Lifesci.jobs, a BioSpace, Inc. company (“Lifesci.jobs”), and BioSpace, Inc. (“BioSpace”) are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our users while providing personalized career management services on our websites. This Privacy Policy describes our practices on the collection, use and disclosure of your information. When used herein, the terms "we," "us," and "our website" refer to lifesci.jobs (the “Website”). Lifesci.jobs provides links to the websites of many other companies to which this policy does not apply. Other than the requirements to which we adhere under the Privacy Shield framework and its accountability for onward transfer of personal information, we cannot, and do not, assume responsibility for the privacy or information policies, practices or actions of any third parties.

We at Lifesci.jobs are committed to good privacy practices regarding your personally identifiable information. We acknowledge and commit to complying with all data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Your loyalty as a jobseeker, customer or visitor is important, and we hope that our concerns regarding your privacy, as described in this policy (the "Privacy Policy" or "Policy"), demonstrate our commitment to making your experience with Lifesci.jobs an enjoyable and satisfying one.

This Privacy Policy governs your interaction with the Sites and your registration for and use of our online services (collectively, the "Services"). Except as set forth within this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use Agreement and other published guidelines, we do not release personally identifiable information about our users and visitors without their permission. This Privacy Policy only applies to information collected by the Sites. Accordingly, we encourage you to review the entire Privacy Policy.

A. The information we gather

Personally identifiable information: In certain areas of the Sites, such as those in which you complete a profile, click to apply for a job, submit your resume, create a new account, or enter Lifesci.jobs-sponsored contests or promotions, we may request that you provide us with certain personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, zip code, phone number, profession, company name, and work experience. We will, in such situations, seek to identify which informational items are required and which are optional. In some instances, we may collect geo-location based information for the purpose of helping identify jobs in your area. We may share this information for the sole purpose of providing you this feature. You may opt-out of location based services by editing the setting at the device level.

We may also keep personally identifiable commercial data, including a record of services purchased through Lifesci.jobs, to ensure service delivery.

Professionals should post profiles and resumes on our Sites only if they wish such information to be viewed and downloaded by Lifesci.jobs employers and recruiters. At any time, job seekers may elect that their profile and resume not be searchable by our customers by logging into their account and changing the status of their profile or, if that is not possible, they may contact us at info@lifesci.jobs and we will make the change for them.

Lifesci.jobs Services are not available to children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 16 years of age. Please note that we cannot control the acts of users of the Services. All members and visitors should be aware that, when they disclose personally identifiable information in a resume or profile or other medium, the information may be collected and used by others to send that person unsolicited email from other parties outside Lifesci.jobs. In the event that you encounter any Lifesci.jobs user who is improperly collecting or using information about you or other users, please contact info@lifesci.jobs

B. How we use the information we gather

Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the different ways we use the information we gather. Lifesci.jobs encourages all third parties involved, including but not limited to its advertisers, to adhere to our policies regarding the privacy of our visitors and users and to otherwise handle personally identifiable information in a responsible manner. Nevertheless, in the event you encounter any third party associated with, or who claims association with Lifesci.jobs, who you feel is improperly collecting or using information about you, please contact info@lifesci.jobs.

1.           How we use non-personally identifiable information: We use non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form to build higher quality, more useful Services by performing statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our visitors and users, and by measuring demographics and interests regarding specific areas of the Services. We may provide statistical information based on this data to advertisers, users, and other current and potential business partners. We may also use the aggregate data to inform these third parties as to the number of people who have seen and clicked through links to their sites.

2.           How we use personally identifiable information: We may use the personally identifiable information a user submits for any purposes related to Lifesci.jobs business, including, but not limited:

User names, identifications ("IDs"), and email addresses (as well as any additional information that a user may choose to post) may be publicly available on the Sites when a user voluntarily and publicly discloses personally identifiable information, such as when a user uses features to send a message to another user, or as part of a message posted to a public forum or a publicly-released software application. Users may not be able to change or remove public postings once posted. Such personally identifiable information may be used by visitors of these pages to send unsolicited messages. Lifesci.jobs is not responsible for any consequences which may occur from the use of personally identifiable information that a user chooses to submit to public pages.

With respect to surveys, in the event that responses are publicly disclosed, users will be notified at the time they take the survey. Lifesci.jobs will disclose only aggregate information regarding its users, i.e., anonymous information that does not identify any specific individual. Circumstances under which Lifesci.jobs would publicly disclose such aggregate information include, but are not limited to, sharing survey results with the Sites' users, providing data to Lifesci.jobs advertisers on user preferences and/or demographics, and publicizing overall usage data in press communications. Where surveys allow users to submit written comments, and where Lifesci.jobs advises users of the possibility of such disclosure at the time they take the survey, Lifesci.jobs reserves the right to disclose any information provided by users, provided that no personally identifiable information identifying a specific user is disclosed. Participation in surveys is at a user's option; Lifesci.jobs does not conduct mandatory surveys.

