2.1 Information You Provide to Genesis Placements

– From Your Account

We collect data from you when you create an account, request information, subscribe for a service, participate in a survey, post a rating or review, post a question or answer, upload or build a resume, complete an Genesis Placements Assessment, update your job preferences, upload content, or otherwise actively send us data on our Sites. This may include, but is not limited to, your username, password, first and last name, email address, telephone number (including mobile phone number), street address, gender, occupation, interests, achievements, career goals, professional certification or license numbers, messages you send to users, your desired work schedule or salary and other job preferences, and any other data included in your account, Genesis Placements Profile, answers to screening questions submitted to Genesis Placements or to Employers through Genesis Placements, and answers you give to any questionnaires on our Site or sent to you. All of this information may be associated with your Genesis Placements account.

You may provide your specific location data when you provide it yourself on the Genesis Placements Apps (as defined in the Genesis Placements Terms of Service Introduction) to help you find more relevant Job Listings. Genesis Placements seeks your consent at the time of such provision, and such processing will only be performed where consent is secured. Some location data the Genesis Placements Apps collect is linked to your account (for example, “coarse” location data collected by an iOS app). Other location data the Genesis Placements Apps collect is not linked to your account (for example, “precise” location data collected by an iOS app) but is still used by Genesis Placements.

If you create an Genesis Placements account, Genesis Placements may also create and assign to your device an identifier that is similar to an account number. We may collect the name you have associated with your device, device type, telephone number, country, and any other information you choose to provide, such as username, email address, or zip code. For example, while using a mobile device to access Genesis Placements, Genesis Placements may provide a Job Seeker with relevant Job Listings that are located within the same zip code as where this activity is taking place.

– Through Your Activity on the Sites

In addition, as part of the standard and necessary operation of the Sites, Genesis Placements may collect, analyze, process, store, and record in real-time and analyze any and all of your activity on, interaction with, and communications on or through the Sites, including, but not limited to, by collecting, analyzing, processing, storing, and recording the areas of the Sites you visit (such as specific URLs), whether and where you click, scroll, hover-over, mouse over, or otherwise interact with or communicate with or through our Sites, and when and for how long each such activity occurred. This also may include Genesis Placements collecting, analyzing, processing, storing, and recording information from and about your computer or mobile device and your actions taken on the Sites, including, but not limited to, Your Resume, your searches, the titles of jobs you search, click on or apply to, where those jobs are located, your salary interest or experience, the general salary range or experience level of the jobs you view (where indicated), the Job Listings you apply to, the date, time and type of your activity on the Sites such as how often you update Your Resume or look for jobs, session activity, browser type, operating system, type of device, mobile device advertising identifier, MAC address, IP address, and any of your other behavior or actions on, interaction with, or communications with or through the Sites. The Site cannot work as Genesis Placements intends it to work unless Genesis Placements undertakes such activities. If you do not want your actions to be collected, processed, analyzed, or recorded this way, do not use the Site.

For Employers, this may also include actions taken with regard to a Job Listing or to Job Seeker’s resume or application, such as pausing or closing a Job Listing, opening, viewing or responding to a resume or application, or making a decision with regard to a resume, application or Job Listing.

– Through Your Activity on Genesis Placements Hire

Employers may be contacted to take advantage of our Genesis Placements Hire service, in which case you may provide Genesis Placements with additional information about hiring needs. This allows Genesis Placements to determine whether or not our Hire product is suitable for an Employer’s needs. When Job Seekers apply for a job recommended to them by Genesis Placements Hire, Genesis Placements facilitates certain aspects of the recruitment process including, for example, negotiations between the Job Seeker and the Employer, as applicable. As such, we collect and process any information submitted to Genesis Placements through this process, including but not limited to any queries a Job Seeker may have about the job or interview, information about progression through the recruitment process and information relating to salary.

– When Using Automated Phone Screening

If you use any automated phone screening product, Genesis Placements will record and store your answers to an Employer’s screening questions and will forward your answers to the Employer. Where you wish to use such a product, you will agree in advance to Genesis Placements listening to and analyzing the recording in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

– When Providing Employer Information

If you are an Employer, we may request that you provide certain information in order to verify your account. This information may include, but may not be limited to, your Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN),GSTIN Number, Business Registration information, or a utility bill, the name and email address of an Employer representative. This information will be used for internal purposes only, subject to any request by law enforcement or a court order.

– When Using Chargeable Services

In connection with chargeable services, we will also collect payment information (e.g., the last four digits of credit, debit, or other payment card numbers and related verification information). Please note that Genesis Placements only has access to the last four digits of credit, debit, or other payment card numbers, and does not store full card numbers or related card security codes.

– When Voluntarily Providing Demographic Information

In certain markets users can, entirely at their own choice, provide their demographic information including age, race & ethnicity, gender, disability, and LGBTQ+ community membership to Genesis Placements for specific purpose(s) such as evaluating ‘fairness’ in our offerings which includes testing for unfair bias. A commitment to fairness is core to Genesis Placement’s mission. The provision of this information is entirely voluntary and will not be used in any determination of your job application. The data provided will not be displayed on your Genesis Placements Profile. Genesis Placements may share aggregate data (data grouped together with personal identifiers removed) to employers to show them, for example: when 45% of total applicants identify as male. The data you provide is based on your consent at the time the information is taken. If you choose to provide your demographic information, you can complete as many of the data fields as you like when presented with an input form (you can choose ‘prefer not to say’ for any of the fields that you don’t want to complete). You can easily request a copy of the demographic data Genesis Placements holds by requesting a copy of your personal data and you can ask for this information to be removed at any time by deleting your demographic information.

