Your Privacy Rights

ESLPlacement is committed to protecting the privacy of our users, and strives to provide a safe, secure user experience. This Privacy Statement sets forth the online data collection and usage policies and practices that apply to this web site. It does not apply to information we collect in any other fashion.

By clicking the “Accept” button during registration or by using this site, you explicitly accept, without limitation or qualification, of the collection, use and transfer of the personal information provided by you in the manner described in this Statement. Please read this Statement carefully as it affects your rights and liabilities under law. If you disagree with the way we collect and process personal information collected on the Web site, we recommend that you do not use it.

Scope of this Policy

This statement applies to ESLPlacement.com (the “Site” or Sites”), which is owned by ESLPlacement, Inc. (“ESLPlacement”). It is ESLPlacement’s policy to comply with data protection legislation. This regulates the processing of information relating to you and grants you various rights in respect of your personal data.

The Sites contain links to other web sites over which we have no control. ESLPlacement is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of other web sites to which you choose to link from this site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those other web sites so you can understand how they collect, use and share your information.

Information We Collect and Retain

You do not have to give us any personal information in order to perform job searches or to read the content portions of our Site. We collect the following general types of information about you when you visit our Sites: personal information, demographic information, behavioral information, and indirect information. Sometimes we collect combinations of all these types of information. In each case, it is indicated on the web site whether any personal or demographic data must be provided to use the requested service or not.

Personal information is information that can be used to identify you, or any other individual to whom the information may relate, personally. We do not collect personal information unless you choose to provide it to us. Some examples of personal information that we collect in some areas of our Site, depending on the services you use and local law, are:

Ÿ   Your name

Ÿ   Address

Ÿ   Email address

Ÿ   Telephone number

Ÿ   Credit card number

Ÿ   Contact information

Ÿ   Billing information

Ÿ   Information about third parties, such as references or contacts, that you provide to us if you have their express written consent to do so

Demographic information is information that is not unique to you in the sense that it refers to selected population characteristics, such as your ZIP code or postal code, age, preferences, gender, race or ethnicity, occupation, career history, interests and favorites.

We also collect behavioral information regarding how you use our sites, the areas of our site that you visit, what services you access, and information about your computer hardware and software including your IP address, geolocation, browser and operating system type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is necessary for analyzing the use of resources, troubleshooting problems, preventing fraud, and improving our services.

In addition, ESLPlacement may collect indirect information about you when you use certain third party services on our web site. For example, if you register on our Site by using your Microsoft Passport user name and password, you authorize us to have access to and store the information from your Passport account profile; such information will be subject to, and treated in accordance with, the policies and practices described in this Statement.

How Information is Used

We use the information we gather on the web site for the purposes of providing our services, responding to any queries you may have, operating and improving the web site, fostering a positive user experience and delivering the products and services that we offer to jobseekers and employers. Our services include the display of personalized products, content, and advertising relating to your career experience and interests. The information we gather on any ESLPlacement web site may be shared within the ESLPlacement group of companies on a worldwide basis, including countries that might not have legislation that guarantees adequate protection with respect to your country of residence, in order to deliver these products and services.

By registering with ESLPlacement, by managing your profile, or expressly opting in when presented with choices, you have consented for us to use your information, subject to local law, in the following ways:

Ÿ   to allow you to create an account;

Ÿ   to create a profile for you based on information that you have provided to us;

Ÿ   to contact you about ESLPlacement Site updates, informational and service-related communications, including important security updates;

Ÿ   to provide you additional communications, information, and promotions such as newsletters and career advice;

Ÿ   to inform you of other products or services available from ESLPlacement or its affiliates (“Affiliates” means entities that control, are controlled by or are under common control with ESLPlacement, Inc.);

Ÿ   to enable you to provide feedback, to contact us and for us to respond to you;

Ÿ   to conduct surveys, questionnaires, promotions and contests, and to provide the results thereof such as success stories and contest winners;

Ÿ   to provide information about you and your potential interest in job postings to employer customers;

Ÿ   to provide products and services to employer customers to complete the recruitment and hiring process, such as accessing the searchable resume database;

Ÿ   to provide products and services that enable users to network, post information on bulletin boards, view and compare profiles, and career background and experience;

Ÿ   to generate internal reports about the use of our site; and

Ÿ   to provide ‘forward to a friend’ features.

Some of our products and services, such as our searchable resume database and networking, enable third parties to see your personal information and to contact you. Profile information may be used for networking with other community members or may be visible to employers who are using the ESLPlacement Sites. In addition, portions of your searchable resume (but not your contact information) may be made public in your networking profile.

