Privacy Policy

Updated November 4, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to ABA C.A.R.E.S. Staffing (“CARES,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our websites (e.g., www.abacaresstaffing.com), mobile applications, or any related online and offline services we provide (collectively, the “Services”).
If you receive Services through an employer, partner organization, or other agreement, the terms of that agreement will govern in the event of a conflict with this Policy.

CARES is based in the United States, with an office at 410 Hampton Drive, Lake Villa, IL 60046. CARES is the data controller for information collected through our Services.

2. What Is Personal Information?

“Personal Information” means any information that identifies or can reasonably identify you, directly or indirectly—such as your name, contact information, ID number, location data, or online identifier. This may include:

  • Sensitive Personal Information, which refers to more private data like financial or health information.
  • Pseudonymized Information, which no longer directly identifies you but could be linked to other data.

Personal Information does not include anonymous or permanently de-identified data.

3. How We Collect Personal Information

We may collect Personal Information in the following ways:

  • Directly from you, online (e.g., forms, email, chat) or offline (e.g., phone, mail, or in-person).

     

  • From your employer or sponsoring organization, such as when you participate in CARES programs, training, or events through your workplace.

     

  • From third-party sources, including event partners, social media, or research collaborators.

     

  • By combining data collected through multiple channels (online and offline).

4. What Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of Personal Information:

  • Information You Provide
    Examples include:
    • Contact details: name, email address, phone number, and mailing address

    • Payment information: when making a purchase or donation
    • Event or program participation information
    • Survey or feedback responses
    • Job application information (e.g., resume, background checks, references)
  • Information About Others

If you provide information about someone else (e.g., a colleague), you confirm that you have their consent to share it.

 

  • Information Collected Automatically
    When you use our Services, we may collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, pages visited, interaction data, and—if you allow—location data. This information helps us improve Services and personalize your experience.

7. How You May Share Information

Some parts of our Services—such as forums, chats, or discussion boards—allow users to post publicly. Information shared there becomes public and can be viewed by others. Exercise caution when sharing any personal details in these spaces.

8. How We Share Information

We may share Personal Information as described below:

  1. Third-Party Partners
    We may share limited contact or registration data (such as name, title, or email) with event sponsors or partners directly connected to a specific program or event you attend.

  3. Employer-Sponsored Programs
    If you participate through an employer or organization, we may share relevant information with that sponsor consistent with the program’s purpose and applicable privacy laws.
  4. Legal Compliance and Protection
    We may disclose information if required by law, in response to valid legal requests, or when necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property.
  5. Business Transfers
    If CARES undergoes a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your Personal Information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Policy.

10. Notice for Individuals Outside the United States

Our Services are provided from the United States and are primarily intended for U.S. use. If you access our Services from another country, your data may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. or other locations that may not offer the same level of protection.

Where required by law, CARES uses appropriate legal safeguards such as standard contractual clauses for cross-border transfers.

11. Online Advertising and External Links

CARES may appear on other websites or social media platforms. We do not control third-party sites or ads and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

12. Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information against loss, misuse, or unauthorized access.

We retain information as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law.

While we take precautions, no online system can be guaranteed 100% secure. We will notify you as required by law in the event of a data breach.

13. Information About Minors

Our Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can delete it.
