RHOJobs may sometimes afford you the opportunity to provide descriptive,

If you do provide such information, you are thereby consenting to the
use of that information in accordance with the policies and practices

for the purpose of determining your potential interest in receiving
email or other communications about particular products or services.

public areas of RHOJobs, or in the searchable resume database, such
information may be collected and used by others over whom RHOJobs has
no control. We are not responsible for the use made by third parties
of information you post or otherwise make available in public areas

and RHOJobs Networking profile information except for an archival copy
which is not accessible on the Internet.

Disclosure of Information to Others
We do not disclose to third parties your personal information, combined
personal and demographic information or information about your use of
the RHOJobs RHOJobs Web Site (such as the areas you visit or the services
you access), except as set forth below.
1. 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 a MyRHOJobs account, we may supply your
contact information to third parties such as employers, recruiters,
data aggregators, marketers or others for the purpose of sending you
e-mail or otherwise communicating with you. We may use data we have
about you (such as the interests and preferences you have expressed)
to determine whether you might be interested in the products or services
of a particular third-party
2. We may disclose such information to companies and individuals we
employ to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include hosting
our Web servers, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing
credit card payments, and providing customer service. These companies
and individuals will have access to your personal information as necessary
to perform their functions, but they may not share that information
with any other third party.
3. We may disclose such information if legally required to do so, if
requested to do so by a governmental entity or if we believe in good
faith that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements
or comply with legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of
RHOJobs or its affiliated associations; (c) prevent a crime or protect
national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of users or the
public.
4. We may disclose and transfer such information to a third party who
acquires all or a substantial portion of RHOJobs' 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 RHOJobs
becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, whether voluntary or
involuntary, RHOJobs or its trustee in bankruptcy may sell, license
or otherwise dispose of such information in a transaction approved by
the bankruptcy court.
RHOJobs may also share aggregated anonymous information about visitors
to each of its RHOJobs Web Sites (for example, the number of visitors
to RHOJobs' Industry Partners/Sponsors Area) with its clients, partners
and other third parties so that they may understand the kinds of visitors
to RHOJobs' site and how those visitors use the site.
Resumes
Since RHOJobs is a career site, we give you the option of putting your
resume in our database. There are two ways of doing this:
1. You can store your resume in our database, but not allow it to be
searchable by potential employers. This is called a “Confidential” Resume.
Not allowing your resume to be searchable means that you can use it
to apply for a job online, but employers and recruiters will not have
access to search it through our resume database.
2. If you allow your resume to be searchable, then all parties with
access to our searchable resume database (or copies thereof) will have
access to your resume.
We attempt to limit access to our searchable resume database (or copies
thereof) only to RHO Staff, paying employers, recruiters, hiring managers,
headhunters, and human resource professionals, as well as law enforcement
and national security agencies, but cannot guarantee that other parties
will not gain access to this database. We are not responsible for the
use made of resumes by third parties who access such resumes while they
are in our searchable database. You may remove your resume from our
searchable database, or delete your profile from RHOJobs Networking,
at any time. However, employers, recruiters and others who have paid
for access to that database or to obtain a copy of that database, as
well as parties who have otherwise gained access to the database, may
have retained a copy of your resume or Networking profile in their own
files or databases. We are not responsible for the retention, use or
privacy of resumes or profiles in these instances.
Use of Cookies
RHOJobs uses "cookies" to help personalize and maximize your
online experience and time online. A cookie is a text file that is placed
on your hard drive by a Web page server. Cookies are not used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned
to your computer, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain
that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web
server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you
personalize RHOJobs pages, or register for services, a cookie helps
us to recall your specific information (such as user name, password
and preferences). Because of our use of cookies, we can deliver faster
and more accurate results and a more personalized site experience. When
you return to the RHOJobs site, the information you previously provided
can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized.
You may have the ability to accept or decline cookies. 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 RHOJobs RHOJobs Web Site.
Updating Your Information
You may review, correct, update or change your MyRHOJobs account profile
information at any time. Simply log into your MyRHOJobs account.
If you opted to receive newsletters, commercial e-mails or other communications
from RHOJobs or third parties at the time you registered with MyRHOJobs,
but subsequently change your mind, you may opt-out by editing your Account
Profile as described above. If you previously opted not to receive such
communications, you may later opt-in by editing your Account Profile.
Security
RHOJobs has implemented reasonable technical and organizational measures
designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and
from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, we
cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able
to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper
purposes.
Children
RHOJobs is not intended for children under 16 years of age. We do not
knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.
