ResumeSmarts Privacy Policy

Effective as of: 15 June 2015

The offerings presented on ResumeSmarts.com ("RS") involve interactions between you, your data and, RS' productivity tools ("Smarts"). RS' effectiveness requires of you to provide complete and accurate information and it is therefore vital that RS' relationship with you be based upon integrity and trust, honoring a commitment to you that your privacy is maintained.

This document describes how RS protects your privacy, and that of your data.

Types of Data Retained

RS and its Smarts retain data about your usage along with your selected options and preferences, as well as data that you submit.

Data Storage Duration

RS retains your data for as long as your account exists. Upon deleting your account, all of your data are summarily purged such that RS will be unable to restore any of them, EVER. Some traces of your data and usage may yet remain in some instances, for example in RS' data backups that were created prior to your account's deletion or, in payment records if you elect to purchase services. Usage logs that do not contain data that identifies you might also remain.

How Your Data are Used

Your data are used to deliver the services that you expect, and are NEVER shared with entities outside of the platform unless you want them shared, for example, when you share your resume with an employer. Your data may be shared with other RS users without your knowledge or consent in situations where Smarts are expected to do so by the nature of their functionality, such as including your vote when reporting a tally to users, and in such instances your anonymity will be assured unless you specifically deem otherwise.

How Data About Your Usage are Used

RS uses your usage data to better understand your needs and to enhance your experience. For example, access to Smarts is availed to users in stages based on usage. Also, RS exposes an artificial intelligence system that guages usage and offers guidance and recommendations as users progress, and informs users of newly-added Smarts and features that may increase their productivity.

Your Data are NEVER Shared with Advertisers

Advertisers often employ user-tracking techniques to determine the advertisements that users receive. RS does not share any of your data with advertisers, though your browser may share some data about you and may allow advertisements to read and write data onto your computer in places such as your cookies folder. Advertisers may be offered aggreagated data, for exmple usage statistics, in a manner that does not expose who users are or their private content.

Smarts' Privacy Policies

This privacy policy applies to RS and its Smarts. Smarts may individually provide their own privacy policies and when they do they are to be considered as an extension of this document, and should a conflict exist between this policy and that of a Smart, the Smart's privacy policy shall prevail in the context of the relevant Smart.

Communicating with RS

A record of your communication may be maintained when you contact RS which may survive your account's termination, and RS may contact you in response to your communications. RS may also contact you in accordance with your selections in its settings, or to inform you of policy changes, new features, offeriings, options and modifications that may impact your experience.

Disclosing Information

RS may, without your knowledge or consent, share data and usage with companies, organizations or individuals outside of RS where deemed in good-faith that access to or, use, preservation or disclosure of, the information is reasonably necessary to:

• Meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request.
• Enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations.
• Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.
• Protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of RS users or the public as required or permitted by law.

RS may likewise share aggregated, non-personally identifiable data publicly and with RS partners, like advertisers or associates, in a manner that maintains your anonymity. For example, RS may share information publicly to show trends about the general use of RS and its Smarts.

RS may modify, remove or replace this privacy policy, or that of any Smart, at any time and without your knowledge or consent. RS will attempt to inform users at least 14 days in advance of changes to the relevant privacy policy, by email to the address with which the user logs in.

Our Story

Whether responding to an employment ad, a recruiter, or seeking an opportunity through a friend, you’ll always be asked to provide your updated resume.

Your resume is your single most important instrument to market yourself for the position that you want, and its content is the only criterion to determine whether or not you’ll be considered a candidate for it.

Numerous resume tools exist that enable users to produce beautiful resumes, yet until ResumeSmarts none yet existed that enable users to freely manage the content in their resumes so that they get the positions that they deserve.

Welcome ResumeSmarts, a platform offering resume tools to help professionals like you prepare, send, track and publish effective resumes that will get you noticed.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide job seekers with tools to help them prepare effective resumes and manage their jos searches with less effort and with greater efficiency.

Our Values

Resume Smarts was built to offer direction and tools for professionals seeking work. Our success is your success, and we will continue to work diligently to ensure that our users find it effective.

User privacy and securty play a vital role in helping professionals grow their careers and get the positions that they deserve and for which they qualify. Therefore Resume Smarts does not share user information with anyone without that user's specific request, thereby securing users from employers and recruiters who typically use artificial intelligence to weed out viable qualified candidates based on questionable algorithms. Resume Smarts intends to return to professionals the control that they require to manage their job searches and to develop their careers effectively.

Please read through our legal policies and learn more about how we manage privacy and security and to review the terms of our service.

Our Vision

Resume Smarts is driven by its values, offering tools to assist every professional in maintaining the greatest financial security possible from employent in the hopes that everyone will enjoy increased stability and consequently greater success in life.

While some features may incur fees, Resume Smarts is largely free for all users with the hopeful request that our users who find it helpful return the favor and pay it forward by joining us in maintaining a world of compassion, grace and collaboration instead of apathy and fierce competition.

Founder's Note on Social Responsibility

We live in a world where everything seems to be broken, including our access to healthy food, our health system, tax system, social security system, education system and others; it seems to me like everything around us is eroding, and our government is either ineffective in solving these problems or perhaps at least partially responsible for them. We all need steady gainful employment and we all deserve a career, and Resume Smarts is my attempt at fixing the broken employment sector. It's at least a start, which I hope will grow in its effectiveness.

For those who are out of work for extended periods, we need to find ways to help them carry the day. In the spirit of providing such opportunity, I have taken steps to offer a viable and compassionate alternative to the services offered by the apathetic ridesharing giants Uber and Lyft.

I encourage you to visit Rideshare Cooperative to learn more, and to join me in seeing this project through to success by signng up for membership. You'll be gratified that in addition to receiving reduced fares you'll be paying it forward by helping others in your community who may be working through a financial crisis of their own.
