How do I (the Web Site visitor) interact with mySplake.com. to affect how my information is used?
What type of information is covered by this policy? top
In order to operate the Web Site in an efficient and effective manner and provide users with information on job postings and services that may be of interest to them, mySplake.com may collect personal information, including contact information (such as an email address), from its users. In addition, this information allows us to provide users with private and secure areas to post and modify their original content on our Web Site (e.g., jobs and resumes). We also automatically track certain information based upon your behavior on the Web Site and use this information to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand, protect and serve users in general. This information may include the URL that a user has just come from (whether this URL is on our Web Site or not), the URL a user goes to next (whether this URL is on our Web Site or not), a user’s computer browser information, and their IP address.
You agree that mySplake.com may use your personal information to contact you and deliver information to you that, in some cases, is targeted to your interests (such as relevant job postings and services), or provides administrative notices or communications applicable to your use of the Web Site. By accepting this Privacy Policy, you expressly agree to receive this information. If you do not wish to receive these communications, we encourage you to opt out of any further receipt by following the opt out provisions provided in each such communication.
We do not sell our users' personal information to anyone for any reason if the user has indicated a desire for us to keep the information private. When posting jobs and resumes, our users decide for themselves how much contact information they wish to display (we enable private communication for those who choose to hide this information).
All users should be aware, however, that when they voluntarily display or distribute personal information (such as their email address or resume), that information can be collected and used by others. This may result in unsolicited messages from third parties for which mySplake.com is not responsible. Also, you may have arrived at this Web Site by following a link from a mySplake.com newspaper affiliate or other affiliate. If so, please be aware that mySplake.com may share your information with that affiliate and the affiliate may use the information consistent with its privacy policy instead of this one.
mySplake.com may also disclose specific user information when we determine that such disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, to cooperate with or seek assistance from law enforcement or to protect the interests or safety of mySplake.com or other users of the Web Site. 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 of mySplake.com.
mySplake.com cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. Therefore, although we are committed to protecting your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private. As a user of the Web Site, you understand and agree that you assume all responsibility and risk for your use of the Web Site, the internet generally, and the documents you post or access and for your conduct on and off the Web Site.
