Privacy Policy

JobTarget is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users. Our Privacy Policy provides details on how JobTarget collects and uses your information and the choices you can make about your data.

Last Updated: March 28, 2024


JobTarget helps connect job seekers with employers. Our goal is to help you find the job you love or the employee you need. We do this through our various technologies, websites and applications. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes how JobTarget (“JobTarget,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) may collect, use, and disclose information in connection with the operation of our websites and applications, including but not limited to JobTarget.com, Click2Apply.net, FeeTrader.com, RecruitSite.com, RecruitSites.com, PostMyJob.com, and applications available through a third-party store (collectively, the “Website”). It also applies to information we collect through our service offerings (collectively with the Website, the “Services”) and information we collect offline, such as when you communicate with us in person.


This Policy does not apply to information we process as a data processor or service provider on behalf of our employer clients. JobTarget does not control how our employer clients use information JobTarget processes on their behalf, and you should consult with the applicable employer client to understand how they use information they receive from JobTarget.


By accessing or using the Services or otherwise providing us with information, you acknowledge the applicability of this Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not access or use the Services or provide us with information.

      b. Information from Affiliated and Non-Affiliated Parties

    We may collect information about you or others through our affiliates or through non-affiliated parties. For example, we may receive information about you from job sites operated by unaffiliated parties. We may also collect information about you from other users. For example, users may provide us with information about colleagues or other prospective users of our Services. We may receive information from third-party partners or other third-party data sources. This may include information in the public domain, such as publicly-available information in social media profiles.


    We may combine information that we collect from you through the Services with information that we obtain from such other parties and information derived from other products or Services we provide.

      c. Information We Collect Automatically

    Device/Usage Information. We and our third-party vendors, which include ad networks and analytics companies such as Google Analytics, may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to collect information about the computers or devices (including mobile devices) you use to access the Services. As described further below, we may collect and analyze information including but not limited to (a) browser type; (b) ISP or operating system; (c) domain name; (d) access time; (e) referring or exit pages; (f) page views; (g) IP address; (h) unique device identifiers (e.g. IDFA or Android ID); (i) version of our Services you’re using; and (j) the type of device that you use. We may also track when and how frequently you access or use the Services, including how you engage with or navigate our Website or mobile application. We use this information (including the information collected by our third-party vendors) for analytics (including to determine which portions of the Services are used most frequently and what our users like/do not like), to evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns, and as otherwise described in this Policy.


    Cookies and Other Electronic Technologies. We and our third-party vendors may use cookies, clear GIFs, pixel tags, and other technologies that help us better understand user behavior, personalize preferences, perform research and analytics, and improve the Services. These technologies, for example, may allow us to tailor the Services to your needs, save your password in password-protected areas, track the pages you visit, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage of our Services. We or our third-party vendors also may use certain of these technologies in emails to our customers to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded. These technologies may also be used when you (1) view a job on a job board or on our Services; (2) click on an apply link in an online job posting; (3) visit an employer’s online applicant tracking system; (4) create a Job Seeker account or request email job alerts; (5) submit a resume or application to an employer online; or (6) send a message using our system.


    Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but your browser may allow you to modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you disable cookies, you may be prevented from taking full advantage of the Services, because the Services may not function properly. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional information through other methods.


    Location Information. When you use the Services, we may collect general location information (such as general location inferred from an IP address).

    3. How We Use the Information We Collect

    We use your information for business and commercial purposes, such as to:

    • Provide you with the Services, such as to match Job Seekers with Employers and other employment opportunities;
    • Respond to your questions and inquiries, including to provide customer support and technical assistance;
    • Communicate with you, including to send you emails about our products and services;
    • Send service notices;
    • Process transactions with you;
    • Contact you regarding and administer surveys and sweepstakes;
    • Analyze and improve the Services or any other products and services we provide;
    • Verify your identity;
    • Comply with our legal obligations or as permitted by law;
    • Protect the safety and/or integrity of our users, employees, other parties, members of the public, and/or our Services;
    • Conduct analysis and develop insights that enable us to operate, protect, make informed decisions and report on our business;
    • Advertise to you and others;
    • Prevent fraud and enforce our legal terms; and
    • Administer and troubleshoot the Services.

    If you are a Job Seeker, we may also use your information to:

    • Create an account profile for you based on information we have collected about you that helps you connect with relevant job opportunities and to allow you to manage that profile;
    • Provide information about you to Employers or others looking to hire, including those who you may not have specifically submitted a job application to;
    • Provide your resume or other profile information that you have provided to job sites to employers through their Applicant Tracking Systems or other websites;
    • Deliver relevant job opportunities to you; and
    • Contact you regarding the status of your application or related to your job application.

    We may aggregate and/or de-identify information collected through the Services. We may use de-identified or aggregated information for any purpose, including without limitation for research and marketing purposes and may also disclose such information to any other parties, including without limitation, advertisers, promotional partners, sponsors, event promoters, and/or others.

    4. When We Disclose the Information We Collect

    We may disclose the information we collect in the following circumstances:


    Affiliates. We may disclose information to our corporate affiliates.


    Vendors. We provide access to or disclose your information to select vendors who perform services on our behalf. They provide a variety of services to us, including data storage, analytics, billing, marketing, product content and features, customer service, data storage, security, fraud prevention, and legal services.


    Safety and Protection of JobTarget and Others. We may share or disclose certain information if we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary or appropriate to (i) protect or defend the rights, safety, or property of JobTarget or third parties, including to defend or enforce this Policy, our Terms of Use, or any other contractual arrangement; and/or (ii) protect the rights, property or personal safety of JobTarget, its agents and affiliates, its employees, users and/or the public.


    Legal Requirements. We may share or disclose certain information if we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary or appropriate to comply with any law enforcement, legal, or regulatory process, such as to respond to a warrant, subpoena, court order, or other applicable laws and regulations.


    Business Transfers. We may share or disclose certain information, in connection with or during negotiations or closing of any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.


    Consent/At Your Direction. We may disclose your information to nonaffiliated third parties based on your consent to do so. For example, you may direct us to disclose information about you when you refer us or our Services to your colleagues or other acquaintances. If you register for an Account as a Job Seeker or apply for a job through the Services, we may share your information and Content with Employers or other entities managing the hiring of employees. Please review the Your Choices section for instructions on how to revoke such consent. If you are an Employer who uses the Services to post a job posting to a third-party job listing site, we may share your contact information with the operator of that site.


    5. Online Analytics and Tailored Advertising

    a. Analytics


    We may use third-party web analytics services on the Services, such as those of Google Analytics. These vendors use the sort of technology described in the “Information We Collect Automatically” section above to help us analyze how users use the Services, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The information collected by such technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these vendors, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services. We also use Google Analytics for certain purposes related to advertising, as described in the following section. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.


    b. Tailored Advertising


    We may also allow third-party advertising networks to place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about your use of the Services in order to (a) inform, optimize, and serve marketing content based on past visits to our Website and other sites and (b) report how our marketing content impressions and interactions with these marketing impressions are related to visits to our Website. We also allow other unaffiliated parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google Analytics) to serve tailored marketing to you and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services. Those parties that use these technologies may offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising as described below. You may receive tailored advertising on your computer through a web browser. Cookies may be associated with de-identified data linked to or derived from data you voluntarily have submitted to us (e.g., your email address) that we may share or disclose to a vendor in hashed, non-human-readable form.


    If you are interested in more information about tailored advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored marketing, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative's (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Link, the Digital Advertising Alliance's (“DAA”) Consumer Opt-Out Link, and/or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising or customize Google Display Network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page. Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive advertising content even if you opt out of tailored advertising. In that case, the advertising content may not be tailored to your interests. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms. If your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out pages, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer or change web browsers, your opt-out may no longer be effective.

    6. Your Choices

    a. Rights and Choices


    You have certain rights and choices with respect to your information such as:

    • Account Information: You can update certain of your information within your Account.
    • Marketing Communications: You can unsubscribe from marketing emails by following the directions in those emails. Please note that if you unsubscribe from marketing emails, we may still send you administrative or transactional emails regarding the Services, including, for example, notices of updates to our Terms of Use or this Policy or communications about an ongoing or agreed upon transaction.
    • Cookies & Analytics: You can opt out of certain cookie-related and analytics processing by following the instructions in this Policy.
    • Job Seeker Profiles: Job Seekers may opt-out of information being available on the Services at any time by logging into your Job Seeker Account and going to Settings or by contacting customer support at support@jobtarget.com. However, if a prospective employer or recruiter has already accessed your information or Content and copied or otherwise saved your information prior to you opting-out or deleting your information, they will continue to have access to the information previously saved.

