All personal information you provide to us must be true, complete and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

Automatically collected information

In short: Certain information - such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or the characteristics of your browser and device - is automatically collected when you visit our website.

When you share personal information (for example, by posting comments, contributions or other content on the website) or otherwise interact with public areas of the website, such personal information may be viewed by all users and may be publicly available outside of the website in perpetuity. If you interact with other users of our website and register on our website through a social network (such as Facebook), your contacts on the social network will see your name, profile picture and description of your activity. Similarly, other users will be able to see descriptions of your activity, communicate with you within our website and view your profile.

In summary: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.

5. HOW DO WE MANAGE YOUR SOCIAL NETWORK ACCESS DATA?     

In summary: If you choose to register or log in to our services using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.

Our website offers you the possibility to register and log in using your third-party social media account data (such as your Facebook or Twitter login data). If you choose to do so, we will receive certain information about your profile from your social network provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider in question, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on that social media platform.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes described in this privacy notice or as otherwise disclosed to you on the applicable website. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy 

6. IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?     

In short: We may transfer, store and process your information in countries other than your own.

Our servers are located in the United States. If you access our Website from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored and processed by us at our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information (see "WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?" above), in the United States and in other countries.

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), these countries may not necessarily have data protection or other similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country. Nevertheless, we will take all necessary steps to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.

Binding corporate standards:

These include a set of Binding Corporate Rules ("BCRs") established and implemented by Hirebook Technologies Inc. Our BCRs have been recognized by the EEA and UK data protection authorities as providing an adequate level of protection for the personal information we process internationally. A copy of our BCRs can be found here: http://www.hirebook.com/terms.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?

In summary: We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice, unless otherwise required by law.

We will only retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the purposes set forth in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). None of the purposes of this notice will require us to retain your personal information for more than thirty-six (36) months after the termination of the user's account.

Where we have no legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete or anonymize such information or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup files), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from further processing until such time as deletion is possible.

8. HOW DO WE MAINTAIN THE SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION?

In short: Our goal is to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cyber criminals or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our website is at your own risk. You should only access the website in a secure environment.

9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In short: We do not knowingly collect or market data from children under the age of 18.

If we learn that personal data has been collected from users under the age of 18, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable steps to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware that we have collected data from children under the age of 18, please contact us at hello@hirebook.com.

We will consider and act on any such request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

If we rely on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to your withdrawal, nor the processing of your personal information carried out on the basis of lawful grounds of processing other than consent.

If you are resident in the EEA or the UK and believe that we are unlawfully processing your personal data, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in your country.

To opt-out otherwise, you may do so:

11. CONTROLS FOR NON-MONITORING FUNCTIONS

Most web browsers and some operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting that you can enable to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this time, a uniform technological standard for recognizing and applying DNT signals has not been established. Therefore, we do not currently respond to browser DNT signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you of that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

We may also use other methods of verification depending on the circumstances.

We will only use the personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or your authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid asking you for additional information for verification purposes. However, if we are unable to verify your identity from the information we already maintain, we may ask you to provide additional information in order to verify your identity, and for security or fraud prevention purposes. We will delete such additional information as soon as we finish verifying it.