Please note that some employers are required by law to ask each job applicant to provide their Demographic Information on a voluntary basis, and you may see these questions after applying to jobs on Genesis Placements. This is a separate process to Genesis Placement’s.

– When Updating Information Provided to Genesis Placements

When you share information with Genesis Placements, or update information previously provided to Genesis Placements, including preferences such as making your resume on Genesis Placements or information shared in the “About Me” section of your profile “public” or “private,” it may take us a few days to reflect these changes on the Sites. From the time you make these changes to the time we reflect them on our Sites, new data may not appear and previously provided data may continue to show. As a result, information you no longer choose to share publicly on our Site may continue to be visible in our Resume Search product and elsewhere on our Sites to Employers and other users.

2.2 Information Collected When You Apply for Jobs or Access Genesis Placements from Some Third-Party Websites

– When You Log In or Use Genesis Placements from Some Third-Party Websites

You may also create an account or log in to your Genesis Placements account using third-party websites including, but not limited to, Facebook or Google. If you do not already have an Genesis Placements account but log in to Genesis Placements using your Facebook or Google account, this creates an Genesis Placements account using the same email address used in your Facebook or Google account. If you agree to provide this information to Genesis Placements, Facebook or Google will authenticate you and redirect you to Genesis Placements. Please note, when you log in to Genesis Placements using your Facebook or Google account, Facebook or Google will cookie you in order to authenticate you as a Facebook or Google user.

By accessing Genesis Placements through your Facebook or Google account, you understand that Facebook or Google will share certain data detailed in the above paragraph for the purposes of authentication to permit you to access Genesis Placements in a secure manner. If you no longer wish to share data with Genesis Placements from your Facebook or Google account, you will need to adjust your Facebook or Google account settings.

Once you give this permission, the requested information will be shared with Genesis Placements. This information will be used to provide services to you, including populating your Genesis Placements Profile on Genesis Placements.

Genesis Placements may also collect information about third-party websites you visit through our mobile software or while using Genesis Placements for Chrome. This could include information about Job Listings, notes or application statuses that you submit, save, or update, or data regarding how you engage with websites or other actions you take on such websites, including URLs of websites you visit. We may also suggest information from your Genesis Placements Profile to include in applications you submit on third-party sites and see whether you make changes to these suggestions but not the changes themselves. We do this in order to allow a Job Seeker to keep a record of particular Job Listings of interest, to detect a job application on a third-party site to give a Job Seeker the option to auto-fill parts of the form using Genesis Placements Resume, or to confirm an application. Genesis Placements for Chrome also allows Genesis Placements to learn about what types of jobs and Genesis Placements product features are of interest to you, so that we can provide you with improved Job Listing searches, Job Listing recommendations and product features. 

– When You Apply to Jobs on Some Third-Party Websites

When you apply for a job on certain third-party websites, Genesis Placements may also receive information about the status of your job application and the decisions taken by the Employer such as whether the application reached the interview stage and whether a job offer was accepted or rejected. This information helps Genesis Placements further understand the effectiveness of our Sites and its features. Genesis Placement’s use of this information is detailed in section 4 of this Privacy Policy.

– When You Interact with Sponsored Jobs

Genesis Placements provides Employers with tools which help them manage, track and optimize the performance of their advertising across a multitude of job advertising sites and platforms in real-time (“Sponsored Jobs”). When you click on a Job Listing powered by Sponsored Jobs, and when you start and complete a job application generated by Sponsored Jobs on an Employer’s website or a website operated by an Employer’s applicant tracking system, Genesis Placements may collect certain information about you and any actions taken by you during your visit using automated means, such as cookies and web beacons. The information collected includes, for example, information about your device, Job Listings viewed/clicked, job applications started and completed, referring URLs and dates and times of site visits. 

– When you Communicate with Genesis Placements through Third-Party Websites

You may also have the ability to interact with Genesis Placements through third-party messaging services, apps and websites, such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. When you interact with Genesis Placements through these third-party services, apps, and websites, you acknowledge that your use of such services may be subject to additional terms provided by the third parties that operate them, and that such third parties may have access to your communications with Genesis Placements, including application data you submit to Genesis Placements while you are on such platforms. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, APPS, WEBSITES, AND OTHER PLATFORMS (SUCH AS THOSE FROM FACEBOOK, OR  GOOGLE, AND WHATSAPP) OR ANY OTHER THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT WITH THIRD-PARTY OPERATORS OF THOSE PLATFORMS.

2.3 Any Other Personal Data Genesis Placements May Receive from Third Parties

Any Personal Data that Genesis Placements may obtain from other third-party sources, including data from sponsored advertisements that we have on third-party sites, will be processed by Genesis Placements in accordance with this Privacy Policy and all applicable laws.

2.4 Storage of Your Information

Genesis Placements stores your Personal Data until it is no longer necessary to provide our services or until you ask us to delete your Personal Data. As one example, if an Employer deletes a job application in their candidate dashboard on Genesis Placements, Genesis Placements may delete information associated with that application. As another example, after an application has been delivered to an Employer, Genesis Placements may retain a copy of that application for a limited time and then delete the copy. We are also required to retain certain information in order to comply with local laws.

Genesis Placements may also store the information detailed in this section 2 of the Privacy Policy on its equipment or the equipment of third parties that Genesis Placements has a relationship with. Such storage services will be governed by appropriate protections, as required by applicable rules.

