Personal Information on Resumes and Profiles
Since RW is a career site, we give you three options regarding the accessibility of your resume:

1. Private: You can store your resume in our database, but not allow it to be searchable by potential employers. Not allowing your resume to be searchable means that you can use it to apply for a job online, but employers and recruiters will not have access to search it through our resume database product.

2. Public: All employers and recruiters searching the database will have the ability to view all information in your account. 

3. Confidential: If you have a confidential resume, your resume will be searchable through our database however employers and recruiters will note be able to see your personal information and will contact you by way of a blind e-mail   

We attempt to limit access to our searchable resume database (or copies thereof) only to paying employers, recruiters, hiring managers, headhunters, and human resource professionals, as well as law enforcement and national security agencies, but cannot guarantee that other parties will not gain access to this database. We are not responsible for the use made of resumes by third parties who access such resumes while they are in our searchable database.

You may remove your resume on RW or delete your RW Profile at anytime, but, employers, recruiters and others who have paid for access to the RW resume database, as well as parties who have otherwise gained access may have retained a copy of your resume or RW Profile in their own files or databases. We are not responsible for the retention, use or privacy of resumes or profiles in these instances.

Use of Cookies
We use "cookies" to help personalize and maximize your online experience and time online. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard drive by a Web page server. Cookies are not used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to your computer, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize RW pages, or register for services, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information (such as user name, password and preferences). Because of our use of cookies, we can deliver faster and more accurate results and a more personalized site experience. When you return to the RW site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized. We also use cookies to track click streams and for load balancing.

You may have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline all cookies if you prefer. Alternatively, you may be able to modify your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis. If you choose to decline cookies, however, that may hinder performance and negatively impact your experience on the RW site.

Use of Web Beacons
RW webpages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) that allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Web beacons are not used to access your personally identifiable information; they are a technique we use to compile aggregated statistics about our Web site usage. Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides.

You may not decline web beacons, however, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.

Third parties are not permitted to use Web beacons on the RW site.

Access to and Modification of Your Information
You may review, correct, update or change your RW Member Profile account information at any time. From your Member Profile you may also opt out of receiving newsletters and certain other information from RW.
 
We retain indefinitely all the information we gather about you in an effort to make your repeat use of the RW site more efficient, practical, and relevant. Of course, you can delete your resume from the RWF online database, close and/or delete your RW account at any time, in which event we will remove all our copies of your resume from the RWF database and your Member Profile account information, except for an archival copy which is not accessible on the Internet.

Security of the Personal Information
We have implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes.

When you place an order online on the RW site, your credit card information is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") protocol. SSL makes it difficult for your credit card information to be intercepted or stolen while being transmitted. We use a service company to process its credit card transactions.
