Share with hirers can be viewed by anyone with access to our video and profile database. We cannot control the retention, use or privacy of videos and/or profiles that have been viewed or downloaded by others.

If you do not share your Careervid profile with Careervid users it will not be available to search in our video and profile database.

Video profiles created will generate a secure link that you can to send to potential employers. This link will allow the recipient to view your video profile via the Careervid platform. We cannot control the distribution, retention, use or privacy of videos and/or profiles after you have sent the link out.

We attempt to limit access to our resume and profile database to legitimate users, but cannot guarantee that other parties will not gain access to this database. Once your resume has been disclosed, Careervid is not able to retrieve it from the third parties who accessed it. Accordingly, you should not put sensitive or other information you would not want made public, in your video, resume or profile.

If your resume includes personal data of a reference, it is your responsibility to ensure that the person is aware that you have forwarded his/her details and has consented in writing for you to do so.

Resumes you upload must not contain sensitive data relating to your (i) racial or ethnic origin (ii) political beliefs (iii) philosophical or religious beliefs (iv) membership of a trade union or political party (v) physical or mental health or biometric details or genetic makeup (vi) addictions or sexual life (vii) the commission of criminal offences or proceedings and associated penalties or fines, (viii) the commission of any unlawful or objectionable conduct and associated penalties, or (ix) any Social Security Number or national identification number.

CCPA (California Privacy Rights)

California residents have the right to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Other residents: You may make a verified request to Careervid regarding your Personal Data. While Careervid does not sell your Personal Data, you can nonetheless make a formal request to delete your Personal Data held by Careervid. You can also log in and delete your complete profile online.

The right to Opt-out
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) aims to provide California residents a host of new rights, among them the ability to prevent companies from “selling” their personal information.

Selling data and what it means
A common understanding of “selling” information is that it involves a company taking information it has learned about you and exchanging that information with an unrelated third party for money, who will then use that data for a new purpose that you did not intend. Careervid never does this with your information.

What Careervid does that may fall under the CCPA’s definition of “selling”
The following list is not exclusive but shows examples of what our products do. We say “may” fall under the definition of “selling” data because the CCPA is new and these issues are not yet resolved. What Careervid does includes: Displaying your video profile and resume to employers, recommending your video profile and resume to employers, sharing data with our affiliates as described in our Privacy Policy.

Careervid will NOT sell data to data brokers. Careervid will NOT exchange information about you with a third party for money.

Opting out
In order to opt out you may delete your account and personal data online by going to your profile and deleting your account. Once your data is deleted, Careervid will be unable to retrieve it.
