California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

California’s "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" right
and what it means for California residents who use a .Jobs websites

California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act or "CCPA" for short. The CCPA is geared toward further ensuring the responsible use of California consumers’ data. It aims to provide California residents a host of new rights, among them the ability to access their personal information and greater transparency into how businesses use their information.

The CCPA also gives California residents the right to stop the "sale" of their personal information through a mechanism called “Do Not Sell My Personal Information.” While there are many positive impacts of this requirement, California’s definition of “sale” also captures the transfer of data between corporate affiliates (that is, companies that share common ownership) and other transfers that ordinarily may not be thought of as a “sale” in the traditional sense of the word.

Secure.jobs aims to help businesses secure their brand by allowing the purchase of .Jobs domain names. We share data with our partners as an integral component of the products and services we and our affiliates offer and how they are tailored for you. Because the CCPA has defined some of these transfers as "sales," we are unable to offer all of our services to the Users that ask us not to “sell” their Personal Data.

Users who opt to request that we not "sell" their Personal Data as we have described above will not be able to use any service we offer that requires our continued use of the User’s email address. Accordingly, users who direct us to stop “selling” their Personal Data will have their Personal Data deleted from the Secure.jobs platform. User’s who make this request will still be able to access all of the services we offer on our Site to non-account holders and may always use a new email address to register a new account with our Site or to receive job alerts.

You can request that we delete your account and Personal Data by filling out this form.

California resident availing yourself of the rights afforded to you under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Please note that we will attempt to verify your identity via the email address and/or telephone number associated with your request prior to fulfilling it. If you authorize another person to make this request on your behalf, in addition to verifying your identity we will also require proof that the person is authorized to act on your behalf.

Does Secure.jobs actually "sell" my personal information?

The idea of selling your personal information in the traditional sense runs counter to our core principles. We don’t sell your data in this manner. We take pride in helping businesses find their perfect jobs related domains and strive to act in the best interests of our users. Secure.jobs may share your personal information with its affiliates as detailed in our Privacy Policy. California has defined some of these transfers as a "sale." Because of this, we are required to disclose these types of transfers as “sales” of personal information.

Secure.jobs does not share your personal information with unaffiliated companies for marketing purposes and we certainly do not sell it for money to such companies for marketing purposes.
