Effective Date: January 1, 2023

This Notice describes how Evolve Treatment Center (together with its relevant subsidiaries, associates, and affiliated companies), “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) processes personal information (“PI”) of Personnel (defined below) in various human resources (“HR”) contexts. This Notice is designed to meet obligations under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the “CCPA”). In the event of a conflict between any other Company policy, statement, or notice and this Notice, this Notice will prevail as to California Personnel, unless stated otherwise. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Notice shall have the meanings given to them under the CCPA.

Applicability: This Notice applies to the following California residents who provided us with PI in HR contexts:

• Job applicants who have applied for a position with Company.
• Current/former employees of Company.
• Independent contractors of Company.

This Notice also applies to California residents whose family member or friend has provided PI about you to Company in an HR context, such as if:

• You are listed as an emergency contact for a Company employee or former employee.
• You are a beneficiary or dependent of a Company employee or former employee.

The individuals referred to in the foregoing bullet points are collectively referred to as “Personnel” throughout this Notice. Section 1 of this Notice provides notice of our data practices, including our collection, use, retention, and disclosure of Personnel PI. Sections 2-4 of this Notice provide information regarding California Personnel rights under the CCPA and how you may exercise them.

Non-Applicability: This Notice does not apply to our consumer facing website(s) or our other data practices outside of the human resources context, which are addressed in our general privacy notice available here.

1. Notice of Data Practices

The description of our data practices in this Notice covers the twelve (12) months prior to the Effective Date and will be updated at least annually. Our data practices may differ between updates, however, if materially different from this Notice, we will provide supplemental pre-collection notice of the current practices, which may include references to other privacy policies, notices, or statements. Otherwise, this Notice serves as our notice at collection.

A. PI Sources and Use

We may collect your PI directly from you, such as when you apply for a position or become employed or engaged by us (e.g., identification/identity data, contact details, educational and employment data), others through interactions in the course of employment or engagement, third parties (e.g., background check vendors and references), social media and professional networking services, or public sources of data.

Generally, we use Personnel PI for HR Business Purposes and as otherwise related to the operation of our business, including for: Performing Services; Managing Interactions and Transactions; Security; Debugging; Advertising and Marketing; Quality Assurance; Processing Interactions and Transactions; and Research and Development. For example, we use Personnel PI for the following purposes:

• Recruitment
• Running background checks
• Employee intake/ onboarding/ off-boarding
• Maintaining personnel records
• Payroll, reimbursements, and timekeeping
• Processing leaves of absence
• Processing workers’ compensation claims
• Booking employee travel
• Benefits administration
• Employee activation initiatives and communications
• Facilitating diversity and inclusion programs
• Administering training and education programs
• HR IT systems and security
• Employee and performance management
• Health & safety/occupational health
• Security (including electronic and of premises)

We may also use PI for “Additional Business Purposes” in a context that is not a Sale or Share under the CCPA, such as:

• Disclosing it to our Service Providers, Contractors, or Processors that perform services for us (“Vendors”);
• Disclosing it to you or to other parties at your direction or through your action (e.g., payroll processors, benefits providers, some software platform operators, etc.);
• For the additional purposes explained at the time of collection (such as in the applicable privacy policy or notice);
• As required or permitted by applicable law;
• To the government or private parties to comply with law or legal process or protect or enforce legal rights or obligations or prevent harm;
• Where we believe we need to in order to investigate, prevent or take action if we think someone might be using information for illegal activities, fraud, or in ways that may threaten someone’s safety or violate our policies or legal obligations; and
• To assignees as part of an acquisition, merger, asset sale, or other transaction where another party assumes control over all or part of our business (“Corporate Transaction”).

Subject to restrictions and obligations under the CCPA, our Vendors may also use your PI for Business Purposes and Additional Business Purposes, and may engage their own vendors to enable them to perform services for us.

There may be additional information we collect that meets the definition of PI under the CCPA but is not reflected by a category above, in which case we will treat it as PI as required, but will not include it when we describe our practices by PI category. Because there are numerous types of PI in each category, and various uses for each PI type, actual retention periods vary. We retain specific PI pieces based on how long we have a legitimate purpose for the retention.
