EmployD Privacy Policy

The Privacy Policy describes the data protection practices of Impact Analytics, Inc. and its affiliated companies (together referred to as "EmployD" "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy applies to all websites and mobile applications owned and operated by us that link to this Privacy Policy, and related online and offline services (collectively, the "Services").

EmployD is a provider of cloud-based software services that help connect businesses ("Employers") looking to hire for employment positions with our network of job seekers ("Seekers"). When applicable we have made distinctions in these sections between Seekers and Employers to be transparent about the different situations in which we may collect, use, or share personal information.

When we handle information about Seekers who use our Services to fill out job applications or onboarding documents/forms for specific Employers or otherwise communicate directly with Employers ("Employer Direct Engagement"), we do so on behalf of the Employers as a service provider or processor. Employers determine how to engage with Seekers through our Services and thus act as the business that determines the purposes and means of handling Seeker data in relation to Employer Direct Engagements. In those circumstances, Seekers are ultimately subject to the privacy policies of the Employers with which they interact, and they should read those policies carefully. EmployD is not responsible for the privacy practices of Employers. EmployD acts as the business and not a service provider when Seekers build profiles and use related services.

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE HANDLE YOUR INFORMATION. By using EmployD Services, you are expressly and voluntarily accepting the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use that allow us to process information about you.

3. Cookies and Online Analytics

We use a variety of online tracking and analytics tools (e.g., cookies, flash cookies, and pixel tags) to collect and analyze information as you use the Services. Among other things, these technologies allow us to offer you a more tailored experience in the future, by understanding and remembering your particular browsing and usage preferences.

We may also use third-party web analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics, Coremetrics, Mixpanel, and Segment) on our Services to collect and analyze information collected through these technologies to assist us in auditing, research, or reporting; fraud prevention; and providing certain features to you. The types of tracking and analytics tools we and our service providers use for these purposes are:

"Cookies" are small data files stored on your computer or device to collect information about your use of the Services. Cookies may enable us to recognize you as the same user who used our Services in the past, and relate your use of the Services to other information we have about you. Cookies may also be used to enhance your experience on the Services (for example, by storing your username) and/or to collect general usage and aggregated statistical information. Most browsers can be set to detect cookies and give you an opportunity to reject them, but refusing cookies may, in some cases, limit your use of our Services or features. Learn more about the use of cookies, including how to manage or delete them. Please note that by blocking, disabling, or managing any or all cookies, you may not have access to certain features or offerings of the Services.
"Local shared objects," or "flash cookies," may be stored on your computer or device using a media player or other software. Local shared objects operate much like cookies, but cannot be managed in the same way. Depending on how local shared objects are enabled on your computer or device, you may be able to manage them using software settings. For information on managing flash cookies, for example, click here.
"pixel tag" (also known as a "clear GIF" or "web beacon") is a tiny image – typically just one-pixel – that can be placed on a web page or in our electronic communications to you in order to help us measure the effectiveness of our content by, for example, counting the number of individuals who visit us online or verifying whether you've opened one of our emails or seen one of our web pages.
Do Not Track. Do Not Track ("DNT") is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our website for online advertising and analytics purposes, and that is why we provide the variety of opt-out mechanisms listed above. However, we do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. Learn more about Do Not Track.
