DisabilityWORK.com Privacy Policy

DisabilityWORK.com is committed to good privacy practices regarding your personal information. Your loyalty as a job seeker, customer or visitor is important, and we hope that our concerns regarding your privacy, as described in this policy (the "Privacy Policy" or "Policy"), demonstrate our commitment to making your experience with DisabilityWORK.com an enjoyable and satisfying one.

Although DisabilityWORK.com respects the privacy of all those who visit our Web sites and use our online services, we do collect information from our visitors, including job seekers and customers. This Privacy Policy governs your interaction with the DisabilityWORK.com web site and your registration for and use of DisabilityWORK.com’s online services (collectively, the "Services"). Except as set forth within this Privacy Policy and our other published guidelines, we do not release personally identifiable information about our members and visitors without their permission.

Note that, by using the Services, you signify your agreement to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use the Services. Your continued use of the Services subsequent to changes to this Policy will mean that you accept the changes; therefore, please bookmark this page and review it periodically. If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, or any other privacy issues in connection with the Services, please e-mail us at support@disabilitywork.com.

A. The information we gather.

DisabilityWORK.com gathers two types of information about users:

1. Non-personally identifiable information (information that does not identify a specific individual): When visitors use the Services, we collect and aggregate information indicating, among other things, which pages were visited, the order in which they were visited, and which links were "clicked." Collecting such information involves the collection and logging of IP addresses, operating system, and browser software used by each user of the Services. Although such information is not personally identifiable, we can determine from the IP address a visitor's Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of his or her point of connectivity.

The non-personally identifiable information we collect helps us identify the most popular areas of our web site and determine the effectiveness of our promotional activities. In addition, we may disclose some of this information to advertisers to inform them of the number of people who have seen and/or clicked through their advertisements.

2. Personally identifiable information: In certain areas of the Services - such as those, in which you announce availability, complete a profile, submit your résumé, create a new account, or enter DisabilityWORK.com -sponsored contests or promotions - we may request that you provide us with certain personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, zip code, profession, or work experience. We will, in such situations, seek to identify which informational items are required and which are optional.

Job seekers should post profiles and resumes on DisabilityWORK.com only if they wish such information to be viewed by DisabilityWORK.com clients. At any time, job seekers may elect that their profile and resume not be searchable by DisabilityWORK.com clients by logging into their account and changing the status of their profile or, if that is not possible, they may contact DisabilityWORK.com at support@disabilitywork.com and we will make the change for them.

The Services are not available to individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from individuals under 18 years of age.

Please note that DisabilityWORK.com cannot control the acts of users of the Services. All members and visitors should be aware that, when they disclose personally identifiable information in a resume or profile or other medium, the information may be collected and used by others to send that person unsolicited email from other parties outside DisabilityWORK.com. In the event that you encounter any DisabilityWORK.com user who is improperly collecting or using information about you or other users, please contact support@disabilitywork.com immediately.

B. How we use (and do not use) the information we gather.

Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the different ways we use the information we gather. Keep in mind that, while DisabilityWORK.com encourages all third parties involved - including but not limited to its advertisers - to adhere to our policies regarding the privacy of our visitors and members and to otherwise handle personal information in a responsible manner, we cannot and do not assume any responsibility for any actions or omissions of third parties, including the manner in which they use information received either from DisabilityWORK.com or independently. Nevertheless, in the event you encounter any third party associated with, or who claims association with DisabilityWORK.com, who you feel is improperly collecting or using information about you, please contact support@disabilitywork.com. We will be happy to forward your message to the third party or contact the third party on your behalf.

1. How we use (and do not use) non-personally identifiable information: We use non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form to build higher quality, more useful Services by performing statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our visitors and members, and by measuring demographics and interests regarding specific areas of the Services. We may provide statistical information based on this data to current and potential business partners. We may also use the aggregate data to inform these third parties as to the number of people who have seen and clicked through links to their sites.

2. How we use (and do not use) personally identifiable information: DisabilityWORK.com does not sell, re-sell or distribute for re-sale your personally identifiable information. DisabilityWORK.com customers may only use the information provided in resumes and profiles of job seekers to evaluate seekers' qualifications for the customer's open job opportunities. Job seekers should be aware, however, that DisabilityWORK.com has no way to control how a customer actually uses the service and how they use the resume and profile information. If you believe a DisabilityWORK.com customer is using personally identifiable information inappropriately, please notify DisabilityWORK.com at support@disabilitywork.com.

Please note that DisabilityWORK.com reserves the right to disclose information submitted by or concerning any visitor or member as we reasonably feel is necessary to protect our systems or business. Specifically, but without limitation, we reserve the right to disclose such information when a visitor or member partakes (or is reasonably suspected of partaking) in any harmful, infringing or illegal activity, even without a subpoena, warrant, or other court order, and to disclose such information in response to court and governmental orders, civil subpoenas, discovery requests, and as otherwise required by law, as well as in response to allegations of infringement. We cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who may be using our servers or services for illegal activities. We also reserve the right to report any suspected illegal activity to law enforcement for investigation or prosecution, or to suspend or terminate your membership in connection with any suspected illegal or infringing activity. Finally, Dice reserves the right to assign, sell, license, or otherwise transfer to a third party your personally identifiable information in connection with an assignment, sale, joint venture, or other transfer or disposition of any portion or all of DisabilityWORK.com’s or its affiliated entities' assets or stock.

Subject to the foregoing, DisabilityWORK.com uses your personally identifying information in several ways:

To customize various phpects of the Services to your preferences;

To send to you DisabilityWORK.com solicitations, product announcements, and the like that we feel may be of interest to

To send to you certain e-mail messages that are critical to your use of the Services, such as system status updates or order confirmations (because these messages contain important information, you may not be able to "opt out" of receiving such messages);

To "pre-populate" forms that are displayed for the purpose of collecting individual data by DisabilityWORK.com (in no case will pre-populating a form automatically transfer any data to an advertiser or other third party - only if you voluntarily request that such data be transferred will any such transfer take place, e.g., by clicking the "Submit" button); and as may be necessary to support the operation of the Services, such as for billing, account maintenance, and record-keeping purposes.

If you provide us with your credit card information, we will not release that information to third parties unless necessary to complete a transaction between you and such a third party. Credit card transactions are handled by a third-party financial institution, which receives the credit card number and other personal identifying information only to verify the credit card numbers and process transactions.

All information made available to DisabilityWORK.com may be made available to our contractors and consultants, and professional advisors (such as attorneys or accountants), but only to the extent necessary for them to perform services on our behalf, and only under a duty of confidentiality.

3. "Opting Out": You may choose to "opt out" of receiving promotional materials from DisabilityWORK.com and/or its affiliates or other business partners. You will be given the opportunity to "opt out" from receiving such materials at every point at which we collect personally identifiable information through the Services. You may change your status with respect to such materials at any time by contacting us at support@disabilitywork.com.

C. Deleting or correcting personal information.

If you would like to have your personally identifiable information removed from DisabilityWORK.com’s database, or would like to correct an error in such information, please contact us at support@disabilitywork.com, and we will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request. Keep in mind, however, that there will be residual information that will remain within DisabilityWORK.com databases, access logs, and other records, which may or may not contain such personally identifiable information. The residual information will not be used for commercial purposes; however DisabilityWORK.com reserves the right, from time to time, to re-contact former customers or users of DisabilityWORK.com.
