What we collect and why APPLICATIONS: The public application collects contact details, role and certification information, experience, and availability so leadership can review your application. It does NOT collect your date of birth, home address, or emergency contact — those are collected later, inside a signed-in onboarding account, only if you are selected. ONBOARDING / HR: Personnel files are kept in three classes — General, Medical (restricted), and Investigative (restricted) — each with its own access list. Background-check and driving-record information is restricted to leadership with a need to know. We never collect a full Social Security number in this system. CONTRACTS & EXPENSES: Contract and expense records are visible only to Admin and Finance/HR roles. SHARING: We do not sell personal information. Information is shared only as needed to run the event operation (for example, credential verification with the issuing registry, or a background check you have authorized in writing). RETENTION & REQUESTS: Application records for people not selected are retained for one year. To ask what we hold about you, or to correct it, use the Contact page.
