Overview
KNOXX™ and its subsidiaries and divisions (collectively, “KNOXX™", “We" or “Our") has drafted its Privacy Policy to
ensure that you can clearly understand our data and security practices and policies as you use KNOXX™ websites and
Apps (the “Sites"). This Privacy Policy describes the types of Personal Information we collect, how we use the
information, with whom we share it, and the choices you can make about our collection, use and disclosure of your
Personal Information. The phrase “Personal Information" refers to information that personally identifies you, such
as your name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card number or other billing information. We also
describe the measures we take to protect the security of your Personal Information and how you can contact us about
our privacy practices. This Privacy Policy incorporates by reference the Terms and Conditions
for the Sites, which
apply to this Privacy Policy. When you visit the Sites or provide us with information, you consent to our use and
disclosure of the information we collect or receive as described in this Privacy Policy.
Please review this Privacy Policy periodically as we may update it from time to time without prior notice to reflect
changes in our data practices. We will post a prominent notice on our Sites to notify you of any significant changes
to our Privacy Policy and indicate at the bottom of the notice when it was most recently updated. If we make
material changes to the policy that will affect previously collected Personal Information, you will be notified and
asked to consent to the updated Privacy Policy.

below.
If we seek to use the information we obtain about you in other ways, we will provide specific notice and request
your consent at the time of collection.
Information we share
When you apply for a job through the Sites or publicly post your video, photo and/or resume to our resume
database, employers will have access to information about you and your potential interest in employment
opportunities. Those employers may use your information to contact you directly. Additionally, when you apply for
a job through the Sites, the information supplied by you becomes part of the KNOXX™ database but also may become
part of the employer’s database. Similarly, if your resume is downloaded by an employer, your resume may become a
part of the employer’s database. In these instances, the use of such information by the employer will be subject
to the privacy policy of that company, and we are not responsible for that company’s use of your information.
Additionally, we may combine certain non-personally identifiable Aggregate Data about our users and use such
anonymous Aggregate Data to prepare reports for our users (typically employers or educators). “Aggregate Data” is
the demographic information (such as zip code, age, gender, race or ethnicity) and employment information (such as
occupation, education and experience) of many individuals that is combined together. Aggregate Data is used to
analyze the characteristics of various populations and does not identify any specific individuals.
Other than instances where users opt to publicly post their Personal Information to our candidate database,
provide it via a job application, include it in a job posting or otherwise provide permission to share it, we do
not sell our users' Personal Information to anyone for any reason. When posting jobs and candidate profiles, our
users decide for themselves how much contact information they wish to display. All users should be aware, however,
that when they choose to display or distribute Personal Information (such as their email address or other contact
information on a public resume) via the Sites or any other distribution method, that information can be collected
and used by others. This may result in unsolicited messages, for which KNOXX™ is not responsible, from third
parties.
Where you have provided Personal Information on a Site that is ‘hosted’ or ‘co-branded’ by another company then
that information will be made available to both KNOXX™ and the hosting/co-branding company. KNOXX™ is not
responsible for what the hosting/co-branding company, or any third party with whom you may share your Personal
Information, subsequently does with your information. You should review the privacy policy of the
hosting/co-branding company to ensure that you are comfortable with how it intends to use and disclose your
information.
We also may share Personal Information with our service providers who help us in the delivery of our own products
and services to you. These service providers may only use or disclose the information as necessary to perform
services on our behalf or as otherwise required by law.
KNOXX™ also may disclose specific user information when we determine, in good faith, that such disclosure is
necessary to comply with the law, to cooperate with or seek assistance from law enforcement, to prevent a crime or
protect national security, or to protect the interests or safety of KNOXX™ or other users of the Sites.
In addition, Personal Information we have collected may be passed on to a third party in the event of a transfer of
ownership or assets or a bankruptcy or other corporate reorganization of KNOXX™.
Profile Privacy Options
Posting your profile on the Sites puts you in front of many employers with open positions each day. When you post
your profile, we automatically create a registration for you using the email address and password that you supply.
When you return to the Sites in the future you will use that same email address and password to access and edit your
existing profile.
We know that our candidates have varying levels of comfort when it comes to posting their profile on the Internet.
To
accommodate the needs of all users, KNOXX™ has 2 levels of profile privacy from which you can choose. Please note
that
these privacy settings only apply to whether or not your profile can be viewed by third parties. KNOXX™ will still
collect, use or disclose anonymous, aggregated information about you and your visits to our website in the manner
described in this Privacy Policy.
- Open Posting - Searchable
This option gives you the most visibility to the broadest employer audience possible by making your profile
searchable in our resume database. If you select this option, any registered employer user who purchases access
to
the database can view your profile and contact details (to the extent you include them in your profile).
- Private Posting – Non-Searchable
This option allows you to create and post your profile on the Sites without having it searchable by or openly
viewable to employers. This option allows you to discreetly screen opportunities and connect only with employers
that have opportunities that interest you by authorizing only companies you select to view your profile.
We attempt to limit access to our searchable resume database to legitimate users such as paying employers,
recruiters, hiring managers, headhunters and human resource professionals, but cannot guarantee that other parties
will not gain access to this database. We cannot control the use of resumes by third parties who access such resumes
while they are in our searchable database. You may remove your profile from our searchable database at any time.
However, employers, recruiters and others who have paid for access to that database, as well as parties who have
otherwise gained access to the database may have retained a copy of your resume in their own files or databases. We
cannot control the retention, use or privacy of resumes or profiles that have been downloaded by third parties.
