SCD Builders (“SCD Builders,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a U.S.-based staffing and workforce solutions company serving the construction, skilled trades, engineering, and digital delivery (BIM/VDC/automation) sectors. We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly and in accordance with U.S. federal and state privacy laws. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, with whom we share it, how we protect it, how long we keep it, and what rights you have under United States law.
Who We Are and How to Contact Us
SCD Builders is the controller and business responsible for your personal information. Our headquarters are located at 926 Brady Avenue Northwest, Atlanta, GA 30318, United States. You may reach us by phone at +1 (346) 628-9677 or by email at careers@scdbuilders.com. This policy applies to our U.S. operations, including our website, our forms for clients and job seekers, our Employee Login portal, and all staffing, recruiting, onboarding, payroll, and managed workforce services.
Information We Collect
We may collect personal identifiers such as your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, and government identifiers when required by law or necessary for payroll and compliance. We may collect professional and employment information including résumé or CV, licenses and certifications, employment history, skills, work preferences, work authorization, references, and compensation expectations. During recruiting and evaluation we may collect interview notes, scheduling details, and assessment results. For workforce, payroll, and benefits purposes we may collect bank account details, tax forms, timekeeping data, job site or location, and enrollment information for benefits.
We may also process compliance and safety information including work authorization documents, safety training records, and where legally required, drug testing or medical fitness-for-duty results with appropriate consent. We collect limited website and system usage information such as IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and login events on the Employee portal. For business clients and vendors, we collect company name, title, role requirements, project scope, and contractual and billing information.
We treat sensitive personal information, such as Social Security Numbers, driver’s license numbers, and bank account details, as confidential and limit its use strictly to essential employment and compliance functions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 years of age, and our services are not directed to minors.
Sources of Information
We collect information directly from you through forms, email, phone, interviews, and the Employee Login portal. We receive information from clients describing project and role requirements. We work with service providers such as background check companies, payroll and benefits administrators, assessment vendors, and applicant tracking systems. We may use publicly available sources, licensing registries, and professional networks such as LinkedIn and job boards. We also collect information automatically through cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.
Purposes of Processing
We use personal information to recruit and place candidates, evaluate suitability for roles, present candidates to clients, coordinate interviews, and manage offers. We use information to onboard new hires, verify identity and work authorization, administer payroll and benefits, and manage assignments. We use information to provide services to clients, deliver managed team PODs, scope projects, and manage contracts. We use information for compliance with legal obligations, including tax, labor, OSHA, and immigration requirements, and for safety and security purposes. We use information to operate our business, maintain quality, conduct analytics, and improve our processes. With your consent where required, we may use your information to send updates about services or opportunities.
Legal Grounds
We process personal information to perform our contracts, to comply with federal and state legal obligations such as tax reporting and work eligibility, and for legitimate business purposes such as recruiting, service delivery, fraud prevention, and security. Where state law requires consent, such as for background checks or certain communications, we obtain it in advance.
Cookies and Tracking
We use essential cookies to ensure the functionality and security of our site and Employee portal. We use functional and analytical cookies to understand how the site is used and to improve content. We may in the future use marketing cookies, in which case we will update this policy and provide notice and choices. You may manage cookie settings in your browser. Blocking essential cookies may affect functionality. We currently do not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising. If that changes, we will update this policy and honor opt-out rights.
Automated Processing and Human Review
Our applicant tracking and HR tools may automatically rank or search candidate profiles based on skills, location, or other requirements. Final decisions are always reviewed and made by people. If you believe an automated filter has excluded you unfairly, you may contact us for human review.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose personal information to clients for recruiting and staffing purposes, to service providers and processors under contract such as payroll vendors, benefits administrators, background screeners with consent, cloud hosting providers, IT and security providers, and auditors. We may disclose information to professional advisors such as attorneys and accountants. We may disclose information to authorities where required by law. In the case of a corporate transaction such as a merger or acquisition, personal information may be transferred subject to this Privacy Policy.
Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Measures include access controls, encryption in transit, vendor assessments, and employee training. If a data breach occurs that triggers notification obligations, we will notify affected individuals and authorities in accordance with applicable laws.
Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described and to comply with legal obligations. As a general practice, applicant information may be retained for up to three years, hiring and selection records for up to three years after a process closes, I-9 forms for three years after hire or one year after termination (whichever is later), payroll and tax records for three to seven years, OSHA and safety logs for five years or as required by law, client and contract records for five to seven years, and website analytics for twelve to twenty-four months unless de-identified sooner. After retention periods expire, information is securely deleted or de-identified.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights to know what personal information we collect and use, to access a copy of it, to request correction of inaccuracies, to request deletion, to obtain portable copies of certain information, and to opt out of sales or sharing of personal information or certain types of profiling. SCD Builders does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You may also have the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information to essential business purposes.
To exercise your rights, you may email us at careers@scdbuilders.com with the subject “Privacy Request.” Please include your name, state of residence, your relationship with SCD Builders, and the right you wish to exercise. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. In states where required, you may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. In states with appeal rights, if we deny your request you may appeal by replying to our decision within the stated timeframe. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Drug or alcohol testing and medical fitness evaluations are conducted only where lawful, job-related, and with appropriate consent.
