About the CDC
Privacy Policy
The
Career Development Center (CDC) is committed to protecting
the privacy of your personal information.
The CDC contracts with the NACElink Network to provide
University of Richmond students with job and internship
listings, on-campus interviewing opportunities, calendar and
document storage services. Please refer to the
NACElink
Privacy Statement (http://www2.nacelink.com/nl_privacy_policy.php)
for technical details and a description of the
NACElink.com
site.
Use of personally identifiable candidate information by the
Career Development Center at the University of Richmond
- Through NACElink, available via the CDC website, students
and registered alumni can post resumes and additional
application materials, view and apply for jobs and
internships, and schedule on-campus interviews. Via
NACElink, students and alumni users will share personally
identifiable information (name, contact information,
demographic information, academic history, GPA, employment
history, etc.) for the purposes listed above. The
information in a candidate’s profile is used by CDC for
job-search advising, promoting programs and services,
notifying candidates of employment and experiential
opportunities, and referring qualified candidates to
employers.
- Resumes are not shared with third parties, such as
employment agencies or search firms.
- Only the resumes of students who have given permission to
have their resumes released to employers are shared with
prospective employers.
- Resumes are selected based on objective,
legally-permissible requirements.
- Employers do not have access to view information or
resumes directly from the CDC database; NACE's commitment to
all users—schools, employers, and students/alumni—is that
NACE will maintain the confidentiality of all information
collected on NACElink Network and NACE will not sell,
transmit, or disclose in any fashion this information to any
other organization.
The CDC may conduct searches on resumes and candidate
profiles to notify candidates of educational or employment
opportunities through email communications. By entering data
into the CDC/NACElink system (SpiderConnect), students and
alumni may have data included in aggregate reports used for
evaluation of employment activities, educational programs,
reports developed for institutional studies, and salary
surveys. NACElink cannot use or sell individual candidate
data. Unlike commercial vendors, NACElink staff cannot look
at individual candidate data.
Employers
The University of Richmond Career Development Center will
collect information from employers utilizing the NACElink
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 Network); 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 Network 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' 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 and
internship postings (including job descriptions, employment
qualifiers, and salary information) and interview schedules
posted either directly through NACElink Network, through the
DirectEmployers Association web site, or through the Career
Development Center web site.
Technical Issues
Updating Account Information
NACElink allows users to change or correct personal
information at any time. To do so, users simply login to
their account, go to their profile and locate 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 users on the site collectively. This data is
used 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
users access NACElink, it will set a cookie while they are
on the site. Once users log out of the site or close their
browser window the cookies are deleted. Thus, NACElink will
not be storing information as to the number of times that a
user visited the site. It will be necessary for users to log
in each time that they wish to access NACElink.
Security
Personally identifiable information is protected both on-
and offline. The data of students, alumni, and employers are
password protected. All personally identifiable information
collected by NACE is stored in limited-access servers.
NACElink has technical, administrative, and physical
security measures and safeguards in place to protect against
the loss, misuse, or alteration of information under NACE’s
control. This site uses firewalls to protect from loss,
misuse, and alteration of the information under its control.
The University of Richmond’s Career Development Center has
associated itself with NACE and NACElink in order to provide
improved services to University of Richmond students and
alumni. Many of the provisions contained in this Statement
are based upon representations made by NACE and NACElink.
While the University of Richmond believes that NACE and
NACElink provide a valuable service to the University of
Richmond job seeking community, NACE and NACElink are not
affiliated with the University of Richmond. Therefore, the
University of Richmond can not 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.
The CDC does not endorse any employer and urges students to
use good judgment in all of their interactions with
employers. The CDC suggests that students request business
references for unknown organizations before interviewing
with them off campus or exploring job opportunities.
Students should never give a potential employer their credit
card, social security numbers, or bank account numbers, and
never spend any of their own money on an employment
“opportunity” unless very certain that it is for a
legitimate reason (such as training costs). The CDC advises
students to interview in public places only.
Students and alumni should contact the Career Development
Center if they have any concerns about the use of their
information. Students and alumni can view, correct or change
their information by logging into their account on the CDC
website.
