When do we collect this information? We collect this information when you take certain actions like interacting with our websites or apps, uploading a resume, or chatting with recruiters or our support team. We collect this information automatically when we acquire publicly available information or when you browse our websites and apps. We also get information when we interact with our customers and recruiters at events or through contests or receive services from our vendors.

How long do we keep this information? Monster will retain your personal information for five (5) years after the last time you interact with our services at which time it will be automatically deleted from our systems unless we are legally required to keep it longer. However, you may exercise your right to delete personal information at any time by following the rights request process. Please understand that residual copies of the personal information may be maintained for the purposes of maintaining secure data backups. We do not have the ability to delete copies of resumes, messages, or other personal information downloaded or copied onto the systems of employers and recruiters. The best way to ensure you control your information is to give Monster, recruiters, and employers only the personal information that you are completely comfortable sharing.

In the event you seek to delete your Job Seeker Profile with us, we will retain your personal information when it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, retaining the information for tax purposes), resolve disputes (for example, if the data is related to a lawsuit), enforce our agreements, or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

Some Monster customers store their resume databases on Monster servers. Monster is a data processor for personal information received in this way. Requests regarding this information must be made to such customers. Monster will cooperate as appropriate with requests from our customers to assist with such responses.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION & SPECIAL CATEGORY DATA

Certain types of personal information are considered, under the privacy laws of some states and countries, to be “sensitive” or “special” categories of information, e.g., race, ethnic origin, health data, genetic data, certain biometric data (for uniquely identifying an individual), information about sex life or sexual orientation, political opinions, religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs, and trade union membership. Sensitive information sometimes enjoys special legal protection. You may have legal rights to limit how we use your sensitive personal information. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns about how we collect, use, and share sensitive personal information.

Let's be clear: we do not want your sensitive information and strive to limit it on our website and apps to the greatest extent possible. In some cases, this information is a valuable part of connecting job seekers to employers, like creating opportunities to connect and message each other through our platforms. But we do not want the types of data traditionally shared between applicants and employers, like your Social Security number. Do not provide us with your Social Security number. If we have found we have collected this sensitive information, we will promptly delete it. Limit the sensitive personal information we have access to by following the tips below.

In addition to the data categories above, Monster collects, uses, or has access, if provided, to the following types of sensitive information:
