Westmont Group provides legal recruitment and executive search services for law firms and attorneys. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information collected through westmontfirm.com and in the course of our work.
Information We Collect
We collect only what we need to do our work well and discreetly.
- Information you provide. When you contact us through the site, we collect your name, email address, firm or current employer, and the details of your inquiry.
- Candidate and engagement information. In the course of a search, we may hold a candidate's professional history, credentials, and preferences, shared with us directly or with permission.
- Technical information. Standard, non-identifying details such as browser type and pages visited, used to keep the site working and secure.
How We Use Information
We use the information you share to:
- Respond to your inquiry and conduct or support a search.
- Present qualified candidates to a hiring firm, or suitable opportunities to a candidate, with appropriate consent.
- Communicate with you about an engagement.
- Meet our legal and professional obligations.
We do not sell your information, and we do not share it for advertising.
Confidentiality
Discretion is central to legal recruiting. We treat candidate identities and firm searches as confidential, and we share information only with the parties to a search, only as needed, and only with consent. A candidate's current employer is never contacted without permission.
How We Protect Information
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we limit access to information to those who need it for a specific engagement.
Sharing With Service Providers
We may use trusted service providers to operate our site and communications, such as hosting and email delivery. These providers process information on our behalf, under obligations of confidentiality, and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
Your Choices
- You may ask us what information we hold about you, and request that we correct or delete it, subject to our legal and professional obligations.
- You may ask to be removed from our communications at any time.
- To make any request, email us at the address below.
Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, to maintain the relationships our work depends on, or to meet legal requirements. When information is no longer needed, we dispose of it securely.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date above. Material changes will be reflected here.
