COLLECTION AND RETENTION OF INFORMATION

In some areas of our websites, Hiration requests or may request that you provide personal information, including your name, gender, address, email address, telephone number, contact information, birthdate, billing information and any other information from which your identity is discernible. Hiration may also request that you upload a copy of your resume and connect Hiration to your Facebook and Google profiles, thereby providing personal information regarding your education, prior employment, occupation, titles, and skills, as well as your most recent profile picture, the last article you may have shared, number of connections, industry information and non-specific geolocation information.

We also 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 collected by Hiration. This information can include without limitation your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. We gather this information automatically and store it in log files. We do not link this automatically collected date to other information we collect about you.

Hiration also collects, or logs, certain other information that cannot identify you personally when you visit our Sites. This information includes your Internet Protocol ("IP") address and your domain name. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by the ISP computer through which you access the web and a domain name is the name of the ISP computer itself through which you access the web. Hiration logs these IP addresses and domain names and aggregates them for system administration and to monitor the use of our site. We may use the aggregated information to measure the number of visits to our site, the average time spent on our site, the number of pages viewed, and various other site use statistics. Such monitoring helps us evaluate how our Sites are used and continuously improve the content we provide.

In addition, Hiration may collect indirect information about you when you use certain third party services on our site. For example, if you register on our site by using your Facebook or Google user name and password, you authorize us to have access to and store the information from your Facebook or Google Account profiles respectively; such information will be subject to, and treated in accordance with, the policies and practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Hiration receives information about you from certain of its third party partners, such as Google, Facebook, Crispchat, etc. You may be entitled to receive a list of the specific nonaffiliated third-parties that Hiration receives your personal data from. If you would like to view such a list, please email our support at team@hiration.com.

You can correct or update your Hiration account profile, resume(s) or email alerts at any time. Moreover, you can delete your resume(s) from Hiration 's online database or close your account(s) at any time, in which event we will remove all our copies of your resume and cover letters.

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

We do not share, sell, rent or trade personal information with parties for their promotional purposes.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization except as provided in this Privacy Policy, other than product feedback.

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 an Hiration account, we may supply your contact information to third parties such as employers, recruiters, agents, brokers, dealers, data aggregators, marketers or others for the purpose of sending you email or otherwise communicating with you.

We will remain the data controller and be responsible for any information shared in this way.

We may disclose and transfer such information to a third party who acquires all or a substantial portion of Hiration's 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 Hiration becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, Hiration or its trustee in bankruptcy may sell, license or otherwise dispose of such information in a transaction approved by the bankruptcy court. If such event occurs we will display a prominent notice on our website.

Hiration may also share aggregated anonymous information about visitors to our websites with our clients, partners and other third parties so that they may understand the kinds of visitors to Hiration's site and how those visitors use the site.

SECURITY

Hiration has implemented technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. Notwithstanding such measures, the Internet is an open system and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. We will notify the owners of Hiration accounts within 48 hours of the discovery of a data breach, and we will work with our customers to inform account holders who may have been directly affected by the breach.

Moreover, one of our primary purposes is to provide you with a platform to broadcast the information in your profile/resume and profile widely and to maximize your career opportunities. Accordingly, such an environment does present a risk that unauthorized third parties will view this data. Further, your profile/resume should not contain any sensitive data including personality profiles or data that you would not want made public.

When you place an order online at Hiration, 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. Hiration uses a service company to process its credit card transactions.

We also use cookies, web beacons, and Java Script to administer our site and deliver a personalized experience. For additional detailed information on each of these, please see below.

We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual and aggregated basis. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing these types of tracking technologies.

We use cookies on our site to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page.

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 Hiration website. To protect your privacy, be sure to close your browser completely after you have finished conducting business with a website that does use cookies.
