Privacy and Policy
Selfpre Privacy and Policy:
Built on the foundation of
increasing workplace transparency, Selfpre offers millions of the latest job listings, combined with a growing
database of company reviews, CEO approval ratings, salary reports, interview reviews,
presentation reviews and questions, benefits reviews, office photos and more.
Unlike other job sites, all of this information is shared by those who know a
company best — the employees. In turn, job seekers on Selfpre are
well-researched and more informed about the jobs and companies they apply to
and consider joining. This is why thousands of employers across all industries
and sizes turn to Selfpre to help them recruit and hire quality candidates at scale who stay longer. Selfpre
is available anywhere via its mobile apps.
Selfpre Privacy and Cookie Policy
Revised February 01, 2022.
We, Selfpre, explain in
this Privacy and Cookie Policy (the “Policy”) how we collect, process and/or
use information that we receive via our websites, emails we send, and mobile
applications (collectively, the “Platform”) that link to this Policy, as
amended from time to time. This Policy describes how Selfpre collects,
processes, uses, shares and secures the personal information you provide. It
also describes your choices regarding use, access, and correction of your
personal information. For purposes of this Policy, personal information shall
mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Unless we specify otherwise,
this Policy applies only to information we collect, process and use through the
Platform. This Policy does not apply to information that we collect through
other channels, such as information that we collect offline, from other
websites or from emails you send us, unless we notify you at the time of
collection that this privacy policy applies.
For the purposes of this
Policy, “Selfpre,” “we,” or “us” shall mean the following entities:
- Selfpre, Inc., a FBR corporation.
Information We Collect
We collect information
about you to provide our services. In order for us to best provide our services
to you (and to help make it feasible for us to do so), it is essential that we
are able to collect and use the information as described in this Policy. If you
are a registered user of the Platform the data collection is largely necessary
for fulfilling our contractual obligations towards you and, where neither of
those is the case, alternative legal grounds serve as our legal basis for
processing (i.e., consent, legal obligation, and legitimate interests—see
details below).
Information You Give Us
When you fill out
registration forms, submit your resume, or provide us with other personal
information actively, we collect that information for processing and use in
accordance with this Policy. Because we change our offerings and features from
time to time, the options you have to provide us with personal information also
may change, but here are some examples of situations in which you will have the
opportunity to provide personal information to us:
- Creating an account
- Signing up for email alerts
- Completing a form related to one of our products or
services
- Uploading a CV
- Uploading a presentation or documents
- Completing your Profile or preferences
- Sending messages through Selfpre
- Contacting us for technical support or customer
service.
Depending on how you
interact with our Platform, the personal information we collect from you may
vary. For example, to create an account we may ask only for an email address
and password. In other circumstances, such as when you complete a form related
to a particular service offering, we may ask you to provide other information,
which may include your name, phone number, and/or postal address. We also
collect and store certain information associated with actions you take. For
example, when you search for jobs, we store the titles, locations and general
salary range (if available) of jobs you search for and click on. We also store
information about the job postings that you apply to, the time and duration of
your activity on our Platform, and other information about your behavior on our
Platform. Because much of this information is necessary for us to provide you
with our service, if you don’t share this information, you may not be able to
use some features of the Selfpre platform.
If you connect to the
Platform using Facebook, Google+, or another social networking site (each a
“Social Networking Site”), we will receive information that you authorize the
Social Networking Site to share with us, which may include public profile
information, birthday, current city work, school, and email address. When we
receive this information, it becomes Selfpre account information for purposes
of your use of the Platform. This information also constitutes personal
information and is therefore subject to this Policy. Any information that we
collect from your Social Networking Site account may depend on the privacy
settings you have set with the Social Networking Site, so please consult the
Social Networking Site’s privacy and data practices. You have the ability to
disconnect your Social Networking Site account from your Selfpre account by
adapting the privacy settings in your Social Networking Site account. If you
come to the Platform through a Social Networking Site, from other websites or
with devices that enable third parties to collect information from or about
you, such third parties receive information about you subject to their privacy
policies.
