Effective for all users of avanijobs.com and Avani Jobs mobile applications.
This Privacy Policy explains how Avani Jobs ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our website avanijobs.com or our mobile application.
We are a social network and online platform for professionals. People use our Services to find and be found for business opportunities, to connect with others and find information. Our Privacy Policy applies to any Member or Visitor to our Services.
Our registered users ("Members") share their professional identities, engage with their network, exchange knowledge and professional insights, post and view relevant content, learn and develop skills, and find business and career opportunities. Content and data on some of our Services is viewable to non-Members ("Visitors").
We use the term "Designated Countries" to refer to countries in the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), and Switzerland.
Registration: To create an account you need to provide data including your name, email address and/or mobile number, general location (e.g., city), and a password. If you register for a premium Service, you will need to provide payment (e.g., credit card) and billing information.
Profile: You have choices about the information on your profile, such as your education, work experience, skills, photo, city or area, endorsements, and optional verifications. Profile information helps you get more from our Services, including helping recruiters and business opportunities find you.
Posting and Uploading: We collect personal data when you provide, post or upload it to our Services, such as when you fill out a form, respond to a survey, or submit a resume.
You don't have to post or upload personal data; though if you don't, it may limit your ability to grow and engage with your network over our Services.
Content and News: You and others may post content that includes information about you on our Services. We also may collect public information about you, such as professional-related news and accomplishments.
Contact and Calendar Information: We receive personal data about you when others import or sync their calendar with our Services, associate their contacts with Member profiles, or send messages using our Services.
Partners: We receive personal data (e.g., your job title and work email address) about you when you use the services of our customers and partners.
We log usage data when you visit or otherwise use our Services, such as when you view or click on content or ads, perform a search, install or update one of our mobile apps, share articles or apply for jobs.
We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixels and ad tags) to collect data (e.g., device IDs) to recognize you and your device(s). You can opt out from our use of data from cookies and similar technologies that track your behavior on the sites of others for ad targeting.
When you visit or leave our Services, we receive the URL of both the site you came from and the one you go to and the time of your visit. We also get information about your network and device. We will ask you to opt-in before we use GPS or other tools to identify your precise location.
We collect information about you when you communicate with others through our Services (e.g., when you send, receive, or engage with messages, events, or connection requests).
Others buying our Services for your use, such as your employer or your school, provide us with personal data about you and your eligibility to use the Services.
We receive information about your visits and interaction with services provided by others when you log-in with Avani Jobs or visit others' services that include some of our plugins.
Our Services are dynamic, and we often introduce new features, which may require the collection of new information. If we collect materially different personal data, we will notify you.
We use your data to provide, support, personalize and develop our Services. How we use your personal data will depend on which Services you use, how you use those Services and the choices you make in your settings.
Stay Connected: Our Services allow you to stay in touch and up to date with colleagues, partners, clients, and other professional contacts. We use data about you to help others find your profile, suggest connections, and enable you to invite others.
Stay Informed: Our Services allow you to stay informed about news, events and ideas regarding professional topics you care about. We use the data we have about you to personalize our Services for you.
Career: Our Services allow you to explore careers and seek out career opportunities. We will use your data to recommend jobs to you and you to recruiters.
Productivity: Our Services allow you to collaborate with colleagues, search for potential clients, customers, partners and others to do business with.
We sell premium Services that provide our customers and subscribers with customized-search functionality and tools. Customers can export limited information from your profile, unless you opt-out.
We will contact you through email, mobile phone, notices posted on our websites or apps, messages to your Avani Jobs inbox, and other ways through our Services. You may change your communication preferences at any time.
We target (and measure the performance of) ads to Members, Visitors and others both on and off our Services. We will show you ads called sponsored content which look similar to non-sponsored content, except that they are labeled as advertising.
In addition to advertising our Services, we use Members' data and content for invitations and communications promoting membership and network growth.
We use data, including public feedback, to conduct research and development for our Services in order to provide you and others with a better, more intuitive and personalized experience.
We use data (which can include your communications) to investigate, respond to and resolve complaints and for Service issues.
We use your data to perform analytics to produce and share insights that do not identify you.
We and our Affiliates may use your data (including your communications) for security purposes or to prevent or investigate possible fraud or other violations of the law.
We generally retain your personal data as long as you keep your account open or as needed to provide you Services. In some cases we choose to retain certain information in a depersonalized or aggregated form.
We provide many choices about the collection, use and sharing of your data. For personal data that we have about you, you can:
If you choose to close your Avani Jobs account, your personal data will generally stop being visible to others on our Services within 24 hours. We generally delete closed account information within 30 days of account closure.
We retain your personal data even after you have closed your account if reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations, meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our User Agreement.
We implement security safeguards designed to protect your data, such as HTTPS. We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks. However, we cannot warrant the security of any information that you send us.
We process data both inside and outside of the United States and rely on legally-provided mechanisms to lawfully transfer data across borders.
We will only collect and process personal data about you where we have lawful bases. Lawful bases include consent, contract, and "legitimate interests." Where we rely on your consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time.
We currently do not share personal data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your permission.