2.5 What Personal Data is Required

Personal Data may be required in order to provide particular Genesis Placements services or features to you. If Personal Data is required, it will be indicated at the time of collection.  If Personal Data is required and you choose not to provide it, then the particular feature or service may not be available to you.

2.6 The Legal Basis on Which Genesis Placements Collects Your Personal Data

Genesis Placements collects and processes your Personal Data on the basis of different legal grounds, depending on the nature of the Personal Data being provided and the type of processing involved.

– Performance of a Contract

Some of the Personal Data processed by Genesis Placements is performed on the basis that it is necessary for the performance of our agreement with you, or in order to take steps at the request of the user prior to entering such an agreement. An example of this would be where Genesis Placements sends a Job Seeker’s application to an Employer.

– Legitimate Interest

A second ground relied upon by Genesis Placements for other types of processing of your Personal Data is that it is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by Genesis Placements or an Employer. Examples of such legitimate interests will include where Genesis Placements sends you marketing about our products and services, where we believe you have a reasonable expectation that we will perform a particular type of processing on your behalf, where such processing is strictly necessary for fraud detection and prevention, or where we share your Personal Data with Genesis Placements affiliates as detailed in section 4.14 below. Genesis Placements will only rely on such a ground where an assessment has been performed balancing the interests and rights involved and the necessity of the processing in order to provide our services, products and features to you.

– Compliance with a Legal Obligation

A third ground relied upon for certain types of processing is that it is necessary in order to allow Genesis Placements to comply with a legal obligation. An example of this would be where Genesis Placements is required to retain business records for fixed periods of time in order to comply with local legal requirements.

– Consent

Finally, in certain limited situations, Genesis Placements relies on your consent in order to process your Personal Data. Where Genesis Placements requires your consent, we seek it at the time of provision, and the processing will only be performed where consent is secured. For example, your consent will be sought in certain instances where you initiate a marketing message such as a Job Alert with Genesis Placements (detailed in section 4 of this Privacy Policy). You can withdraw your consent, as detailed in section 10 of this Privacy Policy where applicable, or by sending us email using our Contact Us Page.

3. Limitations of Use 

3.1 Where a Job Seeker Wants to Close a Job Seeker Account

When a Job Seeker closes an account, the Job Seeker will no longer have access to any of the data we make available under that account, including but not limited to, search history, job search preferences, saved jobs, jobs the Job Seeker has applied to, Job Alerts, Genesis Placements Profile, and any other data associated with the account. If the Job Seeker uses the same email address to set up a new account, this data from a previous account will not become available to the Job Seeker again. Please also note that closing your Job Seeker account may result in you losing access to some of our products and the ability to utilize the “log in with Genesis Placements” feature found on certain third-party sites.

Genesis Placements reserves the right to keep any materials in a closed account as necessary to preserve and protect its rights to the extent permitted by law (for example, to preserve records of a dispute) or to comply with its obligations under local law (for example, if requested to retain by law enforcement). A closed account does not mean that all of the data is expunged from the Genesis Placements systems, although it will not be readily available under the Job Seeker’s original account. Genesis Placements will begin to process that instruction within 24 hours  of the Job Seeker initiating the process. Genesis Placements will complete the operation within 40 days.

If a Job Seeker wishes to access or delete their Personal Data held by Genesis Placements, they should follow the steps listed in section 10 of this Privacy Policy.

3.2 Where an Employer Wants to Disable an Employer Account

Employers may disable an account at any time by contacting Us. Please note that Genesis Placements must preserve business records pertaining to that account to comply with its obligations under law. Alternatively, if an Employer agent wishes to access or delete their Personal Data held by Genesis Placements, they should follow the steps listed in section 10 of this Privacy Policy.

3.3 Where a Job Seeker Wants to Delete a Job Application

If a Job Seeker wants to delete a job application performed on the Sites, they are advised to contact the prospective Employer directly to request deletion of their application. Job seeker applications and materials submitted through the Sites, including through Genesis Placements Apply, may be controlled by the Employer. We may direct you to that Employer for Personal Data deletion requests where that Personal Data is held by that Employer.

3.4 Where the Employer Contact Details Provided to Genesis Placements Are Incorrect

Genesis Placements depends on the Employer or the Employer’s agent to provide Genesis Placements with the correct destination for all applications. In the event that the electronic destination provided to Genesis Placements is incorrect, your application materials will not be sent to the intended recipient of the application. Genesis Placements has no liability for such applications. If you do not wish to send your application materials in this manner, you should send them directly to the Employer.

3.6 Minimum Age of our Users

The Sites are not for use by anyone under the age of 16. However if local laws provide for an alternative minimum age for the provision of the Sites’ services to you, then that shall apply as the applicable minimum age. In all jurisdictions outside the European Union, if you are under the age of 18 or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must use the Sites under the supervision of your parent, legal guardian or responsible adult.

We adopt a range of measures to try to ensure that we do not accept individuals who do not meet the minimum age and any other applicable age requirements.

4. Purposes, Uses and Disclosures of Information

We may use any information collected pursuant to this Privacy Policy, including Personal Data, for the purposes set forth in sections 4, 5 and 9 of this Privacy Policy, to the extent applicable. Genesis Placements associates Personal Data with your Genesis Placements Profile in order to perform the activities described in this Privacy Policy. Genesis Placements uses such information to help Job Seekers find jobs and to help Employers find candidates. In order to do this we use your Personal Data to:

1. provide our services, products and features to you, to help Job Seekers find jobs and Employers find candidates;
2. to measure and improve those services, products and features; and
3. to protect our users and provide them with customer support.

More detail on these purposes, uses and disclosures of your information is set out below.