On certain Selfpre domains,
when you set up an individual user account on the Platform, you may create a
profile (a “Profile”) that will include personal information you provide. At
your request, we will create your Profile with information we extract from a
resume you have uploaded on the Platform. When you fill out and save your
Profile, your saved Profile can be viewed by prospective employers, subject to
visibility settings you control. (For example, when you apply to certain Easy
Apply jobs posted by a Selfpre employer client, we may share a static image of
your saved Profile with that employer in connection with your application).
Because your anonymity on our Platform is important, your Profile does not
include information you submit to the Platform anonymously (for example, the
reviews, salaries, benefits, and company ratings information you submit
anonymously).
We may host an Easy Apply
application that asks for relevant information generally considered sensitive
(such as a driver’s license number for truck driver job, or a government-issued
identification number for a government job). Some applications may ask you to
identify your racial/ethnic origin or disabilities on a strictly voluntary
basis (e.g. for purposes of providing equal employment opportunities) and you
may choose not to submit this information without any detriment to your
application. For our EU users, data about racial/ethnic origin and disabilities
are considered special categories of personal data under Article 9 of the EU
General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). When we host Easy Apply
applications that collect this kind of data, we pass that information along to
the employer when we submit your application and do not retain it on our
systems. But please remember, you should not include this kind of data in any resume
you upload to the Platform or submit it in any other scenarios, except where we
specifically prompt you to provide such information such as described above.
Some of our Easy Apply
applications allow you to apply to a job hosted on the site of one of our
affiliates. When you click on the Easy Apply button, and confirm by clicking
the Apply button, your application will be submitted for the job through one of
our affiliates. Before the Apply button, you will see a notice informing you
that the application is hosted on an affiliate’s site, including a link in the
affiliate’s terms and privacy policy. You will have the opportunity to open the
affiliate’s terms and privacy policy and read them prior to submitting your
application.
Selfpre provides the Selfpre Messaging Service, a two-way message proxy
and relay system. By utilizing the Selfpre Messaging Service, you acknowledge
that you are asking Selfpre to send these messages on your behalf. This
includes your resumes, cover letters, applications, messages, questionnaire
answers, responses, offer letters and other materials. When you ask Selfpre to
transmit an application or a message, including, but not limited to, a signed
offer letter, to an employer via Selfpre or the Selfpre Messaging Service or
store such application, you understand Selfpre reserves the right to reformat
such application or message.
We process, monitor,
review, store and analyze such content and other materials, including via
automated means, for data analysis, quality control, enforcement of our Terms,
and improvement of our services. Examples of such improvements would be
optimizing our search results, improving job postings, matching you with a job
posting or employer, ensuring you are provided with personally relevant product
features and communications, and preventing fraud and spam. As a result of this
activity, or due to technical malfunction, in certain circumstances such content
may be delayed or may not be delivered to the intended recipient. Selfpre may
(but is not obligated to) notify you in such an event. By using Selfpre
Messaging Service or otherwise providing user content through Selfpre, you
acknowledge that this activity is necessary for maintaining the quality of Selfpre
and for providing the Selfpre Messaging Service. Please also note that since
the Selfpre Messaging Services depend on the functionality of third-party
providers, there may be technical delays on the part of those email service
providers.
If you enter credit card
information on the Platform in connection with a purchase, that information is
sent directly from your browser to the third-party service provider we use to
manage credit card processing and we do not store it on our servers. The
service provider is not permitted to use the information you provide except for
the sole purpose of credit card processing on our behalf.
When you submit personal
information to a third party and are informed at the time of collection that
your information may be shared with us, we may collect that information for
lawful marketing purposes.
Employers with Free Employer Accounts may provide us with
work email addresses of their employees for use to send an email asking those
employees to leave candid reviews of the employer on the Platform.
Categories of personal
information collected by Selfpre may include Job Postings (your job postings on
Selfpre), Profile Information (Name, Email Address, Resume, Current Job Title,
Past Job History, Age, Gender), Sales & Support History (Purchase History,
Payment Details, and other sales support interactions), Job Applications (jobs
you have applied to), Job Interests & Activity (job preferences and your
activity interacting with jobs, e.g. saving a job), Security & Login
Information (Your login events, password changes, email changes and mobile
device information), Site Activity (Pages you viewed and “like activity”),
Marketing Activity (Marketing programs you have joined, content downloaded,
etc.), User Feedback (Feedback you have provided Selfpre via email, app/website
and other channels), and/or Content You Contributed (Employer reviews, Salary
Reports, Benefit reviews, Interview reviews, Employer photos). We may also
collect Additional Personal and Demographic Information you may elect to give
us, as set forth in further detail below.
