Workforce Connect LLC DBA Shoralink (“Shoralink”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you engage with us to find work or hire talent.
We operate globally, connecting United States-based clients with independent contractors across Latin America. We are committed to compliance with applicable data protection laws in the United States and the local jurisdictions where our talent resides.
For Clients: Shoralink acts as a Data Processor for certain business operations data you entrust to us, processing it solely on your behalf and in accordance with your instructions.
We collect only the information necessary to facilitate contractor management, compliance, and cross-border payments. The types of data we collect include:

While we utilize technology to assist in sourcing and matching talent, we do not use fully automated decision-making or Artificial Intelligence (AI) to make final engagement decisions. All final decisions regarding contractor engagements are reviewed by human specialists.
We do not sell your personal information to data brokers. We share data with specific partners strictly to operate our business:

We implement reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security measures designed to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