4.1 Creating an Account, Sending You Job Alerts and Other Promotional Materials

Genesis Placements may use third-party partners to perform these activities on Genesis Placement’s behalf.

A Job Alert is an email that you sign up for containing Job Listings in response to a search query you have run. A company alert is one type of Job Alert which contains Job Listings and other information you have requested regarding a company. Job Alerts may also include jobs that are recommended for you, Genesis Placements Targeted Ads, companies you may be interested in following, or other actions you may want to take on the Sites. The frequency of Job Alerts may be adjusted by Genesis Placements on the Sites.

When you create an account, you may receive Job Feed emails. Job Feed emails recommend Job Listings based on your aggregated search queries, your Profile information, and your Job Preferences. Job Feed emails may also include jobs that are recommended for you, Genesis Placements Targeted Ads, companies you may be interested in following, or other actions you may want to take on the Sites. The frequency of Job Feed emails may be adjusted by Genesis Placements on the Sites. You can unsubscribe from Job Feed emails in your account email preferences, or as described further in this Privacy Policy.

 An Invitation delivered by Genesis Placements is a notice sent to you inviting you to take action on a Job Listing that may be relevant to you, which you may receive via email, notification, or push notification depending on your preferences. Genesis Placements may invite you to apply, interview, confirm your interest, or take other actions based on your previous job search and application history on Genesis Placements, and any information, including Personal Data, you upload to the Site. Genesis Placements may also send Invitations on behalf of Employers who determine your resume to be a relevant match for their Job Listing. If you agree to share your resume from an Affiliate site with Genesis Placements, Genesis Placements may send you an Invitation to take action on a Job Listing hosted on the Affiliate’s site. If your resume is public on Genesis Placements, employers may send you an Invitation to apply, interview, or confirm your interest, when they post relevant Job Listings.

As part of how we display our promotional materials to you, we may also use your information to show you targeted advertisements, and other content that has been customized for you, on third-party platforms, such as other online, print, or televised media. Such advertisements will only relate to the Sites services, products, and features, all of which focus on helping Job Seekers find jobs and Employers find candidates. If you wish to opt out of receiving any marketing messages from the Sites, please see section 10.3 of this Privacy Policy.

– Employer Accounts

In the Employer account settings, we offer users the ability to invite other users to link their Genesis Placements Employer accounts, and in doing so, assign invited users specific roles that provide varying levels of access to information, including candidate Personal Data, contained in the account of the user who initiated the invite. If you are an Employer and you invite other Genesis Placements users to link their accounts to yours, you agree that such linked users may have access to any and all information in your account. Depending on the roles assigned to a particular linked user, this may include, but not be limited to, resume contacts, application materials and statuses, communications with applicants, any action taken by a you or another user linked to the account and when you took that action, and billing information within the account. 

If you accept another user’s invitation to link your Employer account to their Employer account, you acknowledge that any and all information about your activity in your Employer account, including without limitation the actions you take and when you take them, will be visible to all linked users. Linked users will not be able to see your activity, such as your job searches, applications or preferences or your Genesis Placements Profile information, in your Job Seeker account.  

You may visit your account settings at any time to unlink your account.  The administrator assigned to an Employer account may also unlink any user from that Employer account at any time, and may be notified if your linked account is used to login from too many devices.

4.2 Giving You Relevant Search Results and Recommended Jobs

In order to optimize our services, products and features for you, we may use your previous search and browsing history (e.g. the jobs you click on), or application materials and answers to screening questions, to identify you, determine relevant search results and reach out to you about jobs you may be interested in. We may also use your Genesis Placements Profile data to tailor your experience on the Sites and to display content according to your preferences. We may return different results for the same search query and have full discretion with respect to the Job Listings we present in response to any particular search. In the event that you have applied to a job that is being serviced by Genesis Placements services, Genesis Placements may invite you to consider additional roles, where you can apply, interview, confirm your interest, or take other actions related to a Job Listing.

4.3 Your Contact Information

When you give the Sites contact information (such as your name and email address) and other forms of Personal and Non-Personal Data, you agree that we may utilize this information for the purposes outlined in sections 4, 5 and 9, to the extent applicable by law. In particular, you agree that we may, as part of our services to you, communicate with you, or initiate communication with you on behalf of a third party, through your account or through other means such as email, telephone (including mobile phone), text message or postal mail. This includes communication through the use of contact information that you may provide to us or that we may otherwise obtain from third-party resources. Should you apply to a job that is supported by our Genesis Placements Hire product, a Hiring Specialist may use your contact information to conduct or coordinate interviews with you, and provide you with updates throughout the hiring process. We may also analyze our users’ contact information in the aggregate to better understand our users and improve our products and services.

4.4 Your Resume Information

By creating a public resume through the Site or uploading a file resume on the Site, you are requesting and authorizing Genesis Placements to make available your resume to third parties, such as Employers, that Genesis Placements believes may have an interest in your resume. If you do not want Genesis Placements to make available your resume to third parties or if you do not want Employers to contact you, set your resume to private, as detailed below.

If you have an Genesis Placements account, you agree that Genesis Placements may associate your resume data with information you provide on the Site in the “Profile” section of your account. 

We reserve the right to charge third parties a fee for accessing your information, including Personal Data, as part of the Sites’ services. At your direction, we may also send Your Resume to third parties if you choose to apply for a Job Listing, RSVP for an interview, or otherwise show interest in an Employer or Job Listing. Information in your Genesis Placements Profile, except as otherwise indicated on the Site, may be available to third parties, such as Employers. We may also use information in your Genesis Placements Profile to offer suggestions to you when you apply for jobs on third party websites in our mobile software. The extent to which your information is made available to third parties depends on the privacy settings you choose, in accordance with this Privacy Policy. When a Job Seeker creates a profile on Genesis Placements, their resume is set to public by default, and the Job Seeker may change their resume privacy settings at any time. This is detailed below.