Information We Collect Automatically
When you use the Platform,
your device is automatically providing information to us so we can respond and
customize our response to you. The type of information we collect by automated
means generally includes technical information about your computer, such as
your IP address or other device identifier, the type of device you use, and
operating system version. The information we collect also may include usage
information and statistics about your interaction with the Platform. That
information may include the URLs of our web pages that you visited, URLs of
referring and exiting pages, page views, time spent on a page, number of
clicks, platform type, location data (if you have enabled access to your
location on your mobile device), and other information about how you used the
Platform.
Automated means of data
collection include the following:
Cookies And Tracking Technologies. Technologies such as:
cookies, web beacons, locally shared objects (sometimes called “flash
cookies”), mobile identifiers and similar technologies (“Cookies”) are used by Selfpre
and our partners (such as advertising, marketing and analytics providers) (“Ad
Partners”). We use Cookies to remember users’ settings as well as for
authentication and analytics. These technologies may be used in analyzing
trends, administering the Platform, tracking users’ movements around the
Platform and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
Our Ad Partners may also use such technologies to deliver advertisements to
you. You can control the use of Cookies at the individual browser level, but if
you choose to disable Cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or
functions on our website or service. For more information on Cookies, how we
use them, the third parties we work with who use them, and how you can control
them, please see the section of this policy entitled Cookie Policy and Ad
Choices.
Log File Information. Log file information
is automatically reported by your browser or mobile application each time you
access a website on our Platform. For example, when you access a Selfpre
website, our servers automatically record certain information that your web
browser sends when you visit any website. These server logs include information
such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type,
referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages,
and pages viewed.
Device Information. We collect
information about the device you use to access the Platform, including type of
device, operating system, settings, and unique device identifiers, and IP
address. Whether we collect some or all of this information often depends on
what type of device you’re using and its settings. For example, different types
of information are available depending on whether you’re using a Mac or a PC,
or an iPhone or Android phone. We collect the device type and any other
information you choose to provide, such as username, geolocation, or email
address. We also use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand
the functionality of our mobile software on your phone. This software records
information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur
within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the
application was downloaded from. We do not link the information we store within
the analytics software to any personally identifiable information you submit
within the mobile application.
How We Use Information
We use the information we
collect to provide our services. In order for us to best provide our services
(and to help make it feasible for us to do so), it is essential that we are
able to collect and use the information as described in this Policy.
Selfpre’s mission is to
help people everywhere find a job and company they love. Since each of our
affiliates shares a similar goal of helping people find jobs and helping
employers hire quality candidates, Selfpre and its affiliates have developed
the HR Tech Privacy Center. The HR Tech Privacy Center is designed to educate
our users about our affiliates and how we share data with them to provide
robust service offerings to our users. We encourage you to visit the HR
Tech Privacy Center to learn more.
Examples of our affiliates
include: Indeed, Simply Hired, Syft, Resume.com, Workopolis, Wowjobs, Engineerjobs, RescueMyResumes and Resumeperfector.
As a registered user of our
Platform, Selfpre processes your information in accordance with our contractual
obligations based on the Terms of Use and, where this is not the case,
alternative legal grounds serve as our legal basis for processing (i.e., consent,
legal obligation, and legitimate interests) including personal information for
the following purposes:
- to provide you with personalized content, services and
offers of services offered by Selfpre, as well as other promotional
content and services (for example, Selfpre and its affiliates may use your
previous search and browsing history (e.g. the jobs you click on), or your
resume, Profile, application information, and responses to screener
questions to determine relevant search results and provide you with
recommended jobs on Selfpre or on sites of Selfpre affiliates, or Selfpre
may reach out to you about jobs or companies you may be interested in; we
also use your IP address and mobile device for these purposes); 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 Selfpre, Inc., now or in the future. “Control” for these purposes
means having a majority of shares or the right and ability to direct management.
- to moderate and display the employer reviews, interview
reviews, salary reports and other content you have submitted for the
benefit of our other users.
