Consent and opt-in

We send text messages only with your express consent, given by checking the text-message consent box on our website forms, replying “YES” to an initial message from our team, or asking a recruiter for text updates verbally or on intake paperwork.

Opt-out and help

Mobile information is never shared

Mobile information, phone numbers, and text messaging consent will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are excluded from all information sharing. Mobile information is shared only with the messaging service providers that deliver texts on our behalf, under confidentiality obligations.

Text messaging is not a fully secure channel. Please never send Social Security numbers, banking details, or passwords by text.

5. Human review

Every candidate presentation, qualification review, and hiring recommendation is made by an experienced staffing professional. We do not use automated tools to reject candidates without human review, and résumés we share reflect each candidate’s actual background.

6. How we protect information

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Résumés and profiles are stored in access-controlled systems available only to authorized AP staff. Sensitive identity information is encrypted and limited to authorized human resources personnel. We keep information only as long as needed for our work and legal retention requirements.

7. When we share information

• Prospective employers: candidate qualifications and résumés, with the candidate’s knowledge.
• Service providers: trusted vendors for email, communications, payroll, and benefits, bound by confidentiality.
• Legal requirements: when required by law, regulation, subpoena, or court order.

8. Your rights and choices

You may request a summary of the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it or remove you from outreach, subject to required payroll, tax, and employment record retention. Email privacy@approfessionals.biz or call (800) 276-6306.
