We may also acquire information about you from third parties in order to further personalize your experience.

We also use cookies and web beacons for tracking activity between you and to third parties.

Information Others Collect and Retain Summarized

We may allow third party advertising companies or ad networks to display advertisements on our websites. We do not provide personal information to these companies.

How Your Information is Used Summarized

Information you provide us by visiting our website and/or registering for services and products described on our Website, posting in public areas of the Website, or placed in a searchable database will be accessed, used, and stored by others around the world. We use commercially reasonable practices to provide a safe, secure environment by limiting access to our database to authorized persons with whom we are in a contractual relationship, but cannot guarantee that unauthorized parties will not gain access. We also cannot control how authorized persons store or transfer information downloaded from the database, so you should ensure that you do not post sensitive information to our Website (such as, social security number, driver’s license number, credit or debit card numbers, bank account numbers, etc.).

We use the information we collect about you to deliver the products and services we offer, and to operate and improve our Website.

Advertising Providers. Your phone number is not shared with third party advertising providers. We do not use your phone number to make phone calls of any kind. It is only used by us, or our service providers on our behalf, to provide the SMS Job Alert services you have requested.

FULL PRIVACY POLICY

Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes the types of personal information we may or do collect from you or that you may provide when you visit or use our Website or use our services (“Services”), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, disclosing, retaining, and transferring that information. By using or accessing our Website or the Services in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies described in this Privacy Policy (and as updated from time to time), and you hereby consent that we may collect, use, and share your information as described herein. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Website or our Services. Your use of the Website and our Services is at all times subject to our Terms of Use (available here, and as updated from time to time (the “Terms”), which is incorporated by reference herein). Any capitalized terms we use in this Privacy Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms. Our company is located in the United States. You may be located in a country that has laws which are more restrictive about the collection and use of your personal information. However, by using our Website, you agree to waive the more restrictive laws and agree to be governed by the laws of the United States.

This Website may also post links to other Websites over which we have no control. As such, we are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of other Websites when you choose to link from this site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those other Websites so you can understand how they collect, use and share your information.

We also do not control the data use practices of those persons or entities who may access your information on this Website for the purposes of providing the service or product you have requested or third party Ad Networks and other third parties with whom we work to serve you personalized ads on our site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and opt-out choices of those third parties so you can understand how they collect, use and share your information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We are constantly working to improve our Website and Services, and we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well. Our current Privacy Policy will always be on our Website so that you will always know what Personal Information we gather, how we might use that information, and to whom we will disclose it. Any updates will be effective upon posting. You are responsible for periodically checking this Website for updates. 

Information This Privacy Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of your personally identifiable information. “Personal Information” generally refers to any unencrypted or non-deidentified information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked with a particular person. However, the definition of Personal Information may vary depending on the state or country in which you reside, and that state’s or country’s definition will apply to your Personal Information in the context of this Privacy Policy. For California residents only, “Personal Information” shall have the definition as set forth in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and its successor, the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”). Please see the section below entitled “California Consumer Privacy Rights Notice” for more information.

Personal Information does not include your Personal Information that has been deidentified, pseudonymized, anonymized, aggregated, and/or otherwise processed so as to be unidentifiable in such a way that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific individual (by reasonable means) without the use of additional information, and where such additional information is kept separate and under adequate security to prevent unauthorized re-identification of a specific individual such that one could not, using reasonable efforts, link such information back to a specific individual (the foregoing in this sentence being referred to as “De-Identified Personal Information”).

No Information Collected from Children. We will never knowingly collect any Personal Information about children under the age of 18. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have collected Personal Information about a child under the age of 18, we will promptly delete that information from our database.

Information We Collect 

We collect the following categories of Personal Information about you: 

We also may collect Personal Information from you through means other than our Website. This may include offline collection, such as if you submit a paper application, make a payment by check, or call or visit our office. It also may include emails, text messages, or other electronic communications that you send to us separate from our Website or by way of our service providers. However, if we combine the Personal Information we collect from you outside of our Website with Personal Information that is collected through our Website or by another means as described above, the Privacy Policy will apply to the combined information, unless specifically disclosed otherwise.

Our Careers Website portal has information about employment opportunities with us, and contains a link which directs you to a third party’s website (but which contains our brands and employment opportunities) through which you can submit an application for employment. This application will request certain Personal Information of you. The Career Opportunities Privacy Policy set forth at the end of this Privacy Policy applies to our Careers Website and information collecting/processing, in addition to this Privacy Policy. That third party’s website has its own terms of use and privacy policy which you should review prior to submitting any Personal Information through that website. We may be provided your application, including some or all of the Personal Information (and other information) you submit. For job applicants in the United States, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, we may obtain reports from public records of criminal convictions or sex offender registrations. You agree to and do hereby consent to our use of such information, including your full name and date of birth, to obtain such reports.

