 Philip Hsia, franchise owner of Jack in the Box, chats with CEO and Co-Founder of Workstream, Desmond Lim, about the challenges he faced in the hiring space as well as his top 3 favorite features of Workstream. Jack In The Box has been with Workstream for the past 4 months, and have posted 4 job posting since. They on-boarded Workstream for the two main values that were being offered, posting quality job posts and getting in candidates.

 

My name is Philip Hsia (P) and my parents got into franchising Jack in the boxes in 1989 when they immigrated from Taipei, Taiwan. And they were looking for a better opportunity for our family. We have 7 locations, and we’ve been running the Jack in the boxes for about 30 years.

In our industry, the turnover rate is 100%. So every year, we have a whole new crew. And so that was one of the biggest challenges I had to face. The problem that I encounter when I first joined my parents was hiring and bringing new people and new talent to our organization. The method that they were using was paper applications and referrals.

Desmond Lim (D), Co-Founder of Workstream: I met Phillip who runs Jack In A Box about one year ago. He had a strong need for hiring. It was very challenging for him to hire hourly workers. He has 7 stores across Silicon Valley and our team is based right here too. Since we’ve been able to connect, we’ve been able to help him overcome his challenge for hiring hourly workers.

P: Workstream has helped us in three different ways. One is the diversity of applicants. So we used to get paper only. Now applicants can text and submit online via phone. We’re actually getting a bunch of applicants we’ve never had before. The second is that they are an automation software.

When I worked with Workstream to set it up, I had all the questions that I wanted to screen for applicants, and they would automatically put it in to their system. Every time a new applicant comes in, they get filtered through these questions before they reached our district manager. This saves our district managers a lot of time because the applicants that they see have already been pre-screened and filtered.

The third thing which I found was actually my favorite, is working with the Customer Success Team. It actually releases a lot of time and stress from me. With the Customer Success, they are actually building the whole platform for us step-by-step. When we work together, I’m just basically there watching it all happen. From there, we need to just screen, interview and hire them.

D: Over the past one year of working with Phillip and with Jack In A Box, it’s been a great joy to learn from them more about hiring too. They’ve been very forward thinking. And I hope to have the chance to work more with brands and these businesses similar to them. To be able to help them hire even better.

Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information

Before we discuss the right to limit and the right to opt-out, we must first define personal information and how it relates to sensitive personal information.

Personal information is any data that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked to you or your household. A few examples of personal information include:

  • Name or nickname
  • Email address
  • Purchase history
  • Browsing history
  • Location data
  • Employment data
  • IP address
  • Profiles businesses create about you, including pseudonymous profiles (“user1234”)
  • Sensitive personal information

Sensitive personal information or “SPI” is a subset of personal information, defined as:

  • Identifying information (e.g. social security number, driver’s license)
  • Financial data (e.g. debit or credit card numbers)
  • Precise geolocation (within a radius of 1,850 feet)
  • Demographic or protected-class information (e.g. race/ethnicity, religion, union membership)
  • Biometric and genetic data (e.g. fingerprints, palm scans, facial recognition)
  • Communications and content (e.g. mail, email, text messages)
  • Health and sexual orientation (e.g. vaccine records, health history)

Right to Opt-Out

Californians have the right to opt-out of the sale and sharing of their personal information. That means you have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information to third parties (e.g. data brokers, advertisers). You also have the right to opt-out of the sharing of your personal information to prevent the targeting of ads across different businesses, websites, apps, or services.

CCPA-covered businesses must provide a link to allow you to exercise this right. It is usually found at the bottom of a webpage and will say “do not sell or share my personal information” or “your privacy choices.” Sometimes businesses offer privacy choices through a pop-up window or form

To opt-out of the sale and sharing of your personal information, click on the link or use the toggle provided by the business and follow the directions. Doing this on every website you visit can feel burdensome, but to ease the burden you can automatically select your privacy preferences for every website by using an opt-out preference signal, or OOPS for short.

An OOPS is a user-friendly and straightforward way for consumers to automatically exercise their right to opt-out of the sale and sharing of their personal information with the businesses they interact with online. An OOPS, such as the Global Privacy Control. It can either be a setting on your internet browser or a browser extension. With an OOPS, consumers do not have to submit individual requests to opt-out of sale or sharing with each business.

Right to Limit

Californians also have the right to direct businesses to limit the use and disclosure of their sensitive personal information.

Businesses covered under the CCPA must provide a link on their website that allows you to request the limiting of your SPI, if they plan on using it in certain ways. That link will also typically be at the bottom of a webpage and will say: “limit the use of my sensitive personal information” or “your privacy choices.” Once you send this request, the business must stop using your SPI for anything other than to:

  • Provide requested goods or services
  • Ensure security and integrity
  • Prevent fraud
  • Maintain system functionality
  • Comply with legal obligations

Bringing it Together

In summary, the CCPA gives you the right to opt-out of the sale and sharing of your personal information and gives you additional rights to further limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information.

When you exercise these rights together, you exert greater control in protecting your personal data which is important for your identity, safety, and financial health.

If you are on a business’s website and you can’t find the links to exercise your rights, remember to check their privacy policy. The privacy policy should tell you how you can exercise your rights under the law.

If you find your rights being violated, you can submit a complaint to CalPrivacy.

Next in the LOCKED series, we will explore the right to correct and right to know. Follow us on social media to get live updates or check back in one week for the next post.
