Privacy Policy

McKent Staffing LLC ("McKent", "we", "our", or "us") operates McKent, a United States healthcare jobs and hiring platform available at mckent.net and related McKent websites and online services. McKent provides a technology platform that allows healthcare professionals to discover jobs and allows employers to post jobs, review applications, search candidate profiles where permitted, and manage hiring workflows.

This Privacy Policy describes how McKent collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when people use public McKent pages, candidate accounts, employer accounts, job search, applications, resume and profile tools, employer hiring tools, and communications on the platform.

McKent is not a healthcare provider, is not an employer of record for candidates merely because they use the platform, and does not make final hiring decisions for employers. Employment relationships, if any, are between the employer and the candidate.

McKent processes personal information in accordance with applicable privacy and data-protection laws. This Policy is a description of our practices, not a certification of compliance with any particular statute.

We may collect personal information that you or your organization provide, that is generated through use of the platform, or that we receive from service providers or authentication providers. Not every field is required, and the information we collect depends on how you use McKent. Categories may include the following, where applicable.

Candidate and account information may include: name; email address; phone number; account and authentication information (including a hashed password and, if you sign in with a third-party provider, identifiers and basic account details that provider shares with us); profile information; resume files; employment history; education; skills; professional licenses; certifications and credentials; healthcare role or specialty; work preferences; job applications; application status; saved jobs; messages; and interview-related information you or an employer enter on the platform.

Employer and account information may include: name; work email; company information; company profile; hiring preferences; job postings; applicant-management activity; billing and plan information associated with paid employer services; and team or account information.

Usage and device information may include: pages and features used; search queries; application and hiring-workflow activity; IP address; browser and device type; operating system; and cookie or similar identifiers.

Communications may include: in-app messages between candidates and employers; support requests; and related notifications.

We may also generate inferred or derived information, such as parsed resume fields, match or ranking scores, and similar assistance described in the AI section below.

We do not collect patient medical records or protected health information as part of providing the jobs platform. Using McKent to recruit for healthcare roles does not, by itself, mean McKent is a healthcare provider or that this Policy describes a clinical-data workflow.

McKent supports location-based and radius/geospatial search. Where applicable, we may collect or derive:

• City, state, and postal code • Location preferences you enter for job search or hiring tools • Approximate location inferred from IP address • Latitude/longitude or other geographic coordinates when you provide them or when they are derived to operate location functionality

Location information may be used to support location-based job search, employer candidate search, radius or geospatial search, and showing nearby or relevant opportunities.

McKent does not continuously track a person's physical location, and this Policy does not describe background GPS tracking. Location features depend on information you provide, information associated with a job or profile, and approximate network-derived signals—not live device tracking.

We may use personal information to:

• Create, maintain, and secure accounts • Provide job search, job posting, applications, messaging, and hiring-workflow tools • Operate location and radius search • Parse resumes, organize profile information, and assist with skills or experience extraction • Generate assistive job/candidate match scores, ranking, and recommendations • Assist with job-description drafting where that feature is available • Send service, security, and account communications • Send job-related or hiring-related notifications • Send marketing or promotional communications where permitted, including with consent where required • Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, spam, abuse, and security incidents • Analyze usage to operate and improve the platform • Process employer payments through third-party processors • Comply with law and enforce our Terms of Service

McKent may use automated and AI-assisted systems for resume parsing, extracting profile information, organizing skills and experience, job/candidate match scoring, ranking or recommendation assistance, and job-description assistance where relevant. AI-generated scores and recommendations are assistive. They are not guarantees of qualification, employment, or hiring outcome. McKent does not make final employer hiring decisions solely through an AI match score. McKent does not claim perfect matching, guaranteed accuracy, fully automated hiring, or independent credential verification unless a separately identified feature expressly provides verification.

Employers may receive candidate information when a candidate applies to their job; when candidate profile visibility settings permit employer discovery; when employer resume-search or access features permit viewing profile information; or when an employer has access to contact information under the applicable McKent product or workflow.

Information accessible in those situations may include profile details, resume, work history, skills, licenses or certifications, application information, and contact information where permitted. Not every employer automatically sees every candidate's phone number or email address. Access depends on applications, visibility settings, and the features included in the employer's plan or workflow.

Candidates may see employer and job information that employers publish, including company profile details and job postings.

