Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

The PEO People (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates ThePEOPeople.com and related websites associated with our PEO brokerage services, including SBE479.org. We help businesses compare and evaluate PEO providers. We are an independent broker—we represent your business, not a single PEO vendor.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our websites, online forms, chat tools, scheduling pages, and other digital channels that link to this policy.

2. Information we collect

We collect information in three general ways: information you provide, information collected automatically, and information from third-party tools we use to operate the site.

Information you provide

When you fill out a form, schedule a call, use our chat assistant, subscribe to content, or otherwise contact us, we may collect:

• Name (first and last)
• Business email address
• Phone number
• Company name
• State or location
• Information about your business needs (for example, employee count, industry, payroll or benefits details submitted through our savings calculator)
• Any message, question, or file you choose to send us

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or health information through our general website forms. Please do not submit that type of information unless we specifically request it through a secure process.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our site, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information, such as:

• IP address and general geographic location derived from it
• Browser type, device type, and operating system
• Pages viewed, links clicked, and time spent on the site
• Referring website or marketing source
• Cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide PEO comparison, quote, and consultation services
• Schedule and conduct calls or meetings you request
• Send requested downloads, newsletters, or follow-up information
• Improve our website, marketing, and client experience
• Measure advertising and lead-generation performance
• Protect our website against fraud, abuse, and security issues
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

By submitting a form on our site, you agree that we may contact you by phone, email, or text about your request. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time using the instructions in those messages or by contacting us directly.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in these situations:

• Service providers. With vendors that help us operate our website, manage leads, host data, provide analytics, deliver email, or support chat and scheduling tools. These providers are authorized to use your information only as needed to perform services for us.
• PEO partners and referral relationships. When you ask us to compare providers or request quotes, we may share relevant business contact and qualification details with PEO companies or partners so they can prepare proposals for your review.
• Legal and safety reasons. When required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of The PEO People, our users, or others.
• Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses cookies and related technologies to remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and support marketing measurement. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site features.

We may use tools such as Google Tag Manager and analytics or advertising partners to understand traffic sources and campaign performance. Those providers may set their own cookies or collect information according to their privacy policies.

6. Third-party services

Our site integrates with third-party services that may collect information when you interact with them, including:

• Google Tag Manager — website tagging and analytics management
• LeadPost — lead attribution and marketing measurement
• Salesforce — customer relationship management and lead handling for form submissions
• Calendly — appointment scheduling
• Vengo AI — website chat assistance
• LinkedIn — social links and related platform policies when you choose to interact with us there

These services are governed by their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies if you use features powered by third parties.

7. Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including responding to your request, maintaining business records, meeting legal requirements, and resolving disputes. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and how it was collected.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to:

• Request access to personal information we maintain about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of certain information, subject to legal exceptions
• Opt out of marketing emails or promotional calls and texts
• Limit certain uses of cookies through your browser or device settings

10. California privacy notice

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information as defined by California law.

California residents may submit requests by emailing hello@thepeopeople.com or calling 215-990-0024. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

11. Children’s privacy

Our website and services are intended for business users and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

12. Links to other websites

Our site may link to third-party websites, including PEO providers, document downloads, and social media platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies before providing personal information.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be posted elsewhere on the site. Your continued use of the website after an update means you accept the revised policy.