– Private Resumes

Private resumes are only made available to those to whom the Job Seeker has submitted an application or provided their resume. Where this occurs, you make your resume, your name and other Personal Data that you place on your resume available to third parties. Those third parties may be interested in you as an employee, and may forward your resume to other third parties.

– Public Resumes

Public resumes may be available to anyone accessing our Site. This includes users of Genesis Placement’s Resume Search product, Employers whose Company Page you may be following, and anyone with access to the URL associated with your public resume, such as search engines and other third parties that may crawl our Site. We offer you this visibility to help you find a job. 

When your resume is public on our Site, you authorize Genesis Placements to share the contents of your resume, including your name and any other Personal Data that you may include in it, publicly on the Site.

Genesis Placements may also offer you the ability to include additional information in your Genesis Placements Profile about your desired job preferences, such as your desired job schedule and salary, your willingness to relocate, licenses, certifications, skills, and other information you choose to include about your job search. We use this information to help you find a job. Our Resume Search product allows Employers to find great candidates by searching public resumes. By posting a public resume, you authorize Genesis Placements to make the entirety of Your Resume available to any user who searches for you on our Sites, to associate your desired job preferences with Your Resume and share this information with Employers who search for resumes on our Sites, to share Your Resume with Employers who post Job Listings that may be a relevant match, and to allow employers to see if you were recently active on the Sites, your readiness to work, and your available contact methods. For example, Employers using Genesis Placement’s Resume Search product are able to search for candidates based upon the information in Your Resume and any of your desired job preferences associated with it. As another example, Employers may invite Job Seekers with public resumes to take action on their Job Listings when the resume is relevant to their hiring needs. If you do not want Genesis Placements to share this information with Employers, you can remove it from Your Resume and Genesis Placements Profile, or change your Resume Privacy Settings to private.

If you upload a file as your resume, you authorize Genesis Placements to extract the contents of this file and share them on our Site, including within our Resume Search product. 

We may remove your name and contact information from your public resume in certain instances, such as for users of our Resume Search product without a subscription. Employers who have subscribed to our Resume Search product will be able to see your name and any other contents of your public resume, except that we reserve the right to remove your contact information (such as your email and telephone number) until you express interest in an Employer. In either case, Employers may still contact you through our Site using our Relay Service. You also authorize Genesis Placements to share any file you upload as a public resume on our Site with Employers where you express interest in them by applying to a job or responding positively to an invitation to apply.

Genesis Placements expressly prohibits all scraping of its Site, although some third parties may use our Site in violation of these terms to obtain your public resume information.

Please note that Resume Search has not launched in all markets. If you are located in a market where Resume Search has not yet launched, setting your resume to public may make it available to anyone who visits the associated URL but it may not be searchable on our Site. Resumes set to public in markets where Resume Search is not yet available may become searchable upon our launch of Resume Search in that market.

Genesis Placements may also provide browser extensions and other tools to help Employers better interact with Job Seekers and their resume information, including tools that allow Employers to download your resume information and enhance and transfer it to third parties engaged to process information on their behalf, such as applicant tracking systems and other recruitment management tools. Employers are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws that relate to their use of information obtained from Genesis Placements and other sources, including any obligations Employers may have to restrict how others interact with resume information downloaded from our Site. Employers are also responsible for the activities of any third-party service provider they engage to facilitate their sourcing activities through the Genesis Placements Resume Search Program, such as an Applicant Tracking System.

– Changing Your Resume Privacy Settings

When you place Your Resume on Genesis Placements, it will be set to public by default. You may adjust this at any point by editing your privacy settings on Genesis Placements. Where you adjust Your Resume from public to private, Genesis Placements does not warrant how often third-party search engines will update their caches, which may continue to contain your resume information. Additionally, Employers who have saved your resume while it was public may continue to have access to your resume even after you have adjusted it to private.

Changes made to your resume privacy settings may take a few days to complete, during which time a resume set to public, for example, may remain visible to Employers and other users searching on Genesis Placements.

If you do not want Genesis Placements to make your Genesis Placements Profile available to third parties or if you do not want Employers to contact you, set your resume to private in your resume privacy settings or remove your resume. Your response to an Genesis Placements Assessment will be associated with your Genesis Placements Profile and is only made public at your request. If you take an Genesis Placements Assessment as part of an application, the results are only visible to the Employer who requested the assessment from you or Employers you choose to share your Genesis Placements Assessment score with on our Site.

– Resume Review Services

We may also offer additional resume review services to help Job Seekers build and improve their resumes. For example, this can include helping you understand how your resume may be parsed by applicant tracking system software, feedback on ways to build a more effective resume, or a personalized resume review video. In providing these services, Genesis Placements may give you feedback, including questions and comments on the contents of your resume, about Your Resume or other materials you submit through the services. We provide this feedback directly to you, and may give you the ability to access it within your account. It is not made available to Employers.

