5) Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

 

Some of our web pages utilize “cookies” and other tracking technologies. A “cookie” is a small text file that may be used to collect information about website activity. Some cookies and tracking technologies may serve to recall personal information previously indicated by a website user. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether to accept them and how to remove them.

 

You can configure most browsers to notify you when you receive a cookie or choose to block cookies, but please be aware that if you decide to erase or block cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to access certain parts of the Site.

 

Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names, Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser software and operating system types, clickstream patterns, and access dates and times. Our use of cookies and tracking technologies helps us enhance our website and improve your online experience. We may also analyze information that does not contain personal information for trends and statistics.

 

6) Google Analytics

 

Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google, which tracks and reports website traffic. Google utilizes the data collected to monitor and analyze the use of our service and shares this data with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to personalize the ads of its advertising network. You can opt out of making your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about your activity.

Our Services may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s website.

10) Resume Information

 

Depending on the profile status you select, your resume may be accessible to potential employers.

However, you may only use it for applying online through our Site and deny access to others.

 

We may offer you the option to receive text messages from GoomHR.com when an employer is interested in your resume/job profile or when an employer seeks to contact you based on your resume or has responded to your application.

We cannot guarantee that third parties will not gain access to your resume, and we are not responsible for the use of your resume by third parties who have access to our database while your profile status is visible. When your profile status is visible, we are not responsible for the privacy, secrecy, or retention of your resume and personal information.

 

You have the option to edit, update, and remove your resume at any time. However, parties who previously had access to our database while your resume or profile was visible may have retained a copy of your resume in their own files. We cannot be held responsible for such retention or storage. Please remember that once you post your resume on our Site with a visible profile, anyone can access it, and we have no control over such access and use of your resume/information by third parties. In cases where your profile status is anonymous and you apply for a job on our Site, the prospective employer may also retain a copy of your resume and profile.

Your password is the key to your account/profile. You shall be solely responsible for all the activities happening under your username, and you must keep your password secure. Do not disclose your password to anyone. If you share your password or your personal information with others, you shall be solely responsible for all actions taken under your username, and you may lose substantial control over your personal information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password.

 

15) Site Children’s Personal Information

 

We do not target any of our products or services directly at children under the age of eighteen (18), and we do not knowingly collect personal information about children under the age of eighteen (18). If you are under the age of eighteen (18) or the age of majority in your local jurisdiction, you must use the Site under the supervision of your parent, legal guardian, or responsible adult.

 

16) Security

 

The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter your personal information, we treat the data as an asset that must be protected and use tools (encryption, passwords, physical security, etc.) to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100 percent (100%) secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security, and we cannot guarantee that third parties will not unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Other users may also abuse or misuse your personal information that you provide. Therefore, although we work hard to protect your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private. Please note that information collected by third parties may not have the same security protections as information you submit to us, and we are not responsible for protecting the security of such information.