C. How we share information we gather

Subject to the foregoing, Lifesci.jobs uses your personally identifiable information in several ways. Lifesci.jobs may share your personally identifiable information with service providers to help us with our business activities such as processing credit cards, email and social network marketing, offering customer service, or operating a community forum. These service providers are authorized to use your personally identifiable information only as necessary to provide these services to us.

With respect to job applications and our resume database service, Lifesci.jobs will not disclose your profile or resume on our Sites to prospective employers and recruiters without your consent or to carry out your instructions.

If you "opt in" to receive promotional materials from third parties, information you have made available to us may be made available to third parties who provide goods or services that we believe may be of interest to you. You may "opt out" of receiving such materials at any time in a variety of ways: by using the "opt-out" link included in each email or by contacting us at info@lifesci.jobs. If you have provided more than one email address to our service, you may continue to be contacted, unless you request to unsubscribe each email address you have provided. If you opted in to receive information directly from third parties, then you must contact those third parties directly to opt-out.

In addition, Lifesci.jobs reserves the right to share aggregate information collected from users of the Sites, without prior notice, with entities that are part of the Lifesci.jobs corporate family and unrelated third parties. Aggregate information is used in a collective manner and no single person can be identified by such compiled information.

To provide services to our customers, Lifesci.jobs collects indexed content from a variety of publicly available websites. Indexed content may include personally identifiable information such as posts on blogs. In general, such indexed content is available through standard search engines or by visiting the websites themselves. Lifesci.jobs may append this information to your profile or use this content to create a profile, whether or not an individual has an account with us. If you would like to remove the information we collect, see section I to submit your request. Lifesci.jobs has no ownership rights to the indexed content sourced from third party sites and cannot guarantee that we will not collect information from a publicly available source at a later point in time.

Please note that Lifesci.jobs reserves the right to disclose information submitted by or concerning any visitor or user as we reasonably feel is necessary to protect our systems or business. We may also disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or other legal process, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request. We cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who may be using our servers or Services for illegal activities. We also reserve the right to report any suspected illegal activity to law enforcement for investigation or prosecution, or to suspend or terminate your use of the Services in connection with any suspected illegal or infringing activity or if you are in violation of our Terms of Use Agreement or other published guidelines.

Lifesci.jobs reserves the right to assign, sell, license, or otherwise transfer to a third party your personally identifiable information in connection with an assignment, sale, joint venture, or other transfer or disposition of any portion or all of Lifesci.jobs 's or its affiliated entities' assets or stock.

D. Tracking Technologies

Technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags and scripts are used by Lifesci.jobs and our partners, analytics, and service providers. These technologies are used generally for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

Pixels

We use pixels, or transparent GIF files, to help manage online advertising. These pixels are provided by our ad management partner, Google Ad Manager. These files enable our ad management partner to recognize a unique cookie on your Web browser, which in turn enables us to learn which advertisements bring users to our Sites. The information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address. For more information about Google Ad Manager, including information about how to opt out of these technologies, go to http://www.google.com/privacy/ads/ or you may also opt out by contacting info@lifesci.jobs

Framing

The Sites may utilize framing and masking techniques to make it appear that the user is still on the Sites when the user is actually on a third party website. We also have co-branding relationships with certain partners. In these relationships, you will notice our service platform on our partner's page. In this situation, both parties are collecting your data and both privacy policies govern the data collected. We will not share your data with third parties without your consent in these and other relationships. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Sites and to read the privacy policies of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.

Web beacons

We use web beacons from time to time. A web beacon is a string of code that provides a method for delivering a graphic image on a web page or in an email message for the purpose of transferring data, or determining how many times a specific web page has been viewed. Web beacons enable Lifesci.jobs to recognize a browser's cookie when a browser visits a Site, and to learn which banner ads bring users to each Site. For example, when a user visits a web page, the code for the page may include instructions to go to another server to gather a single pixel graphic image. Web beacons are not placed on a user's computer. Such web beacons may be provided by Lifesci.jobs' third party advertising companies to help manage and optimize any online advertising.

Cookies

We use cookies on the Sites. A "browser" or "HTTP" cookie is a unique text file that may be used for data analysis, and enables a web site to tailor information presented to a user based on a user's browsing program. Lifesci.jobs may use browser cookies to personalize a user's pages at our Sites, to remember a user when the user registers for products or services, for fraud prevention, or to track visits to our Sites. If a user does not want Lifesci.jobs or its partners to deploy browser cookies in the user's browser when the user visits the Sites, the user may set the browser to reject cookies or to notify the user when a web site tries to place cookies in the browser program. Rejecting cookies may affect a user's ability to use some of the products, features, functions, or services on our Sites.

