Last updated August 31, 2008

Your access to and use of BestNursingJobs.com (together with all sites owned or operated by BestNursingJobs, collectively called the "Site") and the services provided by BestNursingJobs including but not limited to the Job Posting Service, the Featured Advertising Service and the Powered by BestNursingJobs Service (collectively, the "Service") will be subject to BestNursingJobs's Privacy Policy as set forth below.

If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should first contact us.

About BestNursingJobs and the information we collect

BestNursingJobs has created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our dedication to protecting your personal information and informing you about how we handle it. This Privacy Policy only applies to transactions and activities in which you engage, and data gathered, on websites owned or operated by BestNursingJobs ("BestNursingJobs", "BestNursingJobs.com", the "site" or "website", the "BestNursingJobs Service", or "Service") through email campaigns conducted on behalf of our customers, or double blind email communications between BestNursingJobs.com members (collectively, the "Site") but does not apply to any website not owned or operated by BestNursingJobs or offline point of contact between BestNursingJobs, or any other company, and consumers. Please review this Privacy Policy periodically as we may modify it from time to time. Each time you visit the site or provide us with information, by doing so you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy at that time.

Information Collected

Your Personally Identifiable Information Collected by BestNursingJobs:

Our registration form requires you to give us certain information such as your name, email address and password. You may always choose not to provide such Personally Identifiable Information; however, this may limit our ability to provide you with a specific service or particular content.
We may also collect demographic and other data, which may include Personally Identifiable Information. This information is provided by you, and you have the choice whether or not to input information about yourself.
Demographic information is divided into two categories: 1) "non-public information", which consists of personal or financial information and one-on-one communications between you and other Users of the Site; and 2) "public information", which consists of all other demographic information. We ask that you do not enter personal information or financial information into your "Profile." Please note that nowhere on the Site do we knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16, as we require that all Users represent to us that they are at least 16 years old.
If you place an order for goods or services on BestNursingJobs, you may be required to enter your credit card number and information, as well as your address and/or other contact information.

Personally Identifiable Information Collected by BestNursingJobs's Business Partners:

BestNursingJobs works with employers, third-party advertising companies, sponsors and other companies with whom we do business ("Business Partners") to place advertising on our site and in email communications sent to our registered Users and to recipients of Job Opportunities, Job Search Alerts, and other communications related to the BestNursingJobs Service. Information about your visit to the Site, such as number of times you have viewed an ad, may be used to serve advertising to you.
Recipients of job opportunities have the option to inquire or forward the job on to friends. When you inquire or forward jobs, at minimum, your name and email address is shared with the employer offering the job. If you do not respond to a job opportunity, your contact information is not shared with the employer.
BestNursingJobs may correlate or match registered User information, including Personally Identifiable Information, with information held by our Business Partners to target ads or otherwise improve the effectiveness of our service. Our Business Partners may read or set cookies on your hard drive, use pixel tags, track which ads you have viewed, or collect other information about you.
From time to time, BestNursingJobs may also have special offers that are sponsored by a Business Partner. In order to participate in these offers, you may be required to follow a separate registration process. If you consent to receive information from a Business Partner, through an opt-in or opt-out process, BestNursingJobs may pass your information to such Business Partners.
BestNursingJobs may also offer goods or services for purchase available by our Business Partners. If you purchase goods or services offered through BestNursingJobs by a Business Partner, then you may be required to submit Personally Identifiable Information in order to complete the transaction and BestNursingJobs may provide your Personally Identifiable Information to such Business Partner for that purpose.
In some cases, we may enter into a relationship with a Business Partner in which we prominently display their brand name or trademarks on pages of the Site. These pages are known as "Co-Branded Pages" and these particular Business Partners are known as "Co-Branded Business Partners."
If the page on which you submit information is a Co-Branded Page, or was accessed by clicking on a link on a Co-Branded Page, then we may share your personal information with the associated Co-Branded Business Partner. Co-Branded Business Partners may use your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
BestNursingJobs makes reasonable efforts to communicate the privacy preferences in your account settings to Co-Branded Business Partners, but we cannot guarantee that they will comply with your preferences. You will need to contact the Co-Branded Business Partner to instruct them directly regarding your preferences for the use of your personal information by them. Additionally, you agree that BestNursingJobs may use and disclose all such information so submitted to such Co-Branded Business Partners in the same manner in which we are entitled to use and disclose any other information you submit to us. BestNursingJobs disclaims all liability for the privacy policies and procedures on any Business Partner or Co-Branded Business Partner Web site.

Cookies: BestNursingJobs wants to optimize your experience by ensuring that the most relevant information, searches and offers are displayed to you while using the Site. A common manner in which to do this is by placing cookies on your computer. Cookies are strings of text and numbers that can identify your computer to us when you visit the Site, and which may be correlated with your Personally Identifiable Information in our log files.

