While reporting the matched responses, the program respects the disclosure preferences set by each user. The user may choose to give alias rather than his/her name. The user may choose to disclose the city but not complete address etc. Such options allow a user to define his/her level of disclosure. The names of referees or the names of specific organisations or departments or immediate boss are not necessary to provide - if the user desires not to reveal his/her identity then s/he ought not to give names here.

This is a persistent cookie, which contains text. It enables our program to offer the facility of fetching the previously entered data of his organisation. If the user does not wish to have the cookie written into his computer then he should not select this option. There is no other situation in which cookies are employed.

Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site.
Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable)
We share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. These may include aggregate snapshots of the types of profiles of members, e.g. how may engineers, doctors and professionals in different knowledge domains or seekers for certain types of interest groups or worthy cause etc.
Third Party Advertisers
There are no third party advertisers on the site save the users who themselves post their requirements in the form of classified ads.
These are the instances in which we will share users' personal information: We DO NOT Share Personal Information with Third Parties. In course of matching processes, consistent with the options selected for sharing and disclosure levels, the members resume or profile is passed on to the query originators.
Third Party Intermediaries
We use an outside company for credit card processing to bill users for services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Service Providers
We reach our customers through a Business Partner Network and Business Associates network to provide personal services of registration or construction of query or processing the query responses. These are optional and the users decide if they wish to work directly with us through the site or take help of the Business Partners. These third parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Business Transitions

Members will be notified via email prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result of the business transition, the users' personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection they will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes section.
13.
Surveys & Contests
Our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes your registration id or contact information such as name and shipping address. Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Anonymous survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users' personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and choice. Though we may use an intermediary to conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use members' personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
14.
Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information is protected both online and off-line.
When our payment gateway service provider for credit card and Internet bank transfers asks users to enter credit card number and/or bank account number, that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, consistency or integrity in database records) are granted access to personally identifiable information - each incident that created the necessity to access individual records, is logged and an audit history is maintained so as to improve the processes and prevent recurrence of similar incidents. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every new recruit, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our users' information is protected. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment so that it would become very difficult for an unauthorised person to gain entry without getting noticed.
If users have any questions about the security at our Web site, users can send an email to privacy@jobsatanytime.com.
15.
Supplementing of Information is NOT DONE by us
In order for this Web site to properly fulfill its obligation to users it is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from 3rd party sources.
Credit Check
For example, to determine if users qualify for one of our credit cards, we use their name and social security number to request a credit report. Once we determine a user's credit-worthiness, this document is destroyed.
ID /Address Verification
We use third party agents to verify a user's identity or address to enhance the authenticity of declared information in the event the member volunteers for such verification or in the event we receive a complaint of masquerading or false declaration by a member.
Purchasing History
We link purchase history of what is directly offered by us with personal data.
Enhancement of Marketing Profile
We DONOT purchase third party marketing data NOR do we and add it to our existing user database to better target our advertising and provide pertinent offers we think our users would be interested in. We DONOT use this information to enhance or overlay the resume/profile of individual users. This marketing data is therefore NOT tied to the users' personally identifiable information. However, the marketing data may be used to direct campaigns that may coincidentally include registrants on our web site.
16.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
If, however, we are going to use users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Web site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
