Cookies and other tracking technologies
As is true of most websites and applications, the Platform collects some personal information automatically and stores it in log files. This information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address,
browser type, language, internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating system, and date/time stamp. We use this personal information to, for instance, improve our understanding of
and analyze trends, to administer the Platform, to learn about user behavior on the Platform, and to gather demographic information about our user base.
To monitor use of the Platform and improve its quality, we may compile statistical information concerning the use of the Platform through analytics services, such as those provided by Google Analytics.
Examples of this information may include: the number of visitors to the Platform or to sections or pages of the Platform; patterns of traffic flowing through the Platform; length of time spent on the
Platform, or in sections or on pages of the Platform; the other sites that refer visitors to the Platform; the pages of the Platform that visitors frequently use as entry and exit points; and utilization of the
browser and operating systems and versions used by visitors to the Platform.
We use Google Analytics UserID feature to help provide a better user experience. This feature allows us to capture website interactions such as button clicks and link clicks. We do not capture any data that allows Google to personally identify any individual nor data that permanently identifies a particular device.By using the Platform, you consent to our use of the UserID feature. Terms & Conditions also apply.
We may use various kinds of software devices to collect information about use of our Platform.
- Cookies. One such device is “cookies,” which are small files that uniquely identify and recognize your browser or device and automatically collect certain information from you. The Platform utilizes a few different types of cookies, which are described below.
- First and Third Party Cookies. First party cookies are generally placed on your computer or device by the website you are visiting. For example, we may use a first party cookie to improve website security. Third party cookies are placed on your computer or device by a source other than the website you are visiting in order to enable third-party features such as advertising, analytics, videos, or interactive content.
- Essential or Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions taken by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
- Performance and Functionality Cookies. Although these are non-essential cookies, they help the website perform and function as designed. For example, performance and functionality cookies may help the website display videos, enable chat sessions, or recognize whether you visited the website before.
- Analytics Cookies. These cookies track your usage of the website. The information these cookies collect can be used for various purposes such as understanding how visitors use the website, site and
content customization, or advertising and marketing.
- Advertising Cookies. Advertising and marketing cookies perform functions such as helping customize your website experience, personalizing ads based on your online activities and interests, measuring the effectiveness of ads, preventing an ad from reappearing, and serving you targeted advertisements. Information from these cookies may be shared with third parties or third parties may place these cookies on your computer or device. Advertising and marketing cookies may track your online activities.
The Platform uses essential, functional, and performance cookies to function and perform as designed; analytics cookies to understand how you use the Platform, improve its functionality and other related
purposes; and advertising cookies to help us with our advertising and marketing activities. For instance, the Platform may use cookies to:
- Customize your experience during a session (e.g., to track which job ads you clicked on) or across sessions (e.g., to build a profile of the types of positions that interest you).
- Track the number of unique visitors to our Platform, which enables us, among other things, to ensure the Platform has sufficient capacity
- Customize content on the Platform.
- Collect anonymous statistical information about Platform use, including about the amount of time a user spends on the Platform, which website they navigated to the Platform from, and how they used Platform.
- Web beacons. We may also use web beacons to review how visitors navigate the Platform.
- Social media plugins. The Platform may also use social media plugins (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) to enable you to easily share information with others. When you visit the Platform, the operator of the social media plugin can place a cookie on your computer, enabling that operator to recognize individuals who have previously visited our Platform. If you are logged into the social media website while browsing our Platform, the social plugins allow that social media website to share data about your activities on our Platform with other users of the social media website. For example, Facebook Social Plugins could allow Facebook to show certain of your activities on our pages to your Facebook friends and your friends’ activities to you. We do not control any of the content from the social media plugins. For more information about plugins from other social media websites, please refer to those sites’ privacy and information sharing policies.
IMPORTANT: By using the Platform, you consent to the processing of any personal information provided or collected for the analytics purposes and functions described above.
