Orion Legal Search, LLC ("Orion Legal Search," "we," "our," or "us") values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you share it with us through our recruiting activities, including resume submissions, email communications, and our online platforms. We are based in California, and our services primarily focus on candidates and employers located in the United States.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when applying for a position, responding to job postings, or communicating with us. This may include your name, contact details, resume, employment history, education, professional qualifications, and any other information you choose to share.

We may also collect limited information such as professional references, LinkedIn profiles, and notes related to your interviews or job preferences.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to connect you with potential employers, evaluate your fit for current or future opportunities, and maintain contact regarding roles that match your skills and interests. We only share your information with law firm or corporate clients for legitimate recruiting purposes—and always with your consent.

3. How We Store and Protect Your Data

We take great care to store candidate data securely and ensure that personal information is managed with the highest standards of confidentiality and integrity. Access to candidate data is restricted to authorized Orion Legal Search personnel who require it for legitimate recruiting activities.

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to improve your browsing experience or analyze site traffic. You can adjust your browser settings to disable cookies if you prefer.

8. GDPR Addendum (for EU/EEA Candidates)

Although Orion Legal Search primarily operates in the United States, we occasionally receive resumes or inquiries from individuals located in the European Union or European Economic Area (EEA). In such cases, we process your data only for the purpose of evaluating your qualifications and connecting you with employment opportunities. Our lawful basis for processing this data is your explicit consent when you submit your information.

If you are located in the EEA, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. You may also contact your local data protection authority for additional information about your rights under the GDPR.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The latest version will always be available on our website, and significant updates will be communicated where appropriate.
