USAJobsline.com (“USAJobsline,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of visitors, job seekers, employers, and other users of this website. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we may collect, how we use it, when it may be shared, and the choices available to you.

Information You Provide to Us

Depending on how you use USAJobsline, you may provide information such as:

  • your name, email address, username, and other account information;
  • your city, state, region, or other location information;
  • résumé or candidate-profile information, including employment history, education, skills, professional title, photographs, links, and uploaded résumé files;
  • information submitted by employers, including company information, job descriptions, application contact information, company websites, and logos;
  • information you submit through contact forms or other communications;
  • email addresses used for job alerts or other requested communications;
  • other information you voluntarily submit through the website.

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, banking information, passwords, copies of identity documents, or other highly sensitive personal information unless a legitimate feature specifically requires it.

Résumés and Candidate Profiles

If you create a candidate profile or submit a résumé for employer access, information you choose to include may be made available to employers or other authorized users according to the settings and features of USAJobsline.

You should not include information in a publicly or employer-accessible résumé that you do not want prospective employers to receive.

USAJobsline cannot control how an employer uses information after you voluntarily provide it to that employer or submit it through an employer’s external application system.

Employer and Job-Posting Information

Information submitted as part of a job listing or employer profile may be displayed publicly on USAJobsline.

Employers are responsible for ensuring that information they submit is accurate and that they have the right to publish it.

  • date and time of visits;
  • referring pages or websites;
  • search terms and locations entered into job-search tools;
  • interactions with job listings and links;
  • cookies, local-storage identifiers, and similar technologies.

We may use this information to operate the site, provide job-search functionality, prevent abuse, diagnose technical problems, understand how the website is used, measure performance, and improve our services.

We do not use information submitted through USAJobsline to make employment decisions on behalf of employers.

Third-Party Job Listings and External Websites

USAJobsline may display employment opportunities supplied by third-party services, including Careerjet, as well as listings submitted directly to USAJobsline.

Selecting a job may take you to an employer website, Careerjet, or another third-party service. Once you leave USAJobsline, the privacy practices of the destination website apply.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of websites where you submit employment applications or personal information.

Service Providers

We may use third parties to provide services necessary to operate USAJobsline, including website hosting, security, email delivery, forms, spam prevention, analytics, advertising, job-search services, and payment processing where applicable.

These providers may receive information necessary to perform their services.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, court orders, governmental requests, protect our rights or users, investigate fraud or security issues, or in connection with a sale, merger, reorganization, or transfer of the website or business.

Cookies

USAJobsline and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to remember preferences, maintain sessions, measure traffic, provide website functionality, prevent fraud, and support advertising.

Most browsers allow you to restrict or delete cookies. Disabling cookies may prevent some website features from functioning properly.

Advertising and Google AdSense

USAJobsline may display advertising, including advertising provided through Google AdSense.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s previous visits to USAJobsline or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve advertisements based on visits to this site and other sites on the Internet.

Users can manage or opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings.

Other advertising vendors or networks may also use cookies or similar technologies when advertisements are displayed on USAJobsline. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies.

Where required by applicable law or Google policy, USAJobsline may display consent or privacy controls allowing visitors to manage certain advertising and data-use choices.

Google specifically requires AdSense publishers to disclose Google’s advertising cookies, personalized-ad use, and opt-out options.

Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and whether applicable privacy laws apply to USAJobsline, you may have rights concerning your personal information, which can include rights to:

  • request access to certain personal information;
  • request correction or deletion;
  • obtain information about how personal information is used or disclosed;
  • opt out of certain uses or disclosures where required by law;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

California law, for example, provides qualifying consumers with rights concerning access, deletion, correction, and certain sales or sharing of personal information.

To make a privacy-related request, use the Contact page on USAJobsline. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

USAJobsline does not sell personal information for money. Advertising technologies may involve disclosures that are treated as “sharing” or similar activity under some privacy laws. Where applicable, required privacy choices will be provided.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the requested service, maintain accounts, operate and secure the website, meet legal or recordkeeping requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Information associated with expired or deleted listings, résumés, or accounts may remain temporarily in backups, security logs, or other systems before being deleted according to normal retention procedures.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information submitted through USAJobsline.

However, no Internet transmission, website, or electronic-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children

USAJobsline is a general employment website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected through USAJobsline, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

COPPA applies to general-audience sites when they have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information from a child under 13.

Visitors Outside the United States

USAJobsline is a United States-focused website. Information submitted through the site may be processed and stored in the United States.

Visitors accessing the site from other countries should understand that privacy and data-protection laws may differ from those in their home country.
