Applicant Privacy Notice

Last Updated: October 20, 2026

Blue River Behavioral Health (“we,” “our,” “us”) respects your privacy. Here we explain what we collect when you apply for a job. We also explain how we use it, who sees it, and your choices. Please read the notice before you submit your application.

The notice covers job applicants only. It does not cover information we collect from clients or visitors to our website.

Information We Collect

We collect the information you give us when you apply. It includes:

  • Your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address
  • Your preferred contact method
  • The position and employment type you are applying for
  • Your earliest available start date
  • Your resume and cover letter, including your work history, education, licenses, certifications, and any other details you include
  • Anything else you choose to share with us during the hiring process, such as interview notes or reference contacts

If you receive an offer, we may collect more information. Examples include background check results, reference feedback, and confirmation of your license and credentials.

Please do not include your Social Security number, financial account numbers, or health information in your application materials. We do not need them to review your application.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Review your qualifications and decide whether to move you forward
  • Contact you about your application, interviews, and next steps
  • Verify your credentials, licenses, and work history
  • Complete background and reference checks after a contingent offer
  • Keep records of our hiring process
  • Meet legal and regulatory requirements
  • Improve how we recruit and hire

We do not use your application information for marketing.

Text Messages

If you check the SMS consent box, you agree to receive texts from us about your application. These may include interview scheduling and status updates. We send them to the mobile number you provide.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP at any time to opt out. Consent to text messages is optional and is not required to apply or to be hired. You can also ask us to contact you by phone or email instead.

Background, Reference, and Credential Checks

Any offer depends on a satisfactory background check, reference checks, and verification of your license and credentials. We run these checks only after a contingent offer, and only as the law allows. If a third party runs a background check, we will give you the notices the law requires. We will also request any required authorizations.

Who Sees Your Information

Members of our team who take part in hiring can see your application. They include human resources, hiring managers, and interviewers.

We may also share your information with service providers who help us hire. Examples include applicant tracking, background screening, text messaging, email, and website hosting providers. They may use your information only to perform services for us.

We may disclose your information when the law requires it, such as to respond to a valid legal request. We may also disclose it to protect the rights, safety, or property of our company, our clients, or others. We do not sell your application information.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep application records for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. If we hire you, your application becomes part of your employee file. After the retention period, we delete or de-identify your information.

How We Protect Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, and misuse. No system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of information you send over the internet.

Your Choices

You may ask us to:

  • Tell you what application information we hold about you
  • Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete
  • Delete your application information
  • Withdraw your application at any time

We will honor these requests as the law allows. We may need to keep some records to meet legal obligations. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may ask you to confirm your identity first.

Equal Employment Opportunity

Blue River Behavioral Health is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all qualified applicants without regard to any characteristic protected by law.
