Your Privacy Rights and Options

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS AND OPTIONS

RIGHTS

Certain U.S. states including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia provide (now or in the future) and laws like the General Data Protection Regulation in Europe may grant you rights to control your personal information. Consistent with these laws, Monster gives you options to access, edit, or remove certain information, as well as choices about how we contact you. Although some of these rights apply generally, certain rights will only apply to limited individuals or circumstances.

Right to Know and Access Information. Note that much of the information you are entitled to know or access is disclosed in this Privacy Policy. With this said, you have the right to know about our information practices. You also have the right to access the categories of data we collect, with whom we share or sell that information, and, in some cases, what specific personal information is associated with your account.
Right to Deletion or Erasure. You may request that we delete the personal information we have collected about you. Depending on the applicable law, in some cases we are required or permitted to retain your information, even if you validly requested we delete or erase it.
Right to Correct Information. You may request we correct or rectify inaccurate information we have collected about you.
Right to Data Portability. You may request a copy of your information, and we will provide it in an easily accessible format.
Right to Limit Use of Information for Advertising. You may opt-out of our use of your personal information for advertising purposes.
Right to Limit Sales of Information. You may opt-out of the sale of your personal information.
Right to Opt out of Profiling. Where applicable, you may opt out of the use of your information for profiling in a way that produces legally significant effects.
Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Information or Require Consent to Process. You may opt-out of certain uses of your sensitive information or we may be required to obtain your consent before collecting sensitive information. Submitting an opt-out request may limit our use of your sensitive personal information to certain purposes, like only using sensitive information to deliver our services to you. We will obtain your consent where required by law.
Right to Withdraw Consent. You may withdraw your consent to our data privacy practices.
Right to Non-Discrimination. You have the right to not experience discrimination from us for exercising the rights listed in this section. What we mean by discrimination is denying you access to our services or limiting the quality of our services. Note, however, that in some cases, our services require certain information, otherwise we cannot provide them to you.

Nevada provides its residents with a limited right to opt-out of certain personal information sales. Residents who wish to exercise this sale opt-out right may submit a request as noted under the “Exercising Your Rights” section.

What happens when you submit a rights request:

We acknowledge your request. We will first acknowledge receipt of your request.

We may ensure that you are the person making the request. In general, when you make a request we will take steps to verify your identity. Verification steps may include sending you an email asking for verification of the request, asking you for personal information, such as your name, address, or other information we maintain about you. If we are unable to verify your identity with the degree of certainty required, we may not be able to respond to the request.

Your agent can submit requests for you. You may also designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. If you do so, you will be required to verify your identity by providing us with certain personal information as described above. Additionally, we will also require written proof the agent has permission to act on your behalf. We will deny your request if the agent is unable to submit proof to us that you have authorized them to act on your behalf.

EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS [Continued]

How long will it take? We will either fulfill or reject your request as soon as we can, generally within 45 days from when we receive your request (or less, if required by law), although we may be allowed to take longer to process your request under certain circumstances.

Residents of certain states, such as Colorado and Virginia, allow consumers the right to appeal a decision we make related to your rights requests. To appeal a decision, please contact us.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

PRIVACY OPTIONS FOR RESUME DATABASE

Posting your resume on our websites or apps puts you in front of thousands of recruiters with open positions each day. When you post your resume, we may automatically create a registration for you using the email address and password that you supply. When you return to the websites or apps in the future, you will use that same email address and password to access and edit your existing resume.

We know that our job seekers have varying levels of comfort when it comes to publicly posting a resume on the Internet. To accommodate the needs of all users, Monster has three levels of resume privacy from which you can choose. Please note that these privacy settings only apply to whether or not your resume is publicly available to third parties. Monster will still collect, use, or disclose personal information, as well as Aggregated Data about you and your visits to our website, in the manner described in this Privacy Policy. You may adjust your visibility settings at any time by signing into your Monster account , selecting “settings” and then selecting “privacy and communications,” which will show your visibility settings. We attempt to limit access to our searchable databases to legitimate users, but cannot guarantee that other parties will not gain access to these searchable databases. Although we limit access and use of information from our products and services in our Terms and Conditions, we cannot control the use of information by third parties once they obtain that information from our products and services. Accordingly, you should not put information you would not want made public in your resume—regardless of the visibility setting you choose.

