JobsInQik, Inc committed to respecting the privacy of our users. We strive to provide
a safe, secure user experience. This Privacy Statement sets forth the online
data collection and usage policies and practices that apply to the JobsInQik
Web Sites (sometimes referred to herein as the "JobsInQik Sites")
and does not apply to information we collect in any other fashion.
Your data will be stored and processed in whole or in part in
the United States. The information we gather on the JobsInQik Sites
may be shared within the JobsInQik-affiliated companies on a worldwide basis
in order to deliver the products and services we offer to employers such
as searches for job seekers or in order to undertake analysis of our database
such as aggregate profiling of our registered users. "Affiliated companies"
means entities that control, are controlled by or are under common control
with JobsInQik, Inc.
The JobsInQik Sites contain links to other Web sites over which we have no
control. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of
other Web sites to which you choose to link from our Sites. We encourage
you to review the privacy policies of those other Web sites so you can understand
how they collect, use and share your information.
Collection and Use of Information
by JobsInQik
In some areas of JobsInQik, we request or may request that you
provide personal information, including your name, address, e-mail address,
telephone number, credit card number, contact information, billing information
and any other information from which your identity is discernible. In other
areas, we collect or may collect demographic information that is not unique
to you such as your code, age, preferences, gender, interests and favorites.
Sometimes we collect or may collect a combination of the two types of information.
Examples of areas on the JobsInQik Sites where we collect personal or combined
personal and demographic data are pages where you can open a MyJobsInQik account,
sign up to use a service, post a resume, enter a contest or purchase a product.
In addition, we may indirectly collect information about you when you use
certain third party services available on JobsInQik. For example, if you register
on JobsInQik by using your Microsoft Passport user name and password, you
authorize us to have access to and store the information in your Passport
account profile; such information will be subject to, and treated in accordance
with, the policies and practices described in this Privacy Statement.
We also gather or may gather certain information about your use of JobsInQik,
such as what areas you visit and what services you access. Moreover, there
is information about your computer hardware and software that is or may
be collected by us. This information can include without limitation your
IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site
addresses, but is not linked to your personal information.
We may sometimes afford you the opportunity to provide descriptive, cultural,
preferential and/or life style information about yourself, but it is solely
up to you whether you furnish such information. If you do provide such information,
you are thereby consenting to the use of that information in accordance
with the policies and practices described in this Privacy Statement. For
example, such information may be used for the purpose of determining your
potential interest in receiving e-mail or other communications about particular
products or services.
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about the JobsInQik
Sites or refer a job posting to a friend, we will ask you for your friend's
name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time
email inviting him or her to visit the JobsInQik Sites or view the job posting.
We do not store this information.
Our Use of Your Information
We use the information we gather on JobsInQik, whether personal,
demographic, collective or technical, for the purpose of operating and improving
the JobsInQik Sites, fostering a positive user experience, and delivering
the products and services that we offer.
If you have provided consent for us to do so, we may also use the information
we gather to inform you of other products or services available from us
or our affiliated companies or to contact you about your opinion of current
products and services or potential new products and services that may be
offered.
We may use your contact information in order to send you e-mail or other
communications regarding updates at the JobsInQik Sites, and if you have information
on new JobsInQik opportunities and additional job postings which may be of
interest to you. The nature and frequency of these messages will vary depending
upon the information we have about you.
In addition, at the time of registration for a account, you have the option
to elect or not elect to receive additional communications, information
and promotions, including without limitation, free informational newsletters
from us relating to topics that may be of special interest to you, such
as career management advice.
We have areas on the JobsInQik Sites where you can submit feedback. Any feedback
you submit in these areas becomes our property, and we can use such feedback
(such as success stories) for marketing purposes or to contact you for further
information.
Choices Regarding the Disclosure of
Personal Information to Others
1.
We disclose information to third parties if you consent to such
disclosure. For example, if you indicate that you would like to receive
information about the opportunities, products or services of third
parties at the time you register for a account, we supply your contact
information to third parties such as employers, recruiters, data aggregators,
marketers or others for the purpose of sending you e-mail or otherwise
communicating with you. We use data we have about you (such as the
interests and preferences you have expressed) to determine whether
you might be interested in the opportunities, products or services
of a particular third-party.
2.
We disclose information to companies and individuals we employ
to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include hosting our Web
servers, data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card
payments, and providing customer service. These companies and individuals
will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform
their functions, but they may not share that information with any
other third party.
3.
We disclose information if legally required to do so, if requested
to do so by a governmental entity or if we believe in good faith that
such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or
comply with legal process; (b) protect our rights or property or our
affiliated companies; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security;
or (d) protect the personal safety of users or the public.
4.
We disclose and transfer information to a third party who acquires
all or a substantial portion of our business, whether such acquisition
is by way of merger, consolidation or purchase of all or a substantial
portion of our assets. In addition, in the event we become the subject
of a bankruptcy proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, we or
our trustee in bankruptcy may sell, license or otherwise dispose of
such information in a transaction approved by the bankruptcy court.
You will be notified of sale of all or a substantial portion of our
business to a third party via email or through a prominent notice
posted on the JobsInQik Sites.
Other Uses of Information
We also share aggregated anonymous information about visitors to JobsInQik
(for example, the number of visitors to JobsInQik's job search area) with
its clients, partners and other third parties so that they can understand
the kinds of visitors to the JobsInQik Sites and how those visitors use the
JobsInQik Sites.
We supply technology, hosting and related services to other leading companies
to power recruitment areas on their Web sites (sometimes referred to as
"Hosted Career Sites"). Personal and/or demographic information
supplied by you in Hosted Career Sites becomes part of the JobsInQik database,
but it is not accessible by anyone other than you, JobsInQik and the company
concerned without your consent. If you attempt to register with JobsInQik
after registering with a Hosted Career Site, JobsInQik will recognize your
information and you will be able to use the information you provided to
the Hosted Career Site in your account registration.
