BY SUBMITTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO US, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THE COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IN THE UNITED STATES AND TO OUR USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND ANY RELATED INFORMATION IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY, INCLUDING THE TRANSMISSION TO, AND STORAGE AND PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION BY THIRD PARTIES OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.

The Data We Collect

In general, you can browse parts of the Services without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. However, we collect your computer’s or mobile device’s IP address, which you necessarily disclose when you use the Service, so that data (such as the content you selected) can be sent to your computer or device. The Service may utilize “cookies,” which are files placed on your computer the Services may use to store data on your computer or send data to our servers. We may use cookie data to “recognize” you when you use the Service in the future, to troubleshoot how the Service operates, and for internal analysis of how people use the Service. Should you decide not to accept cookies from the Service, you will limit the functionality we can provide when you visit and use the Service. We may use standard Internet technology, such as web beacons and other similar technologies, to track your use of the Service.

When you engage in certain activities on the Service, such as applying for a job, sending us your resume or biographical information, sending us information about your business or staffing requirements, or providing feedback on the Service, we may ask you to provide personal and other information. In order to engage in such activities, you will be required to provide information that lets us know the specifics of who you are, such as your first name, last name, e-mail address, phone number, and other information. If such information is required to provide services to you or where it is optional for you to engage in these activities and if you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you may not be able to engage in that activity and we may not be able to assist you in connection with our services or fulfill the purpose for which you contacted us, or you may limit your ability to use all or a portion of the Service.

Use of the Data We Collect

We use personal information to provide and improve our products and services, including the Service, for purposes in our legitimate interests and for compliance with applicable laws.

We process personal information on the basis that it is: (a) necessary for the performance of a contract we have with you; (b) in our or a third parties’ legitimate interests such as a contract with our client which we are required to deliver products or services; (c) where you give us your consent; or (d) for compliance with a legal obligation.

We may use your IP address to: (i) help diagnose problems with the Service, administer and improve the Service, and measure the use of the Service; (ii) identify the type of web browsers used, the pages viewed, the web sites from which a visitor found this Service, and the search terms and search engines used to find this Service; and (iii) gather other web analytics information relating to visitors’ use and navigation of the Service. This information does not identify you personally. On occasion we may aggregate this data with data on the pages visited by other users to track overall visitor traffic patterns and provide this aggregate information to vendors, business partners, or affiliates.

The information we obtain using standard Internet technology, such as web beacons and other similar technologies, enables us to customize the services we offer visitors to our Service, to deliver targeted content, and to measure the overall effectiveness of our online content, advertising, or programming or other activities.

We may use your personal information for particular activities, including, without limitation, responding to your inquiries, marketing and research, developing and displaying content tailored to your interests, providing promotional and other information to you, and to contact you regarding administrative notices. We may share this information with our affiliated entities, vendors, marketing partners, and other parties with whom we collaborate. In addition, if we use service providers, these service providers may have access to your personal information to perform contractually specified services on our behalf.

When possible, we may use the information you provide in an anonymous or aggregated format that does not identify you personally, which uses might include, without limitation, to evaluate existing products, services, and systems; to assist in the development of new products or services; research; advertising; and to identify trends and changes.

We may also disclose personal information in any of the following circumstances: (a) in response to a subpoena, search warrant, court order, or other legal process or request, or as may otherwise be required by law, rule, or regulation; (b) to protect and defend our rights or property or those of our affiliates or business partners, or others; or (c) as we, in our sole discretion, believe is appropriate under exigent circumstances in response to a perceived threat to the personal safety, property, or rights of any person or organization.

In addition, since our database is a business asset, in the event we are reorganized or become part of another organization, you consent to the sale, assignment, or transfer of your personal information to a successor that acquires substantially all of our business assets, or to an affiliate, as applicable.

Security and Accuracy of Personal Information

We take the security of personal information seriously and we take what we believe to be reasonable precautions and have implemented certain safeguards to protect the security of data and personal information. We may transmit your personal data to third parties outside the United States for storage or processing. We will attempt to ensure that your personal information will be subject to appropriate safeguards and that it is processed and secured in accordance with applicable law. However, we cannot guarantee against any loss, misuse, unauthorized disclosure, or alteration or destruction of data or personal information. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to or from the Service, by email or otherwise, and you provide such information at your own risk. You acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations in computer systems and on the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through the Service, including personal information, cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with by a third party while such information or data is being used, transmitted, processed, or stored. Data collected will be kept accurately, and kept up to date, if applicable. Any errors in data will be rectified as soon as the error becomes known to us. If you become aware of an error, please notify us at houndhunch@gmail.com.

Our Relationship to Social Networks or Other Websites

Any collection, use and management of personal information by social networks, including Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat (collectively, the “Social Networks”) are governed by their respective privacy policies and terms of use. We recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies and terms of use for the Social Networks.

The Service may contain links to other websites and content or interactive elements that are provided by Social Networks and some functionality on the Service is provided, in whole or in part, by a third-party service provider, including especially Social Networks and APIs provided by other third parties. You can usually identify such third-party functionality by the use of a trademark not owned by us on or near the functionality. In that case, when you use the functionality, you become subject to the terms of use and privacy policy of this third party in addition to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use of our Service. In some cases, you may need to visit that party’s web site and locate the terms of use and privacy policy.

How Long We Keep Personal Information

We retain personal information in accordance with any records retention policy or program we may implement from time to time. We will retain personal information for the length of time necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected the personal information or to demonstrate we have fulfilled our duties or obligations, or for retention periods required by applicable law or in which claims may be made or the existence of legal proceedings.