Do Not Track
“Do Not Track” is a privacy preference that you can set in your Internet search browser that sends a signal to a website that you do not want the website operator to track certain browsing information
about you. However, because the Platform is not configured to detect Do Not Track signals from a user’s computer, we are unable to respond to Do Not Track requests.
Our Platform and Children
We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 13 years of age. We are concerned about the safety of children when they use the Internet and will never knowingly request
personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If the parent or guardian of a child under 13 believes that the child has provided us with any personal information, the parent or guardian of that child
should contact us and ask to have this personal information deleted from our files. If we otherwise obtain knowledge that we have personal information about a child under 13 in our files, we will delete that
information from our existing files so that it is not in retrievable form.
Security
We seek to use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect personal information within our organization. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us in accordance with the Contacting Us section below.
Applicable law
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Jurisdiction for any claims arising under or out of this Privacy Policy shall lie exclusively
with the state and federal courts within Texas. If any provision of this Privacy Policy is found to be invalid by a court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity
of the remaining provisions of this Privacy Policy, which shall remain in full force and effect.
Notice to Platform users located outside the U.S.
We operate in accordance with the laws of the U.S. When you access the Platform from outside the U.S., we may transfer the personal information we collect from you to a location outside of your
jurisdiction, including the U.S. The data protection laws in these jurisdictions may not provide you with the same protections as those of your jurisdiction. By using this Platform you acknowledge that these
laws may provide a different standard of protection and you consent to the transfer of your personal data to other jurisdictions, including the U.S.

Changes to this Privacy Policy
From time to time we may change our privacy policies. We will notify you of any material changes to our Privacy Policy by posting an updated copy of this policy on the Platform. Please check our Platform
periodically for updates.
For California Residents
This section of the Privacy Policy (“CA Policy”) supplements and amends the information contained in our Privacy Policy with respect to California residents. This CA Policy applies solely to individuals,
visitors, users, and others who are natural persons and residents of the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). THIS ADDENDUM TO THE PRIVACY POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO USERS WHO ARE NOT
NATURAL PERSONS AND NOT CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS.
The CA Policy describes our policies and practices regarding the personal information we collect, use, and disclose about you, including personal information you submit or we obtain when you use the
Platform. This CA Policy is adopted in part to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).
Any terms defined within the CCPA have the same meaning when utilized within this CA Policy. The other provisions of the Privacy Policy continue to apply except as modified in this CA Policy. Note,
however, that “personal information,” as used in this CA Policy, does not include:
- Publicly available information from government records.
- De-identified or aggregated consumer information.
- Information excluded from the CCPA’s scope, such as personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994.
Consumer Rights. Pursuant to the CCPA, and as detailed below, consumers have various rights with respect to their personal information.
- Request to Delete. You have the right to request that we delete your personal information from our records and direct any service providers to delete your personal information from their records, subject to certain exceptions. Upon receipt of a confirmed verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA, we will delete and direct any service providers to delete your personal information from our records.
We are not required to comply with your request to delete your personal information if it is necessary for us (or our service provider) to maintain that information in order to:
- Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between us and you.
- Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for that activity.
- Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
- Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.
- Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 1546) of Title 12 of Part 2 of the Penal Code.
- Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when our deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, if you have provided informed consent.
- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us.
- Comply with a legal obligation.
- Otherwise use your personal information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.
Upon receipt of a confirmed verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA, we will provide a response to such requests.
If you are under the age of 18, and a registered user of any site where this CA Policy is posted, California law permits you to request and obtain removal of content or information you have publicly
posted. You may submit your request using the contact information in the Privacy Policy. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or
information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.
- Request to Know. You have the right to request that we disclose the following to you as it relates to the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your verifiable consumer request:
- The categories of personal information we have collected about you.
- The categories of sources from which the personal information was collected.
- The business or commercial purpose for collecting personal information.
- The categories of personal information we disclosed for a business purpose.
- The categories of third parties with whom we share personal information.
- The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.
Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA, we will provide a response to such requests.
