Although
Arabia! HotJobs respects the privacy of all those who visit our Web sites and
use our online services, we do collect information from our visitors, including
job seekers and customers. This Privacy Policy governs your interaction with
the Arabia! HotJobs web site and your registration for and use of Arabia!
HotJobs's online services (collectively, the "Services"). Except as set forth
within this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use and
other published guidelines, we do not release personally identifiable
information about our members and visitors without their permission.
Note that, by using the Services, you signify your agreement to this Privacy
Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use the Services.
Your continued use of the Services subsequent to changes to this Policy will
mean that you accept the changes; therefore, please bookmark this page and
review it periodically. If you have any questions regarding this Privacy
Policy, or any other privacy issues in connection with the Services, please
e-mail us at support@ArabiaHotJobs.com
A. The information we gather.
Arabia! HotJobs gathers two types of information
about users:
1. Non-personally identifiable information (information that does not identify a
specific individual):
When visitors use the Services, we collect and aggregate information
indicating, among other things, which pages were visited, the order in which
they were visited, and which links were "clicked." Collecting such information
involves the collection and logging of IP addresses, operating system, and
browser software used by each user of the Services. Although such information
is not personally identifiable, we can determine from the IP address a
visitor's Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of his or her
point of connectivity.
The non-personally identifiable information we collect helps us identify the
most popular areas of our web site and determine the effectiveness of our
promotional activities. In addition, we may disclose some of this information
to advertisers to inform them of the number of people who have seen and/or
clicked through their advertisements.
We collect non-personally identifiable information in part through the use of
"cookies" - that is, small text files placed on your computer's hard drive -
that help us determine the type of content and pages to which you link, the
length of time you spend at any particular area of the Services, and the
Services you choose to use. Cookies also tell us which advertisements you have
seen on our Services, allowing us to continue to provide many of these Services
at little or no cost to you. Essentially, cookies are your identification cards
for the Arabia! HotJobs computers or servers that placed them there. Cookies
are only read by the server that placed them, and are unable to execute any
code or virus; they will not permit a Web site operator to learn any personally
identifiable information (see below) about you unless you have previously
provided that information to the Web site operator or you have set the
preferences in your browser to provide this information.
Cookies allow Arabia! HotJobs to serve you better and more efficiently, and to
personalize your experience with the Services - for example, by allowing us to
save your password so that you do not have to reenter it each time you use the
Services. Nevertheless, you should be able to control how and whether cookies
will be accepted by your web browser. For more information on how to do so,
please refer to the documentation Companying your browser.
Arabia! HotJobs uses pixels, or transparent GIF files, to help manage online
advertising. These GIF files are provided by our ad management partner,
DoubleClick. These files enable DoubleClick to recognize a unique cookie on
your Web browser, which in turn enables us to learn which advertisements bring
users to our website. The cookie was placed by us, or by another advertiser who
works with DoubleClick. With both cookies and Spotlight technology, the
information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally
identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or
email address. For more information about DoubleClick, including information
about how to opt out of these technologies, go to
http://www.doubleclick.net/us/corporate/privacy
.
Please note that our advertisers and their designees, as well as other third
parties, may collect information about you through cookies or other
technologies when they serve advertisements through the Services or when you
visit their Web site(s). Additionally, the Services contain links to other
third party Web sites, including co-branded or other affiliated sites which may
or may not be owned or operated by or in conjunction with Arabia! HotJobs. You
acknowledge that we do not monitor or control the information collection or
privacy practices of any third parties, and are not responsible for their
practices or the content of their web sites, including their use of any
information (such as IP number, browser type, or operating system) collected
when visitors or Members "click through" links to their sites or view
advertisements served by them. Even though certain information collected by
such third parties might not identify you personally, we strongly encourage you
to become familiar with their privacy practices, and to contact such third
parties if you have any questions about their respective privacy policies.
2. Personally identifiable information:
In certain areas of the Services - such as those in which you Announce
Availability, complete a profile, submit your résumé, create a new account, or
enter Arabia! HotJobs-sponsored contests or promotions - we may request that
you provide us with certain personally identifiable information, such as your
e-mail address, name, zip code, profession, or work experience. We will, in
such situations, seek to identify which informational items are required and
which are optional.
