Veechi Corp. ("Veechi," "we," or "us")
knows that you care how information about you is used and shared. This Privacy
Policy explains what information of yours will be collected by Veechi when you
use SocializedHR.com ("Site") and the "ResuReader" and/or
"SocializedHR" service (collectively, the "Service")
available on this Site how the information will be used, and how you can
control the collection, correction and/or deletion of information. We will not
use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy
Policy. Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to information
submitted and collected online through the Site or the Service, whether
maintained by Veechi or one of our vendors, and does not apply to information
that may be collected by Veechi offline. In addition, this Privacy Policy does
not extend to websites maintained by other companies or organizations to which
we link or which link to us. Because we cannot guarantee that the privacy
policies of such websites meet our standards, we encourage you to read the
privacy policy of any third-party website before you submit any personal
information to that website.
Information We Collect
User-Provided Information: On our Site or through our Service, if you correspond with us by
email, we may retain the content of your email messages, your email address and
our responses. Veechi also allows you to publicly post information on the
Service such as ratings, reviews, or comments ("User Content"), which
Veechi may retain on its servers and/or in its archives. If you use our
employer and recruiter Service, you will be required to provide us information
about yourself, such as your first and last name, company name and company
address, e-mail address, username, password, credit card number when you
register with the Service.
Cookies Information: When you visit the Site, we may
send one or more cookies - a small text file containing a string of
alphanumeric characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your
browser and lets Veechi help you log in faster and enhance your navigation
through the Site. A cookie does not collect personal information about you.
Veechi uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie
remains on your hard drive after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may
be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Site. Persistent cookies
can be removed by following your web browser's directions. A session cookie is
temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web
browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
However, some features of the Service may not function properly if the ability
to accept cookies is disabled.
Log File Information: Log file information is
automatically reported by your browser each time you access a web page. When
you register with or view Site, our servers automatically record certain
information that your web browser sends whenever you visit any website. These
server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol
("IP") address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number
of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such
information.
Clear Gifs Information: When you use the Service, we
may employ clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons) which are used to track the online
usage patterns of our users anonymously. No personally identifiable information
from your Veechi account is collected using these clear gifs. In addition, we
may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which
emails are opened by recipients. The information is used to enable more
accurate reporting, improve the effectiveness of our marketing, and make Veechi
better for our users.
How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information you submit to operate, maintain, and
provide to you the applicable features and functionality of the Service that
you have registered to use.
Any personal information or content that you voluntarily disclose for
posting to those public areas of the Service (for instance, in User Content you
post) becomes available to the public. If you remove User Content, copies may
remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other users have copied or
stored your User Content.
By providing Veechi your email address you consent to our using the
email address to send you Service-related notices, including any notices
required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. You may opt out or
change the frequency of many Service-related communications by editing your
privacy standards on the privacy page. We may also use your email address to
send you other messages, such as newsletters, changes to features of the
Service, or special Veechi offers or promotions. If you do not want to receive
such email messages, you may opt out by sending an email message to support@veechi.com
with the word "No email" in the subject field. Opting out may prevent
you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, offers, or
promotions. We will not sell or provide your personally identifiable
information to others for their own marketing purposes.
Veechi may use certain information about you and/or your User Content
without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for
purposes such as analyzing how the Service is used, diagnosing service or
technical problems, maintaining security, and personalizing advertisements and
promotions.
Veechi reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor the User
Content you post on the Site. Veechi has the right to remove any such
information or material for any reason or no reason, including without
limitation, if in its sole opinion, such information or material violates, or
may violate, any applicable law or our Terms of Use Agreement or to protect or
defend its rights or property or those of any third party. Veechi also reserves
the right to remove information upon the request of any third party.
We use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a) remember
information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the
next time you visit the Site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and
information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our service; (d) monitor
aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors and traffic; (e) diagnose or
fix technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated
with the IP addresses controlled by a specific web Veechi or ISP; and (f) help
you efficiently access your information after you sign in.
How We Share Your Information
Personally Identifiable
Information: Veechi will not rent or sell your personally identifiable information
to others. Veechi may share your personally identifiable information with third
parties, such as our third party service providers, solely for the purpose of
assisting us in providing services to you or sending you messages on our
behalf. If we do this, such third parties' use of your information will be
bound by this Privacy Policy. We may store personal information in locations
outside the direct control of Veechi (for instance, on servers or databases
co-located with hosting providers).
If
you use our ResuReader Service, we may make any resumes (but not any comments
that you have included on or about such resumes or candidates) that you store
in your ResuReader Service account available in our searchable resume database for other legitimate employers to search and view
ninety (90) days after you have uploaded the resume to your account. If you do not wish to allow other
employers to search and view the resumes you have uploaded to the ResuReader
Service, you may opt out by sending an e-mail to support@veechi.com and indicating that you do not wish your resumes to become available
to others.

