Privacy Policy

ASRK LLC ("ASRK," "we," "us," or "our") is an IT staffing and consulting company headquartered in Southborough, Massachusetts, United States. We connect skilled technology professionals with client organizations across the U.S.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit our website, apply for a position, work with us as a consultant or employee, or engage us as a client. By using our website, submitting information to us, or using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

This policy does not apply to websites, platforms, or practices of our clients, job boards, or other third parties, even if you reach them through our website or are placed with a client by us. Additional notices may apply to employees and consultants during employment.

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following categories of information:

Candidates and Job Applicants

• Identifiers: name, email address, phone number, mailing address.
• Professional information: resume/CV, work history, education, skills, certifications, references, salary expectations, and desired roles or locations.
• Work authorization and immigration information: citizenship or visa status, and, where applicable, information required for H-1B or other immigration filings.
• Background screening information: where permitted by law and with your authorization, results of background checks, employment and education verification, and drug screening required by a client.

Consultants and Employees

• Onboarding and employment records, including Form I-9 and E-Verify information, tax forms (e.g., W-4, W-9), Social Security number, bank details for payroll, benefits enrollment, timesheets, and performance information.
• Emergency contact information you choose to provide.

Clients and Business Contacts

• Name, job title, company, business email, phone number, and details of staffing requirements.

Website Visitors

• Information you submit through our contact or career forms.
• Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring URLs, collected automatically through server logs and similar technologies.

Voluntary Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Data

We may invite applicants to voluntarily self-identify gender, race/ethnicity, veteran status, or disability status for government reporting. Providing this information is optional and will not affect any employment decision.

• Directly from you — when you submit a form, upload a resume, email or call us, or complete onboarding documents.
• From third parties — job boards, professional networking sites (such as LinkedIn), referrals, references, and background screening providers.
• From clients — feedback about assignments and performance.
• Automatically — through cookies, server logs, and similar technologies when you use our website.

We use personal information for legitimate business purposes, including to:

• Evaluate your qualifications and match you with suitable job opportunities.
• Present your profile to clients for positions you have expressed interest in.
• Communicate with you about openings, interviews, assignments, and our services.
• Onboard, pay, and administer benefits for employees and consultants.
• Verify employment eligibility and prepare immigration filings, including Labor Condition Applications.
• Conduct background screening where authorized and legally permitted.
• Respond to client inquiries and manage business relationships.
• Operate, secure, and improve our website.
• Comply with legal obligations, including tax, labor, immigration, and EEO reporting.
• Protect our rights, prevent fraud, and resolve disputes.

We do not sell your personal information for money, and as of the date of this policy we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If our practices change, we will update this policy and provide any opt-out rights required by law.

We may share personal information in the following circumstances:

• Clients and prospective employers: we share your resume and relevant details with clients when presenting you for a role. We make reasonable efforts to confirm your interest in a position before submitting your profile to a client.
• Service providers: vendors who help us operate our business, such as payroll processors, benefits administrators, background screening companies, applicant tracking and email/cloud providers, and website hosting. We require them to use the information only to perform services for us, but we are not responsible for their independent acts or practices.
• Government agencies: such as the U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the IRS, and state agencies, as required or permitted for immigration, tax, or employment compliance.
• Professional advisors: attorneys, accountants, and immigration counsel under confidentiality obligations.
• Legal requirements: when required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ASRK, our workers, clients, or others.
• Business transfers: in connection with, or during negotiations of, a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or part of our business.
• With your consent: for any other purpose disclosed to you at the time.

Once information is shared with a client for a hiring purpose, the client's own privacy practices govern its use of that information.

When a client or position requires a background check and we procure a consumer report, we will obtain your written authorization before doing so and will provide the disclosures and notices required by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and applicable state and local laws, including any pre-adverse and adverse action notices.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functioning, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect site functionality.

Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control: where required by applicable law, we honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a valid request to opt out of sale or sharing. Because there is no uniform standard for "Do Not Track" browser signals, our site does not currently respond to them.

If you provide your phone number, we may contact you by call or text about job opportunities and your application. Where required, we will obtain your consent before sending text messages. You can opt out of texts at any time by replying STOP, and unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in the message. Message and data rates may apply.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy and to meet legal requirements. For example, Form I-9 records, payroll and tax records, and public access files for Labor Condition Applications are kept for the periods required by federal and state law. Candidate profiles may be retained so we can consider you for future opportunities. You may ask us to delete your profile, subject to our legal and record-keeping obligations. Residual copies may remain in backups for a limited period.

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to help protect personal information, such as access controls and limiting access to personnel with a business need. However, no website, email, internet transmission, or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of any information you send us. You transmit information at your own risk. Please do not send sensitive information such as Social Security numbers or bank details through our website forms or by unencrypted email unless we specifically request it through a secure method. If a security breach affects your personal information, we will provide notice as required by applicable law.

You may contact us at any time to update your information or ask us to stop contacting you about opportunities. Depending on your state of residence — including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon, and other states with consumer privacy laws — you may have the right to:

• Know and access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate personal information.
• Delete personal information, subject to legal exceptions.
• Obtain a portable copy of your information.
• Opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or certain profiling (we do not engage in these).
• Limit the use of sensitive personal information to permitted purposes.
• Non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

These rights are not absolute. They apply only where the applicable law covers you and ASRK, and they are subject to exceptions — for example, information we must keep for legal, tax, immigration, or employment purposes, to defend legal claims, or where a request is unfounded, excessive, or cannot be verified.

To submit a request, email info@asrkllc.com or call +1 508-417-8033. We will verify your identity before responding and will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision.

Our website and services are intended for adults seeking employment or staffing services and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Our website may link to third-party sites such as LinkedIn, Instagram, or job boards. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

ASRK is based in the United States. Personal information we collect may be processed and stored in the United States and in other countries where we or our service providers operate. If you access our website or apply from outside the U.S., you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States and those other countries, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

• Accurate information: you are responsible for making sure the information you provide — including your resume, work history, credentials, and work authorization — is accurate, complete, and not misleading. Providing false information may result in disqualification or termination of an assignment.
• Information about others: if you give us information about another person, such as a reference or emergency contact, you confirm that you have their permission to do so.
• Unsolicited information: please do not send us sensitive information we have not requested, such as medical or health information, religious beliefs, or government ID numbers.

Scammers sometimes pose as staffing companies to steal money or personal information. ASRK will never ask you to pay a fee to apply, interview, or be placed, and we do not conduct interviews only through chat apps or ask for bank details before a formal offer.

Genuine ASRK communications come from an @asrkllc.com email address. If you receive a suspicious message claiming to be from ASRK, please contact us at info@asrkllc.com before responding. ASRK is not responsible for losses caused by individuals falsely claiming to represent us.

• No employment contract: submitting an application or information to ASRK does not guarantee an interview, placement, or employment. Nothing in this policy creates an employment contract or changes the at-will nature of any employment relationship.
• Not a contract: this policy is a statement of our practices. It does not create contractual rights or obligations for any party, or rights for any third party.
• Equal opportunity: ASRK is an equal opportunity employer. We do not use personal information to discriminate on the basis of any characteristic protected by law.
• Limitation of liability: to the fullest extent permitted by law, ASRK is not liable for unauthorized access to or use of information that results from causes beyond our reasonable control, or from the acts of third parties.
• Governing law: this policy is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where the law of your state of residence requires otherwise.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Changes are effective when posted. For material changes, we may provide additional notice. Your continued use of our website or services after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
