CareerSource Escarosa (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to our website at [https://www.careersourceescarosa.com, our program intake and service delivery systems, and any other sites or services that link to this policy (collectively, the “Services”). 

If you participate in workforce programs (including WIOA-funded services), additional privacy, confidentiality, and records requirements apply. This Policy is intended to be read together with any program-specific notices you receive at intake or during service delivery. 

1) Information We Collect 

We collect information in three primary ways: 

A. Information You Provide 

• Contact and account data: name, email address, phone number, mailing address. 

• Program/service data: eligibility and enrollment information, assessments, case notes, employment goals, training/credential history, supportive service needs, outcomes, and related documentation. 

• Application materials: resumes, cover letters, referrals, job applications, workshop registrations. 

• Communications: feedback, survey responses, event sign-ups, and messages submitted through forms or email. 

B. Information Collected Automatically 

When you visit our website, we and our service providers may automatically collect: 

• Device/usage data: IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, pages visited, links clicked, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and general location (derived from IP). 

• Cookies and similar technologies: pixels, web beacons, and local storage used for site functionality, security, and analytics (see Cookies & Analytics below). 

C. Information from Partners 

• Program partners and vendors: limited information from state systems, training providers, employers, or community partners as necessary to determine eligibility, provide services, measure outcomes, and coordinate referrals. 

• Public records and verification services: where required to verify eligibility or outcomes consistent with applicable law and program rules. 

2) How We Use Information 

We use information to: 

• Provide and improve services: determine eligibility, enroll participants, deliver case management, training, workshops, and job placement services, and measure outcomes. 

• Operate our website: administer, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the site experience. 

• Communicate with you: respond to inquiries, send confirmations, updates, and service notices, and share events or opportunities (you can opt out of non-essential emails). 

• Compliance and reporting: satisfy federal/state reporting obligations (e.g., WIOA reporting), conduct program evaluation and audits, respond to lawful requests, and comply with records retention requirements. 

• Safety and security: prevent, detect, and investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents. 

We will not sell your personal information. We do not use participant information for targeted advertising. 

3) Legal Bases (if you are in the EU/EEA or when applicable) 

Where required, we rely on public interest, legal obligation, contract/consent for specific services, and legitimate interests (e.g., site security, basic analytics). When consent is required, you may withdraw it at any time. 

4) How We Share Information 

We may share information: 

• With program partners and service providers: Workforce system partners, education/training providers, case management and data system vendors, and analytics/security providers—only as necessary to deliver services and operate our website. 

• With employers: With your consent or as part of a job referral or placement process you initiate. 

• For compliance: With federal/state/local agencies for reporting, audits, monitoring, and legal compliance (e.g., U.S. DOL, State of Florida, local workforce boards). 

• When required by law: To respond to lawful requests, court orders, or to protect rights, safety, and security. 

• In aggregated/de-identified form: We may share non-identifiable insights for planning and reporting. 

We do not sell personal information. 

5) Cookies & Analytics 

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep our site secure and functional and to understand usage trends. Typical categories may include: 

• Strictly necessary: site security, load balancing, session management. 

• Performance/analytics: to measure traffic and improve content (e.g., Google Analytics). 

• Preferences: to remember choices (e.g., accessibility settings). 

Your Choices: 
You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where provided, our on-site cookie banner or preference center. Disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality. 

If you use Google Analytics, you can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. If you use other analytics or tagging tools, consult their opt-out mechanisms. 

6) Data Security 

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including secure transmission, access controls, user authentication, and staff training. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we work continuously to protect your information and improve our controls. 

7) Data Retention 

We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, to provide services, to comply with legal, contractual, audit, and records retention requirements, and to resolve disputes. Program records may have specific retention schedules set by federal/state rules. Website analytics data may be retained for shorter periods in aggregated or de-identified form. 

8) Public Records (Florida) 

As a public-serving organization, some records may be subject to Florida’s public records laws. Certain personal information and participant records are protected by federal and state confidentiality rules and will not be disclosed where an exemption applies. We evaluate all requests in accordance with applicable law.
