PRIVACY POLICY

Senior Staff, LLC ("Senior Staff”) takes your privacy very seriously. We understand the importance of your privacy rights and we are committed to respecting those rights fully. This privacy policy describes the privacy practices we use on our website, www.seniorstaff.com (the "Site”). It does not apply to the privacy practices followed on any other website.

Links to Third Party Sites. We may provide links or references to other websites. We provide those links merely as a convenience for our customers and other visitors to the Site. If you access any of those links, you will leave the Site. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites or the owners of those sites. Also, we do not own or control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from ours. This privacy policy does not cover the personal data you provide through any third-party site or information the third party owners collect on their sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site and to review the privacy policy of every web site that collects personal information about you.

The Information We Collect

We collect personally identifiable information about you online only if you register with us as a customer or purchase products or services we make available on this Site. If you are just visiting the Site to view the information and services we make available, or if you only conduct a public search on the Site, we will not collect or retain any personal information about you.

Senior Staffer™ Registration.  If you register with us as a Senior Staffer™ customer, we will ask you for your name, mailing address, email address, and phone number. We will store this information in your profile on the Site (your "Senior Staffer™ Profile”).

During your initial Senior Staffer™ registration, you will also complete your Senior Staffer™ Profile by adding information about you as a candidate for employment. This information can include your educational background, any certifications or accreditations you have received, your work interests (e.g., preferred work schedule, industry preference, etc.), and your previous work experiences. The information you provide for the employment sections of your Senior Staffer™ Profile is entirely voluntary. You can enter as much or as little information as you want potential employers to see. You will also have the option to hide all of the information you enter in your Senior Staffer™ Profile from potential employers. If you elect to hide your Senior Staffer™ Profile from employers, you will still be able to search for jobs, see information regarding the employers who are offering the jobs in which you might be interested, and use the other Content on the Site that is reserved for our Senior Staffer™ customers.

Finally, we will need your credit card number to complete your registration and pay for your annual Senior Staffer™ subscription fees. The credit card information you provide us will not be retained as part of your Senior Staffer™ Profile. We will encrypt your credit card number before and during its transmission to our credit card processor, but we will not store that information in our records.

Choice/Opt-out. If you have register with us as a Senior Staffer™ customer and you would like receive newsletters or promotional communications we or our business partners may send our registered customers, you can indicate your preferences during your initial registration. If you no longer wish to receive those communications at a later date, you can opt-out by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication, by emailing us at , or by updating your opt-in/opt-out preferences in your Senior Staffer™ Profile. Finally, you can opt-out of receiving certain communications by contacting us using the information in the "How to Contact Us” section below. In any case, you understand and agree that, even if you elect not to receive marketing materials from us or our business partners, we may use the information you provide us upon registration to send you administrative notices regarding your account or other important notices about our services, as indicated in the paragraphs above.

Employers.
If you register with us as an employer, during the registration process we will ask you for general information regarding your company, including its name, type (i.e., commercial, government, non-profit, private), division or location, industry, the year it was founded, total number of employees, the URL of your website, and a short description of your hiring requirements. Senior Staff may supplement the information you provide us with third party information, such as a credit check, to validate your company information.

We will also ask you for the name, address, email address and phone number of a contact person at your company. That person will be our primary point of contact with your company. Your company can change our primary point of contact at any time by logging in to the company’s primary account on the Site and making the appropriate changes. We will use your contact person’s information solely for administrative purposes related to your company’s account. You can specify different contact information for each job listing you post.

After agreeing to our Terms of Use and choosing the length of your initial subscription, you will be able to choose whether you pay us by credit card or offline using a purchase order. If you select credit card payment, we will, obviously, need information regarding your credit card. If you elect offline payment, we will ask you to provide the appropriate billing address so that we can invoice your company for the applicable fees. We will store all of the information you provide during the employer registration in your company’s profile on the Site (your "Employer Profile”).

Refer-a-friend.
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our Site, we will ask for your friend’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the Site. Senior Staff stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at privacy@seniorstaff.com to request that we remove this information from our database.

Log files.
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the Site, to track users’ movements around the Site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data to any personally identifiable information.

Cookies and other tracking mechanisms.
We use cookies on the Site. As you may know, a cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site, except as noted in this paragraph. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following the directions provided in your Internet browser’s "help” file. We set a persistent cookie to store your userID and password, so you don’t have to enter them more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance your experience on our Site. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Site, but you will have to re-enter your userID and password every time you want to log into the Site.

Other than cookies, we do not use web beacons, clear gifs or other tracking mechanisms on the Site.

How We Use the Information We Collect

If you register with us, we will use the contact information you provide us to send you a welcome message that confirms your registration, as well as your userID and password. We will also use your information to send you notices regarding your subscription (such as renewal notices); service-related announcements (such as notices of service outages, security issues, system or functionality updates, expanded features or functions of the Site, or new jobs or employers we have added in your area); or changes to this privacy policy or the Terms of Use for our Site. Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you will have the option to cancel your account in accordance with the Site’s Terms of Use.
We may also use your information from time to time to send you special offers, promotions or newsletters we may offer only to our registered customers. Out of respect for your privacy, we give you the option not to receive these types of marketing-related communications. Please see the paragraph entitled "Choice/Opt-out” below for information.

Sharing personal information with third parties. We will not sell, rent, lend or otherwise transfer your personal information to any third party except as expressly set forth in this sub-section. We may provide your personal information to third parties who assist us in completing the services we provide to you, such as our credit card processor, the companies that hosts and supports our website, and the companies that deliver any products you may order from us. Finally, we may disclose information about you if we have a good faith belief that we are required to do so by law or legal process, to respond to claims, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Senior Staff or others. You will not have the ability to opt-out of disclosures to such third parties.
From time to time, we may also provide your personal information to our employer customers, advertisers or other business partners to allow them to offer special promotions exclusively to our registered customers. We will never give these business partners your credit card information or information from your profile other than basic contact information. Out of respect for your privacy, we give you the option to request that we not share your information with our business partners, so that you do not receive the promotions or other marketing-related communications our business partners may offer. Please see the next paragraph, entitled "Choice/Opt-out” below for more information on this option.

Your Access to the Information We Collect

If you register with us either as a Senior Staffer™ or an employer customer, you will always be able to access your personal information by logging in to your account on the Site. After logging in, you can see all of the personal information we have about you by clicking on "Your Profile.” You can also update, edit, or delete any information in your Senior Staffer™ Profile or your Employer Profile, as applicable. Finally, as indicated above, you can always update your opt-in/opt-out preferences in your profile.
If you would like, you can also ask us to send a copy of the personal information we have about you, or ask us to correct or delete the information we have, by sending a request to us using the contact information provided in the "How to Contact Us” section below.

How We Protect the Information We Collect

The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage, however, is 100% secure. As a result, although we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) during our registration process, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Our systems are tested regularly to ensure compliance with the latest standards set by the Payment Card Industry, and our databases are protected using a double layer of firewalls.

If you have any questions about security on our Web site, you can send email to us at privacy@seniorstaff.com.

Business Transitions

If Senior Staff should go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a substantial portion of its assets, your personal information will likely be among the assets transferred to the acquirer or merger partner. If that happens, you will be notified, either via email or a prominent notice on the Site for 30 days, of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any changes, such as a prominent notice on our home page, by email (if we have your email address), or some other means. Also, if any of those changes reflect a material change in how we use personal information we collected from you before the changes take effect, we will give you a chance to decide whether or not those changes will apply to you.