included on or about such resumes or candidates) that you store in your SocializedHR
Service account or that we provide to you as part of the SocializedHR Service

other legitimate employers to search and view ninety (90) days after such
information is uploaded to, or collected for, your account. If you do not wish to allow other
employers to search and view the candidate information uploaded to, or
collected by, the SocializedHR Service, you may opt out by sending an e-mail to support@veechi.com and indicating that you do not wish your resumes to become available
to others Additionally, as an employer
using our SocializedHR Service, you may request that we block you from viewing
any EEOC or protected class information about a particular candidate. However, Veechi can make no guarantees
that you will not be exposed to such information.
As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business
offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the
transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also
transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or
dissolution. Except as otherwise described in this privacy statement, Veechi
will not disclose personal information to any third party unless required to do
so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a)
conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates,
or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal
activities; (b) to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against
liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims
or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, or to protect the
security or integrity of our Site; and (c) to exercise or protect the rights,
property, or personal safety of Veechi, our users or others.
Non-Personally Identifiable
Information: We may share non-personally identifiable information (such as
anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of
clicks, etc.) with interested third parties to help them understand the usage
patterns for certain Veechi services. Veechi allows other companies, called
third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements on the Site.
These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to
your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on Veechi. They
automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use
other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the
effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising
content.
Veechi does not provide any personally identifiable information to
these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. However,
please note that if an advertiser asks Veechi to show an advertisement to a
certain audience and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or
ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are
trying to reach.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party
ad servers or ad networks. The Veechi privacy policy does not apply to, and we
cannot control the activities of, such advertisers.
We may disclose that your organization has used any Service you have
licensed.
How We Protect Your Information
Veechi uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical
safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information.
We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you
transmit to Veechi and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your
transmission of information, Veechi makes commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a
guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or
destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial
safeguards.
To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as
requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you
access to your account. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your
unique password and account information, and for controlling access to your
email communications from Veechi, at all times.
Compromise of Personal Information
In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a
breach of security, Veechi will promptly notify those persons whose personal
information has been compromised, in accordance with the notification
procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required by
applicable law.

information through Veechi, in which case Veechi may not be able to provide
certain services to you. You may update or correct your account information and
email preferences at any time by logging in to your account. You can review and
correct the information about you that Veechi keeps on file by contacting us
directly at support@veechi.com.
Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For
that reason, Veechi does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information
from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If
you are under 13, please do not send any information about yourself to us,
including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under
age 13 is allowed to provide any personal information to or on Veechi. In the
event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child
under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that
information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any
information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at privacy@veechi.com.
Links to Other Web Sites
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to
or from our Site nor the information or content contained therein. Please
remember that when you use a link to go from our Site to another website, our
Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any
other website, including those that have a link on our Site, is subject to that
website's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies
before proceeding.
Notification Procedures
It is our policy to provide notifications, whether such notifications
are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to
you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous
posting of such notice on our Veechi website page, as determined by Veechi in
its sole discretion. We reserve the right to determine the form and means of
providing notifications to you, provided that you may opt out of certain means
of notification as described in this Privacy Policy.