- to customize and improve the features, performance, and
support of the Selfpre site and sites of Selfpre affiliates.
- to communicate with you or initiate communication with
you (for marketing or service-related purposes) on behalf of third parties
through your Selfpre account or through other means such as email,
telephone (including mobile phone), or postal mail, including through the
use of contact information that you provide to us or (where it is lawful
for us to do so) that we otherwise obtain from third-party resources.
- to permit Selfpre or a Selfpre affiliate to recommend a
Selfpre user (and that user’s resume or resume extract) to an employer
hosted by Selfpre or to an employer hosted by a Selfpre affiliate, subject
to visibility settings you control (for example, Selfpre may use
application materials—including resumes and responses to screener
questions—to determine whether the words of any job seeker’s resume and
answers to screener questions match the words of a job posting or resume
query, and vice-versa, we may then differentiate matching resumes and
screener questions from those that do not match, and present them to
employers as matches or not matches);
- to permit Selfpre to contact Selfpre users with respect
to such recommendations, subject to visibility settings you control;
- to provide relevant advertising, including
interest-based advertising from us and third parties, which may mean that
we share non-personally identifiable information, such as your job title,
to third-party advertisers;
- to transmit your application and save your application
materials;
- to share your saved Profile or resume with employers,
subject to visibility settings you control;
- to allow Selfpre and Selfpre affiliates to process your
personal data for the purpose of improving for internal operations,
including detecting and preventing fraud and spam, troubleshooting, data
analysis, testing, research, and service improvement (this includes use of
your IP address and mobile device information to help diagnose problems
with our service and to administer the Platform);
- to create aggregated statistical data that does not identify
you individually and that we can commercialize (for example, we use mobile
device data and IP addresses to create anonymized, aggregate demographic
information);
- for other purposes that you separately authorize as you
interact with Selfpre.
When we collect any
information that does not identify you as a specific natural person
(“Non-Personal Information”), we are permitted to use and disclose this
information for any purpose, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Policy, except where we are required to do otherwise by applicable law.
Examples of Non-Personal Information include physical location information;
demographic information, including gender, dates of birth, ZIP codes, etc.; or
any personal information that has been anonymized, aggregated or de-identified.
If we combine any Non-Personal Information with your personal information (such
as combining your ZIP code with your name), we will use and disclose such
combined information as personal information in accordance with this policy.
Similarly, if applicable law requires that we treat certain Non-Personal
Information as personal information, we will use and disclose this information
as personal information in accordance with this policy.
How We Share Information/Recipients
We only disclose your
personal information to third parties as follows:
- We use affiliated and unaffiliated service providers
all over the world to help us deliver our service and run our business
subject to strict confidentiality agreements. These companies are
authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide
these services to us;

- We may also share your information with Selfpre
affiliates, namely any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with Selfpre. Such affiliates
shall process your personal data either (1) at our direction as a
processor under a contractual relationship, (2) as a separate controller
of your information where you are informed at the time of collection or
processing of their relationship to you, or (3) where we believe it is
necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest, and where such
purposes are aligned with those for which you provided your personal data
to us. These instances and processing activities are outlined in the “How
We Use Your Information” section above and will include data falling into
the categories described in the section “Information You Give Us”. We
encourage you to visit the HR Tech Privacy Center to learn more.
- We will disclose data If we believe in good faith such
disclosure is necessary (1) to comply with relevant laws or to respond to
subpoenas or warrants or legal process served on us (though we reserve the
right to take action on behalf of our users to defend their right to
anonymity when we believe there is a legitimate basis to do so, because
candid, lawful, anonymous free speech is fundamental to Selfpre’s mission
of workplace transparency); (2) to enforce our Selfpre Terms of Use and Privacy Policy; (3) when we believe disclosure
is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or
in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity;
(4) as we otherwise deem necessary and is permitted by applicable laws to
protect and defend the rights or property of us, the users of our
services, or third parties; or (5) as permitted under applicable laws to
meet national security and similar requirements;
- In reorganization or sale of our company or assets,
your data may be transferred, subject to the acquirer and its affiliates
accepting the commitments made in this Policy and compliance with
applicable law;
- If you apply for a particular job through the Platform,
we will disclose your personal information to the employer to whom you
apply and any vendors they are working with to process your application;
- We invite you to include your resume or other
information in more generally available formats for us to share with
employers (for example, when you apply to Easy Apply jobs, a static image
of your saved Profile), subject to visibility settings you control;
- We share certain information that does not identify you
personally, but which is unique to your use of the Platform, such as job
titles that you have entered at the time of registration or on your
profile. When we share such information, we do not link job titles with
your name when we provide this information to others, such as advertisers,
recruiters or employers;
- We will otherwise share personal information with your
consent.
