We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you send us a message through TEAM Websites, provide us with your business card at an event, fill out a form or survey, are referred for or apply to a job, request services or customer support, or otherwise communicate with us. The types of information we may collect include your name, email address, postal address, phone number, account or employment related information, and any other information you choose to provide.
Information We Collect from Other Sources
We may also obtain information about you from other sources. For example, when we receive a referral for a worker for hire, we may collect information about the client/service recipient as applicable, including information about their name, address, date of birth, and nature of services requested. We may also collect information about the referred worker, such as their name, address, date of birth and other employment related information.
Additionally, if you are referred to us for employment purposes, we may collect information about you from identity verification and background check services.

We may share information about you as follows or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy:
- With vendors, service providers, and consultants that perform services for us, including background check services, administering health and welfare benefits, and backup and storage of data and CRM services;
