Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes the personal data JobTalkUSA and its partners (“we,” “us,” or “our”) get and gather from you as you use and visit jobtalkusa.com. This policy also defines our interactions with you and how we use, share, store, and protect your personal details.
Parts of this Privacy Policy may apply only to California and Nevada residents. So, if you are from one of these states, pay particular attention to the section that applies to your situation.
JobTalkUSA may change this policy any time. Any and all changes will take effect as soon as we have published them on our website. As you visit or use our website and services, you also agree to our Terms of Use.
ACCOUNT REGISTRATION
JobTalkUSA is a membership website service. To be a JobTalkUSA member, job seekers and/or employers must register first with us to set up an account. To do so, you must give a username, email address, and password. We will not make any of these information public and hope you will also do the same.
Once a member, you may share information publicly on your profile, message boards, comment section, posts, and more. These can be your description, view, and/or contact details. Since you give such information at will, we cannot restrict how others will use them. You decide and act on this at your own risk.

Demographic Characteristics: We get your gender, ethnicity, education level, citizenship, and more.
Business Information: Member employers on JobTalkUSA give these details willingly upon the conclusion of a hiring procedure.

SOURCES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
JobTalkUSA may gather personal data from various resources.
From, You, the User. We collect the personal information you submit to us. They let you create your online account; communicate with us by email, phone, or contact form (where we may store your message(s) and our reply(ies)); forward job application documents; get or ask data from us; and reply to surveys.
a) E-mail Promotions. If you opt in to receive our advertisements, you must send us your email address. We will use this to send you advertising communications. We may hire third-parties or service companies to send communications to you. You may refuse such marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the email. Opting out of marketing announcements, however, does not remove you from getting non-marketing notifications such as messages about your account or transactions.
b) Comment(s). When you comment about our website, its content, or our services, we will not treat them as confidential. We may use them for any purpose in our sole discretion, as long as they do not identify you personally. We will use your feedback without paying or acknowledging you.
c) Job Application. To apply for work with a member employer, you may be redirected to a third-party website. The member employer may require you to create an account with them. Therefore, for your safety, we urge you to review its terms and privacy statement in using its website. If you send us your job application documents, we will use and share them only to assess your qualifications to work with a member employer and its partners.
d) Live Chat. If you use our live chat, we will collect all texts and other data you submit through it. We may also gather details related to your communication with us.
e) Professional Experience. We will gather your personal and professional data when you upload your resume to our website.
We Collect Personal Information Automatically. JobTalkUSA collects specific details from you when you use our website.
Account Activity. We may collect data on how you use (i) your online account and (ii) our website when your account is active or in use.
Cookies and Other Tracking Tools. We may use analytics services, cookies, and other tracking tools on our website. A cookie is a small data file that a website sends or saves to your computer or device when you access it. We use cookies to help our website function well, keep it secure, market our services, communicate with you in a personal way, and upgrade it and our services. Cookies may be “first-party” or “third-party” cookies. A first-party cookie lets your browser approach the actual website you access (i.e. this website). A third-party cookie lets your web browser approach a third-party website such as the source of an ad on it or a third-party analytics provider.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Our website cookies may collect:
- IP address(es) assigned to your electronic device(s);
- your estimated physical location;
- the pages you accessed or clicked;
- the date, time, and how long you have stayed on the website;
- your operating system, browser, search requests, and other related details;
- the websites you access before and after going to our website; and
- related data to how and when you use the website.
JobTalkUSA may merge both cookie and personal data, including the ones we obtained from other sources.
DISABLING COOKIES
Most browsers accept cookies. You can restrict them by changing your browser settings. However, disabling them may affect your use and appreciation of our website. In addition, not all website features or functions may work properly if you disable cookies.
Interest-based Advertising. We use third parties to bring interest-based advertising services. They may offer you, on our behalf, tailored promotions based on estimates of your interests taken from your website visits over time and across diverse platforms. The details they gathered may relate to your personal information. In addition, the advertisements may appear on JobTalkUSA and on other websites. Further, you may receive them by email.
JobTalkUSA applies Google Analytics to gather and handle information on your website use. Google sets cookies on your browser or device, and your web browser will then send information back to it. Google uses them to give us reports that we use to grasp and gauge better how users relate with our website.
1. We may also use other support services aside from Google Analytics and not limited to the following:
- Demographics (age, ethnicity, and gender) of users.
- Google Search Console that measures website traffic and performance and fix, screen, and maintain the site’s presence in Google search results.
- Google Ads that serves ads to various websites. Google uses cookies to gather data on your website use to produce targeted ads for you on other sites you visit. To opt out of this, to tailor your ad preferences, or to limit the collection or use of such data, visit and follow personalized ad opt-out instructions on Google. Opting out will not affect your website use.
To change your choices on online ads or to get more details on ad links and behavioral advertising, see the National Advertising Initiative Consumer opt-out page. Changing the settings of a single browser or ad network will not have an effect on other browsers or ad networks. So, depending on the opt-outs you requested, you may still see our ads. Doing so does not withdraw you from getting all ads, only the ones directed to you.
2. We Collect Personal Information from Third-Party Sources. JobTalkUSA gets users’ data from third-party companies and public sources. We may combine them with your personal information or with others we collect. These details improve our current data about users, our ability to contact you, and our marketing skills.
