Last Updated: July 2026

This Privacy Policy outlines how BBSI collects, uses, and safeguards personal information from visitors, customers, applicants, and others who interact with our website or services.

Barrett Business Services, Inc. (“BBSI,” the “Company,” or “we”) has developed this policy (the “Privacy Policy”) out of respect for the privacy of our customers, visitors to our website, job applicants, and independent contractors. This Privacy Policy describes the personal information we collect, use, and disclose about individual consumers, applicants, and contractors who visit or interact with this website, visit any of our offices, facilities or locations, purchase or inquire about any of our products or services, contract with us to provide services, apply for a position of employment, or otherwise interact or do business with us (collectively, the “Services”).

Whenever you visit our website, we will collect some information from you automatically simply by you visiting and navigating through this site, and some voluntarily when you submit information using a form on the website, enroll in or subscribe to our newsletter or marketing communications, request information, or use any of the other interactive portions of our website. Through this website, we will collect information that can identify you and/or your activity.

Additionally, whenever you communicate, interact or do business with us, whether online or at any of our physical locations or facilities, or whether you are contracted to perform services for us or apply for a position of employment, we will be collecting personal information from you or about you in the course of our interaction or dealings with you.

This Privacy Policy applies to information BBSI collects through the Services, as well as other information provided to us online or offline by third parties, when we associate that information with customers or users of the Services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to our current and former employees and their family members, dependents, and beneficiaries; if you are a California resident who is a current or former employee of the Company or a family member, dependent, or beneficiary of any of our current or former employees, you may request access to our Employee Privacy Policy by sending an email to privacy@bbsi.com.

This Privacy Policy describes, among other things:

  • Personal and other information we collect about you;
  • How we use your information;
  • How we may share your information with third parties; and
  • Your choices regarding the personal information we collect about you.

Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Every time you use the Services (e.g., access a Service webpage), we collect certain information regarding that use. For example, to improve our Services, we collect how, when, and which parts of the Services or their features you use, and which social media platforms you link to the Services. Also, we may use your device’s unique identifier (UDID) or other unique identifiers to assist us in collecting and analyzing this data.

To assist us in collecting and storing this information, we may employ a variety of technologies, including “cookies,” local browser storage, and “web beacons,” “pixels,” or “tags.” “Cookies” are small files that a website may transfer to a user’s computer that reside there for either the duration of the browsing session (session cookies) or on a permanent, until deleted, basis (persistent cookies) that may be used to identify a user, a user’s machine, or a user’s behavior. A web beacon, pixel or tag is a small, usually-transparent image placed on a web page that allows the operator of that image, which may be the operator of the website you visit or a third party, to read or write a Cookie. We make use of cookies and related technologies under the following circumstances and for the following reasons:

  • Provide you with Services available through the website and to enable you to use some of its features;
  • Authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts;
  • Identify if users have accepted or declined the use of cookies on the website through our cookie consent banner;
  • Compile data about website traffic and how users use the website to offer a better website experience;
  • Understand and save visitor preferences for future visits, such as remembering your login details or language preference, to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you use the website; and
  • Track your browsing habits to enable us to show advertising which is more likely to be of interest to you, including advertising by third parties on our website.

You may delete cookies from your web browser at any time or block cookies on your equipment, but this may affect the functioning of or even block the website. You can prevent saving of cookies (disable and delete them) by changing your browser settings accordingly at any time. It is possible that some functions will not be available on our website when use of cookies is deactivated. Check the settings of your browser. Below you can find some guidance:

More information about managing cookies is available here. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for your local browser storage, please refer to the end user documentation for your browser.

Online Tool Providers, cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, and similar third party technologies are collectively referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Tracking Technologies.” BBSI uses Tracking Technologies to help identify and track visitors, analyze how the Services are used, and understand user preferences. These Tracking Technologies may collect information automatically, including Personal Information and Non-Personal Information, which are subject to the privacy policies of the applicable Tracking Technologies. BBSI does not control these Tracking Technologies’ data practices, and the use and disclosure of information collected by such Tracking Technologies are governed by the respective providers’ privacy policies. Certain Tracking Technologies may allow you to opt out of certain collection and/or uses of your information. For more information about the Tracking Technologies used by BBSI (and/or that we reserve the right to use), please see here:

External Links

Please note that the Services may link or integrate with third-party sites, services or apps. We are not responsible for the privacy or security policies or practices or the content of such third parties. To help ensure the protection of your privacy, we encourage that you review the privacy and security policies and terms of service of those third parties so that you understand how they collect, use, share and protect your information.

