CMS Privacy Policy    

As your outplacement firm, you give Career Marketing Specialists Inc. certain personal information in order to help you find a new position. We respect that trust and want you to be aware of our commitment to protect the information you share with us while working on your job search.

How we collect, use and disclose your information.
When you join our outplacement program you share personal information with us so that we may provide products and services that best suit your needs. We assume your consent for CMS to use this information in an appropriate manner; we may use and disclose this information in order to:

• Develop your personal résumé for job search purposes – including your name, address, telephone numbers and the details of your career history. This will also mean positions, dates, past employers and any other relevant information of a career related type that you deem useful for your job search and ask us to include in your resume
   

• Distribute your résumé to recruiting firms operating within your industry or area of expertise. The list of companies who receive your résumé from CMS is available to you.

Limitation.
We will not provide any information about you to anyone except the information that is written in your résumé or covering letter. We will offer no verbal opinions or background information to anyone unless it is expressly written into the body of the résumé that you have agreed with us. The above limitations will be waived if, in our opinion, the withholding of such information from the appropriate professionals or authorities (medical, security, etc.) may put the personal health and welfare of yourself or others at risk.

What we will NOT do with your information.
We will not sell your information to anyone. Nor will we share your information with organizations outside of the employment industry that would use it to contact you about their own products or services.

We strive to protect your personal information.
All our employees and independent contractors who are granted access to our records understand the need to keep your information protected and confidential. They know they are to use the information only for the purposes intended. This expectation is communicated and agreed with each person in writing.

We have also established physical and systems safeguards including passwords, security certificates and firewalls along with the proper processes to protect your information from unauthorized access or use.

Information about you, gathered by us during meetings and video or telephone conversations will not be relayed to a third party in any shape or form without your consent.
