Yourmembership Privacy Policy
Yourmembership maintains a great respect for the privacy and security of our users. We
recognize that the reason we can remain in business is because of you. Therefore
we will do nothing to jeopardize your trust and loyalty.
This Privacy Policy outlines the terms under which Yourmembership collects and uses your
information on our web sites. By using our services, you signify your agreement
to this Privacy Policy, and the way in which Yourmembership uses and discloses your information.
Yourmembership hosts and manages over 1,000 career web sites on behalf of our Partners.
If you visit a career site that is powered by Yourmembership, you may also see our Partner’s
logos, trademarks, and proprietary trade documentation on that web site. We strongly
recommend that you also review our Partner’s Privacy Policy before using the web
site. If you disagree with the way we collect, process and display personal and
non–personal information on our web sites, we recommend that you do not use
them. Although we make every effort to keep information confidential in accordance
with the functionality of our web sites, Yourmembership cannot and does not guarantee
the security, confidentiality, or privacy of any information or communication that
you submit to us. If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, please
email us at clientserv@yourmembership.com.
Information Collected by Yourmembership
Our web sites collect information from visitors, including jobseekers, employers,
recruiters and advertising agencies ("users"). You are not required to
give us personal information to perform job searches or to view content on most
of our web sites. Some Partners may require membership to their organization before
granting access to their career-sites. Yourmembership will however collect personal information
about you when you choose to create a jobseeker or employer profile, create a new
account, and/or upload your resume. Some examples of personal information that we
collect include: your name, address, email address, telephone number, credit card
number, contact information, IP address, billing information, profession, work experience,
and information about third parties, such as contacts or references that you provide
to us.
We may also collect behavioral information regarding how you use our sites and the
areas of our site that you visit to better serve you in the future.
Yourmembership may ask you for your credit card or bank information in order to process
payment for a transaction. We will not provide this information to any third party
unless it is used to complete a transaction for an item you purchased from that
third party via our web sites. Yourmembership will not ask you for your social security
number, drivers license information, marital status, hair color, eye color, etc.
You should not provide your credit card, bank, or any of the above personal information
to ANY prospective employers or recruiters that you encounter on our web sites.
Please make sure that you keep your username and password confidential.
All personal data will be processed and stored by Yourmembership in the United States.
United States laws regarding processing of personal data may be less stringent than
the laws in your jurisdiction.
How Information is Used by Yourmembership
Yourmembership collects personal and non-personal information to perform the service
of matching jobseekers up with potential employers. Our goal is to provide a beneficial
and positive experience for all parties using our services. By utilizing our services,
you have agreed to allow us to use your information, subject to local law, in the
following manner: To create a jobseeker profile for you based on information you
have provided to us; To provide information about you to employers and recruiters
at your request; To create an employer profile based on the information you have
provided us; To provide information about you and your recruitment advertisements
to jobseekers at your request; If an employer uses Yourmembership’s technology to post
an advertisement to a third party job board, that employer's contact information
may be shared with the operator of that third party; To contact you regarding changes
to your profile, service updates, products and services you may be interested in,
surveys, sweepstakes, and various other communications regarding our products and
services. We do not sell your personal information to anyone for any reason without

at any time by logging in and changing the setting of their profile. You may request

clientserv@yourmembership.com.
Yourmembership’s career center sites are not all the same. Some sites may have an anonymous
resume bank (employers can see your non-personal information, but not your personal
information until you respond to them), whereas other sites may have a public resume
bank (employers can see your personal and non-personal information). Job seekers
should familiarize themselves with that particular site’s services and functionality
before activating their resume, so they are aware of what information will be made
public.
If you use our service to build or post a resume in our database, you will be providing
us with personal data that will be used in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Your
resume should not contain sensitive personal information relating to your:
- racial or ethnic origin,
- political beliefs,
- philosophical or religious
beliefs,
- membership of a trade union or political party,
- physical or
mental health or genetic makeup,
- addictions, sexual life,
- the commission
of criminal offences or proceedings and associated penalties or fines, or
- any Social Security Number or national identification number, unless otherwise required
by law.
If your resume does contain such data then you agree that we may retain this information
and use it in accordance with this Policy.
Yourmembership does not disclose personal data to third parties without your consent.
If you select a product or service on our site that is offered by one of our affiliates,
you may be redirected to that affiliate’s web site, and some of your personal information
may be provided to that affiliate in order to assist them with the transaction.
Please be aware that our Affiliates may use your information consistent with their
own Privacy Policy, which may be inconsistent with our Privacy Policy.
Yourmembership may be required to disclose your personal information to law enforcement
officials to cooperate with the law. This disclosure would be to protect the interests
of Yourmembership and its users.