4.5 Matching Job Seekers With Employers

You acknowledge that Genesis Placements may determine whether the words of Your Resume or any other individual’s resume match, or match the words of certain job descriptions or Resume search queries and vice versa. Genesis Placements may use this information and other information collected pursuant to this Privacy Policy, such as your answers to screening questions and recent activity on the Sites, in order to improve the Sites or any of our other products or services. As one example, Genesis Placements may display or otherwise make available potentially relevant job descriptions and resumes to Job Seekers and Employers and differentiate between resumes and Job Listings that match and those that do not. As another example, Employers may instruct Genesis Placements to help manage their candidate pool according to their requirements and preferences for the Job Listing, which may include sending updates to Job Seekers based on Employer activity, so that Job Seekers better understand the status of their candidacy, or giving Employers the ability to sort and arrange their candidates for future reference.

Genesis Placements may also provide information collected pursuant to this Privacy Policy, including Personal Data, to Employers that may be interested in contacting you. By applying to a job, answering screening questions, providing your contact information to show interest in a Job Listing, confirming your interest in a job invitation, using Genesis Placements Hire, or by replying to a message from an Employer, such as by expressing your interest in a particular Job Listing, you agree to the disclosure of your information to that Employer. Genesis Placements may also use information provided in your Genesis Placements Profile to pre-populate application information for you and for similar purposes.

If you have an Genesis Placements Profile, you agree that we may contact you or suggest you or your public resume to Employers that might be interested in a person who matches your activity on Genesis Placements.

In addition, if you are located in the United States and you set Your Resume to public, this means that Genesis Placements may share all of the aforementioned information about you with recruiters working for or on behalf of Employers. If you do not wish to share such information, you may set Your Resume to private.

4.6 Optimizing Job Campaigns

When Job Seekers click on a Job Listing or apply for a job powered by Genesis Placements IQ on our Sites or on a third-party website, including an Employer’s website or a website operated by an Employer’s applicant tracking system, Genesis Placements may collect certain information through this feature about Job Seekers and any actions taken while on the Sites, as detailed in section 2 of this Privacy Policy. Genesis Placements uses this information to help us understand the effectiveness of our Sites and to ensure that Job Listings powered by Genesis Placements IQ perform at the optimal level on our Sites and on other third-party websites.

4.7 Sending Messages on Genesis Placements

Genesis Placements provides two-way message proxy and relay services to the users of our Genesis Placements products (“Relay Service”), including, but not limited to: Genesis Placements Resume, Genesis Placements Apply, Post a Job, Genesis Placements Chat, Genesis Placements Onboarding, Genesis Placements Text2Apply, private calling, and other electronic communication services whether in the form of phone, text, video or audio. By utilizing any Relay Service, you acknowledge that you are asking Genesis Placements to send these messages on your behalf. This includes your resumes, cover letters, applications, messages, questionnaire answers, responses, offer letters and other materials. Genesis Placements may provide read receipts to the sender of a message through a Relay Service indicating that the recipient has viewed the message. Genesis Placements may also separately inform the sender and recipient of a message through a Relay Service whether the sender or recipient recently has been active on the Site.

We process, monitor, review, store and analyze such content, which may include Personal Data, including via automated means, for data analysis, quality control, enforcement of the Sites’ rules and other Genesis Placements policies, content moderation, and to improve the Sites or any other Genesis Placements product or service. Examples of such improvements would be improving the open rate of messages by optimizing their delivery, optimizing our search results, improving Job Listings, permitting applicants to manage their applications after transmitting them to Genesis Placements, providing Job Seekers with the status of their application when instructed to by Employers, ensuring you are provided with personally relevant product features and communications, and preventing fraud and spam. Some of this activity is performed on Genesis Placement’s behalf by service providers, as described in section 4.17 of this Privacy Policy. As a result of this activity, or due to technical malfunction, in certain circumstances such content may be delayed or may not be delivered to the intended recipient. Genesis Placements may (but is not obligated to) notify you in such an event. By using a Relay Service or otherwise providing user content through the Site, you agree to this activity and acknowledge that this activity is necessary for maintaining the quality of the Sites and for providing the Relay Service.

4.8 Sending You Reminders About Employer Appointments

Genesis Placements may offer you the opportunity to receive a message or phone call from Genesis Placements when an Employer: has scheduled an interview or event with you, seeks to contact you based on your public resume, or has responded to your application via Genesis Placement’s email relay. In such an event you will enter your phone number on the Genesis Placements consent form. By entering your phone number you are representing and confirming it is your number and you have the right to accept messages and phone calls at the number. You also consent to receive messages and phone calls at said number, which will be sent to you by Genesis Placement’s third-party service provider. To unsubscribe to text messages, reply to the text with STOP or contact Us using our Contact Us Page. To unsubscribe to phone calls you should follow the instructions provided to you during the phone call. Replying STOP in response to an Genesis Placements SMS alert or unsubscribing during a phone call will unsubscribe you from all Genesis Placements SMS and call alerts except those related to Text2Apply and Hiring Events. In order to unsubscribe from those products, you must respond STOP within the specific text flows of those products.

4.9 Facilitating Telephone Relay System between Job Seekers and Employers

Where applicable, Genesis Placements may offer Job Seekers and Employers the option to use a telephone relay system to facilitate contact for the purpose of submitting applications, conducting job interviews or other communication related to a Job Listing. Such a system uses masked or proxy telephone numbers to protect users, and is only available to users who select it on the Site. No recording of conversations or messages is performed through this relay system, although data relating to whether a call was answered and call duration may be gathered. Such functionality is provided to Genesis Placements by third party service providers, such as Twilio.

