Privacy Policy
We at ASIC Forum are committed to good privacy practices regarding your personal information. This Privacy Statement sets forth the online data collection and usage policies and practices that apply to the ASIC Forum. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
ASIC Forum does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies. We do not disclose your personal information to third parties, or your combined personal and demographic information or information about your use of ASIC Forum (such as the areas you visit or the services you access).
Although ASIC Forum respects the privacy of all those who visit our Web site and use our online services, we do collect information from our visitors, including job seekers and job providers. This Privacy Policy governs your interaction with the ASIC Forum web site and your and use of ASIC Forum's online services (collectively, the "Services"). Except as set forth within this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use and other published guidelines, we do not release personally identifiable information about our members and visitors without their permission.
Note that, by using the Services, you signify your agreement to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use the Services. Your continued use of the Services subsequent to changes to this Policy will mean that you accept the changes; therefore, please bookmark this page and review it periodically. If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, or any other privacy issues in connection with the Services, please e-mail us at privacy@ASIC Forum.com.
A. The information we gather.
ASIC Forum gathers two types of information about users:
1. Non-personally identifiable information (information that does not identify a specific individual): When visitors use the Services, we collect and aggregate information indicating, among other things, which pages were visited, the order in which they were visited, and which links were "clicked" - how you interact with our site. This information we collect helps us identify the most popular areas of our web site and determine the effectiveness of our promotional activities.
ASIC Forum may set and access cookies on your computer. - that is, small text files placed on your computer's hard drive - that help us determine the type of content and pages to which you link, the length of time you spend at any particular area of the Services, and the Services you choose to use. Cookies also tell us which advertisements you have seen on our Services, allowing us to continue to provide many of these Services at little or no cost to you. Cookies are only read by the server that placed them, and are unable to execute any code or virus; they will not permit a Web site operator to learn any personally identifiable information (see below) about you unless you have previously provided that information to the Web site operator or you have set the preferences in your browser to provide this information.
Cookies allow ASIC Forum to serve you better and more efficiently, and to personalize your experience with the Services - for example, by allowing us to save your password so that you do not have to reenter it each time you use the Services. Nevertheless, you should be able to control how and whether cookies will be accepted by your web browser. For more information on how to do so, please refer to the documentation accompanying your browser.
ASIC Forum lets other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to ASIC Forum's cookies.
2. Personally identifiable information: In certain areas of the Services - such as those in which you announce availability, complete a profile, submit your résumé, create a new account, or enter content in the user forum - we may request that you provide us with certain personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, zip code, profession, or work experience. We will, in such situations, seek to identify which informational items are required and which are optional.
Job seekers should post profiles and resumes on ASIC Forum only if they wish such information to be viewed by ASIC Forum's visitors. At any time, job seekers may elect that their profile and resume not be searchable by ASIC Forum's visitors by logging into their account and changing the status of their profile or, if that is not possible, they may contact ASIC Forum at support@ASIC Forum.com and we will make the change for them.
In addition, job seekers may elect to make their profile searchable by ASIC Forum visitors on a confidential basis only. In this case, the user's name, contact information and resume will not be displayed to visitors performing searches on ASIC Forum. If the visitor desires to contact the confidential job seeker regarding an employment opportunity, they will send an email to the job seeker through the ASIC Forum system. ASIC Forum will forward the email to the seeker's email address. The seeker's email address will not be provided directly to the visitor.
The Services are not available to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age.
Please note that ASIC Forum cannot control the acts of users of the Services. All members and visitors should be aware that, when they disclose personally identifiable information in a resume or profile or other medium, the information may be collected and used by others to send that person unsolicited email from other parties outside ASIC Forum. In the event that you encounter any ASIC Forum user who is improperly collecting or using information about you or other users, please contact privacy@ASIC Forum.com.
B. How we use (and do not use) the information we gather.
Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the different ways we use the information we gather. Keep in mind that, while ASIC Forum encourages all third parties involved - including but not limited to its advertisers - to adhere to our policies regarding the privacy of our visitors and members and to otherwise handle personal information in a responsible manner, we cannot and do not assume any responsibility for any actions or omissions of third parties, including the manner in which they use information received either from ASIC Forum or independently. Nevertheless, in the event you encounter any third party associated with, or who claims association with ASIC Forum, who you feel is improperly collecting or using information about you, please contact privacy@ASIC Forum.com . We will be happy to forward your message to the third party or contact the third party on your behalf.
1. ASIC Forum does not sell, re-sell or distribute for re-sale your personally identifiable information. ASIC Forum's visitors may only use the information provided in resumes and profiles of job seekers to evaluate seekers' qualifications for the visitor's open job opportunities. Job seekers should be aware, however, that ASIC Forum has no way to control how a visitor actually uses the service and how they use the resume and profile information. If you believe a ASIC Forum visitor is using personally identifiable information inappropriately, please notify ASIC Forum at privacy@ASIC Forum.com.
Please note that ASIC Forum reserves the right to disclose infor
mation submitted by or concerning any visitor or member as we reasonably feel is necessary to protect our systems or business. Specifically, but without limitation, we reserve the right to disclose such information when a visitor or member is in violation of our Terms of Use or other published guidelines, or partakes (or is reasonably suspected of partaking) in any harmful, infringing or illegal activity, even without a subpoena, warrant, or other court order, and to disclose such information in response to court and governmental orders, civil subpoenas, discovery requests, and as otherwise required by law, as well as in response to allegations of infringement. We cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who may be using our servers or services for illegal activities. We also reserve the right to report any suspected illegal activity to law enforcement for investigation or prosecution, or to suspend or terminate your membership in connection with any suspected illegal or infringing activity.
Subject to the foregoing, ASIC Forum uses your personally identifying information in several ways:
to customize various aspects of the Services to your preferences;
to send to you certain e-mail messages that are critical to your use of the Services, such as system status updates or order confirmations (because these messages contain important information, you may not be able to "opt out" of receiving such messages);
to "pre-populate" forms that are displayed for the purpose of collecting individual data by ASIC Forum and/or its sponsors (in no case will pre-populating a form automatically transfer any data to an advertiser or other third party - only if you voluntarily request that such data be transferred will any such transfer take place, e.g., by clicking the "Submit" button).
In addition to the circumstances described above, ASIC Forum may disclose your personally-identifiable information to third parties as follows:When a job seeker posts a profile or resume on ASIC Forum on a non-confidential basis, such information will be shared with ASIC Forum's visitors. (Note that at any time, job seekers may elect that their profile and resume not be searchable by ASIC Forum's visitors by logging into their account and changing the status of their profile or they may contact ASIC Forum at support@ASIC Forum.com and we will make the change for them.)
When a job seeker elects to make his or her profile searchable by ASIC Forum visitors on a confidential basis only, the user's name, contact information and resume will not be displayed to visitors performing searches on ASIC Forum. If the visitor desires to contact the confidential job seeker regarding an employment opportunity, it will send an email to the job seeker through the ASIC Forum system. ASIC Forum will forward the email to the seeker's email address. The seeker's email address will not be provided directly to the visitor.
All information made available to ASIC Forum may be made available to our contractors and consultants, and professional advisors (such as attorneys or accountants), but only to the extent necessary for them to perform services on our behalf, and only under a duty of confidentiality.
