Privacy policy

How Take a Seat People collects, uses and shares personal information across our US behavioral health recruitment services, and the privacy rights you can exercise.

Last updated August 28, 2026

1. Who we are

Take a Seat People ("Take a Seat People", "we", "us") is a US behavioral health recruitment business. We introduce clinicians — BCBAs, RBTs, SLPs, OTs, therapists, psychologists, psychiatric providers and clinical leaders — to employers such as ABA and autism services providers, schools, community mental health organizations and IDD providers.

This policy applies to this website and to the recruitment services we provide. We are the business responsible for the personal information described here.

Take a Seat People
EQ Group International Holdings Inc
8 The Green, Suite B
Dover, DE 19901
United States
Email: privacy@takeaseatppl.com

We are a recruitment business. We do not provide clinical care, therapy or medical advice, and we are not a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA. Please do not send us protected health information or client/patient records.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we collect the following categories of personal information.

Category	Examples	Source
Identifiers	Name, email address, phone number, city and state, LinkedIn profile	You
Professional and employment information	Resume/CV, certifications and licensure (e.g. BCBA, RBT, CCC-SLP, LCSW, LPC, LMFT, PMHNP), work history, caseload and setting preferences, compensation expectations, availability, references	You; employers; publicly available professional sources
Education information	Degrees, coursework, supervision hours	You
Commercial/service information	Roles you applied to, employer briefs, search notes, interview scheduling	You; our recruiters
Internet and device activity	IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring URL, cookie identifiers	Automatically, via cookies and analytics
Inferences	Suitability for a role or discipline based on the information above	Generated by us

We ask you not to send us information we do not need. In particular, do not send Social Security numbers, financial account details, health information about yourself or others, or client records through this website.

Where a state law treats certain information as sensitive (for example precise geolocation, or demographic data), we only collect it where you volunteer it, and we use it solely for the purpose you provided it for.

3. How we use personal information

To match clinicians with open behavioral health roles and to present candidates to employers.
To respond to hiring briefs, contact requests, talent network sign-ups and job applications.
To run searches: screening calls, interview coordination, reference checks with your permission, and offer support.
To send role alerts, market updates and insights where you have opted in — you can unsubscribe at any time.
To operate, secure and improve the website and measure which pages and roles are useful.
To comply with legal obligations, including recordkeeping obligations that apply to recruitment and employment agencies, and to establish or defend legal claims.

We do not use automated decision-making to reject candidates. Shortlisting decisions are made by our recruiters, and hiring decisions are made by the employer.

4. How we share personal information

Employers and hiring clients: we share your profile, resume and relevant details with an employer when you apply to their role or when you agree to be represented for a specific opportunity. We tell you which employer before we submit you.
Service providers: hosting, database, email delivery, analytics, scheduling and applicant tracking vendors who process information on our instructions.
Professional advisers, insurers and auditors where reasonably required.
Legal and safety: where required by law, subpoena or to protect rights, safety and the integrity of our services.
Business transfers: if the business or its assets are acquired or reorganized, subject to this policy.

We do not sell personal information for money. Some analytics and advertising cookies may count as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising or a "sale" under certain state laws; you can opt out at any time — see the section on your choices below.

5. Cookies and analytics

We use strictly necessary cookies to run the site and, with your consent where required, analytics and marketing cookies to understand traffic and campaign performance. You can change your choices at any time from the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer.

Our cookie policy explains each category and how to control it in your browser.

6. How long we keep information

Candidate records: for as long as you are active with us and up to 3 years from our last meaningful contact, unless you ask us to delete sooner.
Placed candidate and client records: for the length of the engagement plus the period required by applicable recordkeeping and tax rules.
Website and analytics data: typically up to 26 months.
Marketing preferences and opt-out records: kept for as long as needed to honor your choice.

7. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live — including California (CCPA/CPRA), Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas, Oregon and other states with comprehensive privacy laws — you may have the right to:

Know what personal information we collect, use, disclose and share, and access a copy of it.
Correct inaccurate personal information.
Delete personal information we hold about you, subject to legal exceptions.
Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising.
Limit the use of sensitive personal information.
Appeal a decision we make about your request, where your state provides an appeal right.
Not be discriminated against or retaliated against for exercising these rights. Exercising them will not affect how we represent you as a candidate.

To exercise a right, use our data request page or email privacy@takeaseatppl.com. We verify requests by matching the details you give us against our records, and may ask for additional information where we cannot verify you. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with written permission.

We respond within 45 days, and may extend once by a further 45 days where the request is complex. We will tell you if we need the extension.

8. Email and text message consent

We send recruitment communications only where you have asked us to contact you or applied to a role. Marketing emails carry an unsubscribe link and our business identity, as required by CAN-SPAM.

If you give us a mobile number and opt in to text messages, we may text you about roles, interviews and scheduling. Message and data rates may apply, message frequency varies, consent is not a condition of being represented or hired, and you can stop at any time by replying STOP or emailing us. Reply HELP for help.

9. Security

We use encryption in transit, access controls, role-based permissions and vendor review to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children

Our services are for working professionals and employers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a minor has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes and contact

We update this policy when our practices change. The date at the top of the page shows when it last changed. Questions or complaints: privacy@takeaseatppl.com.

This policy covers https://takeaseatppl.com and the recruitment services offered by Take a Seat People.
