How We Handle Your Information

Last updated: March 2026

Our Commitment

Discretion is not a feature of our practice — it's the foundation. When candidates, clients, or prospective clients share information with us, we treat it with the same care we'd expect them to extend to us. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.

Information We Collect

We collect information you share directly with us: your name, contact details, professional background, and any materials you submit through our intake forms, email correspondence, or website. When you visit mapledriven.com, we may also collect standard server logs and analytics data through Google Analytics to understand how the site is used. We do not sell this data.

How We Use It

Information you share is used to conduct and support retained search engagements, communicate with you about relevant opportunities or inquiries, and improve the quality of our service. We do not add candidates to outreach lists without a specific reason for reaching out. We do not share your information with third parties without your explicit consent, except where required by law.

Confidentiality of Active Searches

Client identities and the details of active searches are held in strict confidence. We do not disclose which firms we are working with, or the nature of a role, without the client's consent. Candidate identities are similarly protected — we do not submit a candidate's name or materials to a client without the candidate's prior knowledge.

Data Retention

We retain professional information about candidates and clients for as long as it is reasonably useful for supporting the search process or maintaining the relationship. If you'd like us to remove your information from our records, contact us directly and we'll do so promptly.

Cookies & Analytics

Our website uses cookies to support basic functionality and site analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns — not to track individuals. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.