4.10 Facilitating Text Messaging Relay Service between Job Seekers and Employers

Genesis Placements may offer Job Seekers and Employers the ability to utilize an auto dialed text messaging relay service to facilitate contact for the purpose of submitting applications and for other communications related to Job Listings. To use this service, a Job Seeker must text an Employer’s preset keyword to a telephone number or short code that we make available on our Sites or in advertising materials (such as a sign or flyer at an Employer’s place of business). By texting the preset keyword to the telephone number or short code, you are consenting to receive text messages about the Employer’s Job Listings and as part of the application process, and acknowledge Genesis Placements may use your Personal Data to submit your application to the Employer and otherwise in accordance with this Privacy Policy. To unsubscribe at any time from such services, reply STOP by text message to the telephone number or short code provided or contact Us. DUE TO THE UNSTRUCTURED CONVERSATIONAL FORMAT OF THIS SERVICE, WE MAY NOT RECOGNIZE OTHER UNSUBSCRIBE ATTEMPTS.

4.11 Preventing Fraud and Spam

Genesis Placements may also use information collected pursuant to this Privacy Policy to help diagnose problems with the Sites and our products and services, to prevent potentially fraudulent or illegal activities, and to protect individuals from other activities that may be detrimental to you or others. Genesis Placements may investigate and disclose information from or about you or your use of Genesis Placements if we have a good faith belief that such investigation or disclosure (a) is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process (including subpoenas, search warrants, court orders) and law enforcement instructions and orders; (b) is helpful to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the use of the Sites; (c) may protect our rights, reputation, property, safety, or that of the public; or (d) as necessary to meet national security requirements.

For example, Genesis Placements is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission in the United States, the Data Protection Commission of Ireland, and many other regulatory bodies.

We may use a variety of methods to detect and address anomalous activity and screen content to prevent abuse such as spam or fraud. However, such detection methods are not perfect and false positives may occur. These efforts may, on occasion, result in a temporary or permanent suspension or termination of some functions for some users.

– Preventing Fraud and Spam in Messages

Genesis Placements also reserves the right to drop messages from our relay system that we determine do not adhere to the Sites’ rules or any of the terms of our terms of service. Genesis Placements further reserves the right to conduct investigations to determine whether you are perpetrating a scam, spamming Genesis Placements or its users, or otherwise conducting fraudulent activity on the Sites by various means. Genesis Placements also reserves the right to turn over any information gathered via such investigations to the police or other third parties if we have a good faith belief that you are using the Sites in violation of this Privacy Policy or the applicable Terms of Service.

Genesis Placements reserves the right to verify and confirm the identity of any party associated with an email relay. This includes but is not limited to verifying that the email address on a Job Listing is associated with the Employer whose Job Listing it is.

4.12 Facilitating Payment

If you provide credit, debit or other payment card and related details to us in order to make a payment, we will use such information only for the purpose of processing the payment (e.g., the last four digits of credit card numbers and related verification information). Any credit, debit, or other payment card and related billing and payment information that you provide to us may be shared with companies who work on our behalf, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies, solely for the purposes of checking credit, effecting payment and servicing your account.

4.13 Automated Processing of Your Personal Data

In order to optimize the performance of the Sites, we perform automated processing of Personal Data evaluating specific aspects relating to a user. We use this automated processing to analyze and predict a user’s preferences and interests. Where we perform this processing, we do so either on the basis of user consent or performance of a contract, whereby such processing is necessary for us to provide our services to Job Seekers and Employers.

For example, in certain cases such processing allows us to match Job Seekers with Employers effectively, to provide Job Seekers with Job Alerts, recommended jobs, and invitations to take action on jobs that the Job Seeker is likely to be more interested in, to send particular Job Seeker applications to an Employer, to display search results, to send application status notifications on behalf of Employers, or to perform certain spam and fraud detection activities to protect our users. Such processing is subject to the safeguards detailed in this Privacy Policy to protect the privacy of our users. You may contact Us via our Contact Us Page to contest any decision generated by said automated processing.

4.14 Sharing Your Information with Our Affiliates

Our core mission is to help Job Seekers find great jobs, and Employers find great candidates, which is a mission we share with each of our affiliates. In order to support that mission, we share certain information with our affiliates. Such information sharing is governed by this Privacy Policy. We also developed the Privacy Center as a way of educating our users about our affiliates and how we share data with them to provide the strongest product and service offerings to our users. We encourage you to visit the Privacy Policy to learn more.

Information shared by you with Genesis Placements may be shared with an affiliated entity to provide you with services, to improve the Sites and optimize functionality on the Sites, and other purposes as described in this Policy. In particular, such sharing strengthens our ability to help Job Seekers find jobs and Employers find great candidates. The services provided to you and the functionality of the Sites could not be provided without such transfers. If you do not wish your information to be transferred in this way you should not use the Sites.

For the purposes of this Policy, “Affiliates” means any entity that directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control of or with an Genesis Placements entity, now or in the future. “Control” for these purposes means having a majority of shares or the right and ability to direct management. This includes Genesis Placements affiliated entities located outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or Switzerland.

Examples of our affiliates include: Glassdoor, SimplyHired, Naukri.com. Such data sharing with Genesis Placements affiliates will be performed for a number of specific reasons, such as to increase the number of jobs available to Job Seekers and resumes available to Employers, and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Privacy Policies of those affiliates.

– Improved Services

Data sharing with affiliates provides Job Seekers with more personalized and improved content, performance, features and services. For example, Genesis Placements and its affiliates use your previous search and browsing history (e.g. the jobs you click on), IP address, or Genesis Placements Profile information, to determine relevant search results, send Job Alerts and Invitations, display and moderate career insights, such as company reviews, Job Listing salary data, interview tips and more. Such sharing is also performed to facilitate improved data analysis, testing, research, and service improvement.

