How We Use and Disclose Personally Identifying Information
In order to present you as a potential candidate to potential employers (Sheridan Evans clients), your personal information may be shared with clients, although if it is for the purposes of completing a particular assignment, we will get your permission and agreement to go forward as a candidate in advance.

We reserve the right to disclose Personal Information to third party subcontractors, including information technology providers, business process outsourcing providers and research partners, in order to help support our business operations.

We maintain Personal Information in our proprietary database.
