Who is information shared with?
Public Information:
JobFile may share; as it sees fit; information that you voluntarily make public, including information that you post on any blogs, message boards, chat rooms or other similar forums, whether or not such forums are owned by JobFile. Since such public information can be accessed by the public and used by any member of the public, such use by third parties is beyond the control of JobFile.
Personal Information:
If we have your express consent, JobFile may share your personal information that it collects with business partners, and other third parties that are not affiliated with JobFile. While JobFile is not responsible for the acts of such partners, we encourage all of our partners to adopt privacy policies that protect against the disclosure of personal information to third persons.
JobFile may disclose your personal information without asking for your consent in order to protect the legal rights of JobFile or its affiliates, and each of their respective investors, directors, officers, employees, agents, and suppliers; to protect the safety and security of users of the JobFile Services or to enforce our Terms of Use; to protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or to comply with or respond to the law or legal process or a request for cooperation by a government entity, whether or not legally required. If you notify us that you believe your legal rights have been violated by JobFile or another user of the JF Service, we may provide the information that you provide to us to others to the extent that we believe it is necessary to evaluate and respond to your complaint. For instance, if you submit a notice of copyright infringement to us, we may send a copy to the person or entity who uploaded, stored, or transmitted the material addressed by the communication.
Also, in order to provide goods or services that you have requested or to complete a transaction at your request, JobFile may share your personal information with its third party service providers, including companies that assist with payment processing, business analytics, data processing, account management, and other services. We require these companies to agree that they will only use personal information about you that they have obtained from us to provide us with specific services that we have requested and not for any other purpose.
Non-Personal Information and Aggregate Data:
JobFile may share with third parties your non-personal information and related aggregated data. For example, JobFile may share IP addresses of its users to provide anonymous aggregated data to business partners about the volume of use on the JobFile Services and the specific JobFile Services in which users are most interested. Because this form of data does not identify particular users, these third parties will not be able to contact you based solely on this data.
Change of Control:
If JobFile sells all or part of its business, or makes a sale or transfer of assets, or is otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, JobFile may transfer your personal information and non-personal information to one or more third parties as part of such transaction.
How can you control the information we collect, use and share?
You have the choice about whether to disclose your personal information or other information about yourself to JobFile. Regardless of your choices with respect to promotional communications and updates regarding content, JobFile may send you administrative messages, service announcements, terms and conditions of your account, or other similar communications, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them. Please note that, if you cancel your account, JobFile will retain information about you but will discontinue posting such information on the JobFile Website.
How is the information protected?
Your JobFile account is secured by a user-created password, in which case reasonable precautions are taken to ensure that your account information is kept private. You are responsible for keeping your passwords confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. JobFile uses reasonable measures to protect your information stored within our databases, and we restrict access to such information to those employees who need access to perform their job functions. Any payment transactions will be PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliant and do not store your card details directly but use trusted third party industry standard solutions to offer you the highest possible protection. Despite these efforts, please note that we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of your information. Unauthorised entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of your information at any time.

In order to ensure that you are familiar with our most updated policies and practices, please check the effective date indicated above each time you use JobFile. If we make any changes, we will notify you of such changes by posting the updated privacy policy on the JobFile Website. You will be bound by any such changes to the policy when you use JobFile after those changes have been posted.