- As described in this section, Selfpre may share your
data with our affiliates. When we share this data, this may be considered
a “sale” under applicable law. Once we begin sharing data you will be able
to opt-out of this sharing by accessing the link in our footer titled “Do Not Sell My Info”
The Legal Basis on Which Selfpre Processes Your Personal Data
Selfpre collects and
processes your personal information on the basis of different legal grounds,
depending on the nature of the personal information being provided and the type
of processing involved.
Performance of a Contract
Most of the personal Data
processed by Selfpre is performed on the basis that it is necessary for the
performance of our agreements with you (among them, your agreement to our Terms
of Use and this Policy), or in order to take steps at the request of the user
prior to entering such an agreement. An example of this would be where Selfpre
sends a job seeker’s application to an employer.
Legitimate Interest
A second ground relied upon
by Selfpre for other types of processing of your personal information is that
it is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by Selfpre.
Such legitimate interests may include where Selfpre sends you marketing about
our products and services or where we believe you have a reasonable expectation
that we will perform a particular type of processing on your behalf. A further
example would be where Selfpre shares your personal information with our
affiliates as detailed in the “How We Share Information/Recipients” section
above. Selfpre will only rely on such a ground where an assessment has been
performed balancing the interests and rights involved and the necessity of the
processing in order to provide our services, products and features to you.
Compliance with a Legal
Obligation
A third ground relied upon
for certain types of processing is that it is necessary in order to allow Selfpre
to comply with a legal obligation. An example of this would be where Selfpre is
required to retain business records for fixed periods of time or transmit them
to a user in order to comply with local legal requirements. Another example is
when Selfpre collects Equal Employment Opportunity (or similar programs in your
country) information on behalf of employers as part of the process of
processing your applications to employers through the Selfpre platform.
Consent
Finally, in certain limited
situations, Selfpre relies on your consent in order to process your personal
information. Where Selfpre requires your consent in order to collect and
process certain personal information, we seek your consent at the time of
provision, and such processing will only be performed where consent is secured
unless Selfpre has another lawful basis on which to rely. For example, your
consent may be sought where you submit feedback to Selfpre, or in certain
instances where you initiate a marketing message or other communication with Selfpre.
You can withdraw your consent, as detailed in the “Other Important Privacy
Information” section below, where applicable.
Additional Personal and Demographic Information You May Elect to
Give Us
At Selfpre, our mission is
to help everyone find a job and company they love. We also believe transparency
is one of the most powerful forces for good in the world. At its core,
transparency about the workplace empowers people with the right information to
make the right decisions about their careers. In an effort to innovate and
evolve, and in order for us to take workplace transparency to the next level,
you now have the option to provide us with personal diversity and inclusion
(“D&I”) information.
In particular, we may ask
you to provide (and we may subsequently collect) certain categories of D&I
information about you, including information relating but not limited to:
- Age
- Disability
- Gender Identity
- Language
- Leading Personality Trait
- Marital Status
- Parental Status
- Race & Ethnicity
- Religion
- Sexual Orientation
- Veteran Status
D&I Information
Principles
We recognize that some of
these categories of information are sensitive and very personal. We therefore
want to be fully transparent in how we collect and process this data so that
you can make an informed decision whether or not you want to provide this
information to us.
First, you are never obligated
to provide this information to access or use the Selfpre platform. Selfpre will
always remain a place you can visit to find out information about companies and
jobs without the need to supply personal information beyond your comfort level,
i.e., the level at which you elect to share information about yourself (except
as required in order to use a particular service, such as personal information
necessary to apply for a job).
Second, we will only collect and
process D&I information based on your explicit consent.
Third, you will always have the
option at any time to remove previously supplied D&I information, or to
update D&I information that may have changed.
