Privacy Policy

Protect Your Privacy and Safety

Effective Date: September 15, 2010

Weaver Partners Inc. has drafted its Privacy Policy to ensure that you can use weaverpartners.com on your own terms. Weaver Partners continues to strive to provide the safest possible environment for you to search and apply for jobs.

Overview

We have created this Privacy Policy to inform you of our collection, use and disclosure practices regarding personal information that we collect through Weaver Partners websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to data gathered on any website under Weaver Parters ’s control (collectively, the “Sites”), and does not apply to any other information or website. This Privacy Policy incorporates by reference the Terms and Conditions for the Sites, which apply to this privacy policy. Please review this Privacy Policy periodically as we may update it from time to time. Each time you visit the Sites or provide us with information, you are, by doing so, accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy at that time. If we materially change our practices with regard to personal information collected under a prior privacy policy, we will endeavor to notify you and give you the opportunity to opt out of changes with regard to that previously collected information. You agree that by using the Sites you are expressly and affirmatively consenting to our use and disclosure of the information that you provide, and consenting to receive emails, as described below.

Personal Information

In order to operate the weaverpartners.com in an efficient and effective manner and provide users with information on job postings and services that may be of interest to them, Weaver Partners may collect personal information, including contact information (such as an email address), from its users. In addition, this information allows us to provide users with private and secure areas to post and modify their original content on our Sites (e.g., jobs and resumes). We also automatically track certain information based upon your behavior on the Sites and use this information to do internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand, protect and serve users in general. This information may include the URL that a user has just come from (whether this URL is on our Sites or not), the URL a user goes to next (whether this URL is on our Sites or not), a user’s computer browser information, and their IP address. You agree that Weaver Partners may use your personal information to contact you and deliver information to you that, in some cases, is targeted to your interests (such as relevant job postings, services, educational or other career development opportunities), or provide administrative notices or communications applicable to your use of the Sites. By accepting this Privacy Policy, you expressly agree to receive this information. If you do not wish to receive these communications, we encourage you to opt out of any further receipt by following the opt-out provisions provided in each such communication. Weaver Partners may also aggregate certain non-personally identifiable information about its users (such as occupation, location, education, and experience) and use such anonymous information to prepare reports that it provides to its users. We do not sell our users’ personally identifiable information to anyone for any reason if the user has indicated a desire for us to keep the information private. When posting jobs and resumes, our users decide for themselves how much contact information they wish to display (we enable private communication for those who choose to hide this information). All users should be aware, however, that when they choose to display or distribute personal information (such as their email address or resume) via the Sites or any other distribution method, that information can be collected and used by others. This may result in unsolicited messages from third parties for which Weaver Partners is not responsible. Also, you may have arrived at the Sites by following a link from a Weaver Partners newspaper affiliate or other affiliate’s website. If so, please be aware that Weaver Partners may share your information with that affiliate and the affiliate may use the information consistent with its privacy policy instead of this one. Weaver Partners may also disclose specific user information when we determine that such disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, to cooperate with or seek assistance from law enforcement or to protect the interests or safety of Weaver Partners or other users of the Sites. In addition, personal information we have collected may be passed on to a third party in the event of a transfer of ownership or assets or a bankruptcy of Weaver Partners. Such disclosures may be made with or without your consent, and with or without notice.

About Cookies and Third Party Advertisers

Weaver Partners uses cookies for the protection and convenience of our users. Cookies enable us to serve secure pages to our users without asking them to sign in repeatedly. If a user’s system is idle for more than an hour, however, the cookie will expire, forcing the user to sign in again to continue their session. This prevents unauthorized access to the user’s information while they are away from their computer. Weaver Partners may store non-personally identifying information about you such as past jobs viewed and job searches conducted by your computer in a cookie that it places on your computer. We do this in order to present you with job recommendations based on your interests as expressed previously through your searches. Most Internet browsers enable you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

In addition, some of the employers that use our Sites may place cookies on your computer through their job postings and may use such cookies to distinguish your web browser uniquely. Often, employers use such information to track the effectiveness of their job postings by measuring how many users who view their postings later became job applicants.

Data Transfers

When we obtain information about you, we may process the information outside of the country in which you are located, including in the United States. The countries in which we process the information may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you are located. Further, users who access your information, such as potential employers, also may be located in a different country than you and different laws may apply to their use of your information.

What You Should Know

Weaver Partners cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. Therefore, although we are committed to protecting your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private. As a user of the Sites, you understand and agree that you assume all responsibility and risk for your use of the Sites, the internet generally, and the documents you post or access and for your conduct on and off the Sites.

Your California Privacy Rights

California law permits its residents to request and receive information about a business’ disclosure of certain categories of personal information to other companies for their use in direct marketing. If you are a California resident and a user of any of the Sites, you can request a copy of this information from Weaver Partners by sending an email to info@weaverpartners.com or a letter to Weaver Partners at 112 Spring St Batavia, IL 60510. Please include your name and email address in email requests, and your name and postal address in mail requests.

Protect Yourself

Some Important Tips To Use When Dealing With Prospective Employers Never give out your social security number to a prospective employer. Never provide credit card or bank numbers or engage in a monetary transaction of any sort. Be cautious when dealing with contacts outside of your own country. Do not provide any non-work related personal information (i.e. social security number, eye color, marital status, etc.) over the phone or online.

Other Privacy Features On the Sites

You never need to provide personally identifiable data to search for jobs on our site.

Post a Resume

Posting your resume on the Sites puts you in front of thousands of employers with open positions each day. When you post your resume, we automatically create a registration for you using the email address and password that you supply. When you return to the Sites in the future you will use that same email address and password to access and edit your existing resume.

Resume Privacy Options

Posting your resume on the Weaver Partners puts you in front employers with open positions each day. When you post your resume, we automatically forward that resume to a weaver partners staff for review. We attempt to limit access to our searchable resume database to legitimate users such as paying employers, recruiters, hiring managers, headhunters and human resource professionals, but cannot guarantee that other parties will not gain access to this database. We cannot control the use made of resumes by third parties who access such resumes while they are in our searchable database. You may remove your resume from our searchable database at any time. However, employers, recruiters and others who have paid for access to that database, as well as parties who have otherwise gained access to the database may have retained a copy of your resume in their own files or databases. We cannot control the retention, use or privacy of resumes or profiles that have been downloaded by third parties. Accordingly, you should not put the information you would not want to be made public on your resume.
