COMPANY HOME

We at Talent Point understand your need to maintain your privacy when searching for a job. Talent Point is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. We want to provide a safe, secure user experience. We will use our best efforts to ensure that the information you submit to us is used only for the purposes as set forth herein.

In general, we gather information about all of our users collectively, such as what areas users visit most frequently. We only use such data anonymously and in the aggregate. This information helps us to determine what is most beneficial for our users, and how we can continually create a better overall experience for you. We may share this information with third parties, but only in the aggregate, so that they too may understand how Talent Point visitors use our site, so they may create a better overall experience for you as well.

Talent Point collects personally identifiable information from users when you register at TalentPoint.net as well as all communication between you and Talent Point. We may also ask you for other information, such as information on your interests, your likes and dislikes regarding the site, the types of jobs you are interested in, etc., in an effort to deliver to you the best possible site experience. Personal Information is also collected by Talent Point specifically by requesting it from you.

If you give us permission, we may use that information to contact you about new site feature announcements, enhancements, opportunities and general updates. Talent Point also provides you with the opportunity to opt-out of these types of communications. If you choose to receive these types of communications at the time of registration, but later decide you no longer want to receive them, simply follow the instructions in the e-mail to opt-out.

We collect an IP address from all visitors to our site. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our site. Your IP address is also used to help identify you when you visit our site.

Except as described in this privacy policy, we do not disclose your personal information including your individual visits to our Web site, or personal information that you provide, such as your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card number, personal references, etc., to any outside parties, except when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to (i) comply with law, (ii) enforce or apply the terms of any of our user agreements (iii) protect the rights, property or safety of Talent Point, our users, or others or (iv) with your express permission regarding an employment opportunity. But, we may record and share aggregated information with our partners, member companies and job seekers. Also, if you input your information on a co-branded page, then your information becomes the property of both Talent Point and the co-sponsor of the page. In that instance, the use of your personal information by our partner company will be subject to the privacy policy of that company and Talent Point is not responsible for their use of your personal information.

We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include hosting our web servers, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. These other companies may have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their functions, but they may not share that information with any third party.

Since Talent Point is a career site, we give you the option of putting your dossier in our database. There are three ways of doing this:

1. You can store your dossier in our database, but not be contacted about job opportunities, by changing your preferences according to your desires.
2. If you allow your resume to be searchable, then those individuals or entities that pay for access to our resume database and all prospective employers who are receiving a demonstration of our product will have access to your resume. These employers have the ability to distribute your resume to their own hiring systems via e-mail.
It is our intention that only Talent Point employees and will have access to the our database, but we cannot guarantee that other parties will not, without our consent, gain access to some information in the database. An example of how personal information could be leaked is as follows; you may authorize Talent Point to submit your dossier to a prospective employer. That employer, could forward your dossier to other persons outside their company for reasons unknown. Very few individuals will have full access to this database, and everyone who has any access to the database is fully aware of Talent Point’s privacy policy and intentional disregard for our member’s privacy will be dealt with severely including potentially termination of employment. You may remove your dossier from our database at any time. We are not responsible for the retention, use, or privacy of dossiers in these instances, or for the use or privacy of resumes by any of such parties while resumes are in the database.

Agencies, headhunters, employers and third party staffing agencies have the ability to post jobs on our site, but they are not given access to our resume database. Please note that once you submit your resume to an agency, headhunter or third party staffing agency, Talent Point and its affiliates disclaim all liability for distribution of resume data.

Talent Point allows you to change, correct or remove your personal information at any time. To do so, simply log into Talent Point, go to your account profile, and you will find options for editing the information you have submitted including your preferences.

In the event Talent Point goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified via email and a prominent notice on our Web site for 30 days prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result of the business transition, the users’ personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection they will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes section.

If we decide to change our privacy commitment for Talent Point, we will post those changes here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone. If, at any time, you have questions or concerns about Talent Point's privacy commitment, please feel free to email us at privacy@talentpoint.net or call 1-713-467-8232 and speak to one of our account managers.