Passwords

The Personal Information record created through your registration with our website can only be accessed with the unique password associated with that record. To protect the integrity of the information contained in this record, you should not disclose or otherwise reveal your password to third parties.

Children Under the Age of 16

We do not knowingly sell or share the Personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

Information Security

The protection of the information that we collect about visitors to this website is of the utmost importance to us. We utilize reasonable information security measures to safeguard your Personal Information against unauthorized access, modification, or destruction. For example:

  • We keep automatically collected data and voluntarily collected data separate at all times.
  • We use Transport Layer Security (TLS), or similar encryption technology, when sensitive data is transmitted over the Internet, and use firewalls to help prevent external access into our network.
  • We use commercially reasonable tools and techniques to protect against unauthorized access to our systems.
  • We restrict access to private information to those who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, improve or support our Services.

However, no data transmission over the Internet and no method of data storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its security.

International Visitors

We do not target, market to, or offer our products or services to consumers outside of the United States. You agree not to submit your personally identifiable information through the website if you reside outside the United States.

Rights for California Residents Under the CCPA and CPRA

This section of the Privacy Policy (the “CCPA Notice”) applies only to California residents who are natural persons; it does not apply to any entities (whether business, non-profit or governmental).

For purposes of this CCPA Notice, “Sell,” “Selling,” “Sale,” or “Sold,” means selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, Personal Information to another business or a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.

“Share”, “Shared,” or “Sharing” means sharing, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, Personal Information to a third party for Cross-context Behavioral Advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration.

  • A consumer’s Social Security, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number;
  • A consumer’s account log-in, financial account, debit card or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account;

How We Will Verify That it is Really You Submitting the Request

If you are a California resident, when you submit a Right to Know, Right to Access, Right to Delete, or Right to Correct request through one of the methods provided above, we will ask you to provide some information in order to verify your identity and respond to your request. Specifically, we will ask you to verify information that can be used to link your identity to particular records in our possession, which depends on the nature of your relationship and interaction with us to match against our records. For example, we may need you to provide your name, email, phone number, IP address, browser ID, amount of your last purchase with the business, and/or date of your last transaction with the business.

Responding to Your Right to Know, Right to Access, Right to Delete, and Right to Correct Requests

Upon receiving a verifiable request from a California resident, we will confirm receipt of the request no later than 10 business days after receiving it. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable request within forty-five (45) calendar days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to an additional 45 calendar days, or 90 calendar days total from the date we receive your request), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

For a request to correct inaccurate Personal Information, we will accept, review, and consider any documentation that you provide, and we may require that you provide documentation to rebut our own documentation that the Personal Information is accurate. You should make a good-faith effort to provide us with all necessary information at the time that you make the request to correct. We may deny a request to correct if we have a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that a request to correct is fraudulent or abusive. If we deny your request to correct, we shall inform you of our decision not to comply and provide an explanation as to why we believe the request is fraudulent.

If You Have an Authorized Agent:

If you are a California resident, you can authorize someone else as an authorized agent who can submit a request on your behalf. To do so, you must either (a) execute a valid, verifiable, and notarized power of attorney or (b) provide other written, signed authorization that we can then verify. When we receive a request submitted on your behalf by an authorized agent who does not have a power of attorney, that person will be asked to provide written proof that they have your permission to act on your behalf, and we will also contact you and ask you for information to verify your own identity directly with us and not through your authorized agent. We may deny a request from an authorized agent if the agent does not provide your signed permission demonstrating that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

Other California Privacy Rights

The California Civil Code permits California Residents with whom we have an established business relationship to request that we provide you with a list of certain categories of Personal Information that we have disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year. To make such a request, please send an email privacy@bbsi.com, or write to us at the address listed below. Please mention that you are making a “California Shine the Light” inquiry.
