You may also be permitted to designate an authorized agent to submit certain requests on your behalf. For an authorized agent to be verified, you must provide the authorized agent with signed, written permission to make such requests or a power of attorney. Recruitology may also follow up with you to verify your identity before processing the authorized agent’s request. If you would like further information regarding your legal rights or would like to exercise any of them, please click here or contact Recruitology at datarequests@recruitology.com.
Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to appeal Recruitology’s decision to deny your request. If Recruitology denies your request, Recruitology will provide you with information on how to appeal the decision, if applicable, in Recruitology’s communications with you.
Email marketing. You can unsubscribe from Recruitology marketing emails via the unsubscribe link provided in the emails or by emailing Recruitology at support@recruitology.com.

As explained in the “Other Unaffiliated Third Parties” provision in section 4 above, Recruitology sometimes disclose information (e.g., usage information, online identifiers, and/or hashed email addresses) to unaffiliated third parties that Recruitology collaborate with or that provide online targeted advertising that Recruitology thinks may be of value to you, or that assist Recruitology with analytics. These disclosures may be considered a “sale” or the processing/sharing of personal information for targeted advertising purposes under applicable law.

7. INTERNATIONAL USERS
Please note that Recruitology is located in the United States and provides the Services, and processes your data, in the United States. Recruitology may subcontract the processing of your data to, or otherwise disclose your data to, service providers and business partners in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States, in accordance with applicable law. Such third parties may be engaged in, among other things, the provision of the Services to you, the processing of transactions, and/or the provision of support services. By providing Recruitology with your information, you acknowledge and agree to any such transfer, storage, or use.
8. ONLINE ADVERTISING
a. Online Advertising
Recruitology may allow third-party advertising technologies (e.g., ad networks and ad servers) on the Services that use cookies and similar technologies to deliver relevant and targeted content and advertising to you on the Services and other websites you visit and applications you use. The ads may be based on various factors such as the content of the page you are visiting, information you provide, your searches, demographic data, and other information Recruitology collect about you. These ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and across other websites and online services and may be tailored to your interests.
Recruitology sometimes also associate cookies with de-identified data linked to or derived from data you have submitted to Recruitology (e.g., your email address) and disclose such information to advertising partners and vendors in hashed, non-human-readable form to provide you with more relevant ads when you visit other websites and mobile applications.
Recruitology does not have access to, and this Privacy Policy does not govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on devices you use to access the Services by non-affiliated third parties. If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your devices to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link to opt out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, visit the Google Ads Settings page. For additional ways to opt out of targeted advertising activities under applicable law, see Section 5 below.
Please note that these opt-outs apply per browser and per device, so you will have to opt out for each device—and each browser on each device—through which you access the Services.
b. Notice Concerning Do Not Track.
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that is available in certain web browsers. Recruitology is committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on the Services for third party purposes and provide information on how to opt-out where possible above. However, Recruitology does not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. Learn more about Do Not Track. Please note that Do Not Track is a different privacy mechanism than the user “preference signal” referenced in the “Your Rights and Choices” section in Section 5 below, which is a browser-based control that indicates whether you would like to opt out of processing of your information for certain purposes under applicable laws, such as the “sale” of your information or the disclosure of your information for targeted advertising purposes. Please see the “Your Rights and Choices” section in Section 5 for more information.
9. RECRUITOLOGY SECURITY INFORMATION
Recruitology cares greatly about the security of your information. Recruitology has implemented and maintains reasonable security practices and procedures that are appropriate to the nature of the information that Recruitology collects and processes about you.

However, no method of transmission over the internet, and no means of electronic or physical storage, is absolutely secure.

Recruitology will keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above unless a longer retention is required or permitted by law. Recruitology may delete or de-identify your information sooner if Recruitology receives a verifiable deletion request, subject to exemptions under applicable law.
