We regard our clients' privacy as one of our most important values. We want you to know how we protect client information and what choices you have about its use. We believe VCXPRESS.COM's Privacy Policy should give you confidence whenever you use VCXPRESS.COM-- 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days of the year.

We have organized our policy into three parts: 

(1) We outline our Eight Principles of Privacy, our core commitment to protect your privacy.

(2) We explain how we implement each principle. You can click on any principle to read the policy.

(3) We provide Helpful Tips on how you can better protect your privacy in cyberspace.

VCXPRESS.COM'S PRIVACY COMMITMENT:
THE EIGHT PRINCIPLES OF PRIVACY

We are committed to protecting your personal privacy. Our Eight Principles of Privacy summarize and clarify that commitment: how we safeguard your privacy, how we treat personal information, and what choices you have. We understand that for you to take full advantage of the benefits of this interactive medium, we must do everything we can to ensure that your privacy is secure.

1. We do not read your private online communications. 

2. We do not use any information about where you personally go on VCXPRESS.COM or the Web, and we do not give it out to others. 

3. We do not give out your telephone number, credit card information or screen names, unless you authorize us to do so. And we give you the opportunity to correct your personal contact and billing information at any time.

4. We may use information about the kinds of products you buy from us to make other marketing offers to you, unless you tell us not to. We do not give out this purchase data to others.

5. We give you choices about how VCXPRESS.COM uses your personal information in communications with recruiters and hiring managers. 

6. We take extra steps to protect the safety and privacy of children.

7. We use secure technology, privacy protection controls and restrictions on employee access in order to safeguard your personal information.

8. We will keep you informed, clearly and prominently, about what we do with your personal information, and we will advise you if we change our policy. 


(1) We do not read your private online communications. 

VCXPRESS.COM honors the confidentiality of its clients' private communications in e-mail (including downloads), as well as any profile data you may create, such as a career profile. VCXPRESS.COM does not read or disclose private communications except to comply with valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order, to protect the company's rights and property, or during emergencies when we believe physical safety is at risk. 

(2) We do not use any information about where you personally go on VCXPRESS.COM or the Web, and we do not give it out to others. 

Our system automatically gathers information about the areas you visit on our service. 

We do not use any of this navigational data about where you -- as an individual member -- go on the service. Nor do we share any of this data with outside companies.

We do use navigational information in the aggregate to understand how our clients as a group use the service so that we can make VCXPRESS.COM better. We may also share this statistical information with our partners or other outside companies, but in doing so, we don't disclose individual names or personal navigational information. 

We do not keep track of where you go on the World Wide Web.

The Web sites you visit may have their own privacy policies or no policy at all. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of Web sites before providing them with any of your personal information.

(3) We do not give out your telephone number, credit card information or screen names, unless you authorize us to do so. And we give you the opportunity to correct your personal contact and billing information at any time.

When you become a VCXPRESS.COM client, we ask you for your name, address, telephone number, and billing information-including the credit card, checking account, or debit card used to pay for your account -- and other information about your work history. Here is how we protect that information:

* VCXPRESS.COM will not give out your telephone number or screen names (e-mail addresses), except where needed to deliver a product or service you ordered. 

* We will not give out your credit or debit card number or checking account information unless you authorize it, for example, during an online purchase. 

* We will not give out information that would link your screen names with your actual name. 

We make lists of clients' names and addresses available to pre-screened companies who have specific direct mail product and service offers we think may be of interest to you. We also sometimes combine these lists with publicly available information or segment them based on other information, such as when a client first used the service. These lists are never based on a client's online activities. 

You may choose to remove your name and address from the mailing lists we provide to other companies. For more information about your choices, please see Principle 5. 

We also collect and use other information for internal purposes. For example, we keep records in your account history of your complaints about clients' online behavior, your contact with VCXPRESS.COM customer service and any reported violations of our Terms of Service (TOS) that you or someone on your account may have committed. Finally, we sometimes use information about your geographical location to provide localized service. 

We have two exceptions to these policies: We will release specific information about your account only to comply with valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order, or in special cases such as a physical threat to you or others. 

We provide you with the opportunity to update or correct your contact and billing information that we have on file. Just as you want to make sure that information VCXPRESS.COM has about you is accurate, we want to keep only the most up-to-date information about your account. Therefore, whenever you believe that your contact or billing information needs updating, you should notify us immediately.

(4) We may use information about the kinds of products you buy from VCXPRESS.COM to make other marketing offers to you, unless you tell us not to. We do not give out this purchase data to others.

Your Services From VCXPRESS.COM

VCXPRESS.COM offers our clients the opportunity to buy specific services. Like other service providers, we record information about such purchases. When you use or service, our system automatically gathers purchase data, and we also record information about purchases made through our telemarketing, mail order and other marketing operations.

We use this information in two ways:

1) We review what kinds of products and services appeal most to our clientss as a group. This statistical information helps us improve our offerings in the same way that other companies change their services based on what sells best.

