We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless otherwise required by applicable laws. Criteria we will use to determine how long we will retain your personal information include whether we need your personal information to provide you with our Services or consider your application for employment; you have requested information from us; we have a legal right or obligation to continue to retain your personal information; we have an obligation to a third party that involves your personal information; our retention or recordkeeping policies and obligations dictate that we retain your personal information; we have an interest in providing you with information about our Services; or we have another business purpose for retaining your personal information.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We may share your personal information with third parties under the following circumstances:

• Service providers and business partners. We may share your personal information with our service providers and business partners that perform marketing services and other business operations for us. For example, we may partner with other companies to process secure payments, fulfill orders, optimize our Services, send newsletters and marketing emails, support email and messaging services, and analyze information.
• Reworld Holding Corporation is the parent company of several subsidiaries. We work closely with the businesses and companies that fall under the Reworld™ family. We may share the personal information we collect and obtain about you (e.g. your name, email address, and IP address) with other Reworld™ companies for security, marketing, contract fulfillment, internal or external legal or compliance obligations, and as allowed or required by law.
• Law enforcement agency, court, regulator, government authority or other third party. We may share your personal information with these parties where we believe this is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, or otherwise to protect our rights or the rights of any third party, or as otherwise required or permitted by law.
• Asset purchasers. We may share your personal information with any third party that purchases, or to which we transfer, all or substantially all of our assets and business. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to ensure that the entity to which we transfer your personal information uses it in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

We may also aggregate and de-identity your personal information so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify you, and we may then share this aggregated or de-identified information.

Third Party Websites

The Services may include links to websites, web applications, or connected resources we do not control. This Policy does not apply to such third-party content and we are not responsible for the content of these linked sites or their treatment of your personal information. Such third-party websites and online services may include social sharing features or other integrated tools, which let you share actions you take on the Services with other media, and vice versa. The use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the third party that provides the social sharing feature. You should review the privacy policies and terms of use for such third-party websites and online services prior to providing them with your personal information, although we are unable to verify the accuracy of these terms.

Third-Party Advertising and Analytics Services

We use analytics services, including Google Analytics, to assist us with analyzing our website traffic. These services utilize cookies and other technologies that collect your Personal Information. To learn more about how Google uses data, visit Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s page on “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ websites or apps.” You may download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each web browser you use, but this does not prevent the use of other analytics tools. To learn more about Google Analytics cookies, visit Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites.

We may allow others to serve interest-based advertisements across the internet and to provide analytics services. These entities may use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites over time, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information. This information may be used by Reworld™ and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver better advertising and content targeted to your interests both on our Services and across the web, and better understand your online and offline activities. For more information about interest-based ads, or to opt out of having your web browsing information used for behavioral advertising purposes, please adjust your advertising settings in Google and other platforms you use.

We may also work with third parties to serve ads on other websites or platforms, and these ads may sometimes be customized based on information we have about you.

Your Choices

Email Communications. You may opt out of receiving promotional emails and text messages from Reworld™ by following the instructions in those communications. Please allow up to 10 days for these opt outs to take effect. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional messages, such as emails about your accounts or our ongoing business relations. If you have registered to receive job vacancy updates by email, we will send you such updates in the frequency you have selected. If you no longer wish to receive these, you can request that we amend your preferences. You can do that either as indicated in the particular communication, e.g.by using the unsubscribe link which is included on all email updates, or by updating your preferences within your online account in our recruitment management platform.

Cookies. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies or reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or aspects of the Services.

Location Information. When you first visit one of the pages on our websites that collect location information, you will be asked to consent to the collection of location information. If you initially consent to our collection of location information, you can later stop this collection by changing the settings on your mobile device or web browser. If you do so, certain features of the Services will no longer function. You can also stop our collection of location information by mobile applications by following the standard uninstall process and removing any Reworld™ application(s) from your mobile device.

Do Not Track. Some web browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. There is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many websites and online services, the Services do not alter practices when a “Do Not Track” signal is received from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit https://www.allaboutdnt.com.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your requests unless they are excessive or repetitive.