This sharing also allows Employers to have better insight into the performance of their Job Listings. For example, we may share data related to user clicks on their Job Listings which in turn allows Employers to understand the extent to which they are attracting candidates. By providing Employers with the information they need to better utilize our platform, they can provide stronger Job Listings.

– More Employers, More Job Listings and More Job Seekers

Such data sharing allows Job Seekers to access an even broader database of Job Listings and Employers, and for Employers to access more Job Seekers. For example, Genesis Placements can show you Job Listings that have been posted on our Affiliates’ websites or a Job Seeker from an Affiliate can be recommended as a candidate for an Affiliate’s Job Listing. Genesis Placements and its Affiliates also share Employer data (such as account information and behavioral data) to provide a better experience to those Employers.

Genesis Placements may process billing information on behalf of Affiliates. If you are using a chargeable service, Genesis Placements and its Affiliates may share billing information solely for the purposes of checking credit, effecting payment, and servicing your account. 

– Better Security for Users

Such data sharing allows Genesis Placements and our affiliates to process your Personal Data for the purpose of improving user security and internal operations, troubleshooting, and detecting and preventing fraud and spam.

4.15 Transfers of Information to Employers 

Genesis Placements sends Job Seeker Personal Data to Employers on the instruction of Job Seekers. Such transfers are performed in the course of the job search, application and interview process. This is further described in sections 2 and 4 of this Privacy Policy. Such Personal Data will be processed in accordance with these terms and those of the relevant Employer. Job Seekers that apply to jobs through Genesis Placements that are outside their own country may involve sending their Personal Data to countries with lower levels of data protection.

Employer account holders agree to comply with all their responsibilities under applicable data protection rules with respect to the collection, processing and storage of Personal Data, as well as providing adequate protection of all data subject rights provided for under all applicable data protection rules.

4.16 Transfers of Information to Job Seekers

Genesis Placements sends certain Employer-related information to Job Seekers. This includes publishing Job Ads, Company Pages, and salary information on the Sites and publishing Job Listings on third-party websites. Genesis Placements may also provide information to Job Seekers about an Employer’s activity and responsiveness on the Sites in order to help Job Seekers evaluate employment opportunities. This may include the Employer representative’s name, the Employer’s city/state location, whether the Employer has taken or has chosen not to take an action with regard to the Job Seeker’s resume or application such as opening, viewing, responding to or making a decision in regard to it, whether the Employer has engaged with other Job Seekers or viewed other Job Seekers’ resumes, and whether the Employer has taken an action in regard to a Job Listing such as pausing or closing it. As an Employer, when you use the Sites (for example by posting a Job Listing or contacting a Job Seeker through the Genesis Placements Resume Program) you agree that Genesis Placements may provide this information to Job Seekers.

4.17 Transfers of Information to Service Providers 

We may use third parties to perform services in connection with our operations, to improve the Sites and our services, products, and features, to protect our users and better understand their needs, and to optimize the services and the users’ experiences.

– Maintaining Quality and Protecting Users

Genesis Placements may transfer your Personal Data in limited situations to certain third-party vendors that assist Genesis Placements with protecting our users and maintaining the quality of our services, products and features provided to those users.

Examples of the types of technologies that may support this behavior include pixels, javascript snippets, or cookies.

– Storage

Please also be aware that we may also use third-party cloud service providers that provide hosting, data storage and other services pursuant to standard terms and conditions that may be non-negotiable. These service providers have informed us or the general public that they apply security measures they consider adequate for the protection of information within their system, or they have a general reputation for applying such measures. However, we will not be liable (to the fullest extent permitted by law) for any damages that may result from the misuse of any information, including Personal Data, by these companies.

– Verifying Professional Certifications and Licenses

We may also share certain professional certification or license numbers that you provide to Genesis Placements with the issuing entity or organization in order to verify the certification or license is valid. We only perform this verification at your request when, for example, you add certain certifications or licenses to your Genesis Placements Profile.

4.18 Transfers of Publicly Available Information

When users post content on the Sites in a manner that is intended to make that content publicly available and searchable by individuals, Genesis Placements reserves the right to aggregate and share that information with third parties. For example, if an Employer posts a job on the Sites, Genesis Placements may share that Job Listing or information contained within that Job Listing with third parties, at Genesis Placement’s discretion and subject to agreement with such third parties. Genesis Placements also reserves the right to share information aggregated from public sources in this capacity.

5. Additional Uses and Disclosures of Non-Personal Data

This policy also applies to our use of Non-Personal Data. We may use and disclose Non-Personal Data for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. If we combine any Non-Personal Data with Personal Data, then we will only use and disclose such combined information for the purposes described in sections 4 and 9 of this Privacy Policy while it is so combined.

6. Security

Genesis Placements seeks to use reasonable security measures to help protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the Personal Data under Genesis Placement’s control. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however.

Therefore, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its security.

Please also be aware that we may use third-party cloud service providers. 

7. Cookies

“Cookies” are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. Please see our Cookie Policy for further information regarding our use of Cookies.

– Do Not Track Requests

We do not respond to the browser “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal if enabled by the user in their web browser. When we set or read cookies on non-affiliated sites that have integrated our job search and display features, we do so, for example, to provide a personalized job search experience to users on those sites. We do not share any information about your use of our Sites with those third parties. When third parties that we have integrated into the Sites (as described in the Genesis Placements Cookie Policy) set or read their own third-party cookies, they may or may not respond to the DNT signal.

8. Links to Third-Party Sites

The Sites may make available links to other third-party websites. When you click on such links, you may leave our Sites.
