Information We Collect and why We Collect it
We collect information, including Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”), on Our Sites and through Our Services, during the registration process and through Your use of Our Sites and Services that We believe will allow Us to better and more efficiently serve You in your career and job search. This information is not sold to third parties and is used solely for the purpose intended. For example, if you provide an email address with a job application, we will only communicate with you through that email for the explicit purpose of completing an application and applying for that specific job. We are a service provider for employers and do not sell your data to third parties.
​
Information We ask You to provide.
We may ask You to provide PII or allow JobSync and/or its Providers to identify or contact You. We may request this information when we ask or require You to register to use the Service. For example, We may request PII from You when You create an account, download an application or content through Our Sites, upload content (e.g., CVs, Resumes, Reviews, Photos, Videos, or other content) to Our Sites, subscribe to e-mail newsletters or other content made available, or report a problem with Your account or the Sites. As a registered subscriber or user, You may be able to download software, enter contests or sweepstakes, order e-mail newsletters or participate in additional services or other promotions. Further, the information you provide may be used by Employers and/or Advertisers to provide matching and relevant content and/or offers to you related to your career and job search.
Information your Device provides.
Information Your device provides passively about the device, the network it is on and the device’s location. Your use of Our Sites may result in the assignment of unique identifiers (IDs). Some of these IDs are generated by Your device and some of these are provided to Your device by Us or our Providers. These may be in the form or numbers or combinations of letters, numbers and other characters or other codes. These may be used to allow Us and Our Providers and others who assist Us in the support of Our Sites to know Your device’s location, web browsing movements or information about the environment near the device.
​
When you use Our Sites, your device may send us some or all of the following:
​
-
GPS Coordinates. The GPS coordinates of a device. On many devices, enabling or disabling “Location Services” or a similar setting controls whether the device sends GPS coordinates.
-
Internet Protocol (IP) Address. An IP Address is a number automatically assigned by Your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The IP address is the host computer a device uses to connect to the ISP’s network to send information to Us or to our Providers and for a device to receive information back from Us or from our Providers.
-
Device ID. A Device ID is a combination of letters and numbers that is unique to the device You are using. The Device ID identifies the device, regardless of who is using the device. On many devices, the Device ID is provided by the device manufacturer and stored permanently in the memory of the device. Depending on how the manufacturer configured the device, You may not be able to change it.
-
Advertising ID (AAID) or ID for Advertising (IDFA). These are combinations of letters and numbers that are unique to the device You are using. However, these identifiers may not be permanent. Depending on Your device, You may be able to reset them through the settings of Your device or Your browser.
-
Information about other devices that are near Your device. Your device commonly has several types of wireless communications methods, and each is enabled or disabled separately by You. If You are using a wireless or cellular connection, the device may log and transmit when it has come in contact or connected to other devices or components of the network the device is using. These include things such as:

-
When You enable a cellular connection, a cell tower near the device
-
When You enable Bluetooth, a Bluetooth beacon near the device

-
Information about the performance of Your device. This may include information such as how much battery power the device is using, the operating system and version the device is using and the version of Our application the device is using.
-
Cookies. Cookies are files with small amounts of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier.

This identifies the device the next time it accesses Our Sites through a browser. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if You do not permit the device to accept cookies, Your experience may not be optimal when You return to Our Sites because We may not recognize the device.

You can learn more about how we use these technologies here.
If you turn off “Location Services” or a similar setting that controls GPS functionality, the device still may automatically send or receive this other information as long as you have these other communications types enabled. You should read the instructions related to Your device, operating system or browser to learn about how to control the information Your device may transmit.
