Our Data Collection Practices
We gather information you provide like your name, employment background, and contact details to refine our services. Your behavior on our platform, including pages visited and actions taken, is also tracked. This interaction data is sometimes supplemented with insights from external providers to customize your user experience. We prioritize your privacy by anonymizing or aggregating your data where possible, ensuring it can’t be linked back to you. We then use this anonymized information for internal research, analytics, and other business purposes.
Use of Aggregated Information and Service Obligations
We sometimes collect "Aggregated Data" which includes anonymized demographic or statistical details derived from personal information. This type of data helps us analyze usage patterns but cannot identify any specific user. For instance, we might use it to understand how many people interact with a given tool or page. If personal details are required to fulfill legal or contractual responsibilities and you choose not to provide them, we may be unable to offer the requested service. In such cases, cancellation of the service may occur, and your continued use implies agreement with this possibility.
Our Approach to Data Collection
How We Use Your Personal Information
Your personal data is vital for several key purposes:
If we wish to use your data in new ways, we’ll inform you and offer the option to limit such use, though it may restrict some services.
How We Share Your Information
For business and operational needs, we may share your information with third-party service providers, affiliates, potential employers, legal entities, and other relevant parties. Each third-party recipient is responsible for managing your information in accordance with their own privacy policies. We may also disclose your data to fulfill legal requirements, protect our rights, or safeguard our users. Furthermore, in the case of a business transaction like a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred as part of the process.
Your Data Rights and How to Exercise Them
Depending on your location, you may have the ability to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Additionally, you might be able to opt-out of certain uses of your data. These rights may differ depending on local laws and may have specific exceptions. To make a request, please reach out to us at connect@searchurneeds.com, and we will handle your request promptly, in line with the relevant legal guidelines.
Third-Party Websites and Links
Our platform may contain links to third-party websites or services. These external sites operate under their own privacy policies, which we cannot control. While we do our best to link to reputable sites that prioritize user privacy, we cannot take responsibility for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these sites before interacting with them.
Data Security and Retention
Our security protocol is designed to prevent unauthorized access, modification, or destruction of your personal data. This includes a combination of technical, administrative, and physical protections. While we strive to ensure data security, no system is foolproof, and we cannot guarantee complete protection of your personal data. We will retain your data as long as necessary to deliver services, meet legal requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce contracts. In some instances, archived copies may be retained for a short period.
Privacy Policy Changes
We may periodically revise our Privacy Policy to reflect updates in our practices, legal requirements, or other factors. When changes occur, the updated policy will be posted on our platform. We recommend reviewing the policy regularly to stay informed about your privacy rights and our practices.
California Consumer Privacy Rights
California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which includes the ability to access, delete, and opt-out of the sale of your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at connect@searchurneeds.com.
