Privacy Information
Our Commitment To Privacy
Career-Forge.com is committed to respecting our users' privacy and strives to diligently provide them safety and security. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
This Privacy Statement outlines the online data collection and usage policies and practices applicable to this website and does not apply to information we collect in any other fashion; this privacy policy is subject to change at any time.
Career-Forge.com contains 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 Career-Forge.com We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those other Web sites so that you can understand how they collect, share, and use your information.
The Information We Collect
This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the Career-Forge.com website. In some areas of Career-Forge.com, we request or may request that you provide personal information, including your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, or 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 ZIP code, age, preferences, gender, favorites, and interests. Sometimes we collect or may collect a combination of the two types of information.
We may also gather certain information about your use of Career-Forge.com, such as the areas you visit and the services you access. There is also information about your computer hardware and software that may be collected by us. Without limitation, this information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses, and is not linked to your personal information.
If you use our referral service to tell a friend about Career-Forge.com or to refer a job posting, we will ask you for their name and email address. We will then automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit Career-Forge.com or to view the job posting. We do not store this information.
The Way We Use Information
We use the information you provide about yourself or others only to support the services this website offers. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to provide said services.
We may use your contact information in order to send you e-mail (or other communications) regarding updates at our sites, or to contact you about your opinion of current or potentially new products and services that may be offered. We may also provide additional communications, information, and promotions on new Career-Forge.com opportunities and additional job postings which may be interesting to you. The nature and frequency of these messages will likely vary depending upon the information we receive about you.
We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.
If you grant 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.
Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
Disclosure of Personal Information to Others
We do not disclose your personal information to third parties, or your combined personal and demographic information or information about your use of our sites, except as set forth below.
- 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 Career-Forge.com account, we supply your contact information to third parties like employers, recruiters, data aggregators, marketers, or others for the intention of sending you e-mail or communicating with you otherwise. We use data we have about you (e.g., interests you have provided) to determine whether you might be interested in the opportunities, services, or products of a particular third-party.
- We disclose information to individuals and companies we employ to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include hosting our Web servers, providing marketing assistance and/or customer service, and analyzing data. These companies and individuals will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their related functions, but they may not share that information with any other third party.
- We disclose information if legally required to do so, if requested to do so by a governmental entity or if we believe that such action is necessary to: (a) conform or comply with to legal requirements; (b) protect our rights or property (including our affiliated companies); (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of our users.
- We disclose and transfer information to a third party who acquires all or a substantial portion of our business, whether that acquisition is through merger, consolidation, or purchase of either all or a substantial portion of our assets. Additionally, in the event of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, we or our trustee in bankruptcy may sell, license, or otherwise dispose of such information in a transaction as approved by the bankruptcy court. You will be notified of such a sale via email or through a prominent notice posted on Career-Forge.com.