    Your local law may provide you certain rights with respect to your information. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may request that we:

    • provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you;
    • prevent the processing of your information for direct-marketing purposes (including any direct marketing processing based on profiling);
    • update information which is out of date or incorrect;
    • delete certain information that we are holding about you;
    • restrict the way that we process and disclose certain of your information;
    • transfer your information to a third-party provider of services; and
    • revoke your consent for the processing of your information.

    Please note, however, that certain information may be exempt from such requests in some circumstances, which may include needing to continue processing your information for our legitimate interests or to comply with a legal obligation. If your information has been disclosed to an unaffiliated party at your direction, such as a job application submitted to an Employer, such information cannot be deleted or amended.


    IMPORTANT: Any information by which you can be personally identified, such as your name, physical address, e-mail address and/or phone number and/or other content that you voluntarily disclose to in connection with our Services may become available to the public and may be accessed, used and stored by others. You should not post sensitive personal information or any other information that you would not want made public.


    We may request you provide us with information necessary to confirm your identity before responding to your request. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us as described in the “Contact Us” section below.


    b. Regional Privacy Disclosures and Rights


    Additional disclosures for residents of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Nevada, California, and certain other U.S. states including Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut, are set forth below in Additional Regional Disclosures.

    7. Children’s Privacy

    The Services are not designed for minors under 18, and our Terms of Use prohibit use by anyone under 18. If we discover that an individual under 18 has provided us with “personal information,” as defined in the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), we will close the account and delete the personal information to the extent required by COPPA. We may, where permitted by law, retain certain information internally for purposes described in this Policy.

    8. Security

    JobTarget implements technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. Therefore, we do not promise and cannot guarantee the security of your information or communications.

    9. Data Retention

    We keep your information for the time necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The length of time for which we retain information depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it and your choices, after which time we may delete and/or aggregate it. We may also retain and use this information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

    10. International Transfer of Personal Information/Data Privacy Framework


    Our services are global and your information may be stored and processed in the United States and other countries outside the United States that may have data protection laws that differ from the laws in your country. For example, our employees and contractors may access your information from the United States or the Philippines and data may be accessible to law enforcement and national security authorities under certain circumstances. By using the Services, or providing us with any information, you consent to the collection, processing, maintenance, and transfer of such information in and to the United States and other applicable countries in which the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as, or equivalent to, those in the country where you reside and/or are a citizen.


    European Union-United States Data Privacy Framework (“EU-US DPF”), The United Kingdom Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-United States DPF: JobTarget complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) (collectively, “DPF”) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. JobTarget has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (EU-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and from the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar) in reliance on the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF. JobTarget has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-U.S. DPF. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.


    As required under the principles, when JobTarget receives personal data under the DPF and then transfers it to a third-party service provider acting as an agent on our behalf, we have certain liability under the DPF if both (i) the agent processes the information in a manner inconsistent with the DPF Principles; and (ii) JobTarget is responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.


    Some international users (including those whose information we collect under the DPF) of our Services have certain legal rights. Please see the Your Choices section above for more information.


    Dispute Resolution for European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Swiss Residents: If you are a resident of the European Economic Area Union, United Kingdom, or Switzerland and are dissatisfied with the manner in which we have addressed your concerns for personal data covered by the DPF, you may seek further assistance, at no cost to you, from our designated DPF independent recourse mechanism, Privacy Trust, which you can learn more about by visiting here. Residents of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland may elect to arbitrate unresolved complaints but prior to initiating such arbitration, you must: (1) afford us the opportunity to resolve the issue; (2) seek assistance via JobTarget’s recourse mechanism above; and (3) contact the U.S. Department of Commerce (either directly or through a European Data Protection Authority) and afford the Department of Commerce time to attempt to resolve the issue. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney’s fees. Please be advised that, pursuant to the DPF, the arbitrator(s) may only impose individual-specific, non-monetary, equitable relief necessary to remedy any violation of the DPF with respect to the individual. JobTarget is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

    11. Third-Party Links

    The Services may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the content or practices of those websites or services. The collection, use, and disclosure of your information by third parties will be subject to the privacy policies of the third-party websites or services, and not this Policy. We urge you to read the privacy and security policies of these third parties before providing information to them.

