When this Privacy Statement applies
This Privacy Statement applies whenever we collect personal information from or about you, whether though our website(s) or in the course of providing other services to you. Some of our website(s) and services may have their own Privacy Statements and, where that is the case, those Privacy Statements will apply instead of this one.
What is in this Online Privacy Statement?
Collection of Personal Information
AUTOBLISS collects and maintains personal information from the following categories of individuals:
Use of Personal Information
The information AUTOBLISS collects will be used only as described in this Privacy Statement and/or in the way we specify at the time of collection. For the most part, we collect personal information to operate effectively and to comply with applicable laws and government regulations (e.g., employment, tax, insurance). We also use your personal information for the purposes of providing you with access to our website(s) and services. We will not subsequently change the way your personal information is used without your consent.
More specifically, some of the ways we may use your personal information include, but are not limited to:
Cookies and Online Tracking
AUTOBLISS websites use "cookies" and similar technologies (like web bugs) to help personalize your online experience and for our analytics purposes.
A cookie is a small data file placed on the hard drive of your computer when you visit certain websites. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you have visited.
A web bug is a graphic on a web page or email that gathers information about the computers used to view the Web page or email. A web bug can collect your computer’s IP address and the time you viewed the website or email.
Some parts of the AUTOBLISS websites use cookies and web bugs to track user traffic patterns on the AUTOBLISS sites. AUTOBLISS does this tracking in order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information.
If you prefer not to receive cookies or web bugs while browsing our website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies or web bugs and refuse them when your browser alerts you to their presence.
You can also refuse all cookies and web bugs by turning them off in your browser, although you may not be able to take full advantage of AUTOBLISS websites if you do so. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use/navigate through many parts of AUTOBLISS websites, except that access to certain AUTOBLISS Web pages require a login and password.

Sharing Your Personal Information within AUTOBLISS
AUTOBLISS may disclose your personal information to any member of the AUTOBLISS of companies for use in accordance with this Privacy Statement. This includes our subsidiaries, affiliates and our ultimate holding company.
This sharing of personal information with AUTOBLISS affiliates may include combining the personal information gathered by certain AUTOBLISS websites with information independently gathered on other AUTOBLISS websites into one or more database(s) usable by AUTOBLISS, including all of its affiliates. Again, this combined information will only ever be used for the purposes disclosed within this Privacy Statement.
Sharing Your Personal Information with Third Parties
Companies in AUTOBLISS may use the information internationally in connection with processing requests by potential customers or potential employers of contract workers or temporary employees. AUTOBLISS may disclose personal information about you to potential employers (direct placements) or potential customers if you are a contract worker we are seeking to assign to a customer.
We may respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process by disclosing your personal information and other related information, if we believe it necessary to do so. We also may disclose your personal information to third parties when we choose to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
We use third party service providers to assist us in providing our website(s) and services, including to support us in areas such as recruiting and reviewing responses to job advertisements, managing résumé/CV data, IT platform management or support services, infrastructure and application services, marketing, data analytics, drug and background screening, payroll processing services, and health care benefits. In providing these services on behalf of the AUTOBLISS, it may be necessary for us to provide these third parties access to personal information.
We only provide these third parties with the minimum amount of personal information necessary to provide the services on our behalf, and under strict contractual terms that require them to maintain the security and confidentiality of any personal information to which they have access.
Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, AUTOBLISS decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses. Such a transaction may involve, in accordance with applicable law, the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of it from sellers. It is the practice of AUTOBLISS to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.
We may collect and possibly share personal information and any other additional information available to us in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of the AUTOBLISS terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
International Data Transfers
As a global company, we may transfer personal information to AUTOBLISS entities and third parties located in countries outside your country of residence. These countries may not necessarily have data protection laws as comprehensive as those in your country or residence; although our collection, storage and use of your personal information will at all times continue to be governed by this Privacy Statement.
Privacy Shield
We comply with the EU-US Privacy Shield and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from European Union member countries and Switzerland.
In processing personal information, we comply with the following Privacy Shield Principles, as more specifically described in this Privacy Statement: Notice, Choice, Onward Transfer (to third parties), Security, Data Integrity, Access and Enforcement (including verification). More information about the U.S. Department of Commerce Privacy Shield Program can be found at https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome.
We have committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the EU-US Privacy Shield Principles to an independent dispute resolution mechanism, the BBB EU Privacy Shield, operated by the Council of Better Business Bureaus. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint, or if your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed by AUTOBLISS, please visit the BBB EU Privacy Shield website at https://www.bbb.org/EU-privacy-shield/file-a-complaint/ for more information and to file a complaint.
Your rights
You have the right to request access to your personal information. Please note that access may be subject to a fee specified by applicable law.
In addition, you may also ask us to correct, update, delete or block any personal information that we process about you, in particular where the personal information is incomplete or inaccurate. We take reasonable measures to ensure that your personal information is kept accurate, complete and current, and for this reason ask that you inform AUTOBLISS in the event of any changes to your personal information.
