Privacy Policy |
Your privacy is our top concern. We work hard to earn and keep your trust, so we adhere to the following principles to protect your privacy: * We will never rent or sell your personally identifiable information to third parties for marketing purposes Notice of all changes that materially affect ways in which your personally identifiable data may be used or shared will be posted in updates to our Privacy Policy. If you continue to use the MyWorkster.com service after notice of changes have been sent to you or published on our site, you hereby provide your consent to the changed practices Please read this privacy policy to learn more about: 1. What personally identifiable information of yours is collected by MyWorkster.com. If users have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should contact MyWorkster.com by email via our Contact Form. Information Collection Registration: In order to become a MyWorkster.com user, you must first create an account on this web site. To create an account you are required to provide the following contact information: name, email address, password, and network. Profile Information: Once a user, you may provide additional information in the Profile section describing your skills, background, professional experiences, and networking objectives. Providing additional information beyond what is required at registration is entirely optional, but enables you to better identify yourself and find new opportunities in the MyWorkster.com system. Information about your Contacts You may also choose to manually enter or upload data about your contacts into the private “My Contacts” section of our website. All information entered there will only be viewable by you and will not be searchable by others in the MyWorkster.com network without your permission. All information that you enter or upload about your contacts will be covered by the same terms of this privacy policy as cover your own personally identifiable information. Cookies & Log Files: Like most web sites, MyWorkster.com uses cookies and web log files to track site usage. A cookie is a tiny data file which resides on your computer which allows MyWorkster.com to recognize you as a user when you return to our site using the same computer and web browser. Unfortunately, if your browser settings do not allow cookies, you will not be able to use our website. Like the information you enter at registration or in your Profile, cookie and log file data is used to customize your experience on the web site. Due to the communications standards on the Internet, when you visit the MyWorkster.com web site we automatically receive the URL of the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave MyWorkster.com. We also receive the Internet protocol (IP) address of your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer operating system and type of web browser you are using, as well as the name of your ISP. This information is used to analyze overall trends to help us improve the MyWorkster.com service. The linkage between your IP address and your personally identifiable information is never shared with third-parties without your permission or except when required by law. Web Beacons: We allow other companies, called ad networks, to serve advertisements to MyWorkster.com users. Ad networks include third party ad servers, ad agencies, ad technology vendors and research firms. MyWorkster.com may “target” some ads to users that fit a certain general profile — for example, “students in New York.” MyWorkster.com does NOT use personally identifiable information to target ads. To deliver these ads properly, MyWorkster.com may include a file, called a web beacon, from these ad networks within pages served by MyWorkster.com so the networks may provide anonym zed, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for advertisers as well as to target ads to you while you visit other websites. Because your web browser must request these advertisements and web beacons from the ad network’s servers, these companies can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. These general targets may also be used by ad networks to display targeted ads on other websites as a substitute for random, irrelevant ads. You will never see additional ads as a result of being a MyWorkster.com user and MyWorkster.com never provides personally identifiable information to any advertiser nor any third party. Children: Children are not eligible to use our service and we ask that minors (under the age of 18) do not submit any personal information to us or use the service. Information Use: MyWorkster.com is an online service dedicated to helping all types of students, universities, alumni, and professionals more effectively connect with one another. The personally identifiable information you choose to provide on this site is used to help you describe yourself to other users. Other information, that does not personally identify you as an individual, is collected by MyWorkster.com Corporation from the site (such as, by way of example, patterns of utilization) and is exclusively owned by MyWorkster.com. This information can be utilized by MyWorkster.com in such manner as MyWorkster.com, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. MyWorkster.com Communications: MyWorkster.com will communicate with you through email and notices posted on this website. Please be aware that you will always receive certain emails from MyWorkster.com related to the proper functioning of your account, such as email notices when another user in your network sends you an opportunity. MyWorkster.com may send you promotional information unless you have opted out of receiving such information. Customized Content: Information you provide at registration or in your Profile section is also used to customize your experience on the web site. For example, when you login to your account we will display the screen names of new users who have recently joined your network. Information Sharing MyWorkster.com takes the privacy of our users very seriously. We will never sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable information to any third parties for marketing purposes. We will only share your personally identifiable with third parties to carry out your instructions and to provide specific services. Third parties do not retain, share, or store any personally identifiable information except to provide these services and are bound by strict confidentiality agreements which limit their use of such information. We may provide aggregated data about the usage of our services to third-parties for such purposes as we deem, in our sole discretion, to be appropriate. We may segment our users by role (i.e. students / alumni), industry, geographic location, and company. Partnering with Other Organizations to Offer Combined Services: Communications Between Users: Many emails you initiate through MyWorkster.com, an invitation sent to a non-user for instance, will list your email address and name in the header of the message. Other communications that you initiate through the MyWorkster.com website, like a request for contact, will list your name as the initiator. If your privacy settings are set as such, your contact information will only be shared with another user if both of you have indicated that you would like to establish contact with each other. Legal Disclaimer: It is possible that we may need to disclose personal information when required by law. We will disclose such information wherein we have a good-faith belief that it is necessary to comply with a court order, ongoing judicial proceeding, or other legal process served on our company or to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. Accessing and Changing Your Account Information You can review the personal information you provided us and make any desired changes to the information, or to the settings for your MyWorkster.com account, at any time by logging in to your account on the MyWorkster.com website and editing the information on your Profile page. You can also close your account through the MyWorkster.com website. If you close your MyWorkster.com account, we will remove your name and other personally identifiable information from our publicly viewable data. We may retain certain data contributed by you if it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data, account recovery, or if required by law. All retained data will continue to be subject to the terms of the MyWorkster.com Privacy Policy that you have previously agree to. To request that we close your account and remove your information from the MyWorkster.com service, please send your request to our Contact Form. Please send your request using an email account that you have registered with MyWorkster.com under your name. Security In order to secure your personal information, access to your data on MyWorkster.com is password-protected, and sensitive data (such as credit card information for sponsored jobs) is protected by SSL encryption when it is exchanged between your web browser and our web site. To protect any data you store on our servers we also regularly audit our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks and we use a tier-one secured-access data center. Changes to this Privacy Policy MyWorkster.com may update this privacy policy.

Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.
