UInclude Inc. respects the privacy of our users. This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) describes how we collect, use, store, and disclose information in connection with our Services and with our Website. By accessing our Website and/or using our Services, you agree to the provisions of this Privacy Policy and to our Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms have the meanings defined in the Terms.
Please note that except as otherwise described below, this Privacy Policy does not apply to the processing of any information by third parties. Information collected through such a third-party site is not subject to this Privacy Policy, but is instead subject to the third-party’s privacy policy.
We collect certain information about users, including Personal Information, in order to fulfill our lawful business interests, including in connection with the Services. “Personal Information” is any information related to an identified or identifiable person, including by reference to an identifier such as a name, location data, email address, phone number, resume information, credit card information, or other factors specific to a person’s identity. We collect only the information necessary to fulfill our lawful business interests, and keep your information only as long as is necessary to fulfill those interests. We may combine Personal Information with other information, in which case we will treat the combined information as Personal Information. We also may combine information that we collect about you through the Services with additional information that we or third parties collect in other contexts—such as our communications with you via email or phone, or our customer service records. In those circumstances, we will treat the combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
You can visit the Website and use some of the Services without providing any information, including Personal Information. However, if you choose not to provide Personal Information, we may not be able to provide you with full access to, or use of, the Services. As described below, we do automatically collect certain information when you use the Services. The Services also require you to provide Personal Information when you register as a Customer or Employer. If you connect to the Website through LinkedIn or other third-party social media platforms, please also review the Social Media Information below.
We may communicate with you if you’ve provided us the means to do so. For example, if you’ve given us your email address, we may send you promotional email offers on behalf of other businesses, or email you about your use of the Services. If you do not want to receive communications from us, please indicate your preference by emailing us at [email protected] or by following the opt-out instructions contained in such emails.
Information about Customers. We collect various types of Personal Information about Customers in connection with the Services, which may include: name, mailing address, email address, username and password, work and educational history, company and job title, photograph, credit card information, content posted by Customers, location information, and payment information.
Information about Employers. We collect various types of Personal Information about Employers, which may include: name, mailing address, email address, phone number, username and password, content posted or submitted by Employers, and Personal Information of their employees. UInclude may make certain Employer information identified above available to the public for the purpose of providing the Services.
Social Media Information. You may choose to log in to the Website using a third-party social media service, such as LinkedIn. If you do so, we may collect Personal Information from the social media provider, including, for example, your username, email address, and available profile information, such as your public profile URL, profile photo, connections, industry, and location, as well as other information associated with your social media account. We require your consent prior to you accessing the Website from your social media account. If you provide such consent, you represent and warrant that you satisfy the terms regarding such accounts and have the authority to provide us with information about your social media connections.
Surveys. From time to time, we may ask users to participate in surveys, contests, promotions, and sweepstakes which may be used to collect Personal Information. Participation is completely voluntary and declining to participate will not impact your use of the Services.
Payment Information. We collect certain payment and billing information when you purchase Services. You might also provide payment information which we collect via secure payment processing services.
Other information collected automatically through the Services. We also collect information automatically through the Services. This may include information such as your IP address and domain name, your location as inferred from your IP address, your Internet service provider, the date and time of your visit to the Website, your use of the Services during your current session and over time (including the pages you view and the files you download), the URLs from the websites you visit before and after navigating the Website, your computer’s and/or mobile device’s operating system and browser type, and your software and hardware attributes (including device IDs). We collect such information using a variety of mechanisms, including the following:
Information collected on third-party sites. In some cases, we use the mechanisms described above to track users when they navigate to and on third-party sites. Although we do not disclose Personal Information combined with such tracking data to our business partners, we may provide de-identified information and analytics as discussed in the section below titled “How We Share Information with Third Parties.”
We use the Personal Information that we collect about users, including Customers and Employers, to:
UInclude may share information with third parties for a variety of purposes. We share information with the following third parties and in the following ways:
Affiliates. We may share information, including Personal Information, with our corporate affiliates for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Service providers. We use third-party service providers to help us manage and improve the Services. We provide these parties with only the information they need to perform their services and work closely with them to ensure that your privacy is respected and protected. These service providers may collect and/or use your information, including Personal Information, to assist us in providing Services and in achieving the purposes discussed in this Privacy Policy. For example, we integrate certain plug-ins offered by third-party service providers. Even if you do not click on these plug-ins, they may collect information about you, such as your IP address. They also may set and/or access cookies. These plugins, including the Google Maps API, are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them.
Other users of the Services. We may share information, including Personal Information, with other users of the Services where appropriate.
