In general, we gather information about all of our users collectively. We only use such information anonymously and in the aggregate. This information helps us 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 our partners, but only in the aggregate, so that they too may understand how Ophthal Jobs visitors use our site, so they may create a better overall experience for you, as well.

Personal Resume Bank
The Personal Resume Bank allows Ophthal Jobs Recruiters to create a private database of resumes from the Recruiters Desktop. Resumes entered into the Personal Resume Bank from the Ophthal Jobs resume banks are accessible to anyone with an active Ophthal Jobs subscription account. Resumes entered into the Personal Resume Bank from a source other than the Ophthal Jobs resume banks are accessible to only that recruiter; the Recruiters Desktop is password protected. If a recruiter elects to cancel their account, they may email all the resumes in their Personal Resume Bank to any email address they choose and/or print the resumes.

Forums
Ophthal Jobs provides job seeker career forums for each of its career channels. These areas are not restricted and are accessible by anyone visiting the website and Ophthal Jobs personnel.

Personal Information
Ophthal Jobs' resume functionality requires/requests users to give us contact information (such as their email address) and personal information (such as their work histories and academic achievements). The user's contact and personal information is used to contact the visitor when necessary, but is primarily used in the construction of the user's resume and Candidate Profile.

Demographic data that are collected at our site are not required, and are shared with clients only on an aggregate basis, primarily to aid employers with their own EEO compliance and affirmative action policies. We do not disclose information about your individual visits to Ophthal Jobs, or personal information that you provide, such as your name, address, email address, telephone number, credit card number, personal references, etc., to any outside parties, except when we believe the law requires it. But, we may record and share aggregated information with our partners.

Legal Disclaimer
We may disclose personal information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process serviced on our website.

Resume Posting
When you post your resume, you have the option of suppressing your contact information. You also have the ability of making the resume active or non-active. An active resume will be accessible to all employers and recruiters who pay for access to our resume database product. We use our best efforts to grant access to this database only to paying employers, recruiters, hiring managers, headhunters, and human resource professionals, but cannot guarantee that other parties will not, without our consent, gain access to this database. You may remove your resume from our searchable database by deleting the resume or by making it inactive. However, employers and recruiters who have paid for access to the database, and other 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, or for the use or privacy of resumes by any of such parties while resumes are in the database.

Security
We operate secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection. We have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your user data under our control.

Only certain employees have access to the information you provide us. For example, we impose strict rules on our employees who have access either to the databases that store user information or to the servers that host our services. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur, we try to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.
