This Privacy Policy explains how Paige Mead Recruiting ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information gathered through www.paigemeadrecruiting.com (the "Website").

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you submit our contact form or reach out via email, we may collect:

  • Your first and last name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Company or organization name
  • Professional title
  • The content of your message, including details about hiring needs or career goals

All personal information is submitted voluntarily. You are never required to provide personal information to browse this Website.

Job Applications and Resume Submissions

Our Candidate Opportunities page displays current openings through Crelate, the applicant tracking system we use to manage our searches. If you apply for a position or submit your resume there, the information you provide is collected and stored in that system on our behalf. This typically includes:

  • Your name, email address, and phone number
  • Your resume or CV, and any other documents you choose to attach
  • Your work history, qualifications, and any details you add to your application
  • The role or roles you applied for

We are responsible for how this information is handled. We use it to evaluate your fit for the position you applied for and for future openings, and to stay in contact with you about your search. Your resume is never sent to a prospective employer without your explicit permission.

Crelate acts as a service provider processing this information on our behalf rather than for its own purposes. You can ask us at any time what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by contacting us.

Chat Assistant

Our Website offers an AI chat assistant. If you use it, the messages you type are sent to our chat service and on to an AI provider, which generates the reply.

Your conversation is also kept in your own browser, in that tab's session storage, so the thread survives if you move between pages. Your browser normally clears it when you close the tab, though features such as reopening a closed tab or restoring a previous session can keep it longer. Any script running on this Website can read it while it is there, which is another reason not to type anything sensitive into the chat.

Please don't share sensitive personal information in the chat. It isn't the right place for your resume, salary details, medical or financial information, or anything confidential about your current employer. Use the Candidate Opportunities page or the contact form for anything you'd rather keep private.

The assistant is given the content published on this Website to answer from, but it is a generative AI model and can still produce information that is incomplete, outdated, or simply wrong. Nothing it says is a commitment on our part. For anything that matters, speak to Paige directly.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our Website, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • IP address
  • Pages visited, time spent, and referring website
  • Whether you arrived via a paid advertisement (e.g., Google Ads)

This data is collected through cookies and similar technologies to help us understand how visitors use our Website and improve its performance.


How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your inquiries about executive search, recruiting services, or career opportunities in the dental and animal health industries
  • Facilitate the recruiting process by connecting qualified candidates with clients seeking leadership talent
  • Improve our Website by analyzing aggregate, anonymous usage data
  • Measure advertising effectiveness to understand how visitors find our Website

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.


How We Share Your Information

We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: We work with trusted third-party providers who help us operate our Website and deliver our services, including email delivery, web hosting, Crelate (our applicant tracking system), and the AI provider that powers our chat assistant. These providers are contractually obligated to handle your data responsibly and solely on our behalf.
  • Recruiting process: If you are a candidate, we may share relevant professional information with prospective employers only with your knowledge and as part of the search process. If you are a client, we will not share your hiring needs externally without your approval.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose personal information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect our legal rights.
  • Business transfer: In the event of a sale, merger, or acquisition, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Cookies

Our Website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to enhance your browsing experience. We use cookies to:

  • Remember your preferences during a session
  • Collect anonymous analytics data (such as which pages are most visited)
  • Track whether your visit originated from a paid advertisement

Most browsers allow you to control cookie settings. You can choose to block or delete cookies, though doing so may affect certain Website functionality. Refer to your browser's help section for instructions on managing cookies.


Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the personal information submitted through our Website. Our site is served over HTTPS (encrypted connection), and we limit access to personal data to authorized personnel only. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.


Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, typically for the duration of an active recruiting engagement or business relationship.

Candidate records, including resumes submitted through our Candidate Opportunities page, are kept in our applicant tracking system so we can consider you for future openings as they arise. If you would rather we did not, you may request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us.


Third-Party Links

Our Website may contain links to external sites, including LinkedIn and industry organizations. These third-party websites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.


Children's Privacy

Do Not Track

Our Website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals, as there is no industry-wide standard for compliance.


United States Jurisdiction

This Website is operated from the United States. If you are accessing it from outside the U.S., please be aware that your information will be transferred to and stored in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