Information you post in public areas of the site or placed in the searchable resume database will be accessed, used, and stored by others around the world, including countries that might not have legislation that guarantees adequate protection with respect to your country of residence.

By providing your personal information for inclusion in our database, you acknowledge that you consent to your information being used as described here. While ESLPlacement takes measures to safeguard your information from unauthorized access or inappropriate use by third parties, ESLPlacement does not control these third parties and we are not responsible for their use of information you post or otherwise make available in public areas of the ESLPlacement Sites. Accordingly, you should ensure that you do not post sensitive information, including personality profiles, to any ESLPlacement Site.

Disclosure of Information to Others

We disclose to third parties within your country and abroad your personal information, combined personal, demographic, behavioral or indirect information, as set forth below.

1. We may share your information with third parties who help us in the delivery of our own products and services to you. We disclose information to companies and individuals we employ to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include hosting our web servers, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. These companies and individuals may be located in a country whose data protection legislation is different from your country, and they will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their functions, but they may not share that information with any other third party or use that data for any other purpose. We will remain the data controller and be responsible for any information shared in this way.

2. We may disclose such information to third parties if you consent to such disclosure. For example, if you make your resume searchable, then all parties with access to our searchable resume database (or copies thereof) will have access to that database. If you indicate by configuring your profile that you would like to receive information about the opportunities, products or services of third parties, we supply your contact information to select third parties such as employers, recruiters, data aggregators, marketers or others for the purpose of sending you e-mail or otherwise communicating with you. We use data we have about you (such as the interests and preferences you have expressed) to determine whether you might be interested in the opportunities, products or services of a particular third party.

We also share aggregated anonymous information about visitors to the Sites with ESLPlacement’s clients, partners, other Site visitors, and other third parties so that they can understand the kinds of visitors to the Sites and how those visitors use the Sites. We may also aggregate on an anonymous basis data regarding job qualifications, schooling, age, experience level or other information relevant to the job search or competition among job seekers for any such job. Such data may be made available to employers or fellow job seekers or community members.

We supply technology, hosting and related services to other leading companies to power recruitment areas on their Web sites (sometimes referred to as “Hosted Career Sites”). Personal and/or demographic information supplied by you in Hosted Career Sites becomes part of the ESLPlacement database, but it is not accessible by anyone other than you, ESLPlacement, and the company concerned without your consent. If you attempt to register with ESLPlacement after registering with a Hosted Career Site, ESLPlacement will recognize your information and you will be able to use the information you provided to the Hosted Career Site in your account registration.

Information gathered on a page in a Hosted Career Site area or on a co-branded page may be retained by both ESLPlacement and the other company. In that instance, the use of such information by the other company will be subject to the privacy policy of that company and ESLPlacement is not responsible for that company's use of your personal or demographic information.

If you apply for a position through a Hosted Career Site or a co-branded site, you may be asked to provide information on your age, gender or race where permitted by law. You should understand that, if provided, this information should only be used by employers in accordance with applicable law. However, ESLPlacement is not responsible for the actions of such employers. All such information provided will be kept separate by ESLPlacement from your expression of interest in any job opportunity. Providing this information is strictly voluntary and you will not be subject to any adverse action or treatment from ESLPlacement if you choose not to provide this information.

If you apply for a position on ESLPlacement through a Hosted Career Site, you may be asked to provide information on your gender, race, other protected status, or for a government identity number (such as a Social Security Number in the U.S.) where permitted by applicable law. Some employers are required by law to gather this information from job applicants for reporting and record-keeping requirements. You should understand that if provided, this information may only be used by employers only in accordance with applicable law and they should not use it in making any negative employment decisions. All information provided will be kept separate from your expression of interest in any job opportunity. Providing this information is subject to local law.

3. We disclose information if legally required to do so, if requested to do so by a governmental entity or if we believe in good faith – after considering your privacy interests and other factors – that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (b) protect our rights or property or our affiliated companies; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of users or the public. Because ESLPlacement, Inc. is a Korean company and information collected on our Sites is stored in whole or in part in Korea, your information may become subject to Korean law.

4. We may disclose and transfer such information to a third party who acquires all or a substantial portion of ESLPlacement's business, whether such acquisition is by way of merger, consolidation or purchase of all or a substantial portion of our assets. In addition, in the event ESLPlacement becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, ESLPlacement or its liquidator, administrator, receiver or administrative receiver may sell, license or otherwise dispose of such information in a transaction approved by the court. You will be notified of the sale of all or a substantial portion of our business to a third party by email or through a prominent notice posted on the Sites.

An Important Note about Your Resume

When you create or post a resume to the Sites, that resume is stored in our searchable resume database in Korea. You may control the status of your resume by setting it to private or public.

