Privacy Policy Statement for DIVERSITY EMPLOYERS Web Site

DIVERSITY EMPLOYERS is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. We want to provide a safe and secure experience for all. We will use our best efforts to ensure the information you submit to us remains private and is used only for the purposes described here. DIVERSITY EMPLOYERS is dedicated to providing career and self-development information to job seekers. Our mission is to help you find a job and succeed in the workplace.

The following reflects our commitment to you.

Information Collection and Usage

In general, we gather information about all of our users collectively, such as what areas users visit most frequently and what services they access the most. We only use such data anonymously and in the aggregate. This information helps us determine what is most beneficial for our users and how we can continually create a better overall experience for you. We may share this information with our partners, but again only in the aggregate, so that they, too, may understand how visitors use our site, creating a better overall experience for you as well.

Information About You Specifically

In some instances, when you sign up to use one of our services such as My Job Tools and Resume Manager, enter a contest, purchase a product, or request information from us, for example, we may need more specific information about you, such as your name, address, email address, telephone number, etc. We may use that information when necessary to contact you regarding site changes relevant to services or functions you have signed up to use. If you give us permission, we may also use that information to make you aware of additional products, services and content that may be of interest to you. We may also ask you for other information, such as information on your interests, likes and dislikes regarding the site, the types of jobs you are interested in, etc. This is all in an effort to deliver the best possible site experience for you. Additionally, DIVERSITY EMPLOYERS may collect email addresses of newsletter mailing list subscribers. Newsletters are opt-in mailings, and the user may opt-out from the list at any time using personal subscription controls or upon request. See also “User Access and How to Opt-out or Unsubscribe” section below for additional detail.

Registration

Registration is required for some job-seeker functionality, such as creating a My Job Tools account, allowing online job applications, resume storage, contact by potential employers, and job alert email features. Registering to create a My Job Tools account requires you to give us contact information (i.e. name, phone, e-mail address). We use this information to send you announcements about careers, jobs, our company, and our partners. The contact information is also used to contact you, if necessary.

In general, we will not release any user information to any third party unless you give us permission to do so or you specifically choose to expose your information using your personal privacy and subscription control functions included in your My Job Tools account, as described below.

Updating Account Information

DIVERSITY EMPLOYERS allows you to change or modify your resume and other job tools and to modify your confidentiality control settings and personal information at any time. To do so, simply log go to find a job and login to My Job Tools on DIVERSITY EMPLOYERS and select the option for editing the information you wish to change.

Resumes

As a career site, DIVERSITY EMPLOYERS provides you with tools to store and manage your resume online, including the option to place your resume in a database that can be searched, viewed, copied, stored and forwarded by prospective employers. For your security and privacy, you may assign one of three levels of confidentiality to every resume you post, controlling the degree of access that employers will have to your resume and your identifying information:

* “Public”: Your identity, resume, and contact information will be completely searchable and viewable by all employers and recruiters who pay for access to our resume database.

*  “Confidential”: Employers may search for and view the contents of your resume, but your identity, contact information, and current job title will be hidden from their view. Potential employers may contact you only by email, and you may choose whether to respond to those emails. (NOTE: If you choose this option, do not include your contact information in the body of your resume.)

*  “Private”: Your stored resume and personal information will not be accessible in the searchable database. It will be disclosed only to employers upon your specific authorization, on a company-by-company basis.

We only grant access to our resume database only to paying employers and their recruiters, hiring managers, and human resource professionals, but we can’t guarantee that other parties will not, without our consent, gain access to this database. You may remove your resume from our searchable database at any time by deleting your information or by emailing a resume deletion request to admin@diversityemployers.com. However, employers and recruiters who have paid for access to the database, and other 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, or for the use or privacy of your resume by any such parties while your resume is in our database.
