Employment Advertising and Job Applicants
If you respond to a Massage Grotto SF job advertisement on Meta, our Site, or another platform, we may use the information you submit to evaluate qualifications, communicate with you, schedule interviews, verify information, and make hiring decisions.
Massage Grotto SF is an equal-opportunity employer. We do not make hiring decisions based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
Meta classifies certain employment advertisements as a Special Ad Category. We configure our employment advertising in compliance with Meta’s policies and applicable law, and we do not target employment advertising based on protected characteristics in a discriminatory manner.
If you are not selected for a role, we may retain your application information for a reasonable period for recordkeeping, legal compliance, and future opportunities where permitted by law. You may request deletion of your application information at any time.
We reserve the right to update, change, or replace any part of these terms at any time. It is your responsibility to check this page periodically for changes.

Cookies, Pixels, and Online Advertising
Our Site may use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to remember preferences, analyze website traffic, measure advertising effectiveness, and improve marketing efforts.
If we use tools offered by Meta, Google, or other advertising providers, those tools may collect information regarding your device, browser, Site interactions, and engagement with advertisements.
You may manage cookie settings through your browser and advertising settings through the applicable advertising platform. To control Meta advertising preferences, visit your Facebook or Instagram Ad Preferences. To opt out across multiple advertisers, you can visit https://optout.networkadvertising.org or https://optout.aboutads.info.
Some web browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not currently a universally accepted standard for responding to these signals, our Site may not respond to them. However, we honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as an opt-out of “sharing” under California law.

If you provide your phone number to us, you may receive appointment-related text messages, customer support communications, or promotional messages where permitted by law.
Message and data rates may apply depending on your carrier and plan. Message frequency may vary.
