Privacy Policy

Better Match Inc., (“Better Match”, “we” or “us”) offers a business intelligence platform through which businesses that use it (“Customers”, “Users” or “you”) can obtain information and use Better Match's engagement and other marketing tools to assist them in better marketing to potential candidates who may be interested in their job offerings(collectively, the “Services”).

This Privacy Policy explains how we process personal information, including business contact information and other types of personal information that are submitted to us through our Services or otherwise collected, stored, used, disclosed, inferred, acquired or processed by us in connection with developing, improving or providing our Services.

This Privacy Policy also describes Better Match's practices for collecting, storing, using, disclosing, and otherwise processing personal information in relation to visitors to our website ("Website"), Better Match's marketing activities, and Customers' use and access of our Services.

For data subjects whose personal information is included in Better Match's contributor database, this Privacy Policy is intended to provide you with information on who Better Match is, how you can opt-out of our database, and the potential outcomes of remaining in our database. You can opt-out of our database by visiting our Privacy Center. At the Privacy Center you can also submit an access request to learn more about the data Better Match has collected about you. Using the Privacy Center is the fastest and most efficient way to access your information or have it deleted from our database. However, if you are unable to use any of our self-serve forms available through the Privacy Center or have additional questions on how to exercise your privacy rights, you can email us at privacy@bettermatch.io.

By remaining in our database, you may be contacted by our Customers when they are conducting their business-to-business sales and marketing activities. Communications you receive from our Customers may be relevant to your profession or employment role, but we cannot guarantee that you will find such communications to be relevant or of interest to you.

By accessing the Service, visiting the Website or otherwise participating in Better Match marketing activities, you acknowledge the collection, use, disclosure and other handling of your information as described below. If you are interested in the rights that apply to the information that Customers submit to us or that we collect and use, please read this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service carefully.

1. Information we use to provide the service

We use a variety of information that we obtain from various sources, including our Customers and their users in order to provide the Service.

Information we collect from third party sources

We may obtain information from third party sources, such as data providers and integration parties, or from public sources and methods, such as information available on public APIs and the internet.

Customers and their Users may provide a variety of information to us through the Service.

This includes:

If we provide a payment option to Customers, we may collect payment data, and if a Customer purchases one of our online subscription-based Services, the Customer may need to provide payment and/or credit card information, and other information to validate their payment method and identity. We will use that information to fulfill the Customer's purchase request.

We likewise may request, and Customers and their Users may provide, additional information in order to create, support and maintain their account enabling access to the Services.

You can opt out of the use of this software by contacting us at privacy@bettermatch.io or by opting out of any data collection by any non-essential cookies using the banner on our website. To control which Web servers collect information by automated means, we may place tags on our Web pages called “Web beacons,” which are files that link Web pages to particular Web servers and their cookies. We also may include Web beacons in e-mail messages that we send to you or that our Customers send to you through our Services. We or third parties also may send instructions to your device using JavaScript or other computer languages to store or gather the sorts of information described above and other details about your interactions with the Website or Service.

If we provide a mobile app, we or third parties may collect information similar to the data mentioned above. In that case, we also may collect unique device identifiers (such as advertising IDs) and other mobile-specific types of information. For example, depending on your device and/or browser settings, we may collect your device’s geolocation.

6. Analytics, advertising and do-not-track

Advertising Technology Providers

As with many websites and web-based services, data about your activities on our Website and the Service may be collected by us or by advertising technology providers for use in delivering advertising (both online and offline) tailored to your individual characteristics, activities, interests and other factors. For instance, we may “retarget” you with ads for our Service when you visit our Website.

These ad services may track your online activities over time by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of the automated technologies described above, and they may use this information, and other information they receive from us or other sources, to deliver advertisements to you. We and third-party vendors may use first-party cookies and third-party cookies together, and other automated technologies, and in some cases additional information, (i) to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on past visits to our Website or use of the Service or other factors and (ii) to report how ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our Website, use of the Service or other factors.

You may visit the Network Advertising Initiative's Consumer Opt-Out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance's Consumer Opt-Out page to opt out of receiving tailored advertising from many companies involved in that type of advertising – for instance, ads based on your Internet browsing activities. The opt-outs apply only to the browser in which you set them. For example, if you set the opt-out while using Firefox, but then use Chrome, the opt-out will not be active in Chrome. To opt out in Chrome, you will need to repeat the opt-out process.

The opt-outs described in this Privacy Policy do not block or delete cookies, or prevent the use of cookies or other technologies for purposes other than selecting ads based on your interests as inferred by your online behavior. If you opt out, data may still be collected about your web browsing activities and you will still see advertising. Ads may be delivered based on other factors, such as the content of the web page in which they are shown, or demographic information obtained through other means.

7. Your choices, and how to remove your content and information

We may offer Customers self-serve options for updating their account information and indicating Service preferences. To learn about these, please send us an email at data@bettermatch.io.

If you are a consumer and do not want information about yourself to be included in the Services or our contributor database, please send us an email at data@bettermatch.io. We will keep your information in order to suppress it from being included in our contributor database to our Customers. Please note that this will not remove your data from the databases of other parties (such as our Customers or other data providers) who may already possess your data.

8. Security

We understand the importance of the security of the information we collect, but we cannot promise that our security measures will eliminate all security risks or avoid any security breaches. When you provide information to us, you do so at your own risk. Please help to do your part by taking steps such as (1) using a strong, unique password for our Service that you do not use elsewhere, (2) protecting the confidentiality of your password, and periodically changing it, (3) accessing our Service and Website only from devices that have an up-to-date operating system and anti-virus protection, and (4) notifying us of any suspected unauthorized activity or any breach of the confidentiality of your login credentials. Taking these steps may help lower the risk or impact of certain security threats.

9. Third party links and services

The Service and/or the Website may contain links to third-party websites, applications and services — or may itself be embedded in such a site, application or service — and may also contain cookies and other third-party content and features. Your clicking on these links or your viewing or interacting with any of these items, or third parties may result in the collection, use and sharing of information about you by third parties. We are not responsible for the content, security or practices of any third parties. The information you choose to provide to or that is collected by these third parties is not covered by our Privacy Policy — you should review those parties’ policies and terms to determine how the data they collect from you will be handled.