Accordingly, you should not put information you would not want made public in your profile.
Cookies and Third-party Advertisers
A “cookie" is a text file that websites send to a visitor‘s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely
identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon," is also called a
Web bug or a pixel tag or a clear GIF. Used in combination with cookies, a Web beacon is an often-transparent
graphic image, usually no larger than 1 pixel x 1 pixel that is placed on a Web site or in an e-mail that is used to
monitor the behavior of the user visiting the Web site or sending the e-mail.
KNOXX™ uses cookies and other similar technologies for the convenience of our users. Cookies enable us to serve
secure pages to our users without asking them to sign in repeatedly. KNOXX™ also uses cookies to store
non-personally identifying information about you such as past jobs viewed and job searches conducted by your
computer in a cookie that it places on your computer. We do this in order to present you with job recommendations
based on your interests as expressed previously through your searches. Lastly, KNOXX™ uses cookies to ensure the
proper functioning and efficiency of our Sites. Most Internet browsers enable you to erase cookies from your
computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please be aware, however,
that some KNOXX™ features or services may not function properly without cookies.
KNOXX™ may permit third party cookies on its Sites. For example, third party tools located on the Sites, including
those that allow for social media sharing, may use cookies to remember user preference settings. KNOXX™ may also use
web analytics services provided by third parties, which use cookies to collect non-personal information about
details of our users’ visits to the Sites (including IP addresses) and the resources they access on the Sites. These
third party web analytics services provide us with reports based on this information in order to help us understand
how visitors engage with the Sites.
We may use third-party advertising companies who may place or access cookies on your computer hard drive to
distinguish your web browser uniquely and to keep track of information relating to serving ads on your web browser,
such as the type of ads shown and the webs pages on which the ads appeared. These companies may use information
about your visits to these Sites and to other sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of
interest to you on our Sites or on other, third party, sites. We also may give third party advertisers the ability
to tailor their advertisements on our Sites using demographic and preference information we provide to them in
aggregate form. This information does not identify you individually.
These companies operate under their own privacy policies and KNOXX™ encourages you to be aware of the privacy
policies of such companies. KNOXX™ does not have control over or access to any information contained in the cookies
that are set on your computer by third party advertisers.
In addition, some of the employers that use our Sites may place cookies on your computer through their job postings
and may use such cookies to distinguish your web browser uniquely. Often, employers use such information to track
the effectiveness of their job postings by measuring how many users who view their postings later became job
applicants.
Update Your Account Information
You may access, update and amend Personal Information included in your online account at any time by logging into
your account and making the necessary changes.
Links to Other Websites
Our Sites may contain links to other sites for your convenience and information. These sites may be operated by
companies not owned by KNOXX™. These other sites or linked third-party sites may have their own privacy notices,
which you should review if you visit those sites. We are not responsible for the content of any sites not owned by
KNOXX™, any use of those sites, or those sites’ privacy practices.
How We Protect Personal Information
KNOXX™ maintains administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to assist us in protecting the Personal
Information we collect against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access,
disclosure or use.
Please note that no electronic transmission of information can be entirely secure. We cannot guarantee that the
security measures we have in place to safeguard Personal Information will never be defeated or fail, or that those
measures will always be sufficient or effective. Therefore, although we are committed to protecting your privacy, we
do not promise, and you should not expect, that your Personal Information will always remain private. As a user of
the Sites, you understand and agree that you assume all responsibility and risk for your use of the Sites, the
internet generally, and the documents you post or access and for your conduct on and off the Sites.
To further protect yourself, you should safeguard your KNOXX™ account user name and password and not share that
information with anyone. You should also sign off your account and close your browser window when you have finished
your visit to our Sites. Please note that we will never ask for your KNOXX™ account user name or password via
email.
Some Important Tips To Consider When Dealing With Prospective Employers Are:
- You should use your own careful judgment about whether and what information to provide prospective employers.
- DO NOT PUT SENSITIVE INFORMATION, SUCH AS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER OR DATE OF BIRTH IN YOUR
PROFILE AND/OR RESUME!
- KNOXX™’s Sites are open to the public, and we cannot guarantee that all users of our services have a legitimate
need to the information they seek.
- Do not provide your social security number, national identification number or any state, provincial or other
local identification number to a prospective employer via online application. Identity thieves may attempt to
trick you into providing sensitive information. Do not provide any non-work related personal information (i.e.,
your social security number or any other state or national identification number, eye color, marital status, etc.)
over the phone or online.
- Job seekers should never provide credit card or bank numbers to prospective employers or engage in a monetary
transaction of any sort.
- Be cautious when dealing with contacts outside of your own country.
We use secure socket layer (or “SSL") technology to protect credit card transactions. The SSL technology encrypts
credit card numbers while in transit so that they are not intercepted by unintended third parties. We use Stripe to
process credit card purchases and you are encouraged to review their privacy policy as well.
California, USA Residents
California law permits its residents to request and receive information about a business’ disclosure of certain
categories of Personal Information to other companies for their use in direct marketing. If you are a California
resident and a user of any of the Sites, you can request a copy of this information from KNOXX™ by sending a letter
to KNOXX™ at 200 N. Broadway, Suite 100, Wichita Kansas 67202 Attention: Customer Service. Please include your name
and postal address in requests.
Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect or solicit information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are under 13, please do
not use the Sites. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the age
of 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
