Privacy Policy
Your information stays between us.
Effective October 3, 2026. This policy explains what The Dawson Group ("we," "us," "our") collects when you visit thedawsongroupsc.com, fill out a form, email, call or text us, and what we do with it.
What we collect
- Information you give us: your name, the role you're applying for and anything you share about your work history, company, role, email address, phone number, company size and anything you write in a form, email, text or call.
- Booking information: when you book a call, the scheduling tool collects your name, email and the time you pick.
- Payment information: payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
- Basic website data: our web host may log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type and pages visited, to keep the site secure and working.
How we use it
- To reply to you and provide the HR services you ask for.
- To schedule calls, send assessment links and follow up on your request.
- To pass job applications to the client who is hiring for that role, only for that hiring decision.
- To send our owner's update email, only if you sign up for it. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
- To send text messages, only if you opt in (see below).
- To bill for services and keep the business records the law requires.
Text messaging and your mobile number
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All other categories in this policy exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
We use your mobile number only to text with you about your request, a job you applied for, scheduling, or our work together. We send job openings only to people who have asked to receive them. You can reply STOP at any time to stop texts, or HELP for help. Full details are in our Text Messaging Terms.
Who we share it with
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only with:
- Service providers that help us run the business, such as our website host, email, calendar, texting, payment and assessment providers (for example, The Predictive Index when you take a PI assessment). They may use your information only to provide their service to us.
- The client hiring for a role you apply for, who receives your application details so they can make a hiring decision. Your text messaging opt-in and consent are never shared with them.
- When the law requires it, for example to respond to a subpoena or court order, or to protect someone's safety.
Client and employee information
When you're a client, we may handle information about your employees as part of our HR work. We keep it confidential, use it only to do the work you hired us for, and never use it for marketing.
How long we keep it
We keep your information as long as we need it to serve you and to meet legal, tax and record-keeping rules. After that, we delete it or keep it in a form that no longer identifies you.
How we protect it
We use reputable, secure providers and limit access to the people who need it. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
Your choices
- Ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you.
- Unsubscribe from emails with the link at the bottom of any email.
- Reply STOP to any text to stop text messages.