Fourth, we employ physical,
electronic, and managerial measures to safeguard the information we collect
online. However, you should know that no company can fully eliminate security
risks, so we cannot make guarantees about any part of our services.
Fifth, we use D&I data only
for the purposes described in this Policy unless we notify you at the time of
collection that we may use it in some other manner.
Sixth, we take precautions to
ensure that your decision to provide your D&I information does not
inadvertently negate your anonymity or reveal your identity on our platform.
For example, we may limit the number of reviews or other pieces of content
required with certain D&I attributes for those D&I attributes to become
visible to the public in order to ensure that we do not inadvertently disclose
sufficient information about a particular user’s personal attributes that would
make them identifiable. While we take your anonymity extremely seriously and
make our best efforts to ensure that D&I information does not inadvertently
lead to your identification, there are two instances in which such disclosure
of a user’s identification may occur:
- In order to provide a voice and agency to those who,
regardless of the risks of identification, affirmatively wish to have
their opinions and experiences heard, we may provide an option for users
to opt into the disclosure of their D&I data in a manner and to an
extent that may lead to loss of their anonymity on our platform. These
choices will be conspicuously marked and will require affirmative assent
to verify your understanding, intention, and acceptance of this risk of
identification.
- While we try very hard to plan for all contingencies,
we are not perfect. The preventative measures we take and our platform’s
technological performance may not always function the way we intend when
combined with the complex realities of many millions of unique workplaces
into which we have limited, imperfect visibility. As we collect more
personal information about our users that may be displayed publicly, there
may be instances where the mechanisms we have designed to protect your
anonymity fail. This is never our intention, and we take multiple steps to
ensure this is not the case. But, in the interests of transparency, we
want to be sure we make you are fully aware of this risk.
Seventh, we will never sell or
transfer your D&I information to a third-party in a way that would present
a risk to your anonymity (i.e., we will never transfer your D&I information
to a third-party in conjunction with other particular information about you
sufficient for a third-party to identify you). We may, however, disclose your
D&I information to one of our affiliates or service providers as defined
and described in this Policy to enable affiliate or service-provider data
processing for purposes consistent with this Policy and the principles outlined
herein (see the section of this Policy titled “How We Share
Information/Recipients”). We may also anonymize and/or aggregate and make
available data to third parties and the public as described in this Policy
(e.g., to provide insights into diversity metrics in particular areas,
industries, companies, or countries, or make available data reports outlining
economic or labor trends).
How We Use D&I
Information
Depending on your
selections if and as you elect to disclose D&I information, we will use the
data you provide to implement new platform features, track various diversity
and inclusion trends across industries, countries, and globally, and push employers
to begin sharing diversity data and make changes to their practices in response
to the insights we provide.
As a registered user of our
Platform, Selfpre processes your D&I and some non-D&I information in
accordance with our contractual obligations based on the Terms of Use, this
Policy, and your consent for the following purposes:
- Providing insights into wage discrepancies (e.g.,
showing gender and racial/ethnic wage gap disparities)
- Providing D&I-based analysis of jobs and companies
(e.g., we may utilize D&I information to generate reports highlighting
employers that best embrace diversity, support LGBTQ rights, minimize wage
gaps, etc.)
- Providing diversity and inclusion metrics and ratings
(e.g., provide insights for job seekers who want to learn more about
diversity and inclusion with respect to specific industries or companies)
- Providing search optimization and filtering via
diversity data (e.g., providing users the ability to filter Selfpre
content or companies based on certain employer qualities or employee
experiences and attributes; for example, employers that are supportive of
LGBTQ+ rights or who are particularly supportive of women with respect to
enhanced maternity leave benefits; As users provide D&I information,
their reviews may be associated with aggregated categories, such as
filtering for all the African-American, Pacific Islander, and Latinx
reviews for a particular company/all the reviews for an industry. In some
instances, particular reviews may be tagged with D&I attributes.)
