The information collection, use, and dissemination practices of JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET
|
|
This policy applies to JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET's collection, use, storage and disclosure
of information by JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET on its (a) websites, including all its
divisions, subsidiaries and related companies (collectively, the "Websites"), (b)
on various third party websites, and (c) to JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET's other information
collection, including the purchase of customer lists from third parties. JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET
is not responsible for the information collection or privacy practices of third
web sites or applications.
|
|
1. Collection of Information.
|
|
1.1 Survey Information.
|
|
JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET collects information from individuals by various methods, including,
but not limited to, when an individual voluntarily completes an JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET survey,
order form, or a registration page either online or offline, or by means of online or offline
surveys, order forms, or registration pages operated by third parties (collectively, a "Survey").
(As used herein, "online" means using the Internet, including the Websites, and related technologies,
and "offline" means by methods other than online, including in person, in the postal mail, using
telephones and cell phones, and other similar means.) In the Surveys, JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET or
a third party (a "Third Party") may ask an individual to provide various information to JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET,
which may include his or her name, email address, street address, zip code, telephone numbers (including
cell phone numbers and carriers), birth date, gender, salary range, education and marital status,
occupation, social security number, employment information, personal and online interests, and such
other information as may be requested from time to time (together, "Survey Information"). JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET
may also collect information concerning an individual from another source and uses that information in
combination with information provided from this web site. Completing the Surveys is completely voluntary,
and individuals are under no obligation to provide Survey Information to JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET or Third Party,
but an individual may receive incentives from JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET or a Third Party in exchange for providing
Survey Information to JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET.
|
|
1.2 Third Party List Information.
|
|
JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET collects information from individuals when an individual
provides information to a third party and JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET subsequently purchases,
licenses, or otherwise acquires the information from the third party (the "Seller").
Such purchased information may include, but is not limited to, an individual's name, email address,
street address, zip code, telephone numbers (including cell phone numbers and carriers), birth date,
gender, salary range, education and marital status, occupation, industry of employment, personal
and online interests, and such other information as the individual may have provided to the Seller
(together, "Third Party List Information"). When acquiring Third Party List Information, JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET
seeks assurances from the Seller that the Seller has a right to transfer the Third Party List Information
to JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET and that the Seller has a right to provide offers from advertisers to the
individuals whose personal information is included on the Seller's list.
|
|
1.3 Other Information.
|
|
Other occasions when JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET obtains information from individuals
include (1) when an individual is making a claim for a prize or seeking to redeem
an incentive offered by JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET or by a third party, (2) when an individual
requests assistance through JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET's customer service department, and (3) when
an individual voluntarily subscribes to a JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET service or newsletter (together,
"Other Information").
|
|
1.4 Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Info Collected Using Technology.
|
|
JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET currently uses cookie and web beacon technology to associate
certain Internet-related information about an individual with information about
the individual in our database. Additionally, JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET may use other
new and evolving sources of information in the future (together, "Technology Information").
|
|
(a) Cookies.
|
|
A cookie is a small amount of data stored on the hard drive of the individual's
computer that allows JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET to identify the individual with his
or her corresponding data that resides in JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET's database. You
may read more about cookies at http://cookiecentral.com. Individuals who use
the Websites need to accept cookies in order to use all of the features and
functionality of the Websites.
|
|
(b) Web Beacons.
|
A web beacon is programming code that can be used to display an image on a web page
(by using an  programming function -- see
http://truste.org for more information), but can also be used to transfer
an individual's unique user identification (often in the form of a cookie) to a
database and associate the individual with previously acquired information about
an individual in a database. This allows JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET to track certain
web sites an individual visits online. Web beacons are used to determine products or
services an individual may be interested in, and to track online behavioral habits for
marketing purposes. For example, JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET might place, with the consent of
a third party website, a web beacon on the third party's website where fishing
products are sold. When Joe, an individual listed in JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET's database, visits
the fishing website, JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET receives notice by means of the web beacon that
Joe visited the fishing site, and JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET would then update Joe's profile with
the information that Joe is interested in fishing. JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET may thereafter
present offers of fishing related products and services to Joe. In addition to using web beacons
on web pages, JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET also uses web beacons in email messages sent to individuals
listed in JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET's database.
|
|
(c) New Technology.
|
|
The use of technology on the Internet, including cookies and web beacons, is rapidly
evolving, as is JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET's use of new and evolving technology. As
a result, JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET strongly encourages individuals to revisit this
policy for any updates regarding its use of technology.
|
|
1.5 Outside Information.
|
|
JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET may receive information about individuals from third parties
or from other sources of information outside of JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET including
information located in public databases ("Outside Information").
|
|
1.6 Individual Information.
|
|
As used herein, Individual Information means Survey Information, Third Party List
Information, Other Information, Technology Information, and Outside Information,
and any other information JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET gathers or receives about individuals.
|
|
1.7 No Information Collected from Children.
|
|
JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET will never knowingly collect any personal information about
children under the age of 13. If JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET obtains actual knowledge
that it has collected personal information about a child under the age of 13, that
information will be immediately deleted from our database. Because it does not collect
such information, JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET has no such information to use or to disclose
to third parties. JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET has designed this policy in order to comply
with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA").
|
|
1.8 Credit Card Information.
|
|
JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET may in certain cases collect credit card numbers and related
information, such as the expiration date of the card ("Credit Card Information")
when an individual places an order from JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET. When the Credit
Card Information is submitted to JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET, such information is encrypted
and is protected with SSL encryption software. JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET will use the
Credit Card Information for purposes of processing and completing the purchase transaction,
and the Credit Card Information will be disclosed to third parties only as necessary to
complete the purchase transaction.
|
|

marketing, online banner advertising, and package stuffers, among other possible uses.

better understand the online habits of individuals so that JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET can target
advertising and promotions to them.
|
|
2.6 Profiles of Individuals.
|
|
JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET uses Individual Information to make a profile of an individual.

with other sources of Individual Information such as information obtained from public
databases.

|
JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET stores the Individual Information in a database. Computers
housing these databases have security measures (such as a firewall) in place to
protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET's
control. Not withstanding such measures, JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET cannot guarantee
that its security measures will prevent JOBSEARCHAMERICA.NET computers from being illegally
accessed, and the Individual Information on them stolen or altered.
