PRIVACY POLICY
The AkronWorks Employment Center is at all times interested in providing you with the best possible user experience. Part of our service to you includes a strong commitment to your privacy as our customer. To that end, we endeavor to provide you with a safe, secure service and use our best efforts to ensure that the information you submit to us remains private and is used only for the expressed purposes of the Employment Center. The following statements provide additional details about our privacy commitment.
General Information and Disclosure of Information
We gather information about our users collectively, tracking
such things as pages visited, number of searches performed, keywords
used in searches, etc. We only use this information anonymously
and in the aggregate. This information allows us to create a better
overall experience for you by gauging the level of traffic, speed,
and overall performance of the site. We may share this information
with our partners and advertisers to help them better understand
our site and services. When we do this, it is only in the aggregate
and no information specific to you is released.
User Specific Information
We offer some services that require that we contact you via
email. We will from time to time send you a message from the AkronWorks
Employment Center. These messages may contain information about
specific opportunities or announcements about enhancements to our
Web site. We do not sell, rent, or lease access to any users contact
information, type of computer, usage patterns, email address, etc.
We do not disclose this information unless it is required by law.
Resumes and Profiles
The AkronWorks Employment Center is a career and employment
Web site. As such, you can store an online resume and profile on
our site to send to employers or to allow employers to search for
you. We provide you with several levels of privacy control designed
to meet your individual needs.
You can store your resume in our database and allow potential employers
to search for your resume and profile. This means that employers
can actively seek you out and contact you when they are interested
in your skills. This is the default setting when you create your
online resume and profile.
You can mark your resume and profile as PRIVATE. Doing this removes
your contact information from the resume and profile. You can still
send your resume to potential employers (you decide if you want
contact information to be included) and potential employers can
still search for you. Your contact information is simply protected
until you decide to reveal it.
You can mark your resume and profile as HIDDEN. This means that
potential employers cannot search for your resume or profile. You
can still send your resume to employers and nominate yourself for
positions; employers simply cannot look for you.
Our most secure option allows you to mark your resume and profile
both HIDDEN and PRIVATE. In this scenario, potential employers cannot
search for your resume or profile, and when you submit a resume
to a potential employer, you control the amount of contact information
sent to the employer.
Children
The AkronWorks Employment Center does not collect information
specific to children and does not target children as users. We believe
that all children should have the consent of a parent or guardian
prior to accessing the Employment Center. Inasmuch as we cannot
control a child’s access to our site, we encourage parents
to utilize Web filtering technology to help you supervise your child’s
use of this site and the Internet in general.
Cookies
In order to optimize your experience, we utilize a common feature
of your browser known as a "cookie". Cookies are files
stored on your computer’s hard drive that maintain information
about your name, passwords, preferences, etc. The use of cookies
allows us to provide you with a faster better experience on this
Web site. If you are uncomfortable with accepting this information
from us, you may set your browser to reject cookies. Rejecting cookies,
however, will have a negative impact on your experience at our site.
You are Responsible
Ultimately, you are responsible for protecting your own privacy
online. We endeavor to provide you with the tools necessary to successfully
use our service and to protect your privacy. You are solely responsible
for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and your user account
information. Please exercise care and caution whenever you are online.
This privacy statement is for information only, and is not intended
to and does not create any contractual or other legal rights in
or on behalf of any party.
