HumanEdge, Inc. ("HumanEdge") provides a variety of services (the "Services") by way of the humanedge.com website (the "Site"), such as, posting job openings and allowing users to upload resumes. Since the success of HumanEdge is dependent on building and maintaining goodwill with those who visit the Site and those use the Site and the Services, we are committed to implementing measures designed to protect the privacy of our visitors and users. Moreover, we see it as our responsibility to set examples and help establish the standards for online privacy.
Although HumanEdge respects the privacy of all those who visit the Site and all those who use the Site and the Services, we do collect information from our visitors and users. This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") governs your interaction with the Site and your use of the Services. Except as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy, our Terms of Use and any other guidelines posted by us, we do not release personally identifiable information about our visitors or users without their permission.
Please note that HumanEdge reviews its privacy practices from time to time, and that those practices are therefore subject to change. We ask that you bookmark and periodically review this page to ensure continuing familiarity with the most current version of our Privacy Policy. Registered users will be notified by way of email about changes to the Privacy Policy or if the use of any information already collected by the Site has changed. To contact HumanEdge about any privacy issues or to report an actual or a suspected violation of this Privacy Policy, please email us at info@humanedge.com.
HumanEdge gathers two types of information about Site visitors and users. Such information is described below.
(1) Non-personally identifiable information.
When visitors come to the Site, we collect and aggregate information indicating, among other things, which pages were visited, the order in which they were visited, and which hyperlinks were "clicked." If a visitor connects to the Site using another website, such as LinkedIn, we may receive information that the visitor authorizes such third party website to share with us.
Collecting the foregoing information involves the logging of IP addresses, operating system and browser software used by each visitor to the Site. Although such information is not personally identifiable, we can determine from the IP address a visitor's Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of their point of connectivity. The non-personally identifiable information that we collect helps us identify the most popular areas of the Site and determine the effectiveness of any of our marketing activities.
For similar purposes, we use "cookies," which are small text files placed on your computer's hard drive – in order to help us determine the type of content and websites to which you link, the length of time you spend at any particular area of the Site, and the Services that you choose to use. Cookies also tell us what you have seen on the Site. Essentially, cookies are your identification cards for HumanEdge's computers, or servers, that delivered what you have seen on the Site. Cookies are only read by the server that placed them, and are unable to execute any code or virus. Cookies are placed and stored on your cell phone and tablet, as well.
Cookies allow HumanEdge to serve you better and more efficiently, and to personalize your experience at the Site and with the Services. Nevertheless, you should be able to control how and whether cookies will be accepted by your web browser. For more information on how to do so, please refer to the documentation accompanying your browser.
Please note that some of HumanEdge's third party affiliates may place cookies on your computer's hard drive, in order to provide you with materials that may be of interest to you while you are visiting the Site. HumanEdge cannot and does not assume any responsibility for the actions or information collection practices of such third parties.
In addition, we sometimes collect anonymous information from visits to the Site through the use of "web beacons" (also known as "Internet tags," "pixel tags," "tracking pixels" and "clear GIFs"). These do not access your personal information, but rather allow HumanEdge to log users who have visited the Site. HumanEdge may use said data for a variety of purposes, including for analytical purposes and to manage technical issues.
(2) Personally identifiable information.
In certain areas of the Site, we request that you provide us with personally identifiable information (including, for example, first name, last name, email address, and mailing address). We may also request information regarding your job interests. HumanEdge does not at this time request credit card information.
The Site and the Services are not directed towards anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18.
HumanEdge does not control the acts of its visitors or users. All visitors and users should be aware that, when they disclose personally identifiable information in any public area of the Site, the information may be collected and used by others. Users should therefore be careful to use their discretion when disclosing any information in any public area of the Site.
In the event that you encounter any site visitor or user who is or appears to be improperly collecting or using information about you or other site visitors, please contact us at info@humanedge.com
Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the different ways that HumanEdge uses the information that it gathers. HumanEdge encourages all third parties involved including, but not limited to, its affiliates – to adhere to HumanEdge's policies regarding the privacy of visitors and users and to otherwise handle personal information in a responsible manner.
(1) How we use (and do not use) non-personally identifiable information.
We use non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form to build higher quality, more useful Services by performing statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our visitors and users, and by measuring demographics and interests regarding specific areas of the Site.
The Site may contain links to other websites, which may or may not be owned or operated by HumanEdge. Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites.
(2) How we use (and do not use) personally identifiable information.
This Privacy Policy serves as notice that personally identifiable information will be collected during the registration process for the Site, in connection with certain of the Services, such as the uploading of resumes, and in connection with certain uses of the Site. We use personally identifiable information to maintain and improve the quality and usefulness of the Site and the Services.
Although you may not "opt out" of the registration process if you wish to become a member of the Site, you may choose to "opt out" of receiving email solicitations from HumanEdge by contacting us at info@humanedge.com.
HumanEdge limits its own email solicitations to those members who have chosen to receive - or not "opted out" of receiving - such communications. In addition, HumanEdge may use individual data to "target" certain materials — to decide which materials to show to which members.
In general, HumanEdge will primarily use your personally identifiable information for purposes of providing the Site and the Services to you and, if applicable, throughout the lifecycle of your work for HumanEdge or its clients.
We may also use third party service providers to assist us in providing the Site and the Services. In providing these services on behalf of HumanEdge, it may be necessary for us to provide such third parties with access to personally identifiable information. In such instances, HumanEdge only provides such third parties with the minimum amount of personal information that is necessary to enable them to perform the services.
In addition, circumstances may arise where HumanEdge chooses to sell, merge or otherwise reorganize its business. Such transactions may involve, in accordance with applicable law, the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers.
Finally, we reserve the right to disclose information contained within our access logs concerning any visitor or user as we reasonably feel is necessary to protect our systems or business.
If you wish to have your personally identifiable information removed from HumanEdge's databases, please contact us at info@humanedge.com or the mailing address below. We will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request.
Mobile information will not be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
HumanEdge takes every precaution to protect Site visitors' and users' information. When a user submits sensitive information by way of the Site, their information is protected both on- and off-line.
HumanEdge does everything in its power to protect visitor and user information. Access to all of the Site's visitors' and users' information in HumanEdge's offices is restricted. Only key personnel who need the information in order to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information.
If you have any questions about the security at the Site, feel free to send your questions to us at info@humanedge.com.
