Privacy Policy

OneWire Inc. (“OneWire”) knows that you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By using the OneWire website located at www.onewire.com (the “Site”), you are accepting the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?
This Privacy Policy covers OneWire’s treatment of personal information that OneWire gathers when you are on the Site and when you use OneWire’s services (the “Services”). This policy also covers OneWire’s treatment of any personal information that OneWire’s business partners share with OneWire.

This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that OneWire does not own or control, or to individuals that OneWire does not employ or manage.

What Personal Information About Users Does OneWire Collect?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a customized, efficient and effective job-seeking experience. We collect the following types of information from our users:

Information You Provide to Us

  • We receive and store any information you enter on the Site or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our Site’s features. The personal information you provide to us is used to match you with appropriate potential employers, as well as to customize the advertising and content you see, and to communicate with you about our products and services. In order for you to use our Site, you must register. We require certain information including your real name, email address, street address, city, state, country, and zip code. You may also provide information regarding your work and life experiences and other demographic information. This information is optional, but by including it you enable us to provide you with more personalized services.

  • We provide you with the ability to control which, if any, of your personal registration information is shared with other OneWire users. You choose the information that you make public in your OneWire user profile; you may keep all of your personal information, including your real name, private. When choosing which of your personal information to make public, keep in mind that your resume or other information you provide to us may reveal your identity. It is your responsibility, not OneWire’s, to ensure that you do not make public information which may identify you. In the event OneWire determines that you meet the criteria submitted by an employer seeking to fill a position, OneWire will notify that employer and disclose to them the profile information, if any, that you have elected to make public. If the employer indicates to OneWire that it is interested in contacting you, OneWire will notify you via email and you may disclose your complete user profile to such employer or recruiter. OneWire will never share your user profile information with a potential employer or another OneWire user without your consent. As mentioned above, this privacy policy does not apply to entities other than OneWire, so once you disclose personal information to a potential employer, OneWire does not control how that party uses and discloses your personal information. Despite best efforts, OneWire cannot guaranty the privacy of personal information submitted by Users. Also note that if you exchange messages with a potential employer to whom you were introduced through OneWire, such employer may retain the message history after you terminate communications and/or close your OneWire user profile to them.

Automatic Information

  • We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. OneWire automatically receives and records certain "traffic data" on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, OneWire cookie information, and the page you requested. OneWire uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its server, analyze trends and administer the Site.

  • Generally, our service automatically collects usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Site and its components, similar to TV ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show. This data is only used in the aggregate. This type of collective data enables us to figure out how often users use parts of the Site, so we can make the Site appealing to as many users as possible. In addition, we may provide statistical information, not information about you personally, to our partners about how our users, collectively, use our Site. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use our Site, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal web experience.

email Communications
OneWire will communicate with you through email and notices posted on the Site or through any other means available through the Service, including text and other forms of messaging. If we send any communications to you via the carrier service with which you have a mobile communications subscription or otherwise have access, you understand you will pay any service fees associated with any such access (including text messaging charges to message your mobile device). You will receive emails from OneWire related to the proper functioning of your account, such as email notices when a potential employer expresses interest in reviewing your user profile.

We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from OneWire if your computer supports this type of program, in order to help us make emails more interesting and helpful. We also send out emails with news or promotions. If you do not want to receive promotional emails from us, please contact us at support@onewire.com.

Information from Other Sources
For purposes such as improving personalization of our service, we may receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. Like the information you provide to us, we do not share this information with anyone except authorized third parties in connection with providing you with our Service.

What about Cookies?

  • Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our Site are visited and by how many people. OneWire cookies do not collect personal information, and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information to tell us who you are or what your name or email address is.

  • The “help” portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies enable you to take advantage of some of OneWire’s most attractive features.

  • Some of our business partners may use cookies on our Site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

Will OneWire Share Any of The Information It Receives?
Information about our users is an integral part of our business. We neither rent nor sell your personal information to anyone. We share your personal information only as described below.

  • Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control
    In certain situations, OneWire may provide services, or sell products jointly with affiliated businesses. We will share customer information that is related to such transactions with that affiliated business. We require our affiliates to provide the same level of privacy protection that we do and they do not have the right to share or use personal information for any purpose other than for an authorized transaction. OneWire may share aggregated demographic information, including but not limited to users’ gender, race, ethnicity and compensation, with business partners.

  • Agents
    We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. Examples include removing repetitive information from user profiles, analyzing data, and providing user assistance. Our agents subscribe to the same level of privacy protection as we do. Unless we tell you differently, OneWire’s agents do not have any right to use the personal information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.

  • Information You Post
    If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

  • Business Transfers
    In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if OneWire, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred.

  • Protection of OneWire and Others
    We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with the law; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of OneWire, our employees, our users, or others. OneWire may disclose personal information to parties in compliance with OneWire's Copyright Policy, as OneWire in its sole discretion believes necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. In such events, OneWire may disclose name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, and email address.

  • With Your Consent
    Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your personal information may be shared with third parties.

Is Information About Me Secure?

  • Your OneWire account information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You need to work to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by signing off once you have finished using a shared computer.

  • We use industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software to protect the security of your personal information during transmission, which encrypts all of the information you input.

  • Only employees who need personal information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to it. All of our employees are kept up to date on our privacy and security practices.

What Information Can I Access?
OneWire allows you to access the following information about you for the singular purpose of viewing, and in certain situations, updating that information.

  • You are able to add or update your personal information. When you update information, however, we often maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records.

  • You may delete information in your user profile. You may also request deletion of your OneWire account by sending an email to support@onewire.com. Please note that some information may remain in our records after deletion of your account.

  • If you do not wish to receive email or other mail from us, please email us at support@onewire.com. Please note, however, that if you elect not to receive email from us, you will not be able to use the Site for its purpose of linking users with employment opportunities. Please note that if you do not want to receive legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Policy, those legal notices will still govern your use of the Site, and you are responsible for reviewing such legal notices for changes.

  • As explained earlier, the “help” portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. Please note, however, that if you do not allow cookies, you will not be able to take advantage of some of our features.

  • As stated previously, you can always opt not to disclose information, even though it may be needed to take advantage of the functionality of the OneWire Site and Service.