Job seekers should post profiles and resumes on Arabia! HotJobs only if they
wish such information to be viewed by Arabia! HotJobs's customers. At any time,
job seekers may elect that their profile and resume not be searchable by
Arabia! HotJobs's customers by logging into their account and changing the
status of their profile or, if that is not possible, they may contact Arabia!
HotJobs at support@ArabiaHotJobs.comand
we will make the change for them.
In addition, job seekers may elect to make their profile searchable by Arabia!
HotJobs customers on a confidential basis only. In this case, the user's name,
contact information and resume will not be displayed to customers performing
searches on Arabia! HotJobs. If the customer desires to contact the
confidential job seeker regarding an employment opportunity, they will send an
email to the job seeker through the Arabia! HotJobs system. Arabia! HotJobs
will forward the email to the seeker's email address. The seeker's email
address will not be provided directly to the customer.
The Services are not available to children under 13 years of age. We do
not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under
13 years of age.
Please note that Arabia! HotJobs cannot control the acts of users of the
Services. All members and visitors should be aware that, when they disclose
personally identifiable information in a resume or profile or other medium, the
information may be collected and used by others to send that person unsolicited
email from other parties outside Arabia! HotJobs. In the event that you
encounter any Arabia! HotJobs user who is improperly collecting or using
information about you or other users, please contact
support@ArabiaHotJobs.com.
B. How we use (and do not use) the information we gather.
Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the different ways we use
the information we gather. Keep in mind that, while Arabia! HotJobs encourages
all third parties involved - including but not limited to its advertisers - to
adhere to our policies regarding the privacy of our visitors and members and to
otherwise handle personal information in a responsible manner, we cannot and do
not assume any responsibility for any actions or omissions of third parties,
including the manner in which they use information received either from Arabia!
HotJobs or independently. Nevertheless, in the event you encounter any third
party associated with, or who claims association with Arabia! HotJobs, who you
feel is improperly collecting or using information about you, please contact
support@ArabiaHotJobs.com . We will be happy to forward your message to
the third party or contact the third party on your behalf.1. How we use (and do
not use) non-personally identifiable information:
We use non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form to build
higher quality, more useful Services by performing statistical analyses of the
collective characteristics and behavior of our visitors and members, and by
measuring demographics and interests regarding specific areas of the Services.
We may provide statistical information based on this data to advertisers and
other current and potential business partners. We may also use the aggregate
data to inform these third parties as to the number of people who have seen and
clicked through links to their sites.
2. How we use (and do not use) personally identifiable information:
Arabia! HotJobs does not sell, re-sell or distribute for re-sale your
personally identifiable information. Arabia! HotJobs's customers may only use
the information provided in resumes and profiles of job seekers to evaluate
seekers' qualifications for the customer's open job opportunities. Job seekers
should be aware, however, that Arabia! HotJobs has no way to control how a
customer actually uses the service and how they use the resume and profile
information. If you believe a Arabia! HotJobs customer is using personally
identifiable information inappropriately, please notify Arabia! HotJobs at
support@ArabiaHotJobs.com.
Please note that Arabia! HotJobs reserves the right to disclose information
submitted by or concerning any visitor or member as we reasonably feel is
necessary to protect our systems or business. Specifically, but without
limitation, we reserve the right to disclose such information when a visitor or
member is in violation of our Terms of Use or other
published guidelines, or partakes (or is reasonably suspected of partaking) in
any harmful, infringing or illegal activity, even without a subpoena, warrant,
or other court order, and to disclose such information in response to court and
governmental orders, civil subpoenas, discovery requests, and as otherwise
required by law, as well as in response to allegations of infringement. We
cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who may be using
our servers or services for illegal activities. We also reserve the right to
report any suspected illegal activity to law enforcement for investigation or
prosecution, or to suspend or terminate your membership in connection with any
suspected illegal or infringing activity. Finally, Arabia! HotJobs reserves the
right to assign, sell, license, or otherwise transfer to a third party your
personally identifiable information in connection with an assignment, sale,
joint venture, or other transfer or disposition of any portion or all of
Arabia! HotJobs's or its affiliated entities' assets or stock.