- Enhancing employer/employee diversity disclosures for
job seekers (e.g., we may allow employers to share internal diversity
data, diversity program details, and testimonials from their own
employees; we may provide opportunities for jobseekers and employees
to engage and have anonymous discussions on D&I-related and other
topics, )
- Incorporating D&I information into existing or new
products and services otherwise detailed in this Policy (see the section
of this Policy titled “How We Use Your Information”)
How We Share D&I

Cookie Policy and Ad Choices
This Cookie Policy
describes how Selfpre uses Cookies and similar technologies. For more
information on our general data privacy practices, please see the full Privacy Policy.
Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of
data that are stored on your computer, mobile phone, or other device when you
first visit a page. We use cookies, web beacons, locally shared objects
(sometimes called “flash cookies”), mobile identifiers and similar technologies
(“Cookies”) to help us recognize you on the Platform, enhance your user
experience, understand usage of the Platform, and show you relevant
advertising. Cookies may also be set by other websites or services that run
content on the page you’re visiting. After you register on the Platform, we may
connect information we collect from the Cookies set by us and our partners with
other information received from you. The provision of your data via Cookies is
voluntary except for those Cookies that we place on your device because we need
them for the performance of our Platform and our services.
What types of Cookies do we
use?
We use two types of Cookies
on the Platform: “session cookies” and “persistent cookies.” Session Cookies
are temporary Cookies that remain on your device until you leave the Platform.
A persistent Cookie remains on your device for much longer until you manually
delete it (how long the Cookie remains will depend on the duration or
“lifetime” of the specific Cookie and your browser settings).
What are Cookies used for?
Cookies transmit
information about you and your use of the Platform, such as your browser type,
search preferences, job titles, data relating to advertisements that have been
displayed to you or that you have clicked on, and the date and time of your
use. With the exception of an identifier Cookie that we associate with
registered accounts to prevent fraud by members of the Platform, Cookies link
to certain unique information such as the job titles that you entered at time
of registration or on your profile, but this is not linked to your name. We use
four types of cookies: Strictly Necessary, Functional, Analytics, and
Targeting. You can reference which specific cookies fall into each category by
using our Cookie Consent Tool in our website footer.
We use Cookies for things
like:
Purpose |
Explanation |
Authentication |
We use
Cookies to help us determine whether or not you’ve signed in to the Platform
and to keep you signed in during visits as you access different pages. |
Security |
We use
Cookies to enable and support security features, prevent fraud, and protect
your data from unauthorised access. |
Preferences
and Features |
We use
Cookies to enable features and help us provide you with personalised content,
such as showing you your recent search activity. |
Advertising |
We use
Cookies to deliver, evaluate and improve advertising, such as by using
information about you to provide relevant advertising both on and off the
Platform. Our Ad Partners may use a cookie to determine whether you’ve
already been shown an advert or how it performed, or provide us with
information about how you interacted with an ad. |
Analytics
and Performance |
We use
Cookies to analyze how our visitors use the Platform and to monitor site
performance. These Cookies help us to identify and fix errors, understand and
improve services, research and test out different features, and monitor how
our visitors reach our sites. |
Targeting Cookies: Ad
Choices and Managing Cookies
Selfpre works with several
third parties to provide you with personalized, interest-based advertising. We
may target ads to you, and measure their performance, on and off the Platform
using:
- Member-provided profile information (e.g., job title,
occupation, location, authorized information shared from your Social
Networking Site)
- Your use of the Platform (e.g., search history, job
clicks, companies you follow);
- Information inferred from data described above (e.g.,
using job titles from a profile to infer industry, seniority, and
compensation bracket).
- IP address or mobile device location information (to
the extent you have enabled location tracking on your device);
- Cookies (both on and off the Platform) which may
include information from the Ad Partners we use to help deliver relevant
ads to you.
How We Work with
Third-Party Ad Partners
When we work with our Ad
Partners to serve you personalized, interest-based advertising, we do not share
information with them that they can use to identify you or associate with you
as a specific individual unless you have instructed us to do so (such as when
you fill out a lead form in an ad, or approve your Profile for display to
employers). Similarly, if one of these Ad Partners has information about you
saved in one of their own Cookies on your browser, they use that information to
help us send you a relevant ad, but they do not share with us information that
we can associate with you as an individual.
