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.
