Privacy
Overview The Job Reporter is 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 all of our Web sites (unless a different
privacy statement is specifically made applicable). By using the The
Job Reporter Web site, you consent to the policies and practices described
in this Statement.
Your data will be stored and processed in whole or in part in the United
States. If you access a The Job Reporter Web site outside the United
States, your usage of that site constitutes consent to the transfer
of your data out of your country and to the United States.
Our sites contain links to other Web sites over which we have no control.
The Job Reporter is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices
of other Web sites to which you choose to link from a The Job Reporter
Web site. 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. This Privacy Statement applies solely to the information
we collect on the The Job Reporter Web site, and does not apply to information
we collect in any other fashion.
Collection and Retention of Information
In some areas of our Web sites, The Job Reporter requests or may request
that you provide personal information, including your name, address,
e-mail address, telephone number credit card number, social security
number, contact information, billing information and any other information
from which your identity is discernible. In other areas, The Job Reporter
collects or may collect demographic information that is not unique to
you such as your ZIP 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 Job Reporter Web sites where we
collect personal or combined personal and demographic data are pages
where you can open a The Job Reporter account, sign up to use a service
or purchase a The Job ReporterŐ product.
We also gather or may gather certain information about your use of our
site, 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 The Job Reporter. This information can include
without limitation your IP address, browser type, domain names, access
times and referring Web site addresses. In addition, The Job Reporter
may indirectly collect information about you when you use certain third
party services on our Web site.
The Job Reporter may sometimes afford you the opportunity to provide
descriptive, cultural, behavioral, 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 Statement. For example, such information may be used
for the purpose of determining your potential interest in receiving
email or other communications about particular products or services.
Please remember that if you post any of your personal information in
public areas of The Job Reporter, such as in online forums or chat rooms,
such information may be collected and used by others over whom The Job
Reporter has 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 The Job Reporter.
Since we believe that managing your career is a life-long process, we
retain indefinitely all the information we gather about you in an effort
to make your repeat use with us more efficient, practical, and relevant.
Of course, you can correct or update your The Job Reporter personal
account profile at any time. Moreover, you can delete your information
from our online database or close your The Job Reporter personal account
at any time, in which event we will remove all our copies your The Job
Reporter personal account profile information except for an archival
copy which is not accessible on the Internet.
Use of Information by The Job Reporter
We use the information we gather on a The Job Reporter Web site, whether
personal, demographic, collective or technical, for the purpose of operating
and improving the The Job Reporter Web site, fostering a positive user
experience, and delivering the products and services that we offer.
We may also use the information we gather to inform you of other products
or services available from The Job Reporter or its affiliated companies
or to contact you about your opinion of current products and services
or potential new products and services that may be offered. (The term
"affiliated companies" is defined in the section of this Statement entitled
"Contact Information.")
We may use your contact information in order to send you e-mail or other
communications regarding updates at the The Job Reporter site, such
as new The Job Reporter opportunities and additional listings 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 The Job Reporter, you have the option
to elect to receive additional communications, information and promotions
including without limitation free informational newsletters from The
Job Reporter relating to topics that may be of special interest to you,
such as career management advice.
We have an area where you can submit feedback. Any feedback you submit
in this area becomes our property, and we can use such feedback (such
as success stories) for marketing purposes or contact you for further
information.
Disclosure of Information to Others
We do not disclose to third parties your personal information, combined
personal and demographic information or information about your use of
a The Job Reporter Web site (such as the areas you visit or the services
you access), except as set forth in the following four subparagraphs.
1. We may disclose such information to third parties if you consent
to such disclosure. For example, if you indicate that you would like
to receive information about the products or services of third parties
at the time you register for a The Job Reporter personal account, we
may 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 may use data
we have about you (such as the interests and preferences you have expressed)
to determine whether you might be interested in the products or services
of a particular third-party.
2. We may disclose such information to companies and individuals we
employ to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include hosting
our Web servers, analyzing 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 may disclose such 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 the rights or property of
The Job Reporter or its affiliated companies; (c) prevent a crime or
protect national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of users
or the public.
4. We may disclose and transfer such information to a third party who
acquires all or a substantial portion of The Job Reporter' 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
The Job Reporter becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, whether
voluntary or involuntary, The Job Reporter or its trustee in bankruptcy
may sell, license or otherwise dispose of such information in a transaction
approved by the bankruptcy court.
The Job Reporter may also share aggregated anonymous information about
visitors to each of its Web sites (for example, the number of visitors
to The Job Reporter' Diversity area) with its clients, partners and
other third parties so that they may understand the kinds of visitors
to The Job Reporter's site and how those visitors use the site.
The Job Reporter supplies technology, hosting and related services to
other leading companies to power recruitment areas on their Web sites
(sometimes referred to as "private label recruitment areas"). Personal
and/or demographic information supplied by you in private label recruitment
areas becomes part of the The Job Reporter database, but it is not accessible
by anyone other than you, The Job Reporter and the company concerned
without your consent.
Information gathered on a page in a private label recruitment area,
or on a co-branded page (such as that of a contest co-sponsored by The
Job Reporter and another company), may become the property of the other
company or of both The Job Reporter and the other company. In that instance,
the use of such information by the other company may be subject to the
privacy policy of that company and, in any event, The Job Reporter is
not responsible for that company's use of your personal or demographic
information.
If you apply for a position through a co-branded site, you may be asked
to provide information on your age, gender or race. 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 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.
Resumes
Since The Job Reporter is a career site, we give you the option of putting
your resume in our database. There are two ways of doing this:
1. The Job Reporter, LLC 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, then all parties with
access to our searchable resume database (or copies thereof) will have
access to your resume. We attempt to limit access to our searchable
resume database (or copies thereof) only to paying employers, recruiters,
hiring managers, headhunters, 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 from our searchable database at any time. However, employers,
recruiters and others who have paid for access to that database or to
obtain a copy of that database, as well as parties who have otherwise
gained access to the database, 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 in these instances.
Use of Cookies
The Job Reporter, LLC uses "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
The Job Reporter 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 the The Job Reporter site, 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 the The Job Reporter Web site.
Use of Web Beacons The Job Reporter 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 on The Job Reporter; 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.

account profile information at any time. Simply log into your The Job

If you opted to receive newsletters, commercial e-mails or other communications
from The Job Reporter or third parties at the time you registered with
The Job Reporter, but subsequently change your mind, you may opt-out
by editing your personal account profile as described above. If you
previously opted not to receive such communications, you may later opt-in
by editing your personal account profile.
Security
The Job Reporter has implemented 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 The Job Reporter, 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.

The Job Reporter is not intended for children under 18 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under
18.
