The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act protects the online privacy of children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or maintain Personally-Identifying Information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are under 13, do not use or provide any information through the Services or through any of its features, register for the Services, make any purchases through the Services, use any of the interactive or public comment features of the Services, or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any screen name or user name you may use. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at the contact information in the Contact Information section above.
“Non-Personally-Identifying Information” is information that, without the aid of additional information, cannot be directly associated with a specific person. “Personally-Identifying Information,” by contrast, is information such as a name or email address that, without more, can be directly associated with a specific person. Like most website operators, UpRecruit gathers from users of the Services Non-Personally-Identifying Information of the sort that Web browsers, depending on their settings, may make available. That information includes the user’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type and the locations of the websites the user views right before arriving at, while navigating and immediately after leaving the Services. Although such information is not Personally-Identifying Information, it may be possible for UpRecruit to determine from an IP address a user’s Internet service provider and the geographic location of the visitor’s point of connectivity as well as other statistical usage data. UpRecruit analyzes Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from users of the Services to help us better understand how the Services are being used. By identifying patterns and trends in usage, UpRecruit is able to better design the Services to improve users’ experiences, both in terms of content and ease of use. UpRecruit may release Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from Services users in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Services.
A “Web Cookie” is a string of information which assigns you a unique identification that a website stores on a user’s computer, and that the user’s browser provides to the website each time the user submits a query to the website. UpRecruit uses cookies on the Services to: (1) keep track of services you have used; (2) record registration information regarding your login name and password; (3) record your user preferences; (4) keep you logged into the Services; (5) facilitate purchase procedures; and (6) track the pages that users visit during each Service session, both to help us improve users’ experiences and understand how the Services are being used. As with other Non- Personally-Identifying Information gathered from users of the Services, UpRecruit may analyze and discloses in aggregated form information gathered using Web Cookies, so as to help us, our partners and others better understand how the Services are being used. UPRECRUIT USERS WHO DO NOT WISH TO HAVE WEB COOKIES PLACED ON THEIR COMPUTERS SHOULD SET THEIR BROWSERS TO REFUSE WEB COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THE SERVICES, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE SERVICES MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THE AID OF WEB COOKIES. SERVICE USERS WHO REFUSE WEB COOKIES ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RESULTING LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.
Certain features of our website and Services may use local stored objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our website and Service. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies.
We may gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We may use this information to analyze trends, administer the Services, track users’ movements around the Services, gather demographic information about Our user base as a whole, and better tailor the Services to users’ needs.
A “Web Beacon” is an object that is embedded in a web page or email that is usually invisible to the user and allows website operators to check whether a user has viewed a particular web page or an email. UpRecruit may use Web Beacons in conjunction with the Services and in emails to count users who have visited particular pages, viewed emails and to deliver co-branded services. Web Beacons are not used to access users’ Personally-Identifying Information. Web Beacons are used to compile aggregated statistics about Service usage. Web Beacons collect only a limited set of information, including a Web Cookie number, time and date of a page or email view and a description of the page or email on which the Web Beacon resides. You may not decline Web Beacons. However, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all Web Cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a Web Cookie is tendered, permitting you to accept or decline Web Cookies on an individual basis.
We use “Pixel Tags” in the provision of our Services to you. Pixel Tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier that are used to track online movements of web users. Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in Web pages. Pixel Tags also allow us to send e-mail messages in a readable format, and they tell us whether e-mails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to our users.
We may use third-party vendors, including Google, who use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize and serve ads based on your past activity with or on the Services, including Google Analytics for Display Advertising. The information collected may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online activity. If you do not want any information to be collected and used by Google Analytics, you can install an opt-out in your web browser (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/) and/or opt out from Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network by using Google’s Ads Settings (www.google.com/settings/ads).
We may share aggregated and Non-Personally Identifying Information we collect under any of the above circumstances. We may also share it with third parties and our affiliate companies to develop and deliver targeted advertising on the Services and on websites of third parties. We may combine Non-Personally Identifying Information we collect with additional Non-Personally Identifying Information collected from other sources. We also may share aggregated information with third parties, including advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose of conducting general business analysis. For example, we may tell our advertisers the number of visitors and users of the Services and the most popular features or services accessed. This information does not contain any Personally-Identifying Information and may be used to develop website content and services that we hope you and other users will find of interest and to target content and advertising.