- Request to Opt-Out. Subject to certain exceptions, you have the right to opt-out of the “sale” of your information and can do so by submitting a request via email to support@job.com with subject “Do Not Sell My Personal Information”. The CCPA defines “sale” and “personal information” more broadly than those terms are traditionally understood. “Personal information,” for example, may include identifiers such as IP addresses, web cookies, web beacons, and mobile ad IDs. In many cases, these types of information do not directly identify you, but, because they are unique identifiers that could potentially be linked to you, they may qualify as “personal information.” The term “sell” is likewise broadly defined, and includes not only disclosures in exchange for money, but also disclosures in exchange for “other valuable consideration.” Please note that certain information sharing is not considered a “sale” – e.g., (1) when personal information is shared with a service provider that is contractually prohibited from using the personal information for any purpose beyond the service specifically requested, or (2) when the consumer has directed the company to disclose the personal information. Under the CCPA’s broad definition of “sell,” which includes even the common flow of information in the digital analytics and advertising ecosystem, we may in some instances “sell” personal information. Like most companies that operate websites and apps, we use online analytics to measure the ways users engage with our websites and apps. These analytics, in turn, inform how we perform online advertising and how we market our products and services. We do not knowingly sell the personal information of individuals under the age of 16.
- Shine the Light. In addition to the CCPA, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request information regarding the disclosure of your personal information by us to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Such requests must be submitted to us by contacting us as instructed in the Contact Us section above. Please mention when contacting us that you are making a "California Shine the Light" inquiry. Within 30 days of receiving such a request, we will provide a list of the categories of personal information disclosed to third parties for third-party direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding calendar year, along with the names and addresses of these third parties. This request may be made no more than once per calendar year. We reserve our right not to respond to requests submitted other than in accordance with the instructions specified in this paragraph.
- Nondiscrimination. We will not discriminate against you in violation of the CCPA for exercising any of your CCPA rights. For example, we generally will not provide you a different level or quality of goods or services if you exercise your rights under the CCPA.
Submitting Consumer Rights Requests. To submit a request to exercise any of the Consumer Rights discussed above, please contact us using the instructions in the Contact Us section above. We reserve the right to only respond to verifiable consumer requests. A verifiable consumer request is one made:
- by the consumer who is the subject of the request,
- by a consumer on behalf of the consumer’s minor child, or
- by a natural person or person registered with the Secretary of State authorized to act on behalf of a consumer.
Upon our request, you must provide us with sufficient information to verify your identity and/or authority to act on behalf of the consumer. In general, we may ask you to provide identifying information
that we already maintain about you or we may use a third-party verification service. In either event, we will try to avoid asking you for sensitive personal information in order to verify your identity. We may
not be able to respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.
However, making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. Additionally, you will need to describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand,
assess, and respond. We will not use personal information we collect from an individual for purposes of verifying their request for any other purpose, except as required by law. We will endeavor to respond
to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) calendar days of receipt, but we may require an extension of up to forty-five (45) additional calendar days to respond and we will notify you of the
need for the extension. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or
electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of your verifiable consumer request. If applicable, our response will also explain the
reasons we cannot comply with a request. To the extent permitted by the CCPA, we will respond to no more than two requests during any 12-month period. You may authorize a natural person or a business
registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf with respect to your rights under this CA Policy. When you submit a Request to Know or a Request to Delete, unless you have provided
the authorized agent with a qualifying power of attorney, you must provide your authorized agent written permission (signed by you) to act on your behalf and verify the authorized agent’s identity with us.
We reserve the right to deny requests from persons or businesses claiming to be authorized agents that do not submit sufficient proof of their authorization.
Questions. If you have questions about this CA Policy, please contact us as described above in the Privacy Policy.
For Nevada Residents
Under Nevada law, Nevada residents may opt out of the sale of certain “covered information” collected by operators of websites or online services. We currently do not sell covered information, as “sale” is
defined by such law, and we don’t have plans to sell this information. In accordance with Nevada law, you may submit to us a verified request instructing us not to sell your covered information. Such
requests can be submitted in accordance with the instructions provide above in the Contact Us section.