We work with third parties,
such as Google Analytics, to provide analytics services that use the Cookies
set on your device to measure the performance of advertising and track traffic
to Selfpre generally. We have also implemented Google Analytics
Demographics and Interest Reporting, which categorizes Cookie information so that
we and third-party service providers can better deliver advertisements that are
relevant and useful to you on the Platform and various websites across the
internet. In addition, a Cookie on some of our employer clients sites provides
us with aggregate data about the number of applications submitted to those
sites by users of Platform.
Consenting to Cookies and
Opting Out of Cookies
As we describe in our
cookie banner (for our users in jurisdictions where we display a consent
banner) and in our Cookie Consent Tool (located in the Selfpre website footer),
we use Cookies that are strictly necessary for us to provide the services you
use and you cannot opt out of these Cookies on the Platform. By utilizing our
Cookie Consent Tool, you can reject all but Strictly Necessary cookies, or opt
out if specific categories of cookies at any time (as described above and in
the Tool). You are also able to disable placement of some (but not all) Cookies
by setting your browser to decline cookies, though this may worsen your user
experience. Additionally, you can also control, manage and/or delete cookies via
your browser settings. A useful resource for information about deleting and
controlling cookies can be found at AboutCookies.org.
If you enable location data
for the mobile version of the Platform (including any version installed as a
native application), we may use your location data to serve you geo-targeted
ads for employers and other advertisers that are local to you. In such
instances, we do not share your location with the advertiser or advertising
network; rather, we provide the advertiser or advertising network with a means
to push ads through to users located in certain areas. You may disable location
services at any time in your device privacy settings or the Selfpre native app
settings.
Ad Partner Cookies
Here are some options for
managing the third-party Cookies used by our Ad Partners:
When visiting Selfpre from
a region where applicable law requires consent for the use of non-strictly
necessary cookies, we surface a cookie consent banner and request your consent.
You can adjust Cookie preferences on Selfpre through our Cookie Consent Tool
located in the Selfpre footer.
You are also able to opt
out of other third-party advertiser and ad network placement of Cookies or
targeted advertising generally by visiting the following links: Network Advertising Initiative; Digital Advertising Alliance; European Interactive Digital Advertising
Alliance (for users in the EU); The Digital Advertising
Alliance of Canada (for users in Canada); or you can follow opt-out
instructions of the Ad Partners we work with listed here. You will continue to
receive generic ads by companies not listed with these opt-out tools.
You can opt out of tracking
by Google Analytics and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting
services by visiting Google Ads Settings or by downloading
the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
Please note: If ads or other
features on the Platform are provided by third parties, those parties set and
use their own Cookies that are subject to those third parties’ privacy notices
and policies. Selfpre does not have access to, or control over, these Cookies.
Also, if you respond to ads posted by third parties or submit information to
third parties via the Platform, such third parties receive information about
you subject to their privacy policies.
Do Not Track Signals
We do not currently respond
to ‘do not track’ signals and similar settings or mechanisms. When you use the
Platform, we try to provide a customized experience.

that include legally mandated retention periods, pending or potential
litigation, our intellectual property or ownership rights, contract

depersonalize it so that we can’t identify you.
Security Safeguards

electronic, and managerial measures to safeguard the information we collect
online. However, no company can fully eliminate security risks, so we cannot
make guarantees about any part of our services. You are responsible for keeping
your username and password secret. Once you have registered with us, we will
never ask you for your password. Please create a unique password for your Selfpre
account and do not use it for any other web services or applications. Do not
share your password with anyone else.
Tips For A Responsible Job
Search. We
actively monitor the Platform for job postings that violate our Terms of Use. If we detect fraudulent
activity, we remove the job posting from the Platform. However, fraudulent job
postings can sometimes appear and we urge you to exercise caution in your job
search. Please consider the following tips when conducting your search:
- Do not send money to a prospective employer.
- Do not give out personal or financial account information
to a new employer via email.
- Do not cash checks or transfer funds for your employer.
- Beware of job postings that ask you to send your resume
to a free email service address (e.g., gmail, yahoo, etc).
- Do not include sensitive information like your National
Insurance number in your resume.
- Beware of job listings with spelling errors and bad
grammar.
- If something sounds too good to be true, it probably
is.
- Do your homework. Be sure to research any job
opportunity that interests you.
If you see a suspicious job
posting, please contact us here. If you think you have been the victim of
fraud, immediately report the fraud to your local police and contact Selfpre.
