NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEES, JOB APPLICANTS, AND CONTRACTORS UNDER THE CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT RE: COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Effective Date: February 28, 2023

Dear Employee/Applicant:

At Divorce.com, LLC, and its operating groups, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and related entities, (“Divorce.com,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) we are committed to the proper handling of the Personal Information collected or processed in connection with your employment with us. We provide the following notice to all Company employees, job applicants, and independent contractors residing in California. We may provide your personal information to those providing services for us, such as our benefits administrators or other entities that need the information to provide a business function for us, or to government agencies (such as taxing authorities and the social security administration).

This disclosure describes the categories of Personal Information we collect and the purposes for which we process that information in accordance with California Civil Code § 1798.100(a) of the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”). The CCPA defines “Personal Information” as categories of information that identify, relate to, describe, or are reasonably capable of being associated with, or can reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to a particular individual or household.

Please note that the CCPA’s definition of Personal Information does not include publicly available information lawfully made available to the general public from federal, state, or local government records (information is not publicly available if that data is used for a purpose that is not compatible with the purpose for which the data is maintained and made available in the government records or for which it is publicly maintained), de-identified or aggregated consumer information, information excluded from the CCPA’s scope, like health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accessibility Act of 1966 (HIPAA), the California Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data, or personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

Sources of Personal Information

Our sources of Personal Information can be directly from you, or we may also combine Personal Information collected from other sources with the Personal Information you provide to us. In some instances, Personal Information may be collected automatically, such as in connection with your use of the internet on company devices, or via timekeeping applications or key fob access. The sources of your Personal Information may include:

• You
• Recruiters
• Prior employers (e.g., for references)
• Professional references you provide to us
• Educational institutions
• Pre-employment screening services
• Job posting and talent acquisition sites or services (e.g., LinkedIn, Indeed, Monster, etc.)
• Credentialing and licensing organizations
• Publicly available resources including your social media profile (e.g., LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook) or your current employer’s website
• Third parties as necessary for providing you with benefits and ancillary services
• Your Company-owned or Company-controlled device (such as computers and phones)
• Other sources as directed by you.

Categories of Personal Information Collected

In connection with your application for employment or your employment with the Company, the Company provides the following list of categories of Personal Information (as set forth in California Civil Code sections 1798.140(v)(1)(A) through (L), effective January 1, 2023) that are collected from you, and whether or not those categories are sold or shared as defined in the CPRA. Please note that the definition of “sale” may include the sharing of information for non-monetary value, but the definition of “sharing” under the CPRA applies only to the sharing of that information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

While we do not sell or share your personal information for monetary purposes, the definition of “sale” in California includes the sharing of personal information for targeted advertising and analytics. Because we use companies like Google Analytics and Facebook, our non-monetary uses of your personal information may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA. You may contact us to opt out of the sharing of your information for this purpose. You also may contact us to limit the use of your sensitive personal information, specifically, your geolocation information, if you have enabled it. We never share your Social Security Number for any purpose other than the purpose for which you provided it to us.