We also may use local shared objects, also known as "Flash cookies" and local storage such as HTML5 cookies to store your preferences or display content based upon what you view on our website to personalize your visit. Flash cookies are different from "browser" cookies because of the amount of, type of, and how data is stored. Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies, including how to delete Flash cookies, click here for additional information: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html#117118.

The ads appearing on the Sites may be delivered to visitors by third parties, such as Google. The third party advertising technology that Lifesci.jobs uses on the Sites uses information derived from a user's visits to the Sites to target advertising within the Sites. In addition, Lifesci.jobs’ advertisers may use other third party advertising technology to target advertising on the Sites. In the course of serving advertisements to the Sites, our partners may place or recognize a unique cookie on a user's browser. Information about users' visits to the Sites, such as the number of times users have viewed an ad (but not users' names, addresses, or other personally identifiable information), are used to serve ads to visitors. The use of cookies enables our partners to serve ads to users based on such user's visit to the Sites and other sites on the Internet. As with other cookies, and consistent with Lifesci.jobs’ policy on cookies stated above, the user may block or delete such cookies from the user's drive or memory. For more information about Google, Google's use of cookies, and how to "opt out" of Google's email/information lists, please click here: http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html. If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you interest-based ads, you may opt-out by clicking here (or if located in the European Union click here) For our European customers you may opt-out here. Please note this does not opt you out of being served ads. You will continue to receive generic ads.

Log files

Lifesci.jobs web servers may automatically log aggregate information, such as a user's IP address, domain name, browser type, date and time of access, and other log file data.

Links to third party web sites

Links to third party websites or widgets to enable sharing of information through social networks on the Sites are provided solely as a convenience to the user. When a user uses these links, the user leaves the Sites. Lifesci.jobs has not reviewed all of these third party sites, does not control, and is not responsible for, any of the third party sites, their content or privacy practices. Lifesci.jobs does not endorse or make any representations about the third party sites, or any information, services, or products found on the sites. If a user decides to access any of the linked sites, Lifesci.jobs encourages the user to read their privacy statements. The user accesses such sites at user's own risk.

E. Security

The security of your personally identifiable information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our order forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information.

We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personally identifiable information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. It is your responsibility to protect the security of your login information. Please help keep your account safe by using a strong password. Accordingly, we advise that you do not communicate any confidential information through our Services.

If you have any questions about security on our Website, you can contact us at info@lifesci.jobs

F. Surveys and Sweepstakes

Occasionally, Lifesci.jobs may conduct surveys in order to better deliver advertisements and content and to better understand your needs relating to the Services. We will not share your survey information with any third party, except in aggregate form.

From time-to-time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code). That information, to the extent it conflicts with this policy, will govern that particular promotion or sweepstakes - please remember to read it carefully. We may use this information to notify contest winners and award prizes, to monitor the Sites use, to personalize the Sites, to send participants an email, and to measure participants' demographics, interests and opinions. We may use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests; that company will be prohibited from using our users' personally identifiable information for any other purpose. We will not share the personally identifiable information you provide through a contest or survey with other third parties unless we give you prior notice and choice.

If you choose to use our referral service to tell another person about a job, we will ask you for that person's email address. We will automatically send that person a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. We use this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email, and do not store these email addresses.

G. Social Media Features

The Sites include social media features, such as the Facebook like button and widgets, that run on our Sites. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our Sites, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Social Media Features and Widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

H. Choice and Correction of personally identifiable information

If you would like to have your personally identifiable information removed from Lifesci.jobs’ database, or would like to correct an error in such information, please contact us at info@lifesci.jobs and we will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request. Keep in mind, however, that there will be residual information that will remain within Lifesci.jobs’ databases, access logs, and other records, which may or may not contain such personally identifiable information. If you have provided more than one email address to our service, you may continue to be contacted, unless you request to unsubscribe each email address you have provided.

Choice and Access: Upon request Lifesci.jobs will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your personal information. If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may correct, update, amend, delete/remove or deactivate it by making the change on your account page or by emailing our Customer Support at info@lifesci.jobs or by contacting us by telephone or postal mail at the contact information listed below. We will respond to all access requests within 30 days.

Data Retention: We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you Services. If no account activity occurs for 3 years, we reserve the right to remove your account and all associated information. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you Services, contact us at info@lifesci.jobs. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Blogs: The Sites may offer publicly accessible blogs or community forums. You should be aware that any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them. To request removal of your personally identifiable information from our blog or community forum, contact us at info@lifesci.jobs. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your personally identifiable information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.

I. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make any material changes we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of a notice on the Site prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
