PRIVACY POLICY

Job Search Journey (referred to in this policy as JSS, “us”, “we”, or “our”) has adopted the following Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, and share information from and about you in connection with certain of our products, services, and properties.

Your privacy and security are very important to us. 

  1. CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

The following subsections detail the categories of Personal Information that we collect. For each category of Personal Information, these sections also set out our commercial or business purpose for collecting that Personal Information and the categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information. Throughout this Policy, we will refer back to the categories of Personal Information listed below (for example, “Category A. Personal Identifiers”).

You, For Information You Make Available to Us

Some information collected when you access or use our Services is considered “Personal Information” (or PI).  This is information that relates to or can be used to identify you personally and includes things like your full name, your email address, and also includes information referred to as “personally identifiable information” or “personal information” under applicable data privacy laws, rules, or regulations.  Other than as provided for in this Policy, we won’t share or disclose this kind of information unless we get your permission. Other information that we collect may not identify you personally. This kind of information may be shared or disclosed in an aggregate form, used to personalize your experience, and so on. 

Visitors.  When you use our Services as a Visitor, we may ask for information about your preferences and interests to personalize your experience and help you find what you need. 

All Members.  To use many aspects of our Services, you’re required to create a JSS account and become a Member.  To become a Member, we require that you pick a unique username, and provide us with your email address so we can contact you.  We may also ask you to tell us your name so we know who you are. 

Sellers.  Members who register for one of our Seller Memberships (“Sellers”), will be required to provide additional contact information and payment information to receive Earnings.  Sellers can choose to use a name other than their given name as a “Store Name.” A Seller’s Store Name, profile image or logo, and any additional information they choose to provide about themselves in their Store profile will be publicly viewable. 

  1. You, For Information Collected Automatically in Connection with Your Use of Our Services

When you use our Services as a Member or a Visitor, we receive and collect certain information from your browser and your device such as your Internet Protocol address (IP address), device information, operating system, browser type and version, and browser country location.  This information helps us defend against fraudulent activity or attacks, maintain the security of our Services, and improve and personalize your experience. 

We also log data related to how Members and Visitors use our Services, including Cookies (as defined below) that may uniquely identify your visit or account. This log data includes details such as what pages of our Site or App you visit and when, how users navigate through the Site, and visit referral URLs.  This information allows us to better understand how our Services are being used, helps us make improvements, and enables us to personalize your experience with our Services. (Please refer to the Cookies section below for more information about how we use Cookies.) 

From time to time, we may host and provide Members and Visitors the opportunity to participate in contests, sweepstakes, and surveys.  If you choose to participate, you may be asked to provide Personal Information which may be used for purposes necessary to administer the contest, sweepstakes, or survey, or for other marketing purposes

Purchase Information.

When you make a purchase through our Services, you’ll need to provide billing and payment information to complete your order. We’ve carefully chosen Service Providers who use Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliant practices to process payments (“Payment Processors”). Whether you check out using a credit or debit card, PayPal account, or any other payment method we may support, your payment will be processed directly by our Payment Processor and we’ll never have access to or store your full payment details.

When you use a credit or debit card to pay for your purchases, you’ll be asked to add a credit or debit card payment source (“Payment Card”). When you submit your order, this information will be sent directly to and stored by our Payment Processor. After your payment is processed, the Payment Processor will send JSS some details about the transaction so that we can record your order in our database and provide access to the materials that you purchased. 

The Payment Card you added will be available for future use on your Account.  You can edit or remove this information at any time by navigating to the checkout page or by contacting us for assistance.

If you choose to pay using PayPal, you’ll log in to your PayPal account to complete your order. When PayPal processes your payment, they’ll send us a confirmation with transaction details so we can record your order and provide access to the Resources or services you’ve purchased. We do not collect information about or have access to the specific payment or funding sources or any other financial account details associated with your PayPal account.

Service Providers’ access to your Personal Information is limited to the purpose of providing the services contracted for. Service Providers are not permitted to disclose information we share to other parties (other than their own service providers as necessary) or use your Personal Information for any other purpose. 

JSS may from time to time share aggregate user data with business partners, Service Providers, or other third parties to identify or share trends, usage statistics, and so on.

As part of a merger acquisition, bankruptcy or other transaction in which a third party assumes control of our business (in whole or in part), we may transfer the data we have collected, including Personal Information, to the third party.  In such an event, we’ll notify you of that change. In addition, any purchasing company would have to adhere by the terms of this Policy including notifying you before making material changes and giving you the opportunity to opt-out. 

  1. Third Parties, For Information Requests and Legal Obligations

To the extent you make purchases through the Services using an institution, school, or other third-party entity’s credit or debit card, PayPal account, or any other payment method, and that institution, school, or third-party requests such information or information related thereto and JSS, in its sole discretion, determines such request is reasonable, we may choose to provide such information or information related thereto to that institution, school, or third party.

Finally, we respect and comply with legal obligations and may release information (including Personal Information and information about your account activities) in cooperation with a law enforcement investigation, in response to a valid legal request such as a court order, legal subpoena, or government inquiry or audit, as part of the process outlined by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), or to defend, protect, or exercise our legal rights.
