SMS and Mobile Information

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.

Information Sharing

ABF LLC does not sell personal information.

We may share relevant professional information with clients or business partners only when appropriate for consulting, staffing, recruiting, or engagement-related purposes. For example, if a candidate is being considered for a client opportunity, relevant resume, experience, availability, and professional information may be shared with that client as part of the recruiting or consulting process.

We may also use trusted service providers, such as phone, email, hosting, document, business software, or communication providers, solely to support our operations. These providers are not permitted to use personal information for their own marketing purposes.

We may disclose information when required by law, regulation, legal process, contractual obligation, or to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of ABF LLC, our clients, candidates, consultants, or others.

Candidate Choice and Opt-Out

Candidates and business contacts may request that ABF LLC stop contacting them at any time.

For SMS messages, reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance.

Data Retention

ABF LLC retains information for as long as reasonably necessary for business, recruiting, consulting, client relationship, legal, contractual, or compliance purposes.
