 WEB SITE PRIVACY STATEMENT |
We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users and ensuring the best possible experience with our web sites. The majority of the great information on our sites is offered without collecting any personally identifiable information from you. You can surf our web sites and view much of our content anonymously. When we do collect personal information from you, you will know, because you will fill out a form – and it will be a voluntary decision on your part. Shomex is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement unless we are required by law. In general, we gather information about all of our users collectively for use in improving our user experience and selling advertising, resume search, job posting, company profile and other online products to companies. There will be times when we need to ask for personal information, for example, when you sign up to receive e-mail alerts, newsletters or product information, use a service, enter into a contest, or purchase a product. We will need at minimum your e-mail address to communicate with you, and depending on what you have signed up for, we may need more specific information about you such as name, address, telephone number, credit card number, etc. With your permission, we may use your contact information to send you information in the future that we think will be beneficial to you. We will always provide you with the opportunity to opt-out of these types of communications. Cookies - A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. We use cookies simply for collecting composite traffic metrics to improve the site. You have the option of setting your browser to reject cookies. Log Files - We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement patterns and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. Sharing - We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners, advertisers and those who purchase our other e-recruiting products. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. When we employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf such as hosting our web servers, providing marketing services, analyzing data and processing credit card payments, these other companies will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their functions, but they are restricted from sharing this information with third parties. Links - Our web sites contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by our web sites. Resume Posting - We offer you the opportunity to post your resume on some of our sites. This is totally voluntary. When you submit your resume, it will be placed in a searchable database. Information you submit can be viewed by anyone with site access. We do offer a privacy control system which will allow you to block access to your name, address, phone number and e-mail address. We use our best efforts to grant access to this database only to human resource professionals who have paid to have access to our site, but cannot guarantee that other parties will not, without our consent, gain access to this database. You may remove your resume at any time. However, people who accessed the database while your resume was in the database may have a copy of your resume, and we are in no way responsible for the privacy of your resume in these situations. If you have any questions about our privacy policy, please feel free to e-mail us at privacy@shomex.com, call us at 1-800-562-7469 or mail: Web Site Operations-Privacy | [ Last Updated: February 8, 2001 ] |