    12. Additional Regional Disclosures

    a. Residents of the European Economic Area and United Kingdom


    JobTarget is considered the “data controller” of the “personal data” (as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”)) we handle under this Policy. In other words, JobTarget is responsible for deciding how to collect, use and disclose this personal data as specified in this Policy, subject to applicable law. The laws of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom require data controllers to tell you about the legal ground that they rely on for using, sharing, or disclosing of your personal data. To the extent those laws apply, our legal grounds are as follows:

    • Contractual Commitments: We may use, share, or disclose personal data to honor our contractual commitments to you. For example, we will process your personal data to comply with our agreements with you, and to honor our commitments in any contracts that we have with you.
    • With Your Consent: Where required by law, and in some other cases, we use, share, or disclose personal data on the basis of your consent.
    • Legitimate Interests: In many cases, we use, share, or disclose personal data on the ground that it furthers our legitimate business interests in ways that are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected individuals, such as customer service, certain promotional activities, analyzing and improving our business, providing security for the Services, preventing fraud, and managing legal issues.
    • Legal Obligation: We need to use, share, and disclose personal data in certain ways to comply with our legal obligations.

    Where JobTarget acts as a “processor” of the “personal data” (as defined under the GDPR), JobTarget retains such personal data until the controller instructs JobTarget to delete it. In addition to the rights described herein, you have the right to submit a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. However, we encourage you to contact us first, and we will do our very best to resolve your concern.


    b. Residents of Nevada


    If you are a resident of Nevada, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of certain personal information to unaffiliated parties. You can exercise this right by contacting us as described in the “Contact Us” section below with the subject line “Nevada Do Not Sell Request” and providing us with your name and the email address. We do not currently sell your personal information as sales are defined in Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A.


    c. Residents of California


    The following information applies to California residents regarding “personal information” (as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”)). This information and the rights discussed below do not apply to information collected about JobTarget employees, former employees, candidates, or independent contractors. In this section, where we use a term in “quotes,” we refer to the meaning of that term in the CCPA.


    i. Categories of personal information we collect, use and disclose


    Throughout this Policy, we discuss in detail the specific pieces of personal information and sensitive personal information we collect, the sources of that information, and how we disclose it. Under the CCPA, we also have to provide you with the "categories" of personal information and sensitive personal information we collect and disclose for “business or commercial purposes” (as those terms are defined by the CCPA).


    As described further in the Policy above, the following table provides information about our practices in the 12 months leading up to the effective date of this Policy in relation to the categories of personal information that we generally collect from California and Colorado residents, the purposes for which we use the information, and the categories of other parties to whom we disclose personal information for a business purpose.

    Employers (such as for Job Seekers applying for a job)




    Some of the personal information we collect that falls under the categories listed above is “sensitive personal information,” as that term is defined in the CCPA, including the following:

    • Account log-in and password or other credentials allowing access to your JobTarget Account. We collect this information in our capacity as a “business” under the CCPA for purposes such as administering your account and security.
    • Protected classifications such as race/ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health data and sexual orientation. We collect such information in our capacity as a “service provider” under the CCPA when Employers request that you provide this information in job applications. We do not control what information Job Seekers may include in their communications with us, their profile, or their application materials. We do not want, and do not seek to, collect protected classification information in these ways. However, if we incidentally collect any such information, we will treat it in accordance with this Policy.

    ii. “Sale” and “sharing” of personal information


    The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that “sell” or “share” personal information.


    We may disclose your personal information to third parties for purposes of analytics and advertising. We provide information to analytics providers to better understand how consumers use the Services so we can improve the Services and create new products and services. We may also provide personal information to third-party advertising providers for targeted advertising purposes, so we can provide you with more relevant and tailored ads regarding our services. Under the CCPA, disclosing personal information to these third parties may be considered a “sale” of personal information or the “sharing” of personal information for purposes of “cross-context behavioral advertising.”


    In providing the Services, we may disclose certain personal information, such as to connect Job Seekers and Employers. Under the CCPA and some other U.S. state laws, in some contexts, this may be considered a “sale” of personal information.


