CookTech is operated by Cook Technology Corp., a Florida corporation headquartered in Jacksonville, FL. This notice covers information we collect from visitors, applicants, and active tech-owners.
From visitors
- Aggregated analytics only. No cookies, no cross-site tracking.
- Inbound contacts are purged within 12 months if you don't apply or go active.
From applicants
When you submit the application form, we collect: name, contact info, licenses held, vehicle info, and the work history you provide. We verify identity and, with your written consent, run a background check appropriate to the role.
By submitting the application, you authorize CookTech (and its background-check provider) to verify identity, work history, driving record, and criminal history where permitted by law. You will receive a separate written disclosure and summary of your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act before a consumer report is obtained. You can withdraw consent at any time before the check runs, and request a copy of any report obtained about you.
From active tech-owners
- Onboarding paperwork: I-9, W-9 or W-4, direct-deposit, certifications, insurance certificates.
- Dispatch data: job tickets, closeout photos, time on site, client acceptance.
- Pay records: earnings, reimbursements, 1099/W-2, as required by federal and Florida law.
What we don't do
- We don't sell applicant or owner data.
- We don't share owner pay data with clients.
- We don't share a tech's performance metrics with other techs unless you explicitly opt in to a peer leaderboard.
Retention
Applicant files that don't become hires are purged within 12 months. Active tech-owner records are retained for the duration of the relationship plus the period required by tax, labor, and insurance law (typically 7 years).
Your rights
Email website@cooktech.us to request access, correction, or deletion of your data. We respond within 30 days. Florida residents have additional rights; we'll honor them.
