Privacy Policy

Excelon Associates is committed to protecting user privacy online and uses submitted information to provide executive search, recruiting, staffing, candidate communication, employer communication, website functionality, and related business services.

In order to provide services, Excelon Associates may collect your name, address, email address, telephone number, education and employment information, compensation information, resume information, professional background, licensing or certification information, communications, and any other information provided by you. This information may be considered personal information, personally identifiable information, candidate information, or applicant information depending on the applicable law.

Excelon Associates may use personal information to improve customer service, personalize user experience, improve the site, send periodic emails, communicate about employment opportunities, communicate about staffing or search services, evaluate candidate qualifications, support client searches, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, and support business operations.

Excelon Associates may also collect non-personal identification information when users interact with the site, including browser name, device type, computer type, operating system, internet service provider, technical connection details, referring pages, general site usage information, and similar information. The site may use cookies, analytics tools, embedded features, or similar technologies to enhance user experience, understand site performance, and support website operations.

Users may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies or alert them when cookies are being sent. Doing so may limit functionality on parts of the site.

Excelon Associates does not knowingly sell personal information in the traditional sense of exchanging personal information for money. However, some privacy laws define terms such as sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising broadly. To the extent any website analytics, advertising pixels, cookies, job board integrations, recruiting platforms, email tools, or similar technologies are deemed a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable law, Excelon Associates will provide notices, choices, or opt-out mechanisms where legally required.

In the normal course of business, Excelon Associates may share information provided by candidates with prospective employers, client organizations, hiring managers, service providers, partners, affiliates, professional advisors, or other third parties reasonably involved in recruiting, staffing, customer service, website, compliance, or business support services. Any use of personal information by prospective employers or third parties is governed by those entities and their own privacy policies.

Excelon Associates may disclose personal information when required by court order, subpoena, law enforcement request, judicial authority, government inquiry, regulatory request, or other lawful process. Excelon Associates reserves the right to report activities it believes in good faith to be unlawful, improper, fraudulent, abusive, or harmful.

State Privacy Rights and Applicable Law

Excelon Associates, Inc. is based in North Carolina and provides executive search, recruiting, staffing, candidate sourcing, and related professional services to clients and candidates across multiple jurisdictions. Privacy and data protection laws may vary by state, country, user location, business activity, and the type of information involved.

Certain rights, notices, disclosures, and obligations described in this Privacy Policy may apply only to users who reside in jurisdictions where those laws are in effect and only to the extent Excelon Associates is legally subject to those laws. Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to expand legal obligations beyond what applicable law requires or to create rights that do not otherwise exist under applicable law.

Where required by applicable law, users may have the right to request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of personal information, restriction or limitation of certain uses of sensitive information, portability of certain information, or information about how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, retained, sold, or shared. Excelon Associates will respond to verified requests as required by applicable law.

Excelon Associates may decline, limit, or delay a privacy request where permitted by law, including where the request cannot be verified, is excessive or unfounded, conflicts with legal obligations, interferes with the completion of a recruiting or employment-related service, affects the rights or privacy of another individual, relates to information maintained for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, tax, accounting, recordkeeping, contractual, dispute resolution, or legitimate business purposes, or falls within another legal exception.

California Privacy Notice

California residents or other eligible users may submit privacy-related requests by contacting Excelon Associates using the contact information listed on this page. Excelon Associates may request information reasonably necessary to verify the identity of the person making the request, confirm authority to act on behalf of another person, and locate the relevant information.

Excelon Associates will not discriminate against users for exercising privacy rights that apply to them under applicable law. However, certain requests may affect Excelon Associates' ability to provide recruiting, staffing, communication, candidate evaluation, client submission, job alert, or website-related services.

To the extent required by applicable law, Excelon Associates will provide any required notices, opt-out mechanisms, appeal options, or request procedures related to California privacy rights, sensitive personal information, sale or sharing of personal information, targeted advertising, automated decision-making, profiling, or similar regulated activities.

Data Storage, Processing, and Retention

Excelon Associates may store, process, transmit, and maintain personal information using internal systems, cloud-based platforms, applicant tracking systems, recruiting databases, email systems, analytics tools, job board platforms, communication tools, website hosting providers, cybersecurity tools, professional advisors, and other service providers that support business operations.

Personal information may be stored or processed in the United States or in other locations where Excelon Associates or its service providers maintain systems or operations. By using this website, submitting information, or communicating with Excelon Associates, users understand that their information may be processed in jurisdictions with privacy laws that may differ from those in their state, province, or country of residence.

Excelon Associates retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including recruiting, candidate evaluation, client services, future search opportunities, business administration, compliance, legal, tax, accounting, security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and recordkeeping purposes.

Because recruiting and executive search relationships may involve future opportunities, Excelon Associates may retain candidate, applicant, client, and business contact information for future consideration unless deletion is requested and required by applicable law. Excelon Associates may also retain information where permitted or required by law, including when needed to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, protect rights, maintain business records, or complete an active recruiting process.

Excelon Associates takes reasonable steps to select service providers appropriate for the nature of the services provided, but no website, database, email system, cloud service, or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Automated Tools, AI, and Recruiting Technology

Excelon Associates may use software, databases, search tools, artificial intelligence tools, automation, analytics, or other recruiting technologies to assist with candidate sourcing, resume review, job matching, communication, research, workflow management, and business operations.

These tools are intended to support human review, recruiter judgment, sourcing efficiency, candidate organization, and business operations. They are not intended to replace individualized assessment of candidates by Excelon Associates, client organizations, hiring managers, or prospective employers.

Where required by applicable law, Excelon Associates will provide disclosures, notices, rights, or request procedures related to automated decision-making, profiling, artificial intelligence tools, or similar technologies. Excelon Associates may modify, limit, suspend, or discontinue the use of certain technologies as laws, regulations, client requirements, vendor practices, or internal practices evolve.
