At Jobfox, Inc. (“Jobfox” or “us”), we know you
are concerned about your privacy, so we developed this Privacy Policy to explain
how we collect, use, and disclose your Personal Information. As a guiding principal,
our mission at Jobfox is to make a better job marketplace. That means we take the
information you provide us and make it publicly available to a lot of people - all
in order to help you find the right job. You control what information is made publicly
available, so if you do not want us to make certain information publicly available,
we give you that option. If you want to protect your identity, we give you tools
to help you do that, like the ability to block certain domains from accessing your
information. Read on and we will tell you how this all works.
By registering with Jobfox and/or using this site (the “Site”)
or any other site that is operated by Jobfox, you are accepting the policies and
practices described in this Privacy Policy. Each time you visit the Site or provide
us with information you agree that you are consenting to our use and disclosure
of the information that you provide, and consenting to receive emails, as described
in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into the Jobfox Terms
of Service. If a term is capitalized and not defined in this Privacy Policy, it
is defined in the Terms of Service.
So we are clear about the terminology we are using, when we use the phrase “Personal
Information” in this Privacy Policy, we mean information about you
that is personally identifiable to you, like your name, address, e-mail address,
or phone number, as well as other non-public information that is associated with
the foregoing. When we use the phrase “Non-Personal Information”
in this Privacy Policy, we mean information that is not associated with or linked
to your Personal Information. Non-Personal Information does not enable identification
of or contact with, individual persons.
How We Collect Information
We receive and store information you give us (either through the Site or in some
other way). You may choose, as part of the services available on the Site (the “Services”)
Service, to enter Personal Information, including your name, street address, email
address, credit card number and phone number. When you create your match profile
on the Site, we collect categories of information relevant to your profile, including
your contact information, information about your experience, education, desired
salary, and travel limitations. When you submit a resume to us, we collect whatever
information you include in your resume. We do all of this to help us in our effort
to help you, find the right job.
As you use our Service, we may also passively collect certain information, including
your Internet protocol address, browser type, domain names, access times, and operating
system. We also use Cookies, clear GIFs, and navigational data like Uniform Resource
Locators (URLs) to gather information regarding the date and time of your use of
the Service. This type of information is collected to make our Services more useful
to you and to help us improve the Site.
If you feel that the services of Jobfox.com could be useful for a third party you
know (e.g. your friends or family members etc), you may use our referral service.
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our site, we will
ask you for your friend”s email address. We will automatically send your friend
a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. Jobfox stores this information
for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of
our referral program.

Internet business and communications. We use the services of a marketing company
to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising on other web sites and how
visitors use our Site. To do this, we use web beacons, clear GIFs and cookies provided
by our marketing company on this Site. The information we collect helps us learn
things like what kinds of customers our Site attracts, which of our products most
interest our customers, and what kinds of offers our customers like to see. Although
our marketing company logs the information coming from our Site on our behalf, we
control how that data may and may not be used.
An “Internet protocol address” or “IP address”
is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet access
provider when you use the Internet. In some cases your IP address stays the same
from browser session to browser session; but if you use a consumer internet access
provider, your IP address probably varies from session to session. We track IP addresses
solely in conjunction with session cookies to analyze our web page flow.
“Cookies” are small pieces of information that a web site sends
to your computer”s hard drive while you are viewing a web site. We may use
both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent
