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 Indeed entity, now or in the future. “Control” for these purposes means having a majority of shares or the right and ability to direct management.

Examples of our affiliates and affiliated websites include: Indeed, Glassdoor, Simply Hired, Syft/Indeed Flex, Resume.com, Workopolis, Wowjobs.com, RescueMyResumes.com and Resumeperfector.com.

Such data sharing with our affiliates will be performed for a number of specific reasons.

– Improved Services

It provides job seekers with more personalized and improved content, performance, features and services on EngineerJobs and our affiliates’ sites. For example, we and our affiliates use your previous search and browsing history (e.g. the jobs you click on), IP address, or email address, to determine relevant search results, job alerts, 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.

It also allows employers to have better insight into the performance of their job postings. For example, we may share data related to user clicks on their job postings which in turn allows them to understand how their job posting may or may not be achieving their goal of attracting candidates. By providing employers with the information they need to better utilize our platform, they can provide stronger job postings.

– 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, this allows us to recommend jobs or employers on EngineerJobs or on websites of our affiliates. It also facilitates the display of job listings from the websites of our affiliates’ to EngineerJob and applications to them.

We and our affiliates are able to recommend job seekers (and their resumes or resume extracts) to an employer hosted by us or an affiliate.  Equally, we and our affiliates are able to recommend job listings hosted by us or by an affiliate to job seekers visiting EngineerJobs and websites of our affiliates. We and our affiliates can also share employer data (such as account information and behavioral data) to provide a better experience to those employers.

– Better Security for Users

Such data sharing allows us 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.

In order to optimize the performance of EngineerJobs and services for users, we perform automated processing of Personal Data evaluating certain specific aspects relating to a user, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning a user’s personal preferences or interests in terms of EngineerJobs and services. Where it occurs, such processing is carried out if it is necessary for the performance of our agreement with our users, to allow us to provide our services to our users, or in other cases on the basis of a user’s consent.

For example, in certain cases such processing allows us to match job seekers with employers effectively, to provide job seekers with job alerts and recommended jobs that the job seeker is likely to be more interested in, to display search results, 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, and you may contact engineerjobs-privacy@rgf-ohr.com to contest any decision generated by said automated processing.

We cover these topics more expansively in our Privacy Policy: section 2 explains the categories of Personal Data we collect; sections 4, 5, and 9 explain the purposes for which we use your Personal Data; and sections 4, 8, 9 and 11 explain our disclosure of your Personal Data to third parties.

13.2 The Right to Opt-out of the Sale of Your Personal Data

To learn more about EngineerJobs’s approach to California’s “Do not sell my personal information” requirement, why it applies to your use of our Site, and how you can exercise this right, please go to https://www.engineerjobs.com/about/ccpa. There, we explain how California has defined as “sales” under the CCPA certain transfers of Personal Data between EngineerJobs and its affiliates that are integral to the products and services we offer to our users. We do not “sell” your Personal Data in the traditional sense. More information on EngineerJobs’s affiliates and our inter-affiliate transfers can be found in our Privacy Center at https://hrtechprivacy.com/.

Under California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code section 1798.83), California residents have certain rights regarding the disclosure of their Personal Data to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. EngineerJobs’s policy is not to disclose your Personal Data to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes if you have exercised your option to prevent that information from being disclosed to third parties for those purposes. If you wish to not have your personal information shared for those purposes, you may request that we delete your Personal Data by following the steps outlined in Section 10 of this Privacy Policy.

13.3 The Right to Non-Discrimination for Exercising Your Privacy Rights

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA.