UpRecruit may collect a range of Personally-Identifying Information from and about Service users. Much of the Personally-Identifying Information collected by UpRecruit about users is information provided by users themselves when: (1) registering for our Service; (2) logging in with social network credentials; (3) participating in events or promotions; (4) communicating with us; (5) creating a public profile; (6) signing up to receive newsletters; (7) making a purchase; or (8) otherwise communicate with us or other users through or about the Services. That information may include each user’s name, address, email address and telephone number, and, if you transact business with us, financial information such as your payment method (valid credit card number, type, expiration date or other financial information). We also may request information about your interests and activities, your gender, age, date of birth, username, hometown and other demographic or relevant information as determined by UpRecruit from time to time. Users of the Services are under no obligation to provide us with Personally-Identifying Information of any kind, however, a user’s refusal to do so may prevent the user from using certain Services features.
BY REGISTERING WITH OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU CONSENT TO THE USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS “COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION” SECTION.
Some of the personal information processed by UpRecruit is performed on the basis that it is necessary for the performance of our agreement with you, or in order to take steps at the request of the user prior to entering into such an agreement. An example of this would be where UpRecruit sends an interview request to a candidate from an employer.
Certain Personally-Identifying Information collected from users may be disclosed as a matter of course as a result of your use of the Services. You also may provide information, including without limitation, your photos, posts, and other content to be published or displayed to the general public ( hereinafter, “posted” ) on public areas of the Services or transmitted to other users of the Services or third parties ( collectively, “User Contributions” ). Your User Contributions are posted on and transmitted to others at your own risk and are governed by our Terms of Use. Your User Contributions may appear on other websites or when searches are executed on the subject matter of your User Contribution. For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages. We cannot control the actions of third parties or other users of the Services with whom we or you may choose to share your User Contributions, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to the User Contributions posted and to not post any sensitive or confidential information. Once You have posted information publicly, while you will still be able to edit and delete such information on the Service, you will not be able to edit or delete such information cached, collected, and stored elsewhere by others. Additionally, we cannot and do not guarantee that your User Contributions will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. USERS ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS OF PRIVACY OR OTHER HARM RESULTING FROM THEIR VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION.
We may occasionally use your name, email address, and phone number to send you notifications regarding Service updates with respect to connecting you to potential candidates or employers, and new services offered by UpRecruit or our business partners that we think you may find valuable. We may also send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the Services. Generally, you may opt out of such emails or SMS notifications at the time of registration or through your account settings, though we reserve the right to send you notices about your account, such as service announcements and administrative messages via email, even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.
UpRecruit may collect automated error reports in the case of software malfunction; such error reports may contain some or all of the information in your accounts and may be reviewed to help resolve problems with the Services.
If you participate in a video conference with us, we may record the session and retain records of the session if we notify you that the session is being recorded and allow you the opportunity to opt out.
UpRecruit will disclose Personally-Identifying Information under the following circumstances:
You may at any time review or change your Personally-Identifying Information by going to your account settings (if applicable) or contacting us using the contact information above. Upon your request, we will deactivate or delete your account and contact information from our active databases. Such information will be deactivated or deleted as soon as practicable based on your account activity and in accordance with our deactivation policy and applicable law. To make this request, either go to your account settings (if applicable) or contact us as provided below. We will retain some Personally-Identifying Information, whether or not requested to delete or deactivate, to: (1) prevent fraud; (2) troubleshoot problems; (3) assist with any investigations; (4) enforce our Terms of Use; and (5) comply with legal requirements as is permitted by law. Additionally, we keep a history of changed information to investigate suspected fraud with your account.
