Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 17, 2026

Horowitz Search (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is an accounting and finance recruiting business operated by Horowitz LLC, an Oregon limited liability company.

We respect the privacy of candidates, employers, professional contacts, and visitors to our website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, retain, and protect personal information in connection with our recruiting services and business operations.

1.Information We Collect

We collect information relevant to our recruiting activities and professional relationships.

Information provided directly

This may include:

  • Name, email address, telephone number, and professional contact information
  • Resumes, employment history, qualifications, professional credentials, and skills
  • Career interests, compensation expectations, location preferences, and availability
  • Information shared during interviews, conversations, or other communications
  • Employer hiring needs, position requirements, and business contact information

Professional information from other sources

We may obtain professional information from publicly available sources, professional networking platforms, referrals, employers, and other sources relevant to recruiting.

Recruiting and evaluation information

We may create and maintain notes about professional conversations, candidate qualifications, work preferences, relevant competencies, and potential suitability for employment opportunities.

Where appropriate and legally permitted, we may also collect professional references and related feedback.

Website information

Our website and its service providers may collect technical information such as IP addresses, browser information, device characteristics, and website activity.

2.How We Use Information

We use personal information to:

  • Identify and assess potential employment opportunities
  • Match candidates with prospective employers
  • Communicate about recruiting opportunities and professional interests
  • Evaluate relevant qualifications, experience, and competencies
  • Maintain professional relationships and recruiting records
  • Understand employer hiring needs
  • Improve our recruiting services and business processes
  • Operate and maintain our website and supporting systems
  • Fulfill contractual and legal obligations

We may retain relevant professional information to consider individuals for future opportunities.

3.Candidate Submissions and Information Sharing

We may share relevant candidate information with prospective employers in connection with specific recruiting opportunities.

Our practice is to obtain a candidate’s permission before submitting their resume or formally presenting them for a specific position.

We may also share personal information with service providers that support our operations, including providers of email, data storage, business communications, recruiting software, and other technology services.

These providers may process information on our behalf in connection with the services they provide.

We may disclose information when required by law, to respond to lawful requests, or to protect legal rights and legitimate business interests.

Information may also be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale, or restructuring of our business, subject to applicable law.

We do not sell personal information to data brokers.

4.Candidate Confidentiality

We recognize that exploring career opportunities can be sensitive, particularly for individuals who are currently employed.

We strive to handle candidate information discreetly and respect the confidentiality of professional conversations.

Candidates may identify employers or organizations they do not wish to have contacted regarding their candidacy.

We encourage candidates to communicate any confidentiality concerns or restrictions during the recruiting process.

5.Technology and AI-Assisted Processing

We may use software and artificial intelligence tools to support recruiting activities, including organizing professional information, summarizing communications, identifying relevant qualifications, and evaluating potential matches between candidates and employment opportunities.

These tools are intended to support professional judgment rather than replace it.

We do not rely solely on automated processing to make final decisions about which candidates we submit to employers.

When using third-party technology providers, we seek to handle personal information in accordance with applicable privacy and security requirements.

6.Sensitive Personal Information

Our recruiting activities generally focus on professional qualifications, experience, and career preferences.

We do not routinely request sensitive personal information unrelated to recruiting needs, such as medical information, Social Security numbers, or financial account credentials.

If sensitive information is provided voluntarily or is otherwise collected when legally permitted and necessary, we will handle it with appropriate care and in accordance with applicable law.

7.Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to support recruiting services, maintain professional relationships, fulfill business obligations, and comply with legal requirements.

Because recruiting relationships may continue over time, we may retain professional profiles and related information for consideration in future opportunities.

Individuals may request deletion or correction of their information. We will review these requests and take appropriate action, subject to applicable legal obligations and legitimate recordkeeping needs.

8.Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

Access to personal information is limited according to legitimate business needs.

No electronic storage or communication system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9.Cookies and Website Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support basic functionality, security, and website performance.

Our website hosting and technology providers may collect certain technical information when visitors access the site.

If we introduce additional analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies, we will update this policy and provide any additional notices or choices required by applicable law.

Visitors may be able to manage cookies through their browser settings.

  • Request information about personal data we maintain about you
  • Correct or update inaccurate professional information
  • Request deletion of your information
  • Ask us to discontinue recruiting communications
  • Withdraw permission for future candidate submissions
  • Raise concerns about our handling of personal information

We will consider and respond to requests in accordance with applicable law. Certain information may be retained where necessary for legal, contractual, or legitimate business purposes.

11.Third-Party Services and Websites

Our website or communications may contain links to third-party websites and professional networking platforms.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external services. We encourage individuals to review their applicable privacy policies.

12.Children’s Privacy

Our website and recruiting services are intended for adult professionals and business organizations.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through our website. If we become aware that such information has been collected, we will take appropriate steps to remove it.