Information gathered on a page in a Hosted Career Site or on a co-branded
page (such as that of a contest co-sponsored by JobsInQik and another company),
may become the property of the other company or of both us and the other
company. In that instance, the use of such information by the other company
will be subject to the privacy policy of that company. We are not responsible
for that company's use of your personal or demographic information.
If you apply for a position on JobsInQik or through a Hosted Career Site,
you may be asked to provide information on your gender, race or other protected
status where permitted by applicable law. Some employers are required by
law to gather this information from job applicants for reporting and record-keeping
requirements. You should understand that if provided, this information will
be used by employers only in accordance with applicable law and will not
be used in making any negative employment decisions. All information provided
will be kept separate from your expression of interest in any job opportunity.
Providing this information is strictly voluntary and you will not be subject
to any adverse action or treatment if you choose not to provide this information.
Personal Information on Resumes and Profiles
Since JobsInQik is a career site, we give you three options regarding the
accessibility of your resume:
1.
You can store your resume in our database, but not allow it to be
searchable by potential employers. Not allowing your resume to be
searchable means that you can use it to apply for a job online, but
employers and recruiters will not have access to search it through
our resume database product.
2.
If you allow your resume to be searchable without making it confidential
and hiding your contact information, then all parties with access
to our searchable resume database (or copies thereof) will have access
to your resume.
3.
If you have a confidential resume, but apply to a job posting on
JobsInQik, the employer to whom you send your resume will be able to
view your contact information.
We attempt to limit access to our searchable resume database (or copies
thereof) only to paying employers, recruiters, hiring managers, and human
resource professionals, as well as law enforcement and national security
agencies, but cannot guarantee that other parties will not gain access to
this database. We are not responsible for the use made of resumes by third
parties who access such resumes while they are in our searchable database.
You may remove your resume on JobsInQik at anytime, but, employers, recruiters
and others who have paid for access to the JobsInQik resume database or to
obtain a copy of that database as well as parties who have otherwise gained
access may have retained a copy of your resume in their own files or databases.
We are not responsible for the retention, use or privacy of resumes or profiles
in these instances.
Posting to Public Areas of JobsInQik
Please remember that if you post any of your personal information in public
areas of JobsInQik such as in online forums or chat rooms, or in the JobsInQik
searchable resume database, such information may be collected and used by
others over whom we have no control. We are not responsible for the use
made by third parties of information you post or otherwise make available
in public areas of JobsInQik or JobsInQik Networking.
Use of Cookies
We use "cookies" to help personalize and maximize your online
experience and time online. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your
hard drive by a Web page server. Cookies are not used to run programs or
deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to your
computer, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued
the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature
to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that
you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize JobsInQik
pages, or register for services, a cookie helps us to recall your specific
information (such as user name, password and preferences). Because of our
use of cookies, we can deliver faster and more accurate results and a more
personalized site experience. When you return to JobsInQik, the information
you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features
that you customized. We also use cookies to track click streams and for
load balancing.
You may have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting
to decline all cookies if you prefer. Alternatively, you may be able to
modify your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered
and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis. If you
choose to decline cookies, however, that may hinder performance and negatively
impact your experience on JobsInQik.
Use of Web Beacons
JobsInQik Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes
called single-pixel gifs) that allow us to count users who have visited
those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Web beacons are not used
to access your personally identifiable information; they are a technique
we use to compile aggregated statistics about our Web site usage. Web beacons
collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time
and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web
beacon resides.
You may not decline web beacons, however, they can be rendered ineffective
by declining all cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you
each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies
on an individual basis.
Third parties are not permitted to use Web beacons on the JobsInQik Sites.
Access to and Modification of Your Information
You may review, correct, update or change your account information at
any time.
To change your account information, simply log into your account, go to
your Account Profile, review your account information and, if you wish,
edit it with the options provided. Click here to access your MyJobsInQik Account
Profile page.
If you opted to receive newsletters, commercial e-mails or other communications
from JobsInQik or third parties at the time you created a account, but subsequently
changed your mind, you may opt-out by editing your Account Profile as described
above. If you previously opted not to receive such communications, you may
later opt-in by editing your Account Profile as well.
We retain indefinitely all the information we gather about you in an effort
to make your repeat use of JobsInQik more efficient, practical, and relevant.
Of course, you can delete your resume from JobsInQik's online database, close
your account at any time in which event we will remove all our copies of
your resume from JobsInQik, your account information except for an archival
copy which is not accessible on the Internet.
Security of the Personal Information
We have implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational
measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss
and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, we
cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat
those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes.
When you place an order online at JobsInQik your credit card information is
protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer
("SSL") protocol. SSL makes it difficult for your credit card
information to be intercepted or stolen while being transmitted. We use
a service company to process its credit card transactions.
Children
The JobsInQik Sites are not intended for children under 13 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Safe Harbor
We participate in the Department of Commerce's Safe Harbor Framework arising
out of the U.S. implementation of the European Union Data Protection Directive.
We have certified adherence to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles for each
of the JobsInQik Sites. For more information about the Safe Harbor Privacy
Principles and to view our certification, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce's
Safe Harbor Web site. If you would like to contact us directly about the
Safe Harbor program, please send an e-mail to safeharbor@JobsInQik.com.
Changes to Privacy Statement
If we decide to materially change our Privacy Statement
for JobsInQik, we will post those changes through a prominent notice on the
web site so that you will always know what information we gather, how we
might use that information, and to whom we will disclose it.

or believe that we have not adhered to this Privacy Statement, please feel
