How We Disclose Information to Others
HOW WE DISCLOSE INFORMATION TO OTHERS
We disclose your personal information in the following circumstances:
When you consent. Out of respect for your privacy, Monster will not disclose your personal information to others without your consent, except as specified in this Privacy Policy.
When you publicly post the information. All users should be aware that when they choose to display or distribute personal information (such as their email address or other contact information on a public resume), that information can be collected and used by others. Any registered company, individual recruiter, or user who purchases access to our platform(s) can view your public or “visible to employers” resume and contact details (to the extent you include them in your resume) when you upload your resume with the standard, default search options enabled. This may result in unsolicited messages from third parties.
When you interact with a recruiter or employer. We provide a platform that allows recruiters, employers, our customers, and third parties to see job seekers’ Monster resume and Job Seeker Profile. When job seekers interact with a recruiter or employer through Monster websites, apps or products, their personal information may become part of that company's database. Remember the use of your personal information by the recruiters or employers who you interact with (and others who obtain your information through them) will be subject to the privacy policy of that company, and we are not responsible for that company's use of your information.
When you connect your Job Seeker Profile to your social media account. Some of our features enable you to connect to a social media account or share information on social media platforms, like LinkedIn and Facebook. Any information you voluntarily share on social media may be visible to a global audience. Information shared to social media will be subject to the social media provider's privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.
When you view an ad or sponsored post. In some cases, the information generated when you browse our websites or apps (and other third-party websites and apps, in some cases) is shared with advertising partners and analytics service providers.
With our affiliated companies. We share the information that we collect with other Monster companies, subsidiaries, and related affiliates.
For co-branded products and features. When you provide information on websites or apps that are "hosted" or "co-branded" by another company, that information will be made available to both Monster and the hosting/co-branding company.
With our service providers and vendors. We share all or a portion of your information with our service providers who help us deliver our products and services to you and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Although Monster requires that these third parties meet our privacy and security requirements, Monster does not control the privacy or security policies of such third parties. One service provider we share data with is Sift Science, Inc., which uses it to perform necessary fraud checks. Sift’s privacy notice is available here
When we are legally required to do so. Monster may disclose without your prior consent any information about you or your use of our websites or apps, if we believe disclosure is necessary to:
- Protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of Monster, employees, other users of the websites or apps, or the public
- Enforce the Terms and Conditions that apply to use of the websites or apps
- Fulfill a legally valid request from a competent governmental authority and/or law enforcement agency
- Respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties
- Satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
For a merger, acquisition, change in ownership, or reorganization. Personal information we have collected may be disclosed to a third party in the event of a merger, transfer of ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy or other corporate reorganization.
