Collection of Personal Data

GOVVAS collects personal data to operate effectively and to comply with government regulations (e.g., employment, tax, insurance). GOVVAS collects and maintains Personal data from its current and former employees, from individuals it may potentially employ or place for permanent or temporary employment with GOVVAS customers, from current and former contingent workers (including temporary workers and other non-employees) of GOVVAS and, at times, it may collect or be exposed to personal data from its customers or vendors. Through certain of the GOVVAS Web sites, GOVVAS collects personal data that is voluntarily provided by users when a user signs up for a GOVVAS job board account or allows for users to set up an account or otherwise submit information for the purpose of searching for temporary or permanent employment opportunities, submit a resume for inclusion in a GOVVAS database or respond to a listed employment position.

The information GOVVAS collects will be used only as described in this Privacy Statement and/or in the way we specify at the time of collection. We will not subsequently change the way your personal data is used without your consent.

GOVVAS notifies all identified individuals about the purposes for which personal data is collected and used. In appropriate situations, however, personal data may be “anonymized” so that the identity of individuals cannot be known. In these cases, GOVVAS will not notify you regarding the purpose for which personal data is collected and used by GOVVAS.

Consent

By using this Web site, you consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described herein. If we decide to make changes to this Privacy Statement, we will post the changes on this site so that you will always know what information we collect and how we use it.

Sharing Your Personal Data

GOVVAS may respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process by disclosing your personal data and other related information, if necessary. We also may disclose your personal data when we choose to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

GOVVAS only provides these third parties with the minimum amount of personal data necessary to provide the services on our behalf, and the third parties are not permitted to use your personal data except for the limited purpose of completing the requested service or transaction.

Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, GOVVAS decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses. Such a transaction may involve, in accordance with applicable law, the disclosure of personal data to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of it from sellers. It is GOVVAS’s practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.

We may collect and possibly share personal data and any other additional information available to us to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of GOVVAS’s terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.

GOVVAS will only share personal data about you that is relevant to our legitimate business purposes or as required to meet legal or regulatory requirements.

Your personal data is never sold, rented, or leased to any external company, unless you have granted us permission to do so.

GOVVAS does not disclose personal data about its employees without specific authorization from or notice to the employee, as provided in this Privacy Statement, or as required by law. In addition, GOVVAS does not collect more personal data than is needed to fulfill the purposes set forth in this Privacy Statement, unless consented to by the individual concerned.

Should you withdraw consent to the use of your information for any of the above-identified purposes, we will stop using your information for such purposes as soon as it is reasonably possible to do so. GOVVAS will also notify you if withdrawing consent affects our ability to service you.

As a part of our providing services to our customers, we may share personal data from our customers with other third parties as instructed by the customer. We may share the personal data with others solely for the purposes of managing the work we are contracted to manage and for no other reason and will abide by any contractual obligations contained in any customer agreement related to the sharing of personal data we receive from the customer.

Data Integrity

GOVVAS takes reasonable steps to ensure that personal data is accurate, complete, and current. All current and former employees of GOVVAS, applicants for specific jobs within GOVVAS and current and former contingent workers (including temporary workers and other non-employees) of GOVVAS, as well as individuals we may potentially employ, are asked to inform GOVVAS immediately in the event of changes in personal data.

Security of Your Personal Data

GOVVAS is committed to protecting the personal data you share with us. GOVVAS uses reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. GOVVAS supports online security using secure server technology because we want your data to be safe.
