4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as described below.
- Client businesses. We share relevant applicant and worker details (such as name, skills, availability, and assignment information) with the businesses where workers are placed.
- Government agencies. We share information with agencies such as the U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the U.S. Department of State, and state workforce agencies as required to process visas and meet legal obligations.
- Service providers. We use vendors for website hosting, applicant tracking, payroll, background checks, travel and housing arrangements, communications, and analytics. They may use your information only to perform services for us.
- Legal and safety reasons. We may disclose information to comply with law, a subpoena, or court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Garza Labor, our workers, customers, or others.

Measure traffic and page use so we can improve the Site (for example, Google Analytics) |
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some features may stop working. To opt out of Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Where required by law, we honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a request to opt out of targeted advertising or sharing. The Site does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals, because no common standard for them exists.
6. Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy, or longer when the law requires it. Labor and immigration laws require us to keep certain records, such as H-2A and H-2B job orders, payroll, and work authorization documents, for set periods after employment ends. Applicant information that does not lead to a hire is generally kept for [two (2)] years so we can consider you for future openings, unless you ask us to delete it sooner. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or make it anonymous.
7. Data Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. These include encryption in transit, access limited to staff who need it, and vendor security reviews. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a data breach affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by law.

- Email: Click “unsubscribe” in any marketing email.
- Text messages: Reply STOP to any text.