UpRecruit uses the Personally-Identifying Information and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the Services to: (1) deliver the products and Services that you have requested; (2) manage your account and provide you with customer support; (3) communicate with you by email, postal mail, telephone and/or mobile devices including SMS notifications about products or services that may be of interest to you either from us, our affiliate companies or other third parties; (4) develop and display content and advertising tailored to your interests on our website and other sites; (5) resolve disputes and troubleshoot problems; (6) measure consumer interest in our Services; (7) inform you of updates; (8) customize and/or enhance our Services and your experience; (9) detect and protect us against error, fraud and other criminal activity; (10) enforce our Terms of Use; and (11) do as otherwise described to you at the time of collection. At times, we may look across multiple users to identify problems. In particular, we may examine your Personally-Identifying Information to identify users using multiple user IDs or aliases. We may compare and review your Personally-Identifying Information for accuracy and to detect errors and omissions. We may use financial information or payment method to process payment for any purchases made on or through the Services and other programs in which you elect to participate, to protect against or identify possible fraudulent transactions and otherwise as needed to manage our business.
Any personal information that UpRecruit may obtain from any third-party source will be processed by UpRecruit in accordance with this Privacy Policy and all applicable laws. We may add this information to the information we have already collected from you via our Services in order to improve the Services we provide you. Third parties are under no obligation to comply with this Privacy Policy with respect to Personally-Identifying Information that users provide directly to those third parties, or that those third parties collect for themselves. These third parties include advertisers, employers, recruiters, and providers of utilities, widgets and a variety of other third-party applications accessible through the Services. UpRecruit neither owns nor controls the third-party websites and applications accessible through the Services. Thus, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information provided to or gathered by the third parties that operate them. Before visiting a third party, or using a third-party application, whether by means of a link on the Services, directly through the Services or otherwise, and before providing any Personally-Identifying Information to any such third party, users should inform themselves of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that website, service, or application, and should take those steps necessary to, in those users’ discretion, protect their privacy.
We take the security of your Personally-Identifying Information seriously and use reasonable electronic, personnel and physical measures to protect it from loss, theft, alteration or misuse. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted through the Services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on or in the Services.
We are dedicated to protecting all information related to the Services as is necessary. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. You should change your password immediately if you believe someone has gained unauthorized access to it or your account and notify us. If you lose control of your account, you should notify us immediately.
UpRecruit may, in its sole discretion, change this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date the Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our website, specifically this Privacy Policy, to check for any changes. UpRecruit will always post new versions of the Privacy Policy on our website or otherwise displayed through the Services. UpRecruit may, as determined in its discretion, decide to notify users of changes made to this Privacy Policy via email, SMS, or otherwise.
You may change any of your personal information in your account by editing your profile within your account. UpRecruit will retain user personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you Services. We may retain certain user Personal Identifiable Information indefinitely, unless you delete it or request its deletion, provided that UpRecruit may retain and use your information as necessary to comply with out legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreement before any such deletion. After deletions, some data, such as internal messages and comments to other users will remain. When we delete any information, it will be deleted from the active database, but may remain in our archives.
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ( “DNT” ) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, the Services currently do not respond to DNT browser signals or mechanisms.
Under California Civil Code Section 1798.83, California residents have certain rights and may request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information. To make such a request, please contact us at the contact information above.

You have the right to request that we disclose the Personal Identifiable Information we collect, use, disclose and sell about you. This Privacy Policy explains the categories of personal information we collected, why we collected this information, and the third parties with which we shared it.
Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, UpRecruit does not sell your personal information. California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code section 1798.83) permits California residents, no more than once per calendar year, to request and receive information about a business’ disclosure of certain categories of personal information to other companies for direct marketing purposes.

SOCIAL MEDIA
We may use hyperlinks displayed on or used in conjunction with the Services which will redirect you to a social network if you click on the respective link. However, when you click on a social plug-in, such as Facebook’s “Like” button, Twitter’s “tweet” button or the Google+, that particular social network’s plugin will be activated and your browser will directly connect to that provider’s servers. If you do not use these buttons, none of your data will be sent to the respective social network’s plugin provider. For example, if you click on the Facebook’s “Like” button on the Services, Facebook will receive your IP address, the browser version and screen resolution, and the operating system of the device you have used to access the Services. Settings regarding privacy protection can be found on the websites of these social networks and are not within our control.
