7. California Applicant Privacy Notice

BridgePoint is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA"). This section supplements the disclosures above for California residents who express interest in employment or professional opportunities with BridgePoint. Covered applicant information is not exempt solely because BridgePoint is a mortgage company.

As of the effective date, BridgePoint reports no applicant records collected or disclosed to outside recipients for a business purpose during the preceding 12 months. The categories, sources, purposes, and recipients described above explain prospective recruiting practices, not a claim that each category was collected during that period. BridgePoint has not sold applicant information or shared it for cross-context behavioral advertising during the preceding 12 months.

• Categories of Information: We may collect identifiers, professional or employment-related information, voluntarily submitted application materials, internet or electronic network activity information, and inferences reasonably derived from information submitted for recruiting purposes.
• Purposes: We collect and use this information for recruiting, candidate evaluation, communications, licensing verification, security, legal compliance, and related business purposes described in this Notice.
• Sensitive Personal Information: Our general Careers form is not designed to request sensitive personal information. If additional sensitive information is required during a later stage of the hiring process, BridgePoint will provide appropriate disclosures.
• Retention: Applicant information is retained according to the criteria described in Section 5 and applicable legal retention requirements.
• Sale or Sharing: BridgePoint does not sell or share applicant personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
• California Privacy Rights: Where applicable, California residents may exercise rights to know, access, correct, delete, or receive information about the use of their personal information, subject to applicable exceptions. We will not unlawfully discriminate or retaliate against individuals for exercising applicable privacy rights.

This Notice should be read together with BridgePoint’s general website Privacy Policy, where applicable.

For California rights, request procedures, identity verification, authorized agents, and response timing, see Section 9 of our Privacy Policy. You do not need to create an account to submit a request.

8. Future Recruiting Opportunities

If you indicate that you would like to be considered for future opportunities, BridgePoint may retain your professional information and contact you regarding potentially relevant positions or professional relationships. You may request that we discontinue future recruiting outreach by contacting us.

Submitting a Careers form does not automatically enroll you in unrelated promotional email or text-message marketing campaigns.

9. Changes to This Notice

BridgePoint may update this Applicant Privacy Notice to reflect changes in our recruiting practices, technology, legal requirements, or business operations. When changes are made, the effective date at the top of this Notice will be updated. Material changes will be communicated when required by applicable law.
