BuildAResume.com,
Inc. (hereinafter “Company”) shares your concern about personal privacy. Company recognizes that its customers,
visitors, users, and others (collectively or individually, the “Users”) who use
the BuildAResume.com website (the “Website”) value their privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines important
information regarding the use and disclosure of User information collected via
the Website. Company provides this
Privacy Policy to help Users make an informed decision as to whether to use or
continue using the Website. 1. General By
reference, this Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the Company
Terms and Conditions. Your use of the
Website and any personal information you provide via the Website or through
other official Company contact remains subject to this Privacy Policy, as well
as the Company Terms and Conditions, and/or other governing Company policies. You
are informed that any photograph, image, graphic, video or other content posted
by you or by other Users onto the Website becomes published news or
informational content, or the like, and is not considered personally
identifiable information subject to this Privacy Policy. 2. Resumes Since
Company operates a career site, we give you the option of uploading your resume
into our database. There are two (2) ways of doing this: a.
You can upload your resume into our database,
but not allow it to be searchable by potential employers. Not allowing your resume to be searchable means
that you can use it to apply for a job online, but employers and recruiters
will not have access to search it through our resume database service. b.
If you allow your resume to be searchable, then
all qualified employers and recruiters visiting our resume database service
will have access to your resume. We
use our best efforts to grant access to this database only to qualified
employers, recruiters, hiring managers, headhunters, and human resource
professionals, but cannot guarantee that other parties will not, without our
consent, gain access to this database. You may remove your resume from our searchable
database at any time. However, employers
and recruiters, as well as other parties who have otherwise gained access to
the database, may have retained a copy of your resume in their own files or
databases. We are not responsible for
the retention, use, or privacy of resumes in these instances, or for the use or
privacy of resumes by any of such parties while resumes are in the database. 3. Updating Personal Account Information Company
allows you to change or correct your personal account information at any
time. To do so, simply log-in to your
personal account, go to your account profile, and there you will find options
for editing the information you have submitted. 4. Collected Information Company