Business partners. We also may share your information, including Personal Information, with our business partners to fulfill your requests for the Services; complete a transaction that you initiate; or meet the terms of any agreement that you have with us or our business partners.
Your direct sharing of Personal Information through the Services and third-party websites and services. The Services may enable you to share Personal Information directly through the Services or through a third-party. In addition, the Services may contain links to third-party websites that incorporate comment and social media features, including the Facebook “like” button and the Twitter “follow” button. If you choose to use these features, you may disclose your Personal Information not just to those third-party websites and services, but also to their users and the public more generally. Because these third-party websites and services are not operated by UInclude, we are not responsible for the content or practices of those websites or services. The collection, use, and disclosure of your information will be subject to the privacy policies of the third-party websites or services, and not this Privacy Policy.
Legal purposes. We also may use or share your information, including Personal Information, with third parties when we believe, in our sole discretion, that doing so is necessary:
De-identified or aggregated information. We also may compile and share de-identified or aggregated information about users of the Services, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Services or sharing aggregated information about historical and real-time trends in employment.
We partner with certain third parties to collect information to engage in analytics, auditing, research, and reporting. These third parties may use web logs, pixel tags, or similar online tracking mechanisms, and they may set and access cookies on your computer or other device. For example, Employers may use pixel tags or scripts supplied by UInclude to track when users navigate to their websites and submit job applications.
Among other providers, the Services use Google Analytics to help collect and analyze certain information for the purposes discussed above. You may opt-out of the use of cookies by Google Analytics here.
The Services may also enable third-party tracking mechanisms to collect information on our Services over time and across unaffiliated websites for use in online behavioral advertising. For example, third parties may use the fact that you visited the Website to target online ads for the Services to you on websites that are not affiliated with UInclude. In addition, our third-party advertising partners might use information about your use of the Services to help target advertisements unrelated to UInclude based on your online behavior in general. For information about behavioral advertising practices, including privacy and confidentiality, visit the websites for the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance.
The use of online tracking mechanisms by third parties is subject to those third parties’ own privacy policies, and not this Privacy Policy. If you prefer to prevent third parties from setting and accessing cookies on your computer, you may set your browser to block cookies. Additionally, you may remove yourself from certain targeted advertising by using the opt-outs offered by: Network Advertising Initiative; Digital Advertising Alliance; TRUSTe's opt-out tool; The Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (for users in Canada); and European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (for users in the EU).
Your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account.
We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other Personal Information we hold in our records, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time.
Depending on your location, including the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, and where applicable law requires, you may have the following rights with respect to your Personal Information:
If you want to learn more about the Personal Information that UInclude has about you, or you would like to exercise your choices regarding your Personal Information, please contact us by email at [email protected].
If you no longer want to receive marketing communications from UInclude, please follow the “unsubscribe” instructions that are included at the bottom of each message. Please note that if you unsubscribe from our marketing communications, you will still receive administrative messages.
Due to technical reasons there may be a delay in accessing or deleting your Personal Information from our systems if you request it. We also will retain Personal Information in order to comply with the law, protect our and others’ rights, resolve disputes or enforce our legal terms or policies, to the extent permitted under applicable law.
The information that we collect through or in connection with the Services is transferred to and processed in the United States for the purposes described above. UInclude also may subcontract the processing of your data to, or otherwise share your data with, affiliates or third parties in the United States or countries other than your country of residence. The data-protection laws in these countries may be different from, and less stringent than, those in your country of residence. By accepting this Privacy Policy, using the Services, or providing information to us, you expressly consent to such transfer and processing.
The Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and UInclude does not knowingly collect Personal Information or other Information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are under age 13 you may not, under any circumstances or for any reason, use the Services.
Under California Civil Code Sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to contact us to prevent disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes; in order to submit such a request, please contact us at [email protected].
We may update or modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will give you notice of the changes by posting an updated version online, updating the “Revised” date above, or, in the event of a material change, by emailing you at an email address you have provided. Changes to this Privacy Policy will be effective as of the date we post them or otherwise notify you of them, unless we specify a different effective date when we make a particular change. Your continued use of the Services will constitute your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to a change, you must stop using the Services. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes.
The Services may contain links to and from the websites or apps of other third parties. If you follow a link to any of these websites or apps, please note that these websites and apps, and any services that may be accessible through them, have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites or apps. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave the Website and to read the privacy policies applicable to such third-party websites and apps. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected in connection with the Services.
If you have any questions or comments regarding our privacy practices or this Privacy Policy, please send us an email to [email protected].