If you set your resume as private, it is not searchable by potential employers or other with access to our resume database.  You may still use your resume to apply online to a job. If you do apply online to a job, your resume will be transferred to the relevant employer, who may retain a copy of your resume or distribute it to third parties, subject to local law. We cannot control their use and retention of your resume information.

If you set your resume as public, but want your contact information to be confidential, your resume will be searchable by potential employers, but we will hide your contact information and current company.  You must also remove your contact information from your uploaded or copy and paste text resume.  You should be aware that if you have a rare skill or job title, for example, it may still be possible for you to be identified even without your contact details being included. If you are worried about being identified, you should not include specific details by which you could be identified.

If you use a confidential resume to apply to a job online, the employer to whom you send your resume will be able to view your contact information in order to contact you about your application.

If you allow your resume to be searchable without making it confidential, then all parties with access to our searchable resume database (or copies thereof) will have access to your resume.  Employers or other parties with access to our searchable resume database may be located in countries whose data protection legislation may not be equivalent to the laws in your country.  For example, your resume may be viewed and accessed by employers outside the European Economic Area who have access to our searchable database. By making your resume searchable, you are expressly consenting to such transfers of data occurring.

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, as well as law enforcement and national security agencies, 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; details of how to do this are given below. 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 sensitive information, personality profiles, or other information you would not want made public, in your resume.

If you provide us with details of a reference, it is your responsibility to ensure that the person is aware that you have forwarded his/her details and has consented in writing for you to do so.

If you use our facilities to build a resume or to post a resume in our database of jobseekers’ resumes, then you will be providing us with personal data we will use in accordance with this Statement. Your resume must not contain sensitive data relating to your (i) racial or ethnic origin (ii) political beliefs (iii) philosophical or religious beliefs (iv) membership of a trade union or political party (v) physical or mental health or genetic makeup (vi) addictions, sexual life (vii) the commission of criminal offences or proceedings and associated penalties or fines, or (viii) any Social Security Number or national identification number, if you set your resume as private unless you have previously sent to us your written consent that we may process your sensitive personal data, if ESLPlacement determines this to be a requirement of applicable law. If your resume does contain such data and you set your resume as public, then you agree that we may retain this information and use it in accordance with this Statement. We cannot control third parties’ access to such information from our searchable database.

Posting Your Information to Public Areas of ESLPlacement

Please remember that if you post any of your personal information in public areas of ESLPlacement, such as in online forums or chat rooms, or in the searchable resume database, such information may be collected and used by others over whom ESLPlacement has no control. We cannot control the use made by third parties of information you post or otherwise make available in public areas of ESLPlacement.

Your Choices About Your Information 

Because managing your career is a life-long process, we retain all the information we gather about you in an effort to make your repeat use with us more efficient, practical and relevant until you change or remove your personal data as described below. You may have access to, review, correct, update, change or delete your account profile information or resume at any time. Simply log into your account, go to your profile or resume, and make the necessary changes. You may delete your resume from ESLPlacement’s online database at any time by accessing your account. Before providing you with a copy of your personal information or correcting, updating or deleting such information, we reserve the right to verify and authenticate your identity and the personal information to which you have requested access. Access to or correction, updating or deletion of your personal information may be denied or limited by ESLPlacement if it would violate another person’s rights and/or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. We will respond to information access requests within 30 days of receipt. If we require additional time to provide access to your information, we will acknowledge receipt of your request within 30 days and promptly supplement our response within the time period required by applicable law.

If you wish to delete or close your account or account profile information altogether, please contact us. An email will be sent to you to confirm that your personal information has been deleted (save for an archival copy which is not accessible by you or third parties on the Internet). The archival copy is retained only for as long as ESLPlacement reasonably considers necessary for audit and record purposes. We will retain logs, demographic, indirect, and statistical information about you and keep an archival copy of this information in an anonymized form. If your personal information was previously accessed by others using our Sites, we are not able to delete the information or copies thereof from their systems.

If you are a job seeker with a public resume and have not logged onto the web site for an extended period, we may make your resume unsearchable.

If you wish to revoke your consent to our Privacy Statement, please contact us. However, please note that if you do withdraw your consent, you may not be able to use the relevant services and your account and profile information will be deleted.

If you previously opted to receive newsletters, commercial e-mails or other communications from ESLPlacement or third parties, but subsequently change your mind, you may opt-out by editing your account profile as described above. If you previously opted not to receive such communications, you may later opt-in by editing your account profile.

Changes to Privacy Statement

If we decide to change the substance of our Privacy Statement for ESLPlacement, we will, where required, contact you via the email address that you maintain in your profile. We will also post those changes through a prominent notice on the web site so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and to whom we will disclose it.
