This Privacy Policy describes the types of Personal Information we collect, the sources from which we collect it, how we use the information, with whom we share it, and the choices you can make about our collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information.

We also describe the measures we take to protect the security of your Personal Information and how you can contact us about our privacy practices. When you visit the Sites, provide us with information or publicly post information, you consent to our use and disclosure of the information we collect or receive as described in this Privacy Policy. We provide you choices that allow you to opt-out or control how we use and share your Personal Information.

Please review this Privacy Policy periodically as we may update it from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices.

  • Publicly available data about you from third party sites and sources, including profiles created by you on other websites, or other information you have publicly shared for the purpose of advertising or informing others about your background.
  • Username and password for the account you may establish on our Sites.

Many people invest significant time and energy to promote their professional reputation through public forums on the Internet. We gather information relevant to your career history and work experience from these widely dispersed publicly available sources, including social media sites you may be part of, forming a “Profile.” We make this Profile available to company-specific recruiters for recruitment leads in a database known as “Bullhorn One”. Although we may generate a Profile about you based on publicly available information, we also will include the information that you provide to us via any email, phone call, text message, or other documentation. Use of these Profiles are limited to recruitment lead generation and may not be used for determinations about employment or other eligibility.

ARR provides software applications (“Apps”) available to the public. If you decide to download one of our Apps, and if you authorize us to do so, we may collect your social media profile information, including your social network site user I’d, work email address, name, city, state, social network site profile image URL, and employment history, including job titles and company names. You may be asked to enter this information directly, or we can automatically collect it by syncing to your social media profiles. We request this information so that we may automate completion of registration forms or job applications with information stored in your profile. In addition, when you visit our Sites or use our Apps, we may collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies and web beacons or as provided to the app by your device’s operating system, as described in more detail below. The information we may collect automatically via the Sites can include:

ARR only uses your Personal Information that is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as permitted by law. If we seek to use the information we obtain about you in other ways, we will provide specific notice and request your consent at the time of collection.

Information We Share

We share the information that we collect from you or from third party sources with our affiliated companies, recruiters, and service providers. In the normal course of performing services for our clients, Personal Information may be shared within ARR and it’s affiliates for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy; as well as research and statistical purposes, system administration and crime prevention or detection.

Recruiters may use your information to contact you directly. Additionally, when you apply for a job with a company through the Sites, the information supplied by you or shared through ARR services may become part of such company’s database. Similarly, if your resume, CV, or your Profile is downloaded by a recruiter, your information may become a part of their database. In these instances, the use of such information by the recruiter will be subject to the privacy policy of that company, and we are not responsible for that company’s use of your information.

All users should be aware that when they choose to display or distribute Personal Information (such as their email address or other contact information on a public resume or CV) via the Sites or any other distribution method, that information can be collected and used by others. This may result in unsolicited messages from third parties. We also may share Personal Information with our service providers who help us in the delivery of our own products and services to you. These service providers are required by contract or law to only use or disclose the information as necessary to perform services on our behalf or as otherwise required by law. Where we have knowledge that a service provider or partner is using or disclosing Personal Information in a manner inconsistent with this Policy, ARR will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop such improper use and/or disclosure.

ARR preserves the right to disclose without your prior permission any Personal Information about you or your use of this Site if we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) protect and defend the rights, property or safety of ARR, employees, other users of the Sites, or the public; (b) enforce the terms and conditions that apply to use of the Sites; (c) as required by a legally valid request from a competent governmental authority; or (d) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third-parties. We may also disclose Personal Information as we deem necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.

In addition, Personal Information we have collected may be passed on to a third party in the event of a transfer of ownership or assets or a bankruptcy or other corporate reorganization of ARR.

Analytics

We may combine certain non-personally identifiable Aggregate Data, or otherwise anonymized or de-identified data about our users and use such data to prepare reports for our users (typically recruiters or educators). “Aggregate Data” for our purposes is demographic information (such as zip code, age, gender, race or ethnicity) and employment information (such as occupation, education and experience) of many individuals that is combined together. Aggregate Data is used to analyze the characteristics of various populations and does not identify any specific individuals. We may also use and share anonymized or de-identified data to track trends in the labor market as well as use of our products and services. Some Aggregate Data analytics reports can be used to better understand individual Profiles.
We also use third party analytics services to help better understand the use of our sites, which is further described in the Cookies section below.

Privacy Options for Resume Database

Submitting your resume or CV on the Sites puts you in front of recruiters with open positions each day. When you submit your resume or CV, we automatically add you to our database.

We attempt to limit access to our searchable databases to legitimate users but cannot guarantee that other parties will not gain access to these searchable databases. Accordingly, you should not put information you would not want made public in your resume, CV or to a public website.

Used in combination with cookies, a Web beacon is an often-transparent graphic image, usually no larger than 1 pixel x 1 pixel, that is placed on a website or in an e-mail that is used to monitor the behavior of the user visiting the Web site or sending the e-mail.
