This Privacy Policy applies to information collected on our website located at https://opportunityatwork.org/, the Stellarwox Platform located at https://www.stellarworx.org/ (“Sx”), any current or future associated mobile application, and any other online property under our control that links to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Website”). 

O@W collects and stores certain information from or about you that can be used to uniquely contact, identify, or locate you (“Personal Information“).

What Information Do We Collect? 

O@W collects information, including Personal Information about you from a variety of sources, including information that you provide directly to us when you contact us, provide a resume, apply for a job, sign-up for an account and create a profile, and information that we automatically collect about you when you access and use the Website.

Information Collected Automatically.  We collect information automatically from you when you visit and use the Website.  Such information includes the following:

Usage information.  We collect information about how you interact with the Website to operate and improve the Website. This includes information such as the dates and times that you visit the Website, the page you view, referring / exit URLs, and your browser type. In some cases, we collect this information through cookies and similar technologies. To learn more about these technologies, please see the Cookies section below.

Cookies and Usage Reports

By placing a small file known as a “cookie” on your computer (or other device), O@W’s and its third party service providers’ servers passively gather information about all visitors’ use of the Website for several reasons, including, but not limited to, the following: statistics collection and analysis, Website optimization, analytics, and maintenance of user login information. The information that we and our third party service providers track with cookies includes, but is not limited to, the type of browser (such as Google Chrome or Internet Explorer) and Internet-connected devices being used to access the Website, your Internet protocol (“IP”) address, your home domain or Internet service provider, your referrer URL (which is the URL for the website that you were viewing prior to visiting the Website), how you were directed to the Website, which specific pages you access on the Website, how long you view each page, the time and date you access our Website and the total number of visitors to the Website and any portions thereof.  We, and/or our third party service providers, may use the information collected from cookies or similar files on your computer for security purposes (such as authentication), to facilitate site navigation and to personalize your experience while visiting the Website. This data helps us and our third party service providers improve our respective products and services.

Most popular Internet browser applications will allow you to configure the browser so as not to accept cookies. However, setting your browser to reject cookies may, in certain instances, prevent you from taking full advantage of the Website (or some portion thereof) and its capabilities, or cause some features of the Website to function improperly or more slowly. 

 

Google Analytics 

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, in order to better understand your use of the Website and how we can improve it.  Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit a website, what pages you visit when you do so, and what other websites you used prior to coming to such website.  Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit a website, rather than your name or other directly identifying information.  We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with your Personal Information.  Although Google Analytics plants a persistent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit a website, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google.  Google Analytics uses its cookie(s) and the information Google Analytics collects to track your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our Website, and other websites.  Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Website is governed by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.  Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of the Website, to prepare reports on its activities, and share them with other Google services.  To more fully understand how Google may use the data it collects on the Website, please review “How Google Uses Information From Sites or Apps That Use Our Services” (located here). 

 

Correspondence

We appreciate your questions and comments about the Website and welcome your messages at support@stellarworx.org. If you correspond with O@W, we may collect information including the content of, and metadata regarding, any correspondence you may provide us.  We may share your messages with those within our organization who are most capable of addressing the issues contained in your message. We may archive your message for a certain period of time or discard it.

How Can I Opt-Out of Promotional Correspondence? 

We may send you emails with promotional offers only if you opt-in to receiving such emails.  If you would no longer like to receive information, newsletters or other promotional messages from us, please click the link at the bottom of any such email you receive from us and follow the instructions, or alternatively you may contact us at support@stellarworx.org with the word “UNSUBSCRIBE” or “REMOVE” in the subject line.  Your email address will be removed from our marketing list.  Please allow us a reasonable period of time in order to satisfy your request, as some promotions may already be in process. 

Online Account Management

If you elected to subscribe to certain services available on the Website, including the ability to access any password-protected areas of the Website through your account, you will be required to submit Personal Information for the purpose of verifying your identity and your authority to manage the account. This Personal Information will be used exclusively by us and our third-party service providers for internal use and to respond to your service requests. 

How Do We Use The Information That We Collect?

O@W and our third party service providers (such as hosting, email marketing, and payment processing providers) collect and use the Personal Information that we collect to operate the Website, including to provide certain services and improve the user experience, address Website integrity or security issues, and conduct research and analysis to maintain, protect, develop, and improve the Website, and, additionally, use the information submitted by users as described below or elsewhere in this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service. For example, we use your Personal Information to better connect candidates and jobs. We may send you emails or in-app messages to receive information about job opportunities through the Website.

We retain the Personal Information that we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with the services you requested or to comply with an applicable legal requirement).

Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, O@W will not use, disclose, or transfer your Personal Information unless: 

  1. you expressly authorize O@W to do so,
  2. it is necessary to allow O@W’s service providers, agents, or other third parties to provide products or services for, or to O@W,
  3. it is necessary in order to provide the Website, 
  4. O@W is sending you other information that may be useful to you, 
  5. subject to applicable contractual or legal restrictions, it is disclosed to entities that perform marketing services on O@W’s behalf or to other entities with whom O@W has joint marketing agreements, 
  6. it is necessary to protect the confidentiality or security of your records, 
  7. it is necessary in connection with other business purposes including, without limitation, verifying your identity, investigating complaints about the Website, risk assessment, security, fraud and crime prevention/detection, monitoring, research and analysis, marketing, customer purchasing preferences and trends and dispute resolution,
  8. it is necessary to comply with law enforcement, a governmental mandate, or other legal requirement, if appropriate, for your protection or in connection with an investigation or prosecution of possible unlawful activity,
  9. subject to applicable contractual or legal restrictions, it is necessary in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of O@W or the merger of O@W into another entity or any consolidation, share exchange, combination, reorganization, or like transaction in which O@W is not the survivor, or 
  10. it is otherwise necessary for O@W to disclose it as required or permitted by law.

With Whom Do We Share Information That We Collect?

If you are a candidate, employers and other professionals will be able to see your Personal Information that you have submitted and is associated with you as an applicant. We may also disclose Personal Information to your employer, if you are using our Website under a corporate account.

For any purchases that you make, it will be necessary for us to share some of your Personal Information with the third party payment processors in order to process your requested transaction.

We may also disclose Personal Information if we become subject to a subpoena or court order, or if we are otherwise legally required to disclose information. We may also use and disclose Personal Information to establish or exercise our legal rights, to enforce the Terms of Service, to assert and defend against legal claims, or if we believe such disclosure is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding actual or suspected illegal or fraudulent activities or potential threats to the physical safety or well-being of any person.

It is possible that our organizational structure might change or that we might combine with another organization. In any such transactions, customer information generally is, and should be expected to be, one of the transferred business assets. Also, if any bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization proceeding is brought by or against us, your information may be considered a company asset that may be sold or transferred to third parties.

What Choices Do You Have?

When submitting information, corresponding, making requests for information, and otherwise interacting with O@W and its representatives through or in connection with the Website, you generally choose what information to supply or submit, whether you wish to receive further information, and how you may be contacted. Please take care to share only such information as is needed or that you believe is appropriate. Any promotional email we send to you will contain a link that will allow you to opt out of receiving any further correspondence. If you have created an online account, you may also change your correspondence preferences by logging into your account. You may disable your online account access at any time.  [Note to O@W: Please confirm whether users have the ability to change their preferences in this manner.]

How Do We Protect Information Collected About You?

O@W takes commercially reasonable measures to secure and protect information transmitted via or stored on the Website. Nevertheless, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee that information that users of the Website may happen to transmit or otherwise supply will be totally secure. You agree to immediately notify us of any breach of the Website’s security, this Privacy Policy, or the Terms of Service of which you become aware.

Linked Websites

For your convenience, some hyperlinks may be posted on the Website that link to other websites not under our control. We are not responsible for, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to, the privacy practices of those sites or of any companies that we do not own or control. We cannot be responsible for the privacy practices of any such websites or pages not under our control and we do not endorse any of those websites or pages, the services or products described or offered on such sites or pages, or any of the content contained on those sites or pages. We encourage you to seek out and read the privacy policy of each website that you visit. In addition, should you happen to initiate a transaction on a website that our Website links to, even if you reached that site through the Website, the information that you submit to complete that transaction becomes subject to the privacy practices of the operator of that linked website. You should read that website’s privacy policies to understand how Personal Information that is collected about you is used and protected.

User-Provided Content

Any information, communications, or material of any type or nature that you submit to the Website by e-mail, posting, messaging, uploading, downloading, or otherwise (collectively, a “Submission(s)”) is done at your own risk and without any expectation of privacy.  We cannot control the actions of other users of the Website and we are therefore not responsible for any Submissions contained on the Website. 

Additionally, in the event that we offer a message board or any other interactive or social-type feature on the Website, please be aware that these areas may allow you to post, and share with other users, certain messages, content, or other information.  We encourage you to be wary of giving out any Personal Information, or any Personal Information of others to which you may access, in such forums. The information you post can be collected and used by other people. We cannot guarantee the privacy and safety of these areas and are therefore not responsible for any information you choose to post. Your use of these features is fully at your own risk. 

Social Media Platforms and Websites 

Any Submission that you submit to any of our pages contained on a social media platform or website by e-mail, posting, messaging, uploading, downloading, or otherwise is done at your own risk and without any expectation of privacy.  We cannot control the actions of other users of a social media platform and we are therefore not responsible for any Submissions contained on a social media platform or website. 

Children

You may not use the Website if you are under the age of 13. If we discover that we have collected Personal Information from someone under the age of 13, then we will immediately erase that information.

Please note, we may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement. If you are accessing Sx as a representative of an employer, we may not honor your requests to the extent they violate our agreement with your employer.

Subject to applicable data protection laws, you may have the right to access, update, and correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information. Typically, these rights should be exercised with our partners that help support Sx rather than directly with us.

We may change this Privacy Policy at any time and from time to time.  The most recent version of the Privacy Policy is reflected by the effective date located at the top of this Privacy Policy. All such updates and amendments are effective immediately upon notice thereof, which we may give by any means, including, but not limited to, by posting a revised version of this Privacy Policy or other notice on the Website.
