3. Information Collected Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies

In addition to the above collection sources, as you navigate through and interact with the App, we may collect, through automatic data collection technologies, certain information about your mobile device, browsing actions and patterns to improve the App and deliver a better and more personalized service, to help remember and process the items or information you save or otherwise queue for later use, to compile aggregate data about App traffic and interactions to better serve you, to keep track of referrals of jobs or companies to other individuals, and to keep track of advertisements.

“Unique Identifiers” may also be used to enable your use of the App. Unique Identifiers are small files used by our App that are stored on your device when the App is first installed for the purposes of identifying your device for consistent usage across sessions in the App. Unique Identifiers are installation-specific: if the App is uninstalled and then reinstalled, the old Unique Identifier is deleted and a new Unique Identifier is installed. These Unique Identifiers do not contain any personal information or other sensitive information. We use Unique Identifiers to track and enhance your usage of the App.

4. Third-party Use of Automatic Data Collection Technologies

Some content or applications, including advertisements, in the App are served by third-parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers and application providers. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use the App. The information they collect may be associated with your personal information or they may collect information, including personal information, about your online activities over time and across different apps and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.

6. Automated Decision Making

Where you register to receive certain of the service, including job referrals or job applications, we may carry out certain real-time automated assessments to determine eligibility to receive the service or your candidacy. An automated assessment is an assessment carried out automatically using a computer system or other technological means without human involvement. This assessment may review and analyze your personal information or personal data and include several checks, e.g., validation of your identification, validation of your right to work, skills checks, and other information verifications. Where a decision is made based solely on automation, you will be informed and have the right to challenge the automated decision by contacting us.

7. Disclosure and Sharing of Your Information

We may disclose or share de-identified or aggregated information about our users without restriction and such information does not constitute personal information or personal data.


Additionally, we may disclose or share your personal information to a third party for a business purpose in compliance with applicable law, such as providing services related to the App. We may disclose or share your personal information to certain third parties without further notice, unless required by applicable law, as follows:

  • To the affiliates of Data Owner.

  • To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or other sale or transfer of some or all of our respective assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by us about App users is among the assets transferred.
  • To comply with any court order, law or legal process, government or regulatory request.

8. Third Party Links

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our App. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.

9. Rights Regarding Your Personal Information or Personal Data

Depending on where you live (e.g. if you are a resident of California or a GDPR Location), you may have certain rights relating to your personal information or personal data. These rights are not always absolute; the right may be subject to certain exemptions or conditions and may depend on the processing activities we exercise regarding your personal information or personal data. This section describes some of the common rights that may apply to you (subject to the applicable law) and explains how to exercise those rights.

10. Right to Access and Information

Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we disclose or provide you access to one (1) copy of certain information to you about our maintenance, collection, and processing/use of your personal information and personal data.

14. Right to Object to Processing; Direct Marketing

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information or personal data where the processing is based on our legitimate interests. When these objections are made, we have the opportunity to demonstrate that we have a compelling interest to continue the processing that overrides your interests or to pursue a legal claim.

Additionally, you have the object to processing for direct marketing, which includes profiling for direct marketing. You will be provided with the opportunity to opt out of any direct marketing efforts in your account profile and through the methods in which such marketing is sent to you.

15. Right to Object to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right to object to decisions that are based only on the automated processing of your personal information or personal data. These objections will be considered where you have not explicitly consented to the automated processing, the automated processing is not necessary for a contract or agreement between you and us, or automated processing is not otherwise permitted by applicable law.

16. Exercising Your Rights

To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable request to WorkLLama (as set forth in the Contact Information section below) or the Data Owner by either:

 

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable request related to your personal information or personal data.

California residents may only make a verifiable request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

A verifiable request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include:
    • Verifying your App user login and password;
    • Verifying certain information that we have collected; or
    • Such other methods that we deem necessary to reasonably verify your identity.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
 

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

Making a verifiable request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

17. Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

 

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

 

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding receipt of the verifiable request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

 

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

18. Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights. Unless permitted by applicable law, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, exercising certain of your rights may inhibit your ability to effectively and fully use the App due to the nature of the services offered through the App. Additionally, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by applicable law that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

19. Other California Privacy Rights

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our App that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to Data Owner at contact@workllama.com.

20. Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we use commercially reasonable efforts to protect your personal information in accordance with this policy and applicable law (including CCPA and GDPR), we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to the App. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for any party’s circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained in the App. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our App, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. You should not share your password with anyone.

21. Children Under the Age of 16

The App is not intended for children under 16 years of age. No one under age 16 may provide any information through the App. If you are under 16, do not use or provide any information through the App or on or through any of its features. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16; however, if we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 16 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. Please contact us if you believe we might have personal information about a child under age 16.

22. Fair Information Practices

In our effort to comply with the Fair Information Practices, should a data breach occur of which we are aware, we will attempt to notify affected users by email within ten (10) business days of becoming aware of such data breach, or as soon as possible thereafter. 

23. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may change this policy from time to time and will post those changes in the App. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information or personal data, we will notify you by email or by conspicuous notice within the App. Your continued use of the App after we notify or post changes to the policy is deemed to be agreement to and acceptance of those revised policy, so be sure to check this policy periodically for updates. The date the policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page.

24. Contact Information

Except as otherwise set forth above, to make any request permitted by this policy, ask questions, or comment about this policy, contact WorkLLama by mail at 3655 North Point Pkwy Suite 450, Alpharetta, GA 30005, by email at contact@workllama.com, or by phone at (404) 937-1971.
