We aren't just another staffing agency; we are THE #1 Choice for facilities and agencies across the United States that require specialized, direct-hire talent. Our GSA-approved status and specialized focus mean we handle sensitive information with the highest degree of professionalism and legal rigor.

This document serves as our comprehensive Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions. It is designed to provide you with absolute clarity on how we manage your data and the rules governing the use of our specialized recruitment services. By engaging with our website or services, you are choosing a partner dedicated to transparency, security, and the efficient staffing of our nation’s most critical infrastructure.

​

PART I: PRIVACY POLICY

Protecting your personal and professional information is not just a legal requirement for us: it is a core business value. Whalls Group LLC, located at 95 Argonaut, Suite 200, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656, is committed to being the industry leader in data integrity for the recruitment and staffing sector.

​

1. Information We Collect

To provide world-class direct-hire services, we must collect specific information that allows us to vet, verify, and place the highest quality candidates in correctional facilities and law enforcement agencies. We collect information ONLY when it is necessary for the provision of our services.

The data we collect includes, but is not limited to:

• Personal Identification: Your full legal name, date of birth, and contact details (email address, physical address, and phone number).

• Professional History: Comprehensive resumes, employment history, certifications, training records, and educational background.

• Verification Data: Professional references, licensing information, and any specific clearances required for law enforcement roles.

• Digital Interaction Data: Information provided through our online forms, virtual meeting platforms, and email correspondence.

We gather this information directly from you through our website portals, during virtual interviews, and via direct communication with our dedicated marketing and recruitment specialists.

 

2. How We Use Your Information

We don't collect data just for the sake of having it. Every piece of information we request is utilized to solve the staffing crisis in the corrections industry. We use your data to:

• Facilitate Recruitment Services: We match your skills and experience with the specific needs of our client facilities.

• Direct-Hire Placement: We streamline the connection between qualified candidates and the facilities that need them most, reducing vacancy rates and improving safety.

• Effective Communication: We keep you informed about job opportunities, interview schedules, and the status of your applications.

• Operational Excellence: We analyze data to improve our recruitment strategies, ensuring we remain the most efficient GSA-approved agency in the field.

 

3. Data Sharing: Strict and Targeted

Your privacy is paramount. Whalls Group does NOT sell your personal data to third-party marketers. We share your information ONLY with:

• Client Facilities: Potential employers in the corrections and law enforcement sectors who are actively looking to fill positions.

• Government Entities: As a GSA-approved agency, we comply with all federal and state reporting requirements necessary for the hiring process.

• Service Providers: Trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website and conducting our business, provided they agree to keep this information strictly confidential.

​

4. Security and Storage

Operating in the law enforcement sector requires a higher standard of security. We implement robust technical and organizational measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Whether your data is stored on our secure servers or in cloud-based recruitment platforms, we treat your information with the same level of care that we bring to our professional staffing services.

​

5. Your Rights

You maintain control over your information. At any time, you have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

• Correction: Ask us to update or correct any information that is inaccurate or incomplete.

• Deletion: Request that we remove your data from our active recruitment database, subject to certain legal and contractual obligations.

To exercise these rights, simply contact our team at our Aliso Viejo office. We're here to help.

​

Our primary service is direct-hire recruitment, where we identify, vet, and present qualified candidates to client facilities for permanent employment. We serve as the bridge between top-tier talent and the agencies that protect our communities.

 

3. User Conduct

When using our platform, you agree to:

• Provide Truthful Information: All resumes, credentials, and contact details must be accurate and honest. Misrepresentation in the law enforcement sector is a serious matter and will result in immediate disqualification from our services.

4. Intellectual Property

All content on this website: including text, graphics, logos, images, and software: is the exclusive property of Whalls Group LLC.

​

5. Limitation of Liability: We Are Recruiters, Not Law Enforcement

It is critical to understand the scope of our business. Whalls Group is a recruitment and staffing agency. While we specialize in the law enforcement and corrections industries, we are not a law enforcement agency ourselves.

Therefore:

• Final Hiring Authority: Whalls Group does not make the final hiring decision. All final employment offers and background clearances are determined solely by the client facility or government agency.

• Employment Relationship: Once a candidate is placed through our direct-hire service, the employment relationship exists exclusively between the candidate and the hiring facility. Whalls Group is not liable for any actions, omissions, or disputes that arise during the course of employment.

• No Guarantees: While we are the industry leaders in placement, we do not guarantee employment for any candidate or the long-term performance of any hire for a facility.

​

6. Governing Law

These terms and any disputes arising from them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action or proceeding related to your access to, or use of, the site shall be instituted in a state or federal court in Orange County, California.

 

WHY WHALLS GROUP IS THE INDUSTRY STANDARD

In a world of generalist recruiters, Whalls Group stands alone. We are solving the most complex staffing challenges in the most difficult environments. By maintaining these rigorous Privacy and Terms & Conditions, we ensure that every warden, sheriff, and candidate who works with us is protected by a framework of professional integrity.

We are solving the vacancy crisis one facility at a time. We've built a reputation on being GSA Approved and specialized: it's what makes us the first call for correctional leaders nationwide.
