YOUR CHOICES

Users have the following choices in connection with the Platform and Services. 

Modify or Remove Account Information.  You may update the personal information that you previously provided to your account on the Platform by logging into your account and updating your profile.  If you want to remove personal information that is in a required field (and not replace it with other data), you will need to contact support@pairin.com and request that your account be inactivated.  Please recognize that if you delete information, it will no longer be available on the Platform so that, for example, if an employer to which you previously submitted an application were to attempt to retrieve that application from the Platform after you made the deletion, the deleted information would no longer be accessible.  Similarly, when accessed over the Platform, personal information that has been updated or otherwise modified will appear in its then current form, rather than in the form in which it may have been submitted at some earlier time.  Please note that if you modify or delete any personal information, we may retain the earlier-submitted personal information.

Opt-out of Emails.  You may be able to opt-out of certain email communications from us by following the unsubscribe instructions in the email.

Cookies and Similar Technologies.  Most browsers let you remove or stop accepting cookies from the websites you visit.  To do this, follow the instructions in your browser’s settings.  Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings.  If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all functionality of the Platform and it may not work properly.  For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your browser and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. 

Do Not Track.  Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit.  We currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” or similar signals.  To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

SECURITY

The security of your personal information is important to us.  We employ a number of reasonable organizational, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect.  However, security risk is inherent in all internet and information technologies and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.  If you have a user account for the Platform, you are solely responsible for maintaining and protecting the confidentiality of your account password and other account information in your possession.

We will retain your personal information in our databases and applications to fulfill the purpose for which the information was collected. Because MyCareer is intended to connect you to and help you prepare for education and career opportunities, the personal information you put into MyCareer will be retained until you ask us to remove your information. Note that even after you ask that we remove your personal information from our databases, it may be impossible to remove some personal information, such as personal information tracked in our web server log files and personal information that may reside in backup files. Personal information may also be required to be retained for other purposes, such as to comply with applicable laws, rules, regulations, or guidelines; to prevent fraudulent activity; to protect ourselves against liability; to resolve disputes; to comply with the Customer’s requirements; and to enforce our contractual or other rights.

INTERNATIONAL DATA USE

We are headquartered in the United States and have affiliates and service providers in other countries, and your personal information may be collected, used, and stored in the United States or other locations outside of your home country.  Privacy laws in the locations where we handle your personal information may not be as protective as the privacy laws in your home country. 

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time.  We will post any updated Privacy Policy here, and you should review this page regularly to make sure you are aware of its terms.  You can determine if this Privacy Policy has been revised since your last visit to the Platform by referring to the “last updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy.  If we make any substantial changes to this Privacy Policy, we may also notify you through the Platform, via email, or using another method.  In all cases, your continued use of the Platform after we post an updated Privacy Policy means that you accept any changes made in the updated Privacy Policy.
