What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media Uploads

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact Forms

When you submit a contact, job-inquiry, or “Post a Job” form, we collect the information you choose to give us, which may include:

  • Name, email address, phone number, company details

  • Job description or résumé-type information

  • Any message you include

Purpose: We use this data to answer your questions, match job seekers with employers, and provide our services.
Retention: Form submissions are stored in our website database and/or secure email system for up to 12 months (unless you request deletion sooner) so we have a record of our communications.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (and similar tools) to understand how visitors use our site.

  • Information collected: IP address, device type, pages visited, time on page, and referring website.

  • Purpose: Improve site performance and content.

  • Opt-out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We share it only with:

  1. Service providers who help us run the website (hosting, email, analytics). They may process data solely to perform services for us and are bound by confidentiality.

  2. Recruiting partners or clients only when you explicitly submit a résumé or application for a specific job.

  3. Legal authorities if required to comply with law, court order, or prevent fraud.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: Indefinitely (for threaded discussions).

  • Registered accounts: Until you delete the account or request deletion.

  • Job-related submissions: Up to 24 months to allow future placement follow-ups, unless you request earlier removal.

  • Analytics records: Up to 26 months (Google Analytics default) in aggregated form.

Your Rights Over Your Data

You may request to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.

  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

  • Delete your data (unless we must keep it for legal reasons).

  • Object to or restrict certain processing.

  • Receive an exported file of your data.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [miraka@matchmakersstaffing.com].

Where We Send Your Data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service (Akismet). Form submissions may be routed through email and CRM providers located in the United States.

How We Protect Your Data

  • SSL encryption secures data in transit.

  • Strong passwords and 2-factor authentication protect administrator accounts.

  • Regular software updates, malware scans, and firewall rules safeguard server integrity.

If we discover a breach involving your personal data, we will:

  1. Investigate and contain the incident.

  2. Notify affected users and the appropriate authorities within 72 hours when required by law.

  3. Take steps to prevent similar events in the future.

Third-Party Data Sources

During background or reference checks (for certain roles), we may receive information from former employers or publicly available professional profiles. We use this data solely to assess candidate suitability.

Automated Decision-Making

MM Staffing does not rely solely on automated tools to make hiring decisions. All final placement decisions include human review.

Industry Regulatory Disclosures

  • We comply with applicable U.S. employment, anti-discrimination, and data-privacy laws.

  • If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, our legal basis for processing your data is typically “legitimate interest” (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or “contractual necessity” when you engage our services.
