Privacy Policy
We understand the power that the Internet holds for changing
your life and making things easier for you. These benefits
are at risk if people are concerned about their personal privacy.
We are committed to providing you with an Internet experience
that respects and protects your personal privacy choices and
concerns.
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.

Ophthal Jobs provides email address links located on the Contact
Us page so that you may email us directly with any questions
or comments you may have. Ophthal Jobs reads all messages
received and makes efforts to respond promptly. In addition
to replying to your comment or inquiry, we may also file your
email for future reference regarding improvements to our website
or discard the information. Your personal information is not
shared to third parties without your express permission.
Information Collection and
Use
Ophthal Jobs is the sole owner of the information collected
on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information
to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this
statement. Ophthal Jobs collects information from our users
at several different points on our website.
Membership Information
Companies wishing to sign up for Ophthal Jobs' service are
asked to provide certain data including full name, complete
mailing address, phone number and email address.
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.
Change/Modify Job Seeker Profile
and Resume Information
This site gives job seeker users options for changing and
modifying information previously provided. Login to your Job
Seekers Desktop and select 'My Profile' to modify account
information. To edit specific resume information, select 'Access
Resumes'.
Delete/Opt-Out
Many of the services available on our site provide you with
the opportunity to opt out of receiving communications from
our partners and us. In addition, in the majority of our email
communications, we will have instructions on how to unsubscribe
so that you will not receive any future emails from us if
you so choose.
Links
Ophthal Jobs contains links to other websites. These sites
have their own policies and practices with respect to online
privacy, and Ophthal Jobs cannot be responsible for the privacy
practices or the content of these websites. In addition, in
certain instances a Ophthal Jobs advertiser may ask you for
personal information. Ophthal Jobs cannot be responsible for
the privacy practices of its advertisers.
Troubleshooting
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our
server and to administer our website. An Internet protocol
(I.P.) address is a set of numbers that is automatically assigned
to your computer whenever you log on to your Internet service
provider or through your company's local area network (LAN)
or wide area network (WAN).
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users
via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or
contest is completely voluntary and the user therefore has
a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and
email address), and demographic information (such as zip code).
Contact information will be used to notify winners and award
prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring
or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Children
We do not specifically collect information about children.
We believe that children should get their parents' consent
before giving out personal information. If you are concerned
about your child's use of Ophthal Jobs, we encourage you to
use web filtering technology to supervise your child's access
to the site. We also encourage you to participate in your
child's experience with Ophthal Jobs. With a little guidance,
the site can prove very useful in finding a part-time or summer
job for your child, as well as providing them with excellent
career counseling information.
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.
Notification of Changes
This policy may be revised over time as new features are added
to the website. We will post those changes so that you will
always know what information we gather, how we might use that
information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone. Please
check this site for information about revisions to our privacy
policy.
We will notify you directly if
there is a material change in our privacy practices. We will
take commercially reasonable measures to obtain written or
active email consent from the user if Ophthal Jobs is going
to be using the information collected from the user in a manner
different from that stated at the time of collection. We will
also post the changes in our privacy statement 30 days prior
to a change.
