Overview
Working In Paradise is committed to respecting the privacy of our
users. We strive to provide a safe, secure user experience. This
Privacy Statement sets forth the online data collection and usage
policies and practices that apply to all of our Web sites (unless a
different privacy statement is specifically made applicable). By
using a Rummi Web site, you consent to the policies and practices
described in this Statement.
Your data will be stored and processed in whole or in part in the
United States. If you access a Rummi Web site outside the United
States, your usage of that site constitutes consent to the transfer
of your data out of your country and to the United States.
Our sites contain links to other Web sites over which we have no
control. Rummi is not responsible for the privacy policies or
practices of other Web sites to which you choose to link from a
Rummi Web site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of
those other Web sites so you can understand how they collect, use
and share your information. This Privacy Statement applies solely to
the information we collect on a Rummi Web site, and does not apply
to information we collect in any other fashion.
Collection and Retention of Information
In
some areas of our Web sites, Rummi requests or may request that you
provide personal information, including your name, address, e-mail
address, telephone number credit card number, social security
number, contact information, billing information and any other
information from which your identity is discernible. In other areas,
Rummi collects or may collect demographic information that is not
unique to you such as your ZIP code, age, preferences, gender,
interests and favorites. Sometimes we collect or may collect a
combination of the two types of information. Examples of areas on
Rummi Web sites where we collect personal or combined personal and
demographic data are pages where you can open a Working In Paradise
account, sign up to use a service, post a resume, enter a contest or
purchase a product
In addition, Rummi may indirectly collect information about you when
you use certain third party services on our Web site. For example,
if you register on our site by using your Microsoft Passport user
name and password, you authorize us to have access to and store the
information in your Passport account profile; such information will
be subject to, and treated in accordance with, the policies and
practices described in this Statement.
We also gather or may gather certain information about your use of
our site, such as what areas you visit and what services you access.
Moreover, there is information about your computer hardware and
software that is or may be collected by Rummi. This information can
include without limitation your IP address, browser type, domain
names, access times and referring Web site addresses.
Rummi may sometimes afford you the opportunity to provide
descriptive, cultural, behavioral, preferential and/or life style
information about yourself, but it is solely up to you whether you
furnish such information. If you do provide such information, you
are thereby consenting to the use of that information in accordance
with the policies and practices described in this Statement. For
example, such information may be used for the purpose of determining
your potential interest in receiving email or other communications
about particular products or services.
Please remember that if you post any of your personal information in
public areas of Rummi, such as in online forums or chat rooms, such
information may be collected and used by others over whom Rummi has
no control. We are not responsible for the use made by third parties
of information you post or otherwise make available in public areas
of Working In Paradise or any other Rummi site.
Since we believe that managing your career is a life-long process,
we retain indefinitely all the information we gather about you in an
effort to make your repeat use with us more efficient, practical,
and relevant. Of course, you can correct or update your Working In
Paradise account profile and resume at any time. Moreover, you can
delete your resume from our online database or close your Working In
Paradise account at any time, in which event we will remove all our
copies of your resume and Working In Paradise account profile
information except for an archival copy which is not accessible on
the Internet.
Use of Information by Rummi
We
use the information we gather on a Rummi Web site, whether personal,
demographic, collective or technical, for the purpose of operating
and improving the Rummi Web sites, fostering a positive user
experience, and delivering the products and services that we offer.
We may also use the information we gather to inform you of other
products or services available from Rummi or its affiliated
companies or to contact you about your opinion of current products
and services or potential new products and services that may be
offered. (The term "affiliated companies" is defined in the section
of this Statement entitled "Contact Information.")
We may use your contact information in order to send you e-mail or
other communications regarding updates at the Rummi sites, such as
new Working In Paradise opportunities and additional listings which
may be of interest to you. The nature and frequency of these
messages will vary depending upon the information we have about you.
In addition, at the time of registration for Working In Paradise,
you have the option to elect to receive additional communications,
information and promotions including without limitation free
informational newsletters from Working In Paradise relating to
topics that may be of special interest to you, such as career
management advice.
We have an area where you can submit feedback. Any feedback you
submit in this area becomes our property, and we can use such
feedback (such as success stories) for marketing purposes or contact
you for further information.
Disclosure of Information to Others
We do
not disclose to third parties your personal information, combined
personal and demographic information or information about your use
of a Rummi Web site (such as the areas you visit or the services you
access), except as set forth in the following four subparagraphs.
-
We
may disclose such information to third parties if you consent to
such disclosure. For example, if you indicate that you would like
to receive information about the products or services of third
parties at the time you register for a Working In Paradise
account, we may supply your contact information to third parties
such as employers, recruiters, data aggregators, marketers or
others for the purpose of sending you e-mail 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
-
We
may disclose such information to companies and individuals we
employ to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include
hosting our Web servers, analyzing data, providing marketing
assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing
customer service. These companies and individuals will have access
to your personal information as necessary to perform their
functions, but they may not share that information with any other
third party.
