Privacy Policy

This Policy applies to https://ethur.ai (the “Site”) and all related services, including any application programming interfaces (APIs) we offer (collectively, the “Services”), regardless of how you access them.

This Policy covers different types of individuals who interact with us:

• Candidates — individuals undergoing background checks through our Services.
• Customers — businesses or organizations that use our Services.
• Site Visitors — anyone browsing our Site.
• Workers — our employees, contractors, directors, and officers.
• Guests — visitors to our physical offices.

Separate internal policies apply to our own Workers and Guests.

This Policy does not apply to third-party websites we may link to. We encourage you to review their privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites or services.

When you install and use the Ethur Connect browser extension (the “Extension”), the following additional practices apply:

• Data Extraction (Scraping): The Extension is designed to assist Customers by identifying candidate information (such as name, email, and phone number) directly from supported third-party Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and professional networking sites. This data is only extracted when a User manually initiates a “Scan” or interaction via the Extension interface.
• Purpose of Collection: Data collected via the Extension is used solely to pre-populate background check orders within the Ethur platform, reducing manual entry errors for our Customers.
• Limited Use: Ethur does not “sell” or “share” data extracted by the Extension for advertising or marketing purposes. We do not use this data for any purpose other than providing the requested screening services to the Customer.
• Security of Transmission: All candidate data extracted by the Extension is encrypted in transit via HTTPS before being processed by our secure backend. We do not store PII locally within the browser's permanent storage.
• User Control: You may disable or remove the Extension at any time through your browser settings. The Extension only accesses data on specific, authorized domains necessary to perform its functions.

• Account and registration details (e.g., name, business information, login credentials).
• Candidate information submitted during background check processes (e.g., name, date of birth, government ID numbers).
• Contact and marketing information (e.g., when signing up for newsletters, webinars, or demos).
• Payment and billing information.
• Messages, feedback, and support inquiries.

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to gather usage data such as IP addresses, browsing activity, and device information. See our Cookie Policy for details.

We receive data from Customers, public records, government agencies, departments of motor vehicles, and other data providers to deliver our Services.

We may create or infer information (e.g., risk indicators or client identifiers) based on the data we collect.

We collect the categories listed in Section 2 above, including identifiers, California Customer Records Act information, internet activity, professional/employment data, education information, inferences, and sensitive personal information.

See Section 3 above.

We disclose the categories of information listed in Section 7.1 to service providers and contractors for operational and business purposes.

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. However, certain disclosures for advertising and marketing purposes may be considered “sharing” under California law. You can opt out at any time using the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link or Global Privacy Control signals.

We use sensitive personal information only for the limited purposes allowed under the CCPA and do not use it for additional purposes that would require offering a “limit the use” right.

As a global provider of screening services, Ethur may process or transfer personal information to countries outside your home country to deliver our Services.

If you are located in the UK, EU, EEA, or Switzerland, please refer to our GDPR Privacy Policy for more details on international transfers. You can also review our Data Privacy Framework Notice to understand our commitments under that framework.

If you are in Canada, our Canadian Privacy Policy provides additional information on how we handle your personal information.

When acting as an investigative consumer reporting agency under applicable laws (such as the California Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act), we may transfer personal information collected from Candidates outside the United States in the following situations:

• To third parties needed to collect or verify information in order to fulfill a Customer's requested Service;
• To service providers assisting us in delivering Services from locations outside the United States; and
• To our affiliates and service providers supporting the overall delivery of our Services.

Some browsers allow users to send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, our Site does not currently respond to them.

Where required by applicable state law, Ethur honors Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals sent by supported browsers as valid opt-out requests for the sale or sharing of personal information and for targeted advertising.

You can learn more about GPC and how to enable it by visiting the Global Privacy Control website. You will need to activate the signal in each browser or extension you use.
