Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 22, 2026
Adkisson Search Consultants (“Adkisson,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an executive and healthcare search firm. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website, adkissonsearchconsultants.com (the “Site”), how we use and share it, and the choices you have.
By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect

- Your resume, CV, cover letter, and any other documents you upload
- Your employment history, education, licenses, certifications, and career goals

Please don’t include sensitive personal information in your resume or messages unless it’s needed for a position you’re pursuing. This includes Social Security numbers, health or medical information, financial account numbers, and details about race, religion, or other protected characteristics.
Information we collect automatically
When you visit the Site, we and our analytics providers automatically collect some technical information about your visit, including:
- Browser type, device type, operating system, and screen size
- Pages you view, links you click, and how long you stay
- How you got to the Site, such as the referring website or search engine
- Your approximate location (city or region), based on your IP address
- Mouse movements, clicks, scrolling, and other on-page activity
We collect this information with cookies and similar technologies, as described in Section 3.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiries and communicate with you
- Review your qualifications and consider you for current and future positions
- Contact you about job opportunities that may interest you
- Present your candidacy to our client organizations, with your knowledge
- Communicate with current and prospective clients about our search services
- Run, maintain, and improve the Site and understand how visitors use it
- Protect the Site from fraud, abuse, or security threats
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our rights
3. Cookies and Analytics
We use two third-party analytics services to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve it. We don’t use these tools to identify you personally.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service from Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often you visit the Site, which pages you view, and which sites referred you to us. We use it only to measure and improve the Site’s performance. To learn more about how Google uses this data, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. To stop Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Microsoft Clarity
We partner with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay. We use this information to improve our products and services, including finding usability problems and improving the Site’s layout and content. Website usage data is captured using first-party and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the popularity of products and services and online activity. We also use this information for site optimization and fraud/security purposes. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
Clarity session recordings are set up to mask text you type into form fields, so the contents of your submissions aren’t captured in recordings.
Managing cookies
Most web browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. If you do, some parts of the Site may not work as intended.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We share information only in these situations:
- With client organizations. If you’re a candidate, we may share your resume, qualifications, and related information with client organizations considering you for a position. We normally discuss an opportunity with you before we present your candidacy.
- With service providers. We use trusted vendors to help run our business, such as website hosting, email, analytics, and applicant or client management software. They may access personal information only to perform services for us.
- For legal reasons. We may disclose information if the law requires it, or to respond to lawful requests from public authorities, protect our rights or property, or protect anyone’s safety.
- In a business transfer. If Adkisson is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
- With your consent. We may share information in other ways when you ask us to or agree to it.
5. Resumes and CVs
Resumes and CVs submitted through the Site go directly to our staff. They are never posted publicly on the Site. We keep submitted resumes so that we can consider you for future opportunities that fit your background. If you’d like us to remove your resume from our records, contact us as described in Section 11.
6. Data Retention
We keep personal information for as long as we reasonably need it for the purposes in this policy. That includes keeping candidate information so we can consider you for future searches, unless you ask us to delete it. We may keep some information longer if the law requires it or if we need it to resolve disputes or enforce our agreements.
7. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the personal information we hold. However, no method of sending data over the internet or storing it electronically is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Choices and Rights
You may ask us to:
- Tell you what personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate or out-of-date information
- Delete your personal information
- Stop contacting you about opportunities or services
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws, such as the right to opt out of certain types of processing. We will honor these requests as the law requires. To make a request, contact us as described in Section 11. We may need to verify your identity before we complete your request. We won’t discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
To stop receiving emails from us, follow the unsubscribe instructions in the email or contact us directly.
9. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
10. Third-Party Links
The Site may link to other websites that we don’t operate. We aren’t responsible for those sites’ privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
