Under Washington's My Health My Data Act and comparable laws in several other states, any business that collects “consumer health data” has to publish a policy describing how it handles it.
This page exists to state plainly that GroomerHires does not collect that kind of data.
About GroomerHires
GroomerHires publishes pet grooming and pet care job ads and career guides for groomers, bathers, grooming assistants, salon staff, kennel and daycare attendants, dog trainers, walkers and pet sitters.
Grooming and kennel work is physical, with lifting dogs onto tables and standing for long shifts, and some employers ask about allergies or run a pre-hire screen, but any such question or check happens between the employer and the applicant, without GroomerHires.
We offer no medical, health or wellness services of any kind, and we do not ask visitors about their health, medical history or physical ability to work.
GroomerHires is not a health care provider, health plan or health care clearinghouse, and no medical records, test results or insurance claims are handled by the site.
Health information that stays off GroomerHires
Consumer health data, as defined by Washington's My Health My Data Act and laws like it in other states, is not something GroomerHires gathers, uses, shares or sells.
So GroomerHires keeps nothing about:
- anyone's physical or mental health conditions, diagnoses, treatments, medicines or medical devices;
- pre-employment screens, physical ability checks, allergy questions or any other health review connected to a job;
- health care a person searched for, booked or received;
- biometric or genetic information;
- exact location data that could reveal a visit to a doctor, clinic, lab or other health facility;
- conclusions about any of the above drawn from how you use GroomerHires.
Job seekers do not create accounts on GroomerHires, and each application, including any health form or document an applicant chooses to attach, goes directly to the employer behind the job ad.
We also do not collect health or vaccination records for anyone's pets.
We have no reason to see health information in order to help you, so please leave it out of emails to support.
The small amount of data we do hold, from employers that buy job ads and from routine server logs, is covered in our Privacy Policy if you would like more detail.
Should this change
Before GroomerHires starts collecting any consumer health data, we will update this policy and put in place the notice and consent that the law requires.