Information Others Collect and Retain

The information that first-party and third-party cookies collect may be associated with your Personal Information or they may collect information, including Personal Information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services (i.e., tracking such activities).

We use, and some of our third-party service providers may use, Google Analytics (click for link to Google’s website) or other analytics service to help us understand the use of our Website and Services. Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google. Google utilizes data it collects to track and examine the use of our Website to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. Google may use the Data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. The Personal Information collected and processed may include cookies, usage data, and other internet information. This processing constitutes a sale based on the definition under the CCPA/CPRA. Residents of California can find information regarding how to opt out of the sale in the section below describing the rights of Californian consumers. Such service providers may place their own cookies in your browser. This Privacy Policy covers use of cookies by us only and not the use of cookies by third parties.

Google DART Cookie. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our Website. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on previous visits to our Website and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network privacy policy.

We, along with third-party vendors such as Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) or other third-party identifiers together to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions and other ad service functions as they relate to our Website.

Google DoubleClick Cookie. We work with DoubleClick Cookie Google, a third-party vendor, which uses cookies to serve ads on our Website. Google’s use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Website or other websites on the Internet. You may opt out of the use of the DoubleClick Cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings web page here.

Google Maps/Google Earth. We also use Google Maps (including the Google Maps API(s)) and/or Google Earth, which may, among other things, request access to your geolocation, and both of which are subject to their own terms of use and privacy policy.

We may use “persistent” cookies primarily to ensure that we do not show you pages that you have already seen and to personalize your Website experience and save you time. “Persistent” Cookies enable us to recognize whether you have responded to any questionnaire or registration or have already been presented with an advertisement or information placed on the Website so that we do not show you the same information again the next time you visit our site. The “persistent” cookies we use will remain on your computer after you have left our Website and will expire when you log out of the Website or 60 days after your last visit for security cookies, 90 days after your last visit for payment tracking cookies, or two years after your last visit for advertisement cookies.

We may also allow other companies to display advertisements to you while you are visiting our Websites. Because your web browser must request these advertisements from the other companies’ servers, these companies can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. We have no control over the practices of those third party advertisers and are not responsible for their technology or tracking. We encourage you to review the policies of such advertisers when you link to their website.

We may use local browser storage as a substitute for cookies. Only when collected, we may store first and last name, email address, zip code, and general job search preferences (including search location and keywords). 

Removing Cookies. You have the ability to accept, decline, move or remove cookies at any time by modifying your browser settings. Please see http://cookiecentral.com. If you choose to decline cookies, however, that may hinder performance and negatively impact your experience on the Website. You may also be able to disable placement of some (but not all) cookies by setting your browser to decline cookies, though this may worsen your user experience. If you delete your browser cookies, your opt-out cookie will also be deleted. Additionally, if you change computers or web browsers, you will need to opt out again. A useful resource for information about deleting and controlling cookies can be found at AboutCookies.org. 

Web Beacons. We also use electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs, clear gifs or action tags) that allow us to collect certain information about your visit to these Web pages (including the number of users who have visited those pages), measure and improve the effectiveness of advertisements, and deliver services. Web beacons are not used to access your personally identifiable information; they are a technique used to compile aggregated statistics about Website usage. Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of page view and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides. This information may be shared with one or more third parties so that they can understand the kinds of visitors to the Web pages, how those visitors use those Web pages, and the effectiveness of their advertisements. We may also use web beacons in email messages sent to individuals listed in our database.

Disabling Web Beacons. Because Web beacons are the same as any other content request, you cannot opt out or refuse them. However, they can be rendered ineffective by either opting out of cookies or changing the cookie setup in your browser.

JavaScript. We may also use JavaScript within certain advertisements. JavaScript is a computer language that enhances the functionality of websites, particularly in respect to pictures. We do not collecting any personal data via JavaScript but use it to analyze and improve the site’s functions.

Disabling JavaScript. You may deactivate JavaScript via your browser settings or activate it the same way. If you disable JavaScript you will not be able to use some of the functions of the website.

IP Addresses. We automatically track certain information based upon your behavior on the site. We may use this information to do internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand, protect and serve you and our community. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the Website or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the Website or not), your computer browser information, and your IP address. Your Internet Protocol (“IP”) is a unique Internet “address” which is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider (“ISP”). For local area network (“LAN”), DSL, or cable modem users, an IP address may be permanently assigned to a particular computer. IP addresses are automatically logged by Web servers, collecting information about a user’s traffic patterns. While the IP address does not identify an individual by name, it may, with the cooperation of the ISP, be used to locate and identify an individual using the Web. Your IP address can, however, reveal what geographic area you are connecting from, or which ISP you are using. Finally, other websites you visit have IP addresses, and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages.

