Privacy Policy - Your Privacy Rights

We value your privacy. We strive to provide a safe, secure user experience. This Privacy Policy sets forth the online data collection and usage policies and practices that apply to the Military Spouse Career Center (sometimes referred to herein as “we”). This Privacy Policy does not replace or overwrite Military.com's Privacy Policy or Monster's Privacy Policy .

We gather or may gather certain information about your use of Military Spouse Career Center, such as what areas you visit and what services you access. Moreover, there is information about your computer hardware and software that is or may be collected by us. This information can include without limitation your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses, but is not linked to your personal information.

We use "cookies" to help personalize and maximize your online experience and time online. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard drive by a Web page server. Cookies are not used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to your computer, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize pages, or register for services, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information (such as user name, password and preferences). Because of our use of cookies, we can deliver faster and more accurate results and a more personalized site experience. When you return to the Military Spouse Career Center, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized. We also use cookies to track click streams and for load balancing.

You may have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline all cookies if you prefer. Alternatively, you may be able to modify your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis. Choosing to decline cookies may hinder performance and negatively impact your experience on the Military Spouse Career Center.

The Military Spouse Career Center may contain electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) that allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Web beacons are not used to access your personally identifiable information; they are a technique we use to compile aggregated statistics about our Web site usage. Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides.

You may not decline web beacons; however, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.

The Military Spouse Career Center, through Monster, uses DoubleClick technology to track usage and provide dynamic content. In most cases, when you see an Internet ad, DoubleClick or DoubleClick technology has been used for ad delivery, reporting or analysis of usage. The information DoubleClick processes on such a website's behalf belongs to that website and is not further used by DoubleClick. DoubleClick does not own the information collected and cannot use it for its own business purposes.

If You Send Us Personal Information

If you choose to provide us with personal information by building a resume, uploading a resume, applying for a job with an employer, sending an email to one of our online email boxes, or by filling out a form with your personal information and submitting through our web site, the Military Spouse Career Center uses that information to respond to your message and to help get you the information you have requested.

The Military Spouse Career Center collects personally identifiable information (name, email address, Social Security number, or other unique identifier) only if specifically and knowingly provided by you. Your Social Security Number will only be provided to Federal recruiters for application to positions per regulations detailed below. Applications to private companies will not contain your SSN and will not be viewable during any resume searches by private employers or Federal recruiters.

Executive Order 9397 (November 22, 1943) requires that any person doing business with the Federal government must furnish a Social Security Number or tax identification number. Federal agencies must have your Social Security Number (SSN) to identify your records because other people may have the same name and birth date. The Office of Personnel Management may also use your SSN to make requests for information about you from employers, schools, banks, and others who know you, but only as allowed by law or Presidential directive. The information collected by using your SSN will be used for Federal employment purposes and also for studies and statistics that will not identify you. Providing your SSN, or any other information is voluntary. However, Federal agencies cannot process your application, which is the first step toward getting a job, if you do not provide the requested information.

The Military Spouse Career Center only shares the information you give us with a third party if your inquiry relates to that organization, or as otherwise required by law.

Personal Information on Resumes and Profiles

The Military Spouse Career Center provides three options regarding the accessibility of your resume:

1. You can store your resume in our database, but not allow it to be searchable by potential employers. Not allowing your resume to be searchable means that you can use it to apply for a job online (your resume will be forwarded to employers to whose jobs you have applied), but employers and recruiters will not have access to search it through our resume database product.
2. If you allow your resume to be searchable without making it confidential and hiding your contact information, then all parties with access to our searchable resume database (or copies thereof) will have access to your resume.
3. If you have a confidential resume, but apply to a job posting on Monster, the employer to whom you send your resume will be able to view your contact information.

Discussion boards, chat rooms, content and website utilities and services provided by Military.com are subject to Military.com's Privacy Policy and User Agreement . These include (but are not limited to) the Military.com Discussion Boards, Mentor Network, Buddy Finder, and Unit Pages.

Information and data, including but not limited to personal information, provided in public areas may be collected and used by others over whom we have no control.
