You also may want to understand what job sites know about you, and most of them provide an avenue for that. The California Consumer Privacy Act, which went into effect in 2020, allows consumers living in California to request information about what data a company has collected about them and how the company uses it. It also allows consumers the right to request inferences a company may have internally generated about them reflecting factors such as their preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, abilities and aptitudes. Most job sites honor these requests for all users, even those outside of California.