Computer Profiles. We may also collect and accumulate other anonymous data which will help us understand and analyze the Internet experience of our visitors. For instance, We may accumulate visitor data relating to referring domain names, the type of browsers used, operating system software, screen resolutions, color capabilities, browser plug-ins, language settings, cookie preferences, search engine keywords and JavaScript enablement. When you provide us with Personal Identification Information, we are able to use such visitor data to identify you.

Third Party Use of Cookies, Web Beacons, and Hyperlinks

 Advertiser cookies and web beacons. Advertising agencies, advertising networks, and other companies who place advertisements on the Website and on the internet generally may use their own cookies, web beacons, and other technology to collect information about you. We do not control the use of such technology and have no responsibility for the use of such technology to gather information about you.

Hyperlinks. Our Website and email messages sometimes contain hypertext links to the websites of third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other websites. Such links are provided for your convenience and reference only. We do not operate or control in any respect any information, software, products or services available on such third party websites. The inclusion of a link to a website does not imply any endorsement of the services or the site, its contents, or its sponsoring organization.

Security

We endeavor to safeguard and protect your information. When you submit information at the website, such information is protected both online and offline. The servers in which we store Personal Information are kept in a secure physical environment. We have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of Personal Information under our control. Please be advised that, although we take commercially reasonable technological precautions to protect your data, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot and do not warrant that your information will be absolutely secure. Any transmission of data at or through this Website is at your own risk. However, access to your information is strictly limited, and not accessible to the public.

Tips For A Responsible Job Search. We actively monitor our Website for job postings that violate our Terms. If we detect fraudulent activity, we remove the job posting. However, fraudulent job postings can sometimes appear and we urge to you exercise caution in your job search. Please consider the following tips when conducting your search:

• Do not send money to a prospective employer.
• Do not give out personal or financial account information to a new employer via email.
• Do not cash checks or transfer funds for your employer.
• Beware of job postings that ask you to send your resume to a free email address.
• Do not include sensitive information like your social security number in your resume.
• Beware of job listings with spelling errors and bad grammar.
• If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
• Do your homework. Be sure to research any job opportunity that interests you.

If you see a suspicious job posting, please contact us immediately. If you think you have been the victim of fraud, immediately report the fraud to your local police.

How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals.

CalOPPA requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals. DNT is a privacy preference you can set in your web browser to indicate that you do not want certain information about your webpage visits collected across websites when you have not interacted with that service on the page. For details, including how to turn on DNT, see here. Because there currently isn’t an industry or legal standard recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we don’t respond to them at this time. We await the result of work by the privacy community and industry to determine when such a response is appropriate and what form it should take. 

Visitors can visit our Website anonymously by adjusting the settings in your browser.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable Consumer request to us by: using our webform available here or sending an email to us at privacy@LocalJobsInc.com. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable Consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable Consumer request on behalf of your minor child. You may only make a verifiable Consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable Consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. Making a verifiable Consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable Consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Verification Process

Email Verification Method: Upon receiving a data access or deletion request from you we will send an email to you at the email address we have for you on file. The email will ask you to respond to verify you as the Consumer making the request. Upon receipt of your verification we will match your information to that which is in our file. Upon verification of your identity we will proceed to process your request (subject to the exceptions stated above).

Webform Verification Method: When you submit a request using our webform (available here) we will match the information you submitted with the information we have for you on file. Upon verification of your identity we will proceed to process your request (subject to the exceptions stated above). We may not be able to comply with your request if (a) we are unable to verify your request, (b) if we are unable to match you with information in our database, or (c) if an exception under the law exists exempting us from complying with your request.

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) days of receiving it. We will respond to a verifiable Consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to an additional forty-five (45) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable Consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable Consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Please note that this right does not apply to business-to-business customers, employment applicants, or independent contractors to us, or if the disclosure of Personal Information is for purposes consistent with the California resident’s reasonable expectations, when considering the submission’s circumstances.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your Personal Information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the Personal Information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the Consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. But, as noted above, we do not intentionally collect or retain Personal Information of individuals under 18 years of age. California consumers who opt-in to Personal Information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the website webform here.

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize Personal Information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to Personal Information sales at any time here.

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use Personal Information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you simply for your exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA/CPRA, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services;
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including by refusing to gran discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or,
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

To make such a request, please contact us with “Request for California Privacy Information” in the subject line and in the body of your message.