-
We
may disclose such information if legally required to do so, if
requested to do so by a governmental entity 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 Rummi, Working In Paradise or its affiliated
companies; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or
(d) protect the personal safety of users or the public.
-
We
may disclose and transfer such information to a third party who
acquires all or a substantial portion of Rummi's business, whether
such acquisition is by way of merger, consolidation or purchase of
all or a substantial portion of our assets. In addition, in the
event Rummi becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding,
whether voluntary or involuntary, Rummi or its trustee in
bankruptcy may sell, license or otherwise dispose of such
information in a transaction approved by the bankruptcy court.
Rummi may also share aggregated anonymous information about visitors
to each of its Web sites (for example, the number of visitors to
Working In Paradise Diversity area) with its clients, partners and
other third parties so that they may understand the kinds of
visitors to Rummi's sites and how those visitors use the site.
Rummi supplies technology, hosting and related services to other
leading companies to power recruitment areas on their Web sites
(sometimes referred to as "private label recruitment areas").
Personal and/or demographic information supplied by you in private
label recruitment areas becomes part of the Rummi database, but it
is not accessible by anyone other than you, Rummi and the company
concerned without your consent.
Information gathered on a page in a private label recruitment area,
or on a co-branded page (such as that of a contest co-sponsored by
Rummi and another company), may become the property of the other
company or of both Rummi and the other company. 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, Rummi is not
responsible for that company's use of your personal or demographic
information.
If you
apply for a position through a co-branded site, you may be asked to
provide information on your age, gender or race. Some employers are
required by law to gather this information from job applicants for
reporting and record keeping requirements. You should understand
that if provided, 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.
Providing this information is strictly voluntary and you will not be
subject to any adverse action or treatment if you choose not to
provide this information.
Resumes
Since
Working In Paradise is a career site, we give you the option of
putting your resume in our database. There are two ways of doing
this:
-
You
can store your resume in 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 product.
-
If you
allow your resume to be searchable, then all parties with access
to our searchable resume database (or copies thereof) will have
access to your resume.
We
attempt to limit access to our searchable resume database (or copies
thereof) only to paying employers, recruiters, hiring managers,
headhunters, and human resource professionals, as well as law
enforcement and national security agencies, but cannot guarantee
that other parties will not gain access to this database. We are not
responsible for the use made of resumes by third parties who access
such resumes while they are in our searchable database. You may
remove your resume from our searchable database at any time.
However, employers, recruiters and others who have paid for access
to that database or to obtain a copy of that database, as well as
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.
Use of Cookies
Rummi
uses "cookies" to help personalize and maximize your online
experience and time online. A cookie is a text file that is placed
on your hard drive by a Web page server. Cookies are not used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely
assigned to your computer, and can only be read by a Web server in
the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web
server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if
you personalize Working In Paradise pages, or register for services,
a cookie helps us to recall your specific information (such as user
name, password and preferences). Because of our use of cookies, we
can deliver faster and more accurate results and a more personalized
site experience. When you return to the Working In Paradise site,
the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can
easily use the features that you customized. We also use cookies to
track click streams and for load balancing.
You may have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web
browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify
your browser setting to decline all cookies if you prefer.
Alternatively, you may be able to modify your browser setting to
notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept
or decline cookies on an individual basis. If you choose to decline
cookies, however, that may hinder performance and negatively impact
your experience on the Working In Paradise Web site.
Use of Web Beacons
Working
In Paradise Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web
beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) that allow us to count
users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded
services. Web beacons are not used to access your personally
identifiable information on Working In Paradise; they are a
technique we use to compile aggregated statistics about our Web site
usage
Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a
cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of
the page on which the Web beacon resides.
Updating Your Information
You may
review, correct, update or change your Working In Paradise account
profile information at any time. Simply log into your Working In
Paradise account, go to your Account Profile, review your account
information and, if you wish, edit it with the options provided.
If you opted to receive newsletters, commercial e-mails or other
communications from Rummi or third parties at the time you
registered with Working In Paradise, but subsequently change your
mind, you may opt-out by editing your Account Profile as described
above. If you previously opted not to receive such communications,
you may later opt-in by editing your Account Profile. .
Security
Rummi
has implemented reasonable technical and organizational measures
designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss
and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure.
However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will
never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal
information for improper purposes.
When you place an order online at Working In Paradise, your credit
card information is protected through the use of encryption, such as
the Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") protocol. SSL makes it difficult for
your credit card information to be intercepted or stolen while being
transmitted. Rummi uses a service company to process its credit card
transactions.
Children
Working
In Paradise is not intended for children under 18 years of age. We
do not knowingly collect personal information from children under
18.
