IEEE Job Site
SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
For Job Seekers

THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH BELOW SUPPLEMENT AND MODIFY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE IEEE WEB SITE WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF THE IEEE JOB SITE SERVICE. THE IEEE JOB SITE SERVICE IS OPERATED SEPARATELY FROM ALL OTHER IEEE SITES AND SERVICES AND HAS DIFFERENT INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE PRACTICES. YOUR USE OF THE IEEE JOB SITE SERVICE IS CONDITIONED UPON YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THE IEEE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS MODIFIED BY THESE SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

You should read the IEEE Terms and Conditions (the "Terms and Conditions") and these supplemental terms and conditions (these "Supplemental Terms and Conditions") carefully. By clicking the "Accept" button, you affirmatively agree to abide by the Terms and Conditions as modified by these Supplemental Terms and Conditions with respect to the IEEE Job Site Service (the "IEEE Job Site Service"). As used below, the terms "You" and "User" mean any IEEE member who activates a personal user account on the IEEE Job Site Service.

Any capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Terms and Conditions.

1. Privacy

Types of Information Collected

In connection with your use of the IEEE Job Site Service, we ask for and may collect information from and about you in different ways and at different points on the service. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you). First, in order to participate in the IEEE Job Site Service, you must join the IEEE. When you join the IEEE, the IEEE collects certain personally identifiable information, including your name, address (physical and email), and general educational and professional background ("Member Information"). [If you have instructed the IEEE to not include your Member Information in its mailing lists or membership directory, your opt-out will not apply to sharing within the IEEE Job Site Service if you sign up for Job Site.] Second, to begin using the IEEE Job Site Service, you will be asked to register by opening a personal user account. Through the online registration form certain information, including job type, salary range and desired location of employment ("Registration Information") is collected. An asterisk indicates which information is mandatory in order to complete the registration process. Third, if you choose to submit information for a particular job posting, you may be asked to complete a more extensive employer-specific questionnaire (an "Employer Questionnaire") to provide additional information to fine-tune your qualifications and candidacy for that specific job posting ("Candidacy Information"). Your Membership Information, Registration Information and Candidacy Information are collectively referred to below as your "Employment Information."

Use of Information

By the Job Seeker

Once you have activated your IEEE Job Site personal user account, the IEEE submits your Registration Information to the IEEE Job Site profiling engine to attempt to match your information with available job postings. Upon a match of your Registration Information with a job posting, the IEEE will notify you via email if you have elected to receive such notifications. Upon reviewing a job posting, your Employment Information will be forwarded to that potential employer only if you click on the "Submit" button, thereby instructing the IEEE to forward the Employment Information to the potential employer.

By the Potential Employer

The IEEE has granted potential employers the right to run searches through the IEEE Job Site profiling engine to match their job postings with job seekers’ Registration Information. No personally identifiable information is released to these potential employers during these searches, and potential employers are not able to contact job seekers through this portion of the IEEE Job Site Service. If you instruct the IEEE to share your Employment Information with a potential employer, the potential employer has agreed to treat that information as confidential and to not disclose it to any third party without your prior written consent.

Third Parties

The IEEE has contracted with CareerCast, a third party Application Service Provider to implement and host the IEEE Job Site Service. Information collected from you and potential employers will be stored on CareerCast's server and processed through its profiling engine. [CareerCast is not permitted to disclose your personally identifiable information to any third party.]

Disclosure of Information

Your Employment Information is released only when you choose to do so, and your information is only released to the potential employer who posted the job to which you are responding. Once your Employment Information has been forwarded to a potential employer, all correspondences are directly between you and that potential employer. Employers have agreed to not disclose your Employment Information to third parties.

As a user of the IEEE Job Site Service, you may restrict distribution of your Employment Information by indicating such restrictions in your account. The IEEE will not send unsolicited promotional messages (as opposed to administrative messages) to users of the IEEE Job Site Service who indicate that they do not wish to receive such messages.

As indicated above, you will be informed at each collection point what information is required and what information is optional. If the IEEE Job Site Service matches your Registration Information with a particular job posting, you will be notified by email only if you have chosen to receive such notifications. You may opt out of receiving email notifications at any time.

Access

You can access your Employment Information by logging into your account by using your name and password at http://www.ieee.org/jobs. Once there, you can modify and delete any part of your Employment Information.

You agree to not delete or revise any Content posted by any other person or entity. If you take any of the prohibited actions described above, or if the IEEE has reasonable grounds to suspect that you have taken any of the prohibited actions described above, the IEEE may suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current and future use of the IEEE Job Site Service.

The IEEE may terminate or suspend your ability to access the IEEE Job Site Service and its Content and any other service the IEEE may provide to you at any time for any reason, with or without notice.

3. Only a Venue; Disclaimers

IEEE Job Site is only a venue. IEEE Job Site acts as a venue for employers to post job opportunities and candidates to post resumes and does not screen or censor the listings offered. The IEEE is not involved in the actual transaction between employers and candidates. As a result, neither the IEEE nor its agents have control over the quality, safety or legality of the jobs or resumes posted, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to candidates or the ability of candidates to fill job openings. In addition, note that there are risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with strangers, foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretenses. You assume all risks associated with dealing with other users whom you come in contact through the IEEE Job Site Service.

The IEEE does not review or confirm the accuracy of any Content, personally identifiable information or job postings on the IEEE Job Site Service, but reserves the right to review and reject any information it believes to be contrary to the Terms and Conditions or these Supplemental Terms and Conditions. The IEEE reserves the right to remove any Content, personally identifiable information or job postings, deactivate any account, or otherwise terminate access to the IEEE Job Site Service for violation of any of the Terms and Conditions or these Supplemental Terms and Conditions, or if otherwise compelled by court order. The IEEE does not endorse or sponsor in any way the activities, products, services or policies of any person or company which posts information on, or which serves as part of, the IEEE Job Site Service. The IEEE accepts no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any Content posted, or the hiring practices or policies of potential employers.