Service providers. We use companies that help us operate McKent, including for cloud hosting, database and authentication, email delivery, payments, analytics, AI/model processing, customer support, and integrations. These providers may process personal information only to provide contracted services, subject to applicable agreements and law. We do not claim that every provider is located in the United States.

Legal and safety. We may disclose information if we believe it is required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or security of McKent, our users, or others.

Business transfers. If McKent is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

Aggregated or de-identified information. We may use or share information that is aggregated or not reasonably identifiable, where permitted by law.

Sale of personal information. McKent does not sell personal information for money. Some U.S. privacy laws define "sale" or "sharing" more broadly than an exchange for money. This Policy does not certify how those statutory definitions apply to every disclosure, including service-provider, analytics, or similar processing. For questions, email austin@mckent.net.

We may send:

• Account and service emails, including verification and password-reset messages • Application, hiring, interview, and other job-related notifications • In-app messages between employers and candidates • Platform notices about Terms, this Policy, or service changes • Marketing or promotional communications about McKent jobs, hiring tools, or updates, where used and where permitted

Where allowed by law, we may continue to send required service and account communications even if you opt out of marketing or promotional messages. You can typically unsubscribe from promotional email using the link in those messages or by contacting us. We do not promise a particular frequency of communications.

Some McKent services for employers are paid. Current public plan concepts include free candidate access, Employer Pro, and Enterprise or other custom offerings. Plan names, features, and prices are described on the Pricing page or at checkout and are not restated as prices in this Policy.

Employer paid services may involve third-party payment processors. Payment-card details, if collected, are typically handled by the processor. McKent does not store full payment-card numbers when the processor handles them. This Policy does not claim PCI certification.

McKent uses service providers to help operate the platform. Categories may include cloud hosting, database and authentication, email delivery, payments, analytics, AI/model processing, customer support, and integrations.

Providers may process information only as needed to provide their contracted services, subject to applicable agreements and law. Providers and authorized operations may be located in the United States or other countries. We do not claim that every provider is U.S.-based.

McKent is a United States healthcare jobs platform. That customer-market focus does not mean information is processed only in the United States.

McKent and its service providers may process information in the United States and other countries where service providers or authorized operations are located. Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws where you live.

Where required by applicable law, McKent uses appropriate safeguards for international transfers. This Policy does not name a specific transfer contract or claim that servers are located in any particular foreign country.

We may retain personal information while an account is active; as needed to provide the services; for legitimate business purposes such as security, audit, and product improvement; to meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations; to resolve disputes; to enforce agreements; and to protect against fraud or abuse.

When information is no longer needed for these purposes, we may delete, de-identify, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with our practices and applicable law. Residual copies may remain in backups or logs for a limited period until those systems are refreshed.

If you apply to an employer or an employer is otherwise permitted to access your information, that employer may keep a copy in its own records. McKent does not control an employer's independent retention of information it lawfully received.

We do not guarantee that every copy of information is removed from all systems by a fixed calendar deadline.

McKent uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. Where we store account passwords, we store them in hashed form rather than as recoverable plaintext.

No method of internet transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or stored on the platform.

This Policy does not claim HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI, or similar certification.

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Maintain your session and keep you logged in (strictly necessary) • Remember preferences and settings (functional) • Understand how the platform is used (analytics), where enabled and, where required, with consent

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect platform functionality.

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, and in some cases obtain a copy of your information or object to certain uses.

Requests may be subject to identity verification, legal exceptions, and retention requirements. We may decline a request where the law allows, including where we cannot verify your identity or where we must keep information for legal, security, or operational reasons.

Residents of certain U.S. states, including California where applicable, may have additional rights under state law. McKent does not state in this Policy that it is subject to, or exempt from, any particular state statute, and this Policy is not a CCPA, CPRA, or similar compliance certification.

If other privacy laws apply to you because of where you live or how you use the platform, we will honor rights those laws require to the extent they apply. This Policy does not treat any single foreign privacy statute as the primary framework for McKent.

To make a request, email austin@mckent.net. We will respond as required by applicable law.

McKent is not directed to children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 16, we will take steps to delete it. Contact austin@mckent.net if you believe we have inadvertently collected information about a child under 16.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email (at the address on your account) and by displaying a notice on the platform at least 14 days before the changes take effect, where reasonably practicable. Continued use of the platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy, except where applicable law requires additional consent.
