Privacy Policy of CareerLaunch

Last Updated: [03/11/2023]

Your privacy is critically important to us. At CareerLaunch, we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We are thoughtful about the personal information we ask you to provide and the personal information that we collect about you through the operation of our services.
  • We store personal information for only as long as we have a reason to keep it.
  • We aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what information on our website is shared publicly (or kept private), indexed by search engines, and permanently deleted.
  • We help protect you from overreaching government demands for your personal information.
  • We strive for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share your personal information.

Below is our Privacy Policy, which incorporates and clarifies these principles.

Information We Collect

We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so — for example, to provide our services, to communicate with you, or to make our services better.

We collect this information from three sources: if and when you provide information to us, automatically through operating our services, and from outside sources. Let’s go over the information that we collect.

Information You Provide to Us

It’s probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us directly. Here are some examples:

  • Account Information: If you create an account on CareerLaunch, we require some important information such as a username, password, and email address.
  • Profile Information: You might also provide us with your photo, a bio, or other details.
  • Communications with Us: You may also provide us with information when you respond to surveys, communicate with our support team about a support question, post a question in our public forums, or sign up for a newsletter.

Information We Collect Automatically

We also collect some information automatically:

  • Log Information: Like most online services, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information.
  • Usage Information: We collect information about your usage of our services. We use this information to get insights on how people use our services, so we can make our services better.
  • Cookies: We may use cookies to recognize you as a user, customize our services, content, and advertising, measure promotional effectiveness, and ensure trust and safety on our site.

Information We Collect from Other Sources

We may also get information about you from other sources. For instance, if you create or log into your CareerLaunch account through another service (like Google) or if you connect your website or account to a social media service (like Twitter), we will receive information from that service (e.g., your username, basic profile information, friends list) via the authorization procedures for that service.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to provide our services to you, to make them better, to develop new services, and to protect CareerLaunch and our users. For example, we may compare how different CareerLaunch pages perform using a subset of your log data in an anonymized way.

Sharing Information

How we share the information we collect depends in part on whether it is personal information or non-personal information. Non-personal information may be shared publicly and with our partners. Personal information is shared only in the following circumstances or with the following groups:

  • With your consent: We may share and disclose information with your consent or at your direction.
  • Aggregated or Anonymously: We may share information in an aggregated or anonymized form that does not reasonably identify you directly as an individual.
  • With service providers: We may share information with third-party vendors who need to know this information in order to provide their services to us.

Security

While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect your information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction and take reasonable measures to do so.

Choices

You have several choices available when it comes to your information:

  • Limit the Information You Provide: If you have an account with us, you can choose not to provide the optional account and profile information.
  • Set Your Browser to Reject Cookies: You can choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies before using CareerLaunch’s website, with the drawback that certain features of our website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
  • Close Your Account: While we’d be very sad to see you go, if you no longer want to use our services, you can close your account.

Your Rights
