You can generally visit our Site without revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself. However, in certain sections of this Site, to use certain services, we may require you to create an account, or we may invite you to submit questions or comments or request information, subscribe to a newsletter, participate in surveys, questionnaires or contests, or message boards. Due to the nature of some of these activities, we may ask that you complete and submit an online form with personally identifiable information such as your name, username, email address, zip code and contact information. If you have created an account, you may opt to provide additional personally identifiable information in your profile such as your age, gender and employment information. Providing any additional personally identifiable information beyond what is required to create an account is optional. We may use your personally identifiable information to deliver certain services, products or information you have requested, verify your authority to enter certain password protected areas of the Site, send you notices for services that you have used or that may be of interest to you, and improve the content and general administration of the Site. We may receive your personally identifiable information from our partners that provide us with third-party services so that we can customize and improve the services that we may provide to you. Additionally, if you have elected to reveal your email address to other registered members, they will have access to and be able to use your email address.
We may use small text files called cookies to improve overall Site experience. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies generally do not permit us to personally identify you. Some advertisements that appear on this Site are delivered to you by our advertising partners. Our advertising partners may download cookies to your computer. Doing this allows the advertising network to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement. In this way, they may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. This information allows an advertising network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. We do not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third party advertisers.
The Site may track the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, IP addresses, External Web Sites (defined below) linked to, search terms and the domain names of our users' Internet Service Providers, and we may analyze these data for trends and statistics in the aggregate, but such information will be maintained, used and disclosed in aggregate form only and it will not contain personally identifiable information. We also may collect aggregate labor statistics from public records. Such aggregate information is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. We may use such aggregate information to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users' movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We may share this aggregate information with third parties, including for various reasons related to our business to assist them in targeting advertisements to appropriate audiences.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information and aggregate information to our partner entities that provide job networking services to us to improve the content and general administration of our Site. Any such partner entity to which we provide your personally identifiable information may not further distribute your personally identifiable information.
You may have the option to request, by clicking on one or more checkboxes, that we provide your resume and registration profile information to a number of specific job search and hiring management partner entities ("Job Partners") that you select on our Site. We will only disclose your resume and registration profile information to the specific Job Partner(s) that you have requested at the time of your request. The use of your personally identifiable information by such Job Partners is subject to the user terms and conditions and privacy policies of the Job Partners. As part of their terms, you should expect that the Job Partners that you select may use your personally identifiable information to send you emails of recommended jobs and/or display your resume in a publicly searchable database. If, after you request that we send your resume and registration profile information to a Job Partner you wish to opt-out or stop receiving emails or other messages from such Job Partner, please contact the specific Job Partner to opt-out because their use of your personally identifiable information is subject to that Job Partner's user terms and conditions and privacy policies, and is not under our control.
We will also disclose your personally identifiable information if we reasonably believe we are required to do so by law, regulation or other government authority. We will not sell your personally identifiable information to any other company or organization except we may transfer your personally identifiable information to a successor entity upon a merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization in which Workhound participates or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of Workhound's assets to which this Site relates. Such successor entity shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
The Site may provide links to other Web sites or resources over which Workhound does not have control ("External Web Sites"). Such links do not constitute an endorsement by Workhound of those External Web Sites. You acknowledge that Workhound is providing these links to you only as a convenience, and further agree that Workhound is not responsible for the content of such External Web Sites. Your use of External Web Sites is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies located on the linked to External Web Sites.
We may employ procedural and technological measures, consistent with industry practice. Such measures are reasonably designed to help protect your personally identifiable information from loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Workhound may use firewalls, internal restrictions, password protection, physical lock and key and other security measures to help prevent unauthorized access to your personally identifiable information.