Subject to the foregoing, Arabia! HotJobs uses your personally identifying
information in several ways:
-
to customize various aspects of the Services to your preferences;
- to
determine which advertisements or sponsor messages will appear on your screen;
- to
send to you Arabia! HotJobs solicitations, product announcements, and the like
that we feel may be of interest to you (you may "opt out" of receiving these
materials, as provided below);
- to send to you certain e-mail messages that
are critical to your use of the Services, such as system status updates or
order confirmations (because these messages contain important information, you
may not be able to "opt out" of receiving such messages);
- to "pre-populate"
forms that are displayed for the purpose of collecting individual data by
Arabia! HotJobs and/or its sponsors (in no case will pre-populating a form
automatically transfer any data to an advertiser or other third party - only if
you voluntarily request that such data be transferred will any such transfer
take place, e.g., by clicking the "Submit" button); and
- as may be necessary to
support the operation of the Services, such as for billing, account
maintenance, and record-keeping purposes.
In addition to the circumstances described above, Arabia! HotJobs may disclose
your personally-identifiable information to third parties as follows:
-
When a job seeker posts a profile or resume on Arabia! HotJobs on a
non-confidential basis, such information will be shared with Arabia! HotJobs's
customers. (Note that at any time, job seekers may elect that their profile and
resume not be searchable by Arabia! HotJobs's customers by logging into their
account and changing the status of their profile or they may contact Arabia!
HotJobs at support@ArabiaHotJobs.comand
we will make the change for them.)
- When a job seeker elects to make his or her
profile searchable by Arabia! HotJobs customers on a confidential basis only,
the user's name, contact information and resume will not be displayed to
customers performing searches on Arabia! HotJobs. If the customer desires to
contact the confidential job seeker regarding an employment opportunity, it
will send an email to the job seeker through the Arabia! HotJobs system.
Arabia! HotJobs will forward the email to the seeker's email address. The
seeker's email address will not be provided directly to the customer.
-
-
If you "opt in" to receive promotional materials (see below), information you
have made available to Arabia! HotJobs may be made available to third parties
who provide goods or services that we believe may be of interest to you.
-
-
If you provide us with your credit card information, we will not release that
information to third parties unless necessary to complete a transaction between
you and such a third party. Credit card transactions are handled by a
third-party financial institution, which receives the credit card number and
other personal identifying information only to verify the credit card numbers
and process transactions.
- All information made available to Arabia! HotJobs may
be made available to our contractors and consultants, and professional advisors
(such as attorneys or accountants), but only to the extent necessary for them
to perform services on our behalf, and only under a duty of confidentiality.
3. "Opting In": You may choose to "opt in" to receive promotional
materials from Arabia! HotJobs and/or its affiliates, advertisers, or other
business partners. You will be given the opportunity to "opt in" to receive
such materials at every point at which we collect personally identifiable
information through the Services. You may change your "opt in" status or "opt
out" with respect to such materials at any time by contacting us at
support@ArabiaHotJobs.com
. You may also contact those third parties directly.
C. Surveys and Sweepstakes:
Occasionally, Arabia! HotJobs may conduct surveys in order to better deliver
advertisements and content and to better understand your needs relating to the
Services. We will not share your survey information with any third party,
except in aggregate form. In addition, if and when we sponsor sweepstakes or
other promotions, or third parties sponsor such promotions in conjunction with
us, either we or the third party will post relevant privacy information in the
official rules and/or registration area for the sweepstakes or promotion. That
privacy information, to the extent it conflicts with this Policy, will govern
that particular promotion or sweepstakes - please remember to read it
carefully.
D. Deleting or correcting personal information.
If you would like to have your personally identifiable information removed from
Arabia! HotJobs's database, or would like to correct an error in such
information, please contact us at support@ArabiaHotJobs.com,
and we will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request. Keep in mind,
however, that there will be residual information that will remain within
Arabia! HotJobs databases, access logs, and other records, which may or may not
contain such personally identifiable information. The residual information will
not be used for commercial purposes; however Arabia! HotJobs reserves the
right, from time to time, to re-contact former customers or users of Arabia!
HotJobs.
