Collection of Personal Data

We may collect personal data from users of our Services and Sites. Such personal data may include: email address, first and last name, address, country, other contact information, and answers to various questions (e.g., work history, work preferences, personal interests, behaviors, motives, talents, aptitudes, and competencies). Shaker does not collect demographic personal information, such as age, race, and gender, unless a user voluntarily elects to disclose such information through our Services or Sites. Personal data is generally provided directly by the users of our Services and Sites themselves.

Shaker may capture certain information automatically on or through our Sites or Services, regardless of whether a user provides us with personal data. This information may include a user’s device and/or network information (e.g., Internet protocol (IP) address, user agent strings, device identification number (IMEI), geolocation data, browser type, page access history, linking information, click stream data, page visits, page views, and/or website log files). If we identify that a user is accessing our Sites or Services through multiple devices, we may associate each such device with the user’s profile.

We may also use operational data (e.g., cookies, log files, clear GIFs, pixels and/or similar devices) to identify our users and their device(s) in order to track our users’ interactions with our Sites and Services; we use this operational data to enhance certain activities available on our Sites or Services. A user has the right to remove or reject persistent cookies by following the directions provided in the user’s Internet browser’s “Help” file. If a user removes a persistent cookie, such user may be requested to reregister or log in again upon returning to our Sites or Services. If a user rejects persistent cookies, the functionality of our Sites or Services may be impaired or unavailable.

Use of Personal Data

Shaker uses personal data to maintain user accounts and to provide the Services. Personal data collected through our Services and Sites may be provided to our clients so that they can make personnel decisions (e.g., evaluate applicants or current employees, hire applicants, promote current employees, etc.), and when necessary our clients may further disclose such information to their clients. We may also use both personal data and non-personal data (as defined below) for research purposes in connection with the further development of our Services. In addition, a user grants Shaker and its direct or indirect clients the right to process the data submitted and it may be disclosed as part of the Services to Shaker employees, direct or indirect clients, and professional advisors.

This information may also be provided to certain third party technology services providers as necessary to provide our Services. Any such third party technology services providers (which may include software development, application and data hosting, wireless network services providers, and payment processing agents) shall be subject to protecting such personal data, including their compliance the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Except for our third party technology services providers, we will not voluntarily share personal data with a third party without a user’s prior authorization, unless doing so is necessary (1) to enforce this Privacy Policy, to comply with law, regulation or other legal processes or to protect the rights, property or safety of us or others, (2) to comply a valid order or process from a government regulator or law enforcement agency, (3) in emergency situations, (4) to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Services, (5) to detect or prevent criminal activity or fraud, or (6) in the event that we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by one or more third parties as a result of an acquisition, merger, sale, reorganization, consolidation or liquidation, in which case personal data may be one of the transferred assets.

We may use any data that has been de-identified, which has been subjected to pseudonymization or is non-identifiable aggregated data (collectively “non-personal data”). Shaker may use or disclose such non-personal data in its sole discretion.

Security of Personal Data

Data security is implemented through physical, administrative, and technical safeguards we put in place and operational procedures we follow to protect personal data. We protect our users’ personal data transmitted over the Internet using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, password protected databases. We restrict access to our users’ personal data in our Services or Sites to our authorized employees, our agents, and certain of our authorized partners.

Please note that we do not have any control over or responsibility for information a user shares through any websites outside of our Sites or Services; including any third party websites accessed or linked through our Sites. All such sharing of information and content is done at the user’s own risk; and Shaker makes no representations or warranties that these security measures will prevent a security incident or breach.
