Vetty is committed to keeping personal information private. This privacy policy describes Vetty’s collection, protection, use, and disclosure of information about Consumers (defined as candidates and employees undergoing Vetty screening) and visitors. It also explains the privacy practices we use when we prepare consumer reports (also called “investigative consumer reports” in California).
This privacy policy also explains how and why we use cookies and similar technologies, how Consumers can view or delete their information on Vetty, and other privacy-related topics.
Please read this privacy policy carefully. By using Vetty or by clicking “I Agree” in our Candidate Portal, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to this privacy policy. If you have any questions, you can reach us at support@vetty.co. If you do not agree to any part of it, please do not use or register with Vetty.
Vetty collects information about Consumers from the Consumers themselves, our customers, and third parties. Our customers are current and prospective employees, online marketplaces, and other digital businesses. The information we collect may include identifiers, public records, database records, electronic network activity, employment records, education records, occupational health records, and other types of information commonly collected for employment-related screening.
Vetty may also collect electronic network activity information from Consumers when they visit our site so that we can, for example, identify them and improve their use of our site.
We collect this information because employers hire us to conduct employment-related screening on Consumers. We also collect this information to communicate with Consumers about their screening. Finally, we collect some of this information to protect Vetty and its customers against illegal activities.
Vetty may collect electronic record activity information, including cookies, from visitors to our site to analyze usage of our site and identify unique visitors. We may also ask visitors for their contact information and for information about their businesses if they are interested in doing business with Vetty.
Vetty employs physical, procedural, and technical measures designed to secure the information we collect from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Our technical measures include encryption, two-factor authentication, penetration testing, and more. However, no security measures are infallible, so we cannot absolutely guarantee the security of personal information.
Vetty retains and destroys Consumers’ information as required by law and industry standards. To request to have your information deleted from our systems, email support@vetty.co.
Vetty discloses a Consumer’s information to the specific customer who has hired Vetty to conduct employment-related screening on the Consumer. We may also disclose information about a Consumer to identify them to information providers such as DMVs, courts, and contractors who help us gather screening information. Those information providers are required, by contract and by law, to keep the information we disclose confidential and to use it only for the purpose for which it is intended.
We make the disclosures described above only after obtaining permission from the Consumer within our Candidate Portal. Vetty does not disclose Consumers’ information to any third party for marketing purposes.
In the unlikely event that a government entity or third party seeks or requires a Consumer’s information from Vetty, we will notify the Consumer to the extent allowed by law.
Vetty may disclose aggregated, anonymized data relating to Consumers and site visitors as needed for the operation of our business.
Personal Information Disclosure: United States or Overseas. Vetty operates internationally and may send Consumers’ information to Vetty employees or contractors in other countries for processing. We employ the same strong security measures at all of our locations and while data is in transit.
