If you apply for employment through The Arnold Group or submit your resume for future consideration, we use the information you provide to evaluate your qualifications and identify employment opportunities that may be appropriate for your skills and experience.

Providing information does not guarantee employment, placement, or consideration for any specific position.

Where appropriate and permitted by law, we may verify employment history, education, professional licenses, certifications, references, and other qualifications. We may contact current or former employers, references, educational institutions, licensing authorities, or other relevant sources to verify qualifications, employment history, certifications, or other information provided by applicants, where permitted by applicable law.

AI is used solely to assist our employees. AI-generated content or recommendations are reviewed by qualified employees before being relied upon in providing staffing, recruiting, or HR services.

Employment decisions are never made solely through automated processing or artificial intelligence. Qualified employees review applicants, evaluate qualifications, conduct interviews, communicate with candidates and clients, and make all employment-related decisions.

We do not use AI to independently determine an individual’s eligibility for employment, recommend hiring decisions without human review, or make automated employment decisions.

Information processed using AI-assisted tools remains subject to our confidentiality, security, and privacy practices. AI is used to support employee productivity and does not replace human judgment in providing recruiting, staffing, or human resources services.

We will respond to verified requests in accordance with applicable law.

14. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some web browsers offer “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) settings that communicate your privacy preferences to websites. Because there is currently no uniform industry standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, our website may not respond to all DNT browser requests.

Where required by applicable law, we recognize and respond to Global Privacy Control signals.

15. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to websites, applications, or services operated by third parties for your convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of those third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party website before providing personal information.
