used solely in connection with considering and acting upon your application. We may retain your personal information, but only for the purpose of
considering your application for current or future available positions. This information, which may include your name and contact information, prior

additional photos you upload, your first name, your job title, approximate number of miles away, your personal description, and information you have in
common with the person viewing your profile, such as common LinkedIn™ connections. If you chat with another member, of course the other member will see
the content of your chat. If you delete the chat on your end, the chat will still remain visible to the other user until he or she deletes it.

Personal information. We do not share your personal information with others except as indicated in this Privacy Policy or when we inform you and give
you an opportunity to opt out of having your personal information shared. We may share personal information with:
-
Service providers:
We may share information, including personal and financial information, with third parties that perform certain services on our behalf. These
services may include fulfilling orders, providing customer service and marketing assistance, performing business and sales analysis, ad tracking
and analytics, member screenings, supporting our Service functionality, and supporting contests, sweepstakes, surveys and other features offered
through our Service. These service providers may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to
share or use such information for any other purposes.
-
Other Situations.
We may disclose your information, including personal information:
-
In response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other
government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases,
we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.
-
When we believe disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity,
suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of our company, our users, our employees, or others;
to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; or to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements or policies.

sources. We also may share aggregated, non-personal information, or personal information in hashed, non-human readable form, with third parties,
including advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose of conducting general business analysis or other business purposes. For example, we may
engage a data provider who may collect web log data from you (including IP address and information about your browser or operating system), or place or
recognize a unique cookie on your browser to enable you to receive customized ads or content. The cookies may reflect de-identified demographic or
other data linked to data you voluntarily have submitted to us (such as your email address), that we may share with a data provider solely in hashed,
non-human readable form. To opt-out of cookies that may be set by third party data or advertising partners, please go to http://

How we protect your personal information
We take security measures to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure. However, no system can be completely secure.
Therefore, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information, chats, or other
communications will always remain secure. Users should also take care with how they handle and disclose their personal information and should avoid sending
personal information through insecure email. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission's website at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menus/consumer/data.shtm for
information about how to protect yourself against identity theft.

Information you provide about yourself while using our Service
We provide areas on our Service where you can post information about yourself and others and communicate with others. Such postings are governed by our
Terms of Use . Also, whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable pages, that information will be publicly available and can
be collected and used by others. For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages. We cannot control who reads your
posting or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your
personal information.
