NYU CareerNet Privacy Policy
The Wasserman Center for Career Development web-based software
program known as "NYU CareerNet" is part of the NACElink web site,
owned and operated by the National Association of Colleges and Employers
(NACE). Both The NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development and NACE are
committed to maintaining the privacy of personal information for users ("you" or "user")
of NACElink ("Site"). Since we do collect certain types of information
about our users and, in this privacy statement, we will describe the terms
and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information including
what we collect, how we use it, and how users can make changes.
Employers use NACElink to post employment opportunities directly
on NACElink.com, through The NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development
web site, DirectEmployers Association's web site, or through NACE's web site,
NACEWeb, where there is a direct link to NACElink. NYU is a NACElink Custom
School and uses NACElink to provide a web-based system for job posting, resume
data base, registration, and interview scheduling for its job seekers and
for the employers who recruit on campus.
Students/alumni use NACElink though their college/university
career centers to post resumes and review job opportunities.
NACE's commitment to all users—schools, employers, and
students/alumni—is that NACE will maintain the confidentiality of all
information collected on NACElink and NACE will not sell, transmit, or disclose
in any fashion this information to any other organization.
NACElink is the host server, storing and maintaining the data.
NACE also has a partner, DirectEmployers Association, which will provide
backup hosting services to NACE's servers. NACE and DirectEmployers Association
only have access to the data in aggregate form.
How Will NACE or the NYU’s Wasserman Center for Career
Development Use Personally Identifiable Information Collected?
Student/Alumni Jobseekers
NACE receives and collects personally identifiable information
about you, a student/alumni user, (name, contact information, demographic
information, academic history, G.P.A, employment history, etc.) from you
via NACElink after you subscribe for services and when you upload resumes,
cover letters, and other documents which contain personal information.
The NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development may access
some of the job seeker's personal information to send e-mail to a job seeker
using communication tools on the Site, to publish resumes in the school's
resume book(s) on the Site, and to send resumes to employers on behalf of
a student/alumni.
Employers/search firms that use NACElink directly through NACElink
or through The NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development will have access
to your resume, if submitted by you to a resume book, individual job listing,
or NYU InterviewNet, and the personal information contained therein for recruiting,
interviewing, and hiring purposes. NACE and The NYU Wasserman Center for
Career Development are not responsible for what they do with personal information
about you that is available or accessible to them on this Site. While NACE
and The NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development endeavor to restrict
access to this data base to eligible employers, NACE cannot guarantee that
other parties will not, without our consent, gain access to the data base.
Employers
The NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development and NACE will
collect information from employers utilizing the Site. This information includes
contact information (such as your phone number or e-mail address), unique
identifiers (such as your NACE membership or account numbers, or password
to NACElink); and financial information (such as a credit card number), and
demographic information (for example, location, type of organization, size
of organization). The financial information collected will be used only to
bill your organization for fees associated with multi-school listings or
other NACElink services. NACE has a contract with VeriSign to verify credit
card numbers. Your credit card information will be deleted as soon as the
transaction is completed and will not be stored on NACE's or DirectEmployers's
servers. You will need to re-enter that information each time there is a
new financial transaction.
NACE will receive and collect from employers job postings (including
job descriptions, employment qualifiers, and salary information) and interview
schedules posted either directly through NACElink, through the DirectEmployers
Association web site, or through the Wasserman Center for Career Development'
web site.
Technical Issues
Updating Account Information
NACElink allows you to change or correct your personal information
at any time. To do so, simply login to your account, go to your profile,
and you will find options for editing the information.
Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses and Aggregated User Data
NACE collects IP addresses from all users of the Site, and
collects and monitors other data and information about the activities of
our users on the Site collectively. We only use such data anonymously and
in the aggregate.
Cookies
Cookies, which are small text files recorded in a user's hard
drive, are employed by thousands of sites to enhance users' web viewing experience.
Cookies cannot damage user files, nor can they read information from a user's
hard drive. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users,
although they do identify a user's computer. Cookies allow sites to "remember" users
across pages of a site and across multiple visits to a site. However, when
you use NACElink, it will set a cookie while you are on the site. Once you
log out of the site or close your browser window the cookies are deleted.
Thus, NACElink will not be storing information as to the number of times
that you used the site and you will have to log in each time that you use
NACElink.
Security
NACE takes precautions to protect the user's information. When
users submit sensitive information via the web site, the information is protected
both online and off-line. When students/alumni submit resumes or information
about their academic record that information is encrypted and protected.
In addition, the job seeker and employer data is password protected,
so only the user can access this information. All personally identifiable
information NACE collects about you is stored in limited-access servers.
NACElink has technical, administrative, and physical security measures and
safeguards in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of
the information under NACE's control. This site uses firewalls to protect
from loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
NYU has associated itself with NACE and NACElink in order to
provide improved career services to NYU students and alumni. Many of the
provisions contained in this Statement are based upon representations made
by NACE and NACElink. While NYU believes that NACE and NACElink provide a
valuable service to our NYU job seeking community, NACE and NACElink are
not related to NYU. Therefore, NYU cannot guarantee nor does it otherwise
accept responsibility for any portion of this Statement that depends upon
NACE's representations and its compliance with those representations.
