications or software that integrate with the Services through the Checkr Onboard platform (“Third Party Services”), which are governed by their respective privacy policies.
Checkr Onboard as service Provider
If you access our Services through a Customer, Checkr Onboard acts as a “service provider” or “processor” that processes your Personal Data only according to our Customers’ instructions as a “business” or “controller” and this Policy does not apply. Please review the relevant Customer’s policies to learn more about their practices, including their use of service providers like Checkr Onboard. If you are a Candidate and have questions or want to exercise any of your rights regarding your Personal Data, you should direct your inquiry to the relevant Checkr Onboard Customer. If you contact Checkr Onboard directly for these purposes, we are required to inform the relevant Checkr Onboard Customer (if we can identify them from the contact details you provided).
