PRIVACY STATEMENT
Mica IT Staffing Group is committed to protecting the privacy of our customers, job applicants, and employees and we realize that you have rights related to personal information we collect from you. Accordingly, Mica IT supports national and local privacy laws and we have procedures in place to meet the requirements of those laws.
Below we state our privacy principles, as well as our methods for collecting, storing, and using your personal information. Please review this information so that you may understand and sanction how we might collect, use, and share your personal information. We may not be able to assist you with your employment and staffing requirements unless you provide adequate personal information.
When we collect information, we inform our customers, employees and applicants of how we use it and if it will be transferred to third parties. When possible, we provide details to individuals prior to their providing information, or as soon thereafter as is practical.
Mica IT’s goal in gathering your personal information is to provide you with the most personalized service possible. By knowing more about you, we are able to deliver leading staffing and employment services and, hence, a better service to you.
Generally, personal information is requested when you contact us to seek employment or to find a candidate to fill a job opening. We request applicants to provide their names, addresses, and other personal information such as Social Security identification, work experience, education, and skills. When hiring employees, we may also request personal information that is considered "sensitive."
The amount of personal information you are required to supply will normally be limited to only that which is necessary to supply our services to you.
Employees and Applicants: Mica IT may ask you for your name, e-mail address, or other personal information such as Social Security identification, work experience, education and skills, when you apply using our electronic application or when you sign up for our job-search services or electronic timecard submittal.
Electronic-Timekeeping for Temporary Employees: To allow us to manage payroll for our client service representatives, Mica IT may collect personal data online from our employees. That information could include name, hours, address, and any other personal identification information, including a Social Security number or tax identification number. We use this data to process payroll either through Mica IT’s operations or through an agent of ours. We ensure that our collection and processing adheres to all privacy requirements when collecting timekeeping data manually or electronically.

Personal Data Retention: Personal data that is collected from you will be retained or destroyed according to company requirements and/or local laws.
Data Sharing: We hold our employees, agents, and suppliers accountable for maintaining the confidence our job applicants, employees, and customers place in us. We educate our employees and on occasion confirm our compliance with our privacy and security policies. Mica IT does not sell or trade personal data to third parties. We will disclose personal information when required by law.
In order to provide our services, personal data you give us may be shared with other Mica IT operations that are governed by the same privacy principles and security practices. To provide employment opportunities, we will send the personal data of our applicants and client service representatives to our customers and/or agents.
We sometimes use other companies to provide services for us such as health-care benefits and payroll processing services for our employees.
Sensitive Data - Opt In: When hiring employees, we may collect data often considered "sensitive." This compilation of data is either compatible with employment law or is vital to the interests of the Mica IT employee. In order to comply with laws, rules and regulations regarding equal employment opportunities or to assist us in gathering information for its affirmative action practices, we may also ask for gender or racial information. This provision of this type of information will be voluntary, unless it is required by law, and will not hinder your employment opportunities. When collecting sensitive information, we will ask permission to collect, store, and in some cases, transfer this data to third parties including payroll service companies, health insurance organizations, or government agencies as required by law. Mica IT takes all reasonable security measures to protect the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data collected, stored, and used.
Security
Mica IT protects the personal information provided to us by our customers, employees and job applicants through various security measures. This is to prevent any loss, alternation, misuse, unauthorized access, destruction or disclosure of that information. For security purposes, we store personal information in manual or electronic systems with limited access.
Questions and Concerns
Mica IT endeavors to respond to the privacy questions of our job applicants, customers and employees promptly. We also attempt to resolve disputes swiftly and satisfactorily, by involving senior management when questions and disputes occur. We abide by the "Safe Harbor" framework developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce. We will fully cooperate with the Federal Trade Commission or local data protection authorities when requested to do so.
