Welcome to ATI Solutions, Inc. If you have received this Candidate Privacy Information Statement ('Privacy Statement') from us, you are currently listed as or may be about to become listed as a candidate within our candidate database.

We are a human resources service provider (described in more detail below), and, as you may expect, to properly perform our services, we collect and use information about you. We want to be transparent about this.

We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy, and this Privacy Statement describes, among other things, the types of information that we collect about you in the performance of our business, how we use such information, and your privacy rights in relation to the information about you that we handle. Please read this Privacy Statement carefully. There is an index below so you can go straight to the relevant sections if you prefer.

Please note that if you are accessing our website, you should also review our Terms of Use, Cookie Policy, and General Privacy Policy applicable to our website available at www.atisolutionsinc.com.

Some Terms to Be Clear About and General Information

We need to be clear about how we use some words in this Privacy Statement.

It may seem obvious, but in this Privacy Statement, you will be referred to as ‘you’.

When we use ‘us,’ ‘we,’ ‘our,’ or the ‘Company,’ we mean ATI Solutions, Inc.

When we refer to a candidate portal (‘Candidate Portal’) or app (‘App’) herein, we mean a portal or app for our candidates that may be used to leverage our services. When available and utilized, the Candidate Portal or App allows you to create a candidate profile and/or search and apply for jobs we post which may match your interests, skills, preferences, and/or experience.

Keep in mind this Privacy Statement is about information about people. Such information identifies or relates to you and includes facts about you and opinions about you that you hold (“I’m a football fan,” for example). This type of information is sometimes called ‘Personal Information,’ ‘Personal Data,’ ‘Personally Identifiable Information,’ or ‘PII’. We use the term ‘Personal Information’ in this Privacy Statement. This Privacy Statement is not about information about the Company (although sometimes the two overlap).

Do We Collect and Use Sensitive Personal Information?

As a candidate, you are not required to submit information that may be considered sensitive, including details about your race or ethnic origin, or data concerning your health or sexual orientation. If, however, you decide to provide us with sensitive Personal Information voluntarily, please be aware that we will handle this information in accordance with the practices identified in this Privacy Statement and applicable law. Additionally, we reserve the right to delete such sensitive information from our databases if necessary.

As part of the candidate assessment process, you may be asked about your willingness to complete a drug or background screening or undergo a medical examination. We may also inquire if you require any accommodations in the workplace to ensure that your specific needs and preferences are taken into consideration.

How Do We Obtain Your Personal Information?

We often collect Personal Information directly from you.

These details are described in further detail above.

In addition to direct collection from you, we also obtain Personal Information about you from third parties.
