Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 22nd, 2023

Coaching Moments respects the privacy of our users. This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) describes how we collect, use, store, and disclose information connected with our services and website. By accessing our website and/or using our services, you agree to the provisions of this privacy policy and our terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms have the meanings defined in the Terms.

Please note that this privacy policy does not apply to third parties, although third parties may process any information provided by third parties, except as otherwise described below. For example, when users seek to apply for a job notice, the services may redirect the user to an employer’s career site. Information collected through such a third-party site is not subject to this privacy policy, but is instead subject to the third party’s privacy policy. Similarly, data that users submit directly to a coach is not covered by this privacy policy.

Who uses our services?

We make our services available to different types of users. As discussed further below, the information collected from and shared about a user may depend on the user type. An individual may be one or more of these types of users, depending on the nature of their interactions with our services.

  1. Member: An individual who uses the Services
  2. Author: An individual who drafts articles, posts content, or creates other content displayed on the website.
  3. Coach: An individual who offers Coach Connect services through the website as a career counselor or job coach.
  4. Employer: An entity with a company profile on the website or otherwise has services provided by Coaching Moments.

 

Information We Collect

We collect certain information about users, including personal information, to fulfill our lawful business interests, including in connection with the Services. “Personal Information” is any information related to an identified or identifiable person, including by reference to an identifier such as a name, location data, email address, phone number, or other factors specific to a person’s identity. We collect only the information necessary to fulfill our lawful business interests and keep your information only as long as it is required to achieve those interests. For example, we may combine personal information with other information, in which case we will treat the combined information as personal information. We may also connect information that we collect about you through the Services with additional information that third parties provide or that we collect in other contexts—such as our communications with you via email or phone or our customer service records. In those circumstances, we will treat the combined information according to this privacy policy.

You can visit the website and use some of the services without providing any information, including personal information. However, if you choose not to provide personal information, we may not provide you with full access to or use of the services. As described below, we do automatically collect certain information when you use the services. The services also require you to provide personal information when you register as a member, coach, author, or employer.

How We Share Information with Third Parties?

Coaching Moments may share information with third parties for a variety of purposes. We share information with the following third parties and in the following ways:

  • We may share information, including Personal Information, with our corporate affiliates for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
  • Service providers. We use third-party service providers to help us manage and improve our services. We provide these parties with the information they need to perform their services, and we work closely with them to ensure that your privacy is respected and protected. These service providers may collect and/or use your information, including personal Information, to assist us in providing services and achieving the purposes discussed in this privacy policy. For example, we integrate specific plug-ins offered by third-party service providers. Even if you do not click on these plug-ins, they may collect information about you, such as your IP address. They may also set and/or access cookies. These plugins, including the Google Maps API, are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them.
  • Other users of the services may share information, including personal Information, with other users of the services where appropriate. For example, if you submit information to us or complete an application, we may share that information with an employer who will evaluate your application. Similarly, we may share a member’s contact information with a coach to enable them to communicate directly.

Direct sharing of Personal Information through the Services and third party websites and services. The Services may allow you to share Personal Information directly through the Services or a third party's services. For example, the Services may allow a Member to upload a resume or work history to communicate with an Employer through the Website or post career-related content or questions in a forum. The Services may also provide a text or chat-based communication platform to connect Members and coaches. In addition, the Services may contain links to third party websites that incorporate commenting and social networking features, including the Facebook "like" button and Twitter "follow" button. If you choose to use these features, you may disclose Personal Information not only to those third-party websites and services, but also to users and the general public. Because these third-party websites and services are not operated by Coaching Moments, we are not responsible for the content or practices of those websites or services. The collection, use and disclosure of your information will be subject to the privacy policies of the third party websites or services and not to this Privacy Policy.

Legal purposes

We may also use or share your information, including Personal Information, with third parties when we believe, in our sole discretion, that doing so is necessary:

Identified or aggregated information

We may also compile and share de-identified or aggregated information about users of the Services, such as publishing a report on trends in the use of the Services or sharing aggregated information about historical and real-time trends in employment.

Third-party Analytics and Targeted Advertising

We partner with certain third parties to collect information to participate in analytics, audits, research and reporting. These third parties may use weblogs, pixel tags or similar online tracking mechanisms, and may set and access cookies on your computer or other device. For example, as discussed above, Employers may use pixel tags or scripts provided by Coaching Moments to merchants who browse to your websites and submit job applications.

Among other providers, the Services use Google Analytics to help collect and analyze certain information for the purposes described above.

The Services may also enable third-party tracking mechanisms to collect information on our Services over time and across unaffiliated websites for online behavioral advertising. For example, third parties may use the fact that you visited the website to target online ads for the services to you on websites not affiliated with Coaching Moments. In addition, our third-party advertising partners might use information about your use of the services to help target advertisements unrelated to Coaching Moments based on your online behavior in general. For information about behavioral advertising practices, including privacy and confidentiality, visit the Network Advertising Initiative website and the Digital Advertising Alliance.

The use of online tracking mechanisms by third parties is subject to the privacy policies of those third parties and not to this Privacy Policy. If you prefer to prevent third parties from setting and accessing cookies on your computer, you can set your browser to block cookies. In addition, you can remove yourself from certain targeted advertising by using the opt-outs offered by: Network Advertising Initiative; Digital Advertising Alliance; The Trustees' opt-out tool; The Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (for users in Canada); and European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (for users in the EU).