    The following chart lists the categories of personal information we have sold or shared over the last 12 months, and the categories of third parties to whom we have sold or shared such personal information.


    Category of Personal Information Categories of Third Parties to Which We Have “Sold” this Personal Information Categories of Third Parties to Which We Have “Shared” this Personal Information
    Identifiers Ad networks and advertising providers
    Analytics providers
    Employers
    Ad networks and advertising providers
    Commercial Information Ad networks and advertising providers

    Internet network and device activity data Ad networks and advertising providers

    Ad networks and advertising providers
    Protected classification information Employers We do not “share”
    Education and employment information Employers We do not “share”

    We do not knowingly “sell” or “share” the personal information of children under 16.


    You can opt out of our “sales” or “sharing” of your personal information by following the instructions below.


    iii. Your CCPA Rights


    If you are a California resident, the CCPA may permit you to request that we:

    • Provide you the categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting, “selling,” or “sharing” your personal information; the categories of third parties to whom we disclose or “sell,” or with whom we “share,” personal information; and the categories of personal information we “sell” or “share” (much of which is provided above).
    • Provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you.
    • Delete certain information we have about you.
    • Correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you.

    You may have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you, if any. You also have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising certain of your rights.


    Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. We need certain types of information so that we can provide the Services to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use the Services. To exercise these rights, you will be required to verify your identity, and we may request additional information from you to verify your identity. To exercise your rights, please submit your request here or you may also call us at 1-888-868-8652.


    You also have the right to opt out of “sales” and “sharing” of personal information. Please submit your request here.


    Please note that we also respond to and abide by opt-out preference signals sent through the Global Privacy Control. Any opt out preferences you have exercised through these methods will only apply to the specific device/browser on which you made them. For more information on how to use the Global Privacy Control, see www.globalprivacycontrol.org.


    The CCPA also allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your “sensitive personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) if your “sensitive personal information” is used for certain purposes. Please note that we do not use or disclose “sensitive personal information” other than for purposes for which you cannot exercise the right to limit under the CCPA.


    You can also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To do so, you must provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf. You will still need to verify your identity directly with us.


    iv. Retention of Your Personal Information


    Please see the section above on Data Retention.


    v. Do-Not-Track


    We do not respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working on Do Not Track standards, implementations, and solutions. Please note that Do Not Track is a different privacy mechanism than the Global Privacy Control browser choice referenced above.


    vi. Shine the Light


    Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents may request certain information regarding our disclosure of your information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. JobTarget does not disclose your information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.


    d. Residents of Other U.S. States


    Residents of certain other states, such as Virginia, Colorado and Connecticut may have certain rights regarding their personal information or personal data, as defined in these states’ laws (collectively, “personal information”).


    Residents of Colorado may click here to view more information regarding each category of personal information we process (including sensitive data (called “sensitive personal information” above)), the purposes for which we process each category and the categories of entities to whom the personal information is disclosed. Residents of Colorado may click here to view more information about the categories of personal information that are “sold” (as defined in Colorado law) or used for “targeted advertising” (as defined in Colorado law, defined as “sharing” by the CCPA). Please note that we do not engage in profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.


    Your State law may permit you to request that we:

    • Confirm whether or not we are processing your personal information and provide you with access such personal information;
    • Correct inaccuracies in your personal information, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing of the personal information;
    • Delete your personal information;
    • Provide you a copy of personal information that you previously provided to us in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the data to another business, where our processing is carried out by automated means; and
    • Opt you out of the processing of the personal information for purposes of targeted advertising, the sale of personal information, or profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you (as described below).

    Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. We need certain types of information so that we can provide the Services to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use the Services.


    To exercise these rights, you will be required to verify your identity, and we may request additional information from you to verify your identity. To exercise your rights, please submit your request here.


    You also have the right to opt out of the “sale” or processing of your personal information for purposes of “targeted advertising,” as defined in applicable law. Click here for more information about the categories of personal information that are used for “targeted advertising” (also called “sharing” in some states). Click here to opt out of our “sale” of your personal information or use of personal information for “targeted advertising.”


    Applicable law may also permit you to appeal any denials of your rights requests; to do so, contact us at privacy@jobtarget.com and describe in detail why you believe the denial was in error. Your description must include your full name and the email address used for your account with us, along with a copy of the denial notice you received from us.
