Privacy Policy

Alongside knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting our site at www.alongside.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Your Privacy is Important to Us. At Alongside, your privacy is our chief concern. We understand that you entrust us with your private information. In exchange for your trust, you expect and deserve our commitment to treat your information with respect. Rest assured that we protect your privacy. Under no circumstances will Alongside sell or share any personal information about you to or with any person or organization except as authorized by you. The Privacy Policy below describes the standards we adhere to in handling information about you and employment application.

1. Who We Are. Alongside is an intelligent job board that transforms the relationship between candidates and employers by making better matches.

2. Information We Collect. There are several areas on a Alongside site where you may be asked to enter both personal and non-personal information. We DO NOT sell or share any personal information about you to or with any person or organization except as authorized by you.

   Technical information we collect. In order for us to ensure that we are providing the best possible experience on the Alongside Web site, we collect and track certain user information. When you visit the Alongside Web site, our Web server sends a cookie to your computer. This cookie merely stores a limited amount of information about your site visit. The cookie merely tracks aggregate information on how our site is being used, including session counts, navigation patterns, pages visited, etc. These cookies, however, do not store any personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, phone number, etc. as you browse the site. These cookies cannot be related to you as an individual unless you join Alongside. When you join Alongside, we store your cookie identification in our system. If you request that we remember you, we use this cookie to allow our site to recognize you when you return. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of Alongside's features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.

   Alongside also utilizes Web Logs to track aggregate information about how our site is being used. Web Logs track anonymous user information, including the number of visitors to our site, operating systems, Internet Provider addresses (if publicly available), and browser type. Unlike cookies, Web Logs are maintained only on Alongside servers and do not store or place anything on the user's computer.

   If you come to the Alongside web site from an online banner ad, an anonymous identification number may be passed to our site. This information cannot be used to gather any personally identifiable information about you. It will only allow us to track the overall effectiveness of our online advertising campaigns.

   Information from surveys. You may complete a survey from Alongside online. Participation in surveys is completely voluntary and it is your choice whether or not you wish to disclose your personal information to us. Every survey presented to you will include specific instructions regarding how your information may be shared. By clicking the "Submit" button at the end of the survey, you authorize Alongside to share your data in the manner outlined on the survey.

   Information from the "Contact Us" section of a Alongside Web site. You may contact Alongside through the "Contact Us" feature. Participation in this area is completely voluntary and it is your choice whether or not you wish to disclose your personal information to us. Moreover, to help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Alongside.com if your computer supports such capabilities. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your account preferences.

3. How your information is used. We use the information provided by users to notify you of application updates or special offers. At your request, Alongside will not send you any information or offers. If you do not wish to receive any of these offers, please contact us and request to be removed from our mailing list.

4. Altering Information You Submit Through a Alongside Web Site. Alongside puts you in control of your information. You'll find our site easy to navigate to find all the information you need to control the information that you have provided.

   Changing your information. You may be able to review and change all information stored within Alongside, unless processes or functions restrict the altering of data through Alongside online. If you are unable to complete this online, you may contact us for assistance.

   Request to stop receiving emails from us. Periodically, Alongside may send you emails to alert you to application updates or special offers. If you do not wish to receive any of these offers, please contact us and request that we remove you from our mailing list.

   Security. Alongside sites have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.

5. Deleting Your Account. If you would like to delete your account, you can send an email to support@alongside.com asking for your account to be deleted. If you close or delete your account, we may still retain certain non identifiable information for analytical purposes and recordkeeping integrity.

6. Personal Data. Alongside stores your Personal Data until it is no longer necessary to provide our services, or until you ask us to delete your Personal Data. If you wish to delete your Personal Data, you should submit a deletion request.

   Once your Personal Data is deleted You will no longer have access to any of the data we make available under that account, including but not limited to, saved jobs, jobs that you have applied to, resume/cover letters, and any other data associated with the account.

   Please note: When you apply for a job through our Website or mobile application and you request Personal Data deletion thereafter, the job application may still be accessible to the Employer who received it, as well as any messages sent to or received from you. If you are a Job Seeker and want to delete a job application performed from our Website, please note that your applications and materials may be controlled by an Employer and we may direct you to that Employer for Personal Data deletion requests where that Personal Data is held by that Employer.

7. Terms of Service, Notices, and Revisions. If you choose to visit the Alongside site, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes. If you have any concern about privacy at Alongside, please contact us with a thorough description, and we will try to resolve it. Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes. If we make a change to our Privacy Policy in the future that will affect how we treat your information, we will notify you of the change. In that case, your ability to opt out of the new policy will be determined by applicable laws and we will include that information in our notification. If the change impacts how we use your information, we will notify you even if you have requested that we not contact you. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
