Who may have access to your information

• HC3, Inc. may also use service providers acting on HC3, Inc.’s behalf to perform some of the services described above including for the purposes of the verification / background checks.

• We will also share your personal information with other third parties if we have your consent (for example if you have given us permission to contact your referees), or to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or to protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of HC3, Inc., our users, applicants, candidates, employees or the public or as otherwise required by law.
• It is your responsibility to obtain consent from referees before providing their personal information to HC3, Inc..
• HC3, Inc. operates globally, which means your information may be stored and processed outside of the country or region where it was originally collected including in the United States.