Visibility Choices Include:

1. Visible to Employers

When you set your profile to “Visible to Employers,” this gives you the most visibility to our broadest recruiter audience by making your resume searchable in our resume database. If you select this option, any registered company (or individual recruiter) user who purchases access to the databases can view your resume and contact details (to the extent you include them in your resume).

2. Not Visible to Employers

When you set your profile to “Not Visible to Employers,” this prevents your resume from being searchable by recruiters in the Monster resume database. You can still quickly and easily apply for specific jobs with the resume that you have on file without retyping your information.

3.Hide Name and Contact Information

When you set your profile to “Hide Name and Contact Information,” or when you do not choose a visibility setting, recruiters in the Monster resume database cannot see your contact information, provided that such information is not included on your resume. If a recruiter wants to contact you, they can use Monster’s messaging tool to do so.

REVIEW, UPDATE, OR DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION OR PROFILE

We appreciate your help in keeping your personal information updated. Monster takes steps to ensure that the data we collect is accurate. However, we collect information from a variety of sources and, in some cases, by automated means. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the information is always current, accurate, or complete, and in particular, we are not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of information whose source Monster does not control.

You can update information associated with your account directly on our websites and apps by signing into your account, or by calling us toll-free at (833) 971-0574.

We understand that you may want to delete your Job Seeker Profile, especially if you found a job you love. You may delete your Job Seeker Profile, including any resumes, at any time by submitting a request to “Delete My Personal Information” via this web form.

If you request deletion of your Job Seeker Profile, some of your information may be retained by us or by third parties. Please be advised that, even in the event of a successful account deletion, recruiters and others who have paid for access to our databases and/or received your personal information as part of a job application, as well as parties who have otherwise gained access to our databases may have retained a copy of your resume in their own files or databases. We cannot control the retention, use, or privacy of resumes that have been downloaded by third parties.

Further, we may retain copies of your account in data backups used for securing our services. These copies will eventually be written over or erased as we conduct routine data backup processes, however, deleting accounts from data backups is not part of the account deletion process.

Finally, we will retain the Aggregate Data of users who request deletion of their account for uses described in this Privacy Policy.

MESSAGE CENTER COMMUNICATIONS AND PREFERENCES

Your account has a Message Center. If you have made your resume visible to employers and recruiters, they can contact you directly with the contact information on your resume or use the Message Center to send you messages--and you can use the Message Center to respond--through a private proxy message without disclosing your personal email address.

The Message Center provides you options to opt-out of future communications from certain senders, which will prevent them from using the Message Center to reach out to you. The Message Center communication preferences will not, however, impact communications directly sent from recruiters or other third parties outside of Message Center.

SOME IMPORTANT TIPS TO USE WHEN DEALING WITH RECRUITERS

You should use your own careful judgment about whether and what information to provide to recruiters.
DO NOT PUT SENSITIVE INFORMATION ON YOUR RESUME, such as your Social Security Number.
If restricted or prohibited by the local laws in the jurisdiction where you reside, do not provide Monster, or otherwise include in your resumes or Monster profile other sensitive information that reveals racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, health or sex life, genetic or biometric data, the commission of criminal offences or proceedings, unlawful conduct, and associated penalties.
Do not provide your Social Security Number, national identification number, or any state, provincial, or other local identification number to any third party via your online application. Identity thieves may attempt to trick you into providing sensitive information. Do not provide any non-work related personal information (i.e., your Social Security Number or any other state or national identification number, eye color, marital status, etc.) over the phone or online.
Job seekers should never provide credit card or bank numbers or engage in a monetary transaction of any sort.
Be cautious when dealing with contacts outside of your own country.
