In some areas of our Web sites, AUTOjobs.com requests or may request that you provide personal information, including your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number credit card number, social security number, contact information, billing information and any other information from which your identity is discernible. In other areas, AUTOjobs.com collects or may collect demographic information that is not unique to you such as your ZIP code, age, preferences, gender, interests and favorites. Sometimes we collect or may collect a combination of the two types of information. Examples of areas on AUTOjobs.com Web sites where we collect personal or combined personal and demographic data are pages where you can open an AUTOjobs.com account, sign up to use a service, post a resume, enter a contest or purchase a product.
We also gather or may gather certain information about your use of our site, such as what areas you visit and what services you access. Moreover, there is information about your computer hardware and software that is or may be collected by AUTOjobs.com. This information can include without limitation your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses.
Please remember that if you post any of your personal information in public areas of AUTOjobs.com, such information may be collected and used by others over whom AUTOjobs.com has no control. We are not responsible for the use made by third parties of information you post or otherwise make available in public areas of AUTOjobs.com.

Use of Information by AUTOjobs.com
We use the information we gather on an AUTOjobs.com Web site, whether personal, demographic, collective or technical, for the purpose of operating and improving the AUTOjobs.com Web site, fostering a positive user experience, and delivering the products and services that we offer.
We may also use the information we gather to inform you of other products or services available from AUTOjobs.com or its affiliated companies or to contact you about your opinion of current products and services or potential new products and services that may be offered.
We may use your contact information in order to send you e-mail or other communications regarding updates at the AUTOjobs.com site, such as new AUTOjobs.com opportunities and additional listings which may be of interest to you. The nature and frequency of these messages will vary depending upon the information we have about you.
Any feedback you submit in this area becomes our property, and we can use such feedback (such as success stories) for marketing purposes or contact you for further information.
Disclosure of Information to Others
We do not disclose to third parties your personal information, combined personal and demographic information or information about your use of an AUTOjobs.com Web site (such as the areas you visit or the services you access), except as set forth in the following four subparagraphs.
1. We may disclose such information to companies and individuals we employ 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 companies and individuals will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their functions, but they may not share that information with any other third party.
2. We may disclose such information if legally required to do so, if requested to do so by a governmental entity or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of AUTOjobs.com or its affiliated companies; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of users or the public.
3. We may disclose and transfer such information to a third party who acquires all or a substantial portion of AUTOjobs.com’s business, whether such acquisition is by way of merger, consolidation or purchase of all or a substantial portion of our assets. In addition, in the event AUTOjobs.com becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, AUTOjobs.com or its trustee in bankruptcy may sell, license or otherwise dispose of such information in a transaction approved by the bankruptcy court.
AUTOjobs.com may also share aggregated anonymous information about visitors to each of its Web sites (for example, the number of visitors to AUTOjobs.com’s different areas) with its clients, partners and other third parties so that they may understand the kinds of visitors to AUTOjobs.com’s site and how those visitors use the site.
AUTOjobs.com supplies technology, hosting and related services to other leading companies to power recruitment areas on their Web sites (sometimes referred to as “private label recruitment areas”). Personal and/or demographic information supplied by you in private label recruitment areas becomes part of the AUTOjobs.com database, but it is not accessible by anyone other than you, AUTOjobs.com and the company concerned without your consent.
Information gathered on a page in a private label recruitment area, or on a co-branded page (such as that of a contest co-sponsored by AUTOjobs.com and another company), may become the property of the other company or of both AUTOjobs.com and the other company. In that instance, the use of such information by the other company may be subject to the privacy policy of that company and, in any event, AUTOjobs.com is not responsible for that company’s use of your personal or demographic information.
If you apply for a position through a co-branded site, you may be asked to provide information on your age, gender or race. Some employers are required by law to gather this information from job applicants for reporting and record keeping requirements. You should understand that if provided, this information will be used by employers only in accordance with applicable law and will not be used in making any employment decisions. All information provided will be kept separate from your expression of interest in any job opportunity. Providing this information is strictly voluntary and you will not be subject to any adverse action or treatment if you choose not to provide this information.
Resumes
Since AUTOjobs.com is a career site, we give you the option of putting your resume in our database. There are two ways of doing this:
1. You can store your resume in our database, but not allow it to be searchable by potential employers. Not allowing your resume to be searchable means that you can make it invisible, employers and recruiters will not have access to search it through our resume database product. This feature is activated in your personal area.
2. If you allow your resume to be searchable, then all parties with access to our searchable resume database (or copies thereof) will have access to your resume.
We attempt to limit access to our searchable resume database (or copies thereof) only to paying employers, recruiters, hiring managers, headhunters, and human resource professionals, as well as law enforcement and national security agencies, but cannot guarantee that other parties will not gain access to this database. We are not responsible for the use made of resumes by third parties who access such resumes while they are in our searchable database. You may remove your resume from our searchable database at any time. However, employers, recruiters and others who have paid for access to that database or to obtain a copy of that database, as well as parties who have otherwise gained access to the database, may have retained a copy of your resume in their own files or databases. We are not responsible for the retention, use or privacy of resumes in these instances.
Use of Cookies
AUTOjobs.com uses “cookies” to help personalize and maximize your online experience and time online. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard drive by a Web page server. Cookies are not used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to your computer, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize AUTOjobs.com pages, or register for services, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information (such as user name, password and preferences). Because of our use of cookies, we can deliver faster and more accurate results and a more personalized site experience. When you return to the AUTOjobs.com site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized. We also use cookies to track click streams and for load balancing.
You may have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline all cookies if you prefer. Alternatively, you may be able to modify your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis. If you choose to decline cookies, however, that may hinder performance and negatively impact your experience on the AUTOjobs.com Web site.
