Welcome to Hygiene Staffing! The Hygiene Staffing website and service are provided by Hygiene Staffing, LLC (“Hygiene Staffing,” “we,” “us” or “our”). Hygiene Staffing knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our Privacy Policy for the Hygiene Staffing website and the services made available by Hygiene Staffing through that website or through downloadable applications we make available to you (collectively, the “Website”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning set forth in our Terms of Service available during registration. The Website provides a matching service so that Professionals seeking the opportunity to deliver professional services as an independent contractor can more easily find professional Offices that are looking for Professionals for temporary work Assignments. If you have questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, you should contact Hygiene Staffing’s privacy contact by emailing us [hygienestaffingllc@gmail.com].
This Privacy Policy covers only information that is collected through the Website and does not cover websites to which we link.
Our primary purpose in collecting and using Personal Information (as defined below) is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience in connection with our Website and Services. This allows us to provide services and features that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our service to make your experience safer and easier. We only collect Personal Information about you that we consider necessary for achieving this purpose. As used herein, “Personal Information” means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as name and address, e-mail address, telephone number, date of birth, social security numbers, recent photographs, billing information, professional licensure status and the results of any background check) or other information about that individual that is directly linked to Personal Information. Personal Information does not include “aggregate” information, which is non-personally identifiable data we collect about the use of our Website and our Services. Personal Information includes information displayed in your Profile on our Website. While you have to use certain Personal Information for your Profile, your Profile is not displayed to the public apart from other Users. However, any information you choose to share in your Profile can be accessed by all other Users, and we cannot control how such Users may use such information.
In general, you can browse the Website without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself. We collect and store information, including Personal Information, that is voluntarily supplied to us by you when registering for the Website. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but by doing so, you may not be able to take advantage of many of our features and functionality. We use Personal Information to deliver the Website to you, to improve our Services, including advertising, and to develop analytics and aggregated data that allows us and affiliates of our website (such as our advertisers) to use our Website. During registration, you are required to give truthful contact information (such as name and email address) in accordance with our Terms of Service available during registration. Once you give us your Personal Information, you are no longer anonymous to us.
When you activate an account, we collect information such as your name, email address, social security number, password, and security questions and answers.
We automatically track certain information based upon your use of the Website. We use this information to do internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behaviour to better understand, protect and serve you and our community.
By using our website or our services, you indicate your consent for Hygiene Staffing and our affiliates to send cookies to your computer in order to uniquely identify your browser and improve the quality of our services; you may turn off cookies in your browser though, in doing so, some or all of our Services may not work. For a description of how cookies work, please see the section entitled “Cookies” below.
Like many websites, we may automatically gather certain information about our website traffic and store it in log files. This information includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We may use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyse trends, to administer the Website, to track users’ movements around the Website and to gather demographic information about our user base.
We do not link this automatically collected data to Personal Information.
We may use a third-party tracking service that uses log files and cookies, see below, to track non- Personal Information about visitors to the Website in the aggregate. This service captures usage and volume statistics to improve the usability of our website.

See “Third Party Advertisers.” The acceptance and storage of cookies can be managed through your web browser’s security settings.
We may, and our third-party advertising affiliates may, employ a software technology called clear gifs, also referred to as web beacons or web bugs, that help manage content on the Website by tracking what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers’ Personal Information. To learn more about our advertisers’ use of clear gifs, see “Third Party Advertisers.”
We may use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails recipients have opened. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see the process described below under the heading “Choice and Opt-out.”
We may use embedded scripts, which are programming code that collects information about your interactions with the Website, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your computer or other device from our server or a third-party provider and is deactivated or deleted when you disconnect from the Website. In addition, we may use a variety of other technologies that collect similar information for security and fraud detection purposes.
You may have the option to provide demographic information (such as income level and preferred language of communication) to us.
If you visit or use our website on a mobile device or use our mobile application, we may collect information from your device, including device ID and your mobile carrier.
