Collection and Use of Personally Identifiable Information
The personally identifiable information We collect from You allows Us to provide You with the Services. We will also use Your personally identifiable information to develop, improve and advertise the Services, and to pay referral fees, affiliate fees or commissions. We may also use Your personally identifiable information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis and research to improve Our Services and customer communications.
Personal information is information that can be used to identify You or any other individual to whom the information may relate personally. We do not collect personal information unless You choose to provide it to us. Some examples of personal information that We collect include, but are not limited to, Your name, email address, billing and mailing addresses and other information collected from You as a result of the employment process and/or Services.
We may also use Your personally identifiable information to send You important notices, such as communications about purchases and changes to Our terms, conditions and policies. Because this information is important to Your interaction with us, You may not opt out of receiving these communications.
Some of Our Services enable third parties to see Your personal information and to contact You in the course of the employment process and otherwise. Information that You post in public areas of the Website will be accessed, used and stored by others around the world, including those in countries that might not have legislation that guarantees adequate protection of personal information as defined by Your country of residence. By providing Your personal information for inclusion in Our database, You acknowledge that You consent to Your information being used as described herein. While HireIQ Solutions takes measures to safeguard Your information from unauthorized access or inappropriate use by third parties, HireIQ Solutions does not control these third parties and We are not responsible for their use of information that You post or otherwise make available in public areas of the Website.
We also share aggregated anonymous information about You with HireIQ Solutions’s clients, partners, other Website visitors and other third parties. We may also aggregate data on an anonymous basis with respect to job qualifications, schooling, age, experience level or other information relevant to the job search or competition among job seekers for any such job. Such aggregated data does not identify users individually, and may be made available to employers, fellow job seekers or community members.
We may supply technology, hosting, hiring management and related services to other companies in order to power recruitment areas on their respective websites (referred to as “Hosted Career Sites”). Personal and/or demographic information supplied by You via the Hosted Career Sites becomes part of the HireIQ Solutions database, but it is not accessible by anyone other than You, HireIQ Solutions and the company hosting the career site unless You have consented to sharing such information with other parties. If You attempt to register with HireIQ Solutions after registering with a Hosted Career Website, HireIQ Solutions will recognize Your information and You will be able to use the information You provided to the Hosted Career Website in Your HireIQ Solutions account registration.
Information gathered on a page in a Hosted Career Website area or on a co-branded website may be retained by both HireIQ Solutions and the other company. In that instance, the use of such information by the other company will be subject to the privacy policy of that company and HireIQ Solutions is not responsible for that company’s use of Your personal or demographic information.

You should understand that this information should only be used by employers in accordance with applicable law. However, HireIQ Solutions is not responsible for the actions of such employers.

Because HireIQ Solutions is a United States limited liability company and information collected on Our Website is stored in whole or in part in the United States, Your information may be subject to U.S. law.
Finally, We may disclose and transfer such information to a third party who acquires any or all of HireIQ Solutions’s business units, 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 that HireIQ Solutions becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, HireIQ Solutions or its liquidator, administrator, receiver or administrative receiver may sell, license or otherwise dispose of such information in a transaction approved by the bankruptcy court. You will be notified of the sale of all or a substantial portion of Our business to a third party by email or through a prominent notice posted on the Website.