2) We use information such as the number of purchases members make and the categories of services they buy to make offers to you that we believe will interest you. In addition, we use other information such as when clientss joined VCXPRESS.COM, how often they use the service or their type of computer system to make such offers. We also use publicly available consumer data to help us decide which marketing offers to make and which advertising they see.

You may choose not to receive marketing offers from . For more information about your choices, please see Principle 5.
VCXPRESS.COM

We do not give out any information about what you, as an individual, purchase from VCXPRESS.COM, except to complete your transactions, or to comply with valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order. We share with outside companies only statistical information about what VCXPRESS.COM services our clientss -- as a group -- buy. 

(5) We give you choices about how VCXPRESS.COM uses your personal information. 

You have choices about how the information you have provided may be used by us to make special offers to you. And you can direct us to remove your name and address from mailing lists we provide to selected, pre-screened companies. 

* You may choose not to receive marketing offers from VCXPRESS.COM by U.S. mail.

* You may choose not to receive marketing offers from VCXPRESS.COM by telephone.

* You may choose not to receive marketing offers from VCXPRESS.COM by e-mail. 

* You may choose not to receive marketing offers from VCXPRESS.COM through online "pop-up screens." 

* You may choose to have your name and address removed from any mailing lists that we provide to other companies.


(6) We take extra steps to protect the safety and privacy of children.

Young people need special safeguards and privacy protection. We realize they may not understand all the provisions of our policy or be able to make thoughtful decisions about the choices available to adult clients. 

* Unsolicited e-mail is a problem for everyone, but it is particularly a problem for children. This includes mail that could contain content you may not want your children to see, or mail that may ask for information you would not want your children to give out.

If you want to minimize the unsolicited e-mail your children receive, your Internet Service Provider may offer systems to block all e-mail from the Internet or to select the e-mail addresses from which you wish to allow your children to receive e-mail. Remember that screen names and information voluntarily given by children and teens in public chat rooms, e-mail exchanges, message boards, and other online communications are publicly available and may be used by other parties to generate unsolicited e-mail. 

(7) We use secure technology, privacy protection controls and restrictions on employee access in order to safeguard your personal information.

We use state-of-the-art technology to keep your personal information-including your billing and account information -- as secure as possible. We also have put in place privacy protection control systems designed to ensure that your personal data remain safe and private.

Each and every VCXPRESS.COM employee must abide by VCXPRESS.COM's privacy policy. Only authorized VCXPRESS.COM employees are permitted to have access to your personal information and such access is limited by need. For example, if you call our Customer Service department with a concern or complaint, the representative is allowed to access only the personal information that he or she needs to address your concern. In addition, any company with which VCXPRESS.COM contracts to be our agent in conducting our business is required to adhere to confidentiality agreements to ensure that your information remains safe and secure.

All VCXPRESS.COM employees are required to acknowledge that they understand and will comply with this privacy policy. Employees who violate our privacy policies are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. 

We strongly encourage our content, commerce and advertising partners to post clearly their own privacy policies and to have privacy control systems in place to protect your personal information. Be sure to review their privacy policies and contact them directly if you have any questions.

(8) We will keep you informed, clearly and prominently, about what we do with your personal information, and we will advise you if we change our policy. 

A key part of VCXPRESS.COM's commitment to protecting your privacy is explaining to you how we may use your personal information. This privacy policy serves that purpose, and it is accessible through several means within our service. When you register for our service, you are presented with our privacy policy and should familiarize yourself with this and all other VCXPRESS.COM policies at that time. 

Whenever we change our policy, we will give you 30 days' notice of those changes through prominent disclosures, including notification on our front screen. If policy changes are substantial, we will notify each of our clients individually through pop-up screens or e-mails. 

If you'd like to comment on or have questions about our privacy policy, or if you have a concern or policy violation you wish to report, please e-mail us at .


FIVE TIPS TO HELP YOU PROTECT 
YOUR PRIVACY AND SECURITY ONLINE

You can take the responsibility to protect your personal privacy online. Here is a checklist that will help safeguard your privacy and protect the integrity of your computer and VCXPRESS.COM account. We urge you to print these tips and post them near your computer for you and your children.

_____ (1) Never give your password to anyone online. Never give your billing information except to facilitate a purchase.



_____ (2) Setting up a Client Profile about yourself can be a good way of connecting with recruiters and hiring managers. But be aware that Client Profiles are public. It's a good idea to avoid including information that could allow people to find you offline, such as your phone number or exact street address.

_____ (3) Your computer cannot catch a virus by opening a piece of e-mail. But if the e-mail asks for a password or billing information, or contains a file attachment from someone you don't know, notify us immediately at .

_____ (4) Never download files unless you know what they are and who sent them to you. Computer viruses and destructive programs that could cause your computer to divulge personal information are often transferred in cleverly disguised files. 

_____ (5) When you leave the VCXPRESS.COM environment to go on the Web, you may want to check the sites you visit to see if they have a privacy policy. Take special care to protect your personal information and your screen name, since the operators of Web sites are not bound by VCXPRESS.COM's privacy policy.
