Collection and Retention of Information
iHobnob may request you to provide personal information, including your name, address, email address, telephone number, credit card number, contact information, billing information and any other information from which your identity is discernible. IHobnob also may collect demographic information that is not unique to you such as your ZIP code, age, preferences, gender, interests and favorites. We may collect a combination of the two types of information. The iHobnob Web site collects personal and demographic data so that you can open an iHobnob account, sign up to use a service, post a career profile, or purchase a membership.

We may gather certain information about your use of our site, such as what areas you visit; what services you access or information about your computer hardware and software. This information may include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses and other similar data.

We may sometimes ask you to provide lifestyle, cultural, preferential, or passtime information about yourself, but it is optional to furnish such information. When you submit such information, you allow us to use that information in accordance with the policies and practices described in this Statement. For example, such information may be used for sending you email or other communications about particular opportunities, products, or services.

We remind you that when you enter any of your personal information in chat room, forums etc. of iHobnob, such information may be used by others over whom iHobnob has no control. We are not responsible for third parties use of information you provide in public areas of iHobnob.

You can change your MyiHobnob account and profile at any time. Moreover, you can delete your profile or close your MyiHobnob account at any time, but we will maintain an archival copy which is not accessible on the Internet.

1. To companies and individuals whom we engage to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include developing systems, hosting our Web servers, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service.

To third parties if you have consented to such disclosure, such as third parties such as employers, recruiters, data aggregators, marketers or others for the purpose of sending you email or otherwise communicating with you. We may use data we have about you (such as the interests and preferences you have expressed) to determine whether you might be interested in the products or services of a particular third-party
3. To the Kinsa Group, the consulting division of iHobnob and owners of the iHobnob Web site. Kinsa Group follows the Privacy rules of this Statement. This allows members of iHobnob to receive additional opportunities, products, and services that are not offered through the iHobnob Web site.
4. To government entities if required by law or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of iHobnob or its affiliated companies; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of users or the public.
5. To a third party who acquires all or a substantial portion of iHobnob’s business, whether such acquisition is by way of merger, consolidation or purchase of all or a substantial portion of our assets.

So that they may understand how visitors use the iHobnob site, we may share anonymous summary information with third parties.

Co-branding companies may use information from their co-branded page or may own or co-own that information (such as that of a web seminar co-sponsored by iHobnob and another company), and in that instance, the use of such information by the other company may be subject to the privacy policy of that company and, in any event, iHobnob is not responsible for that company's use of your personal or demographic information.

Some employers are required by law to gather information on age, gender or race from job applicants for reporting and record keeping requirements. This information will be used by employers only in accordance with applicable law and will not be used in making any employment decisions. All information provided will be kept separate from your expression of interest in any job opportunity. It is entirely optional to provide this information and you will not be subject to any adverse action or treatment if you choose not to provide this information.

1. You can store your career profile in our database anonymously, or blinded, allowing your profile to be searchable without your identity and enabling you to use an anonymous version to apply for a job online. Employers and recruiters will not have access to search an identified version through our profile database, unless you permit them.
2. You can allow your profile to be identified and searchable, and all parties with access to our searchable profile database (or copies thereof) will have access to your identified profile.

We attempt to confine access to our searchable profile database (or copies thereof) to paying iHobnob members (employers, recruiters, hiring managers, headhunters, and human resource professionals) as well as law enforcement and national security agencies. However, if unauthorized parties gain access to this database, we are not responsible for the use made of profiles by such third parties. You may remove your profile from our searchable database at any time. However, employers, recruiters and others who have paid for access to that database, as well as parties who have otherwise gained access to the database, may have retained a copy of your profile. We are not responsible for the retention, use, or privacy of profiles by unauthorized parties.

Beacons

Cookies