IP Address: We log standard information such as your IP address along with the URL from which you came to our Site and the URLs visited on our Site, which may or may not contain some Personally Identifiable Information. When we send messages to you or others, we may provide a URL link to the Site that contains an alphanumeric identifier, which allows us to identify the person to whom we sent the message so that we can personalize our content for that individual.

Use of Information

Use of Personally Identifiable Information by BestNursingJobs:

We use the collected Personally Identifiable Information to verify you and to contact you in connection with your transactions, postings and other activities on the Site, to forward to you messages from other Users, to communicate with you about Job opportunities of interest to you and to operate the BestNursingJobs Service.
BestNursingJobs may capture searches and other activity conducted by you on the BestNursingJobs Service in order to make suggestions to you regarding what similar searches, activities or topics might be of interest to you.
These types of communications may contain commercial messages, such as banner ads and special offers. Each communication we send to you, other than communications sent to you for the sole purpose of addressing a technical or operational issue regarding the BestNursingJobs Service, will give you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving further such communications from us.
Use of our invitation service to tell a friend about our Site or a job opportunity, or to participate in a referral chain, requires that you enter your friend's email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site or view the opportunity. BestNursingJobs stores this information to send this one-time email, to register a friend connection if your invitation is accepted, and to track the success of the BestNursingJobs referral program. Your friend may contact us at BestNursingJobs to request that we remove this information from view in our active database (please use BestNursingJobs Privacy in the subject line).
BestNursingJobs uses your Personally Identifiable Information to help us provide you with personalized content, advertising, and commercial messages (collectively, "Content").
Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, BestNursingJobs does not sell, share or otherwise provide any "Personally Identifiable Information" you give to us with any Business Partner without your consent, which may be obtained through an opt-in request (see Use of Personally Identifiable Information by Business Partners below), unless required by law, court order or as required to technically operate the service, or to complete a transaction or order.
BestNursingJobs does reserve the right to share your Personally Identifiable Information within the Site, with its parent, subsidiary or affiliated entities ("affiliated entities" are those companies owned or controlled by BestNursingJobs's parent company), and with its Co-Branded Business Partners as described above.

Use of Personally Identifiable Information by Other Users:

Other Users will be able to view the information that you provide on your Profile.

Other Users may choose to contact you. However, to ensure your privacy, BestNursingJobs will not display or give out your email address or any other contact information to other Users on the site. We have developed a process that uses a "double-blind" email system, which hides the email addresses of both the sender and recipient of email messages to protect the privacy of both the sender and receiver. When using the process on the site, it is up to you to choose when you are comfortable disclosing your email address, or any other contact information, to others through private communications.

Similarly, you may contact other Users on the site, and BestNursingJobs will hide your email address by using the "double-blind" email process on the site.

Use of Your Personally Identifiable Information by BestNursingJobs's Business Partners:

Contracted employers using BestNursingJobs to send their jobs to you may receive your contact information (name and email address) from another User on BestNursingJobs, from one of their employees participating in a BestNursingJobs referral campaign, or by using other means outside the context of BestNursingJobs, such as their own database of resumes or a third party database. In all cases, the employer using BestNursingJobs to contact you is subject to this Privacy Policy. You may at any time choose to opt out of receiving further communication from BestNursingJobs. However, even if BestNursingJobs blocks further use of your contact information, BestNursingJobs cannot prevent employers who have obtained your name and email address independently from BestNursingJobs from contacting you directly. BestNursingJobs recommends contacting the employer directly if you wish to opt-out of further communication.
In order to provide other offers of particular interest to you, BestNursingJobs may share demographic, geographic, and other Personally Identifiable Information with its Business Partners with your explicit consent (opt-in).

PLEASE NOTE: The privacy practices of advertisers and other companies who provide services or advertising through our site are not covered by this privacy Policy. Please contact those companies directly for more information about their privacy practices. If you wish to prevent those companies from setting cookies on your browser, you may set your browser to refuse cookies or to warn you before setting a cookie. Disabling cookies set by companies whose products or services are advertised on this site may affect your ability to use this site.

It is possible that as we continue to develop the BestNursingJobs Service and business, BestNursingJobs and/or related assets may be acquired. In such a transaction, customer information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.

Security

This site has industry standard security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and integrity of the information under our control.

Opt-Out/Correct/Delete/Deactivate

You may elect not to receive future communications from BestNursingJobs or to discontinue use of our Service. If you are a registered User, please log in and visit your account settings page and uncheck the box related to sending information to you via email. You may also contact us.

If you have previously made contact (by expressing interest in a job, or participating in communication, or referring someone else for a job) with BestNursingJobs business partners, you must independently opt-out of communications from that individual company.

Individuals who wish to deactivate their BestNursingJobs account may do so. Removed information may persist in backup or cached copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally available to any User of BestNursingJobs.

BestNursingJobs allows its Users the option to change information previously provided within your account.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our customers or web site Users.
