Privacy Policy

Welcome to WeRebase!

ThisPrivacy Policy applies to your use of the werebase.com website and the WeRebase Service (collectively “the WeRebase Service” or “the Service”), as well as your relationship with (“WeRebase”). This policy is part of WeRebase’s Terms of Service. By using our Service, you agree to both our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy; if you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

All definitions in our Terms of Service apply here as well.

From the very beginning, our goal has been to design privacy into our platform in a way that respects the rights of Users, and the needs of employers. We understand that User’s data privacy is a hot topic these days so we want to make clear the very basic privacy principles that guide our policies and practices:

Users are in complete control of what data they make public

We give Users control over whether they want to make their profile public to employers and what information they share on it. No student data uploaded to WeRebase is ever viewable by any employer until a student has chosen to make their profile public.

WeRebase will neither sell nor share personal User’s data

We have never done it and we never will! Our business model is based on offering valuable tools for our users and employer users that enhance the career discovery process. Your email address and personal data will never be sold or shared to any third party.

All our data is hosted on servers based in France.

You should read our fullPrivacy Policy to understand what data we collect, how we use it, and the limited circumstances where we may share it.

By using our Services, you consent to any transfer and processing in accordance with this Policy. If you have any questions, please contact us at info@werebase.com.

ThisPrivacy Policy may change over time. If we make minor changes to it without materially changing your rights, we will post the modified Policy on our website. We will notify you by email, through the WeRebase Service, or by presenting you with a newPrivacy Policy to accept if we make a modification that materially changes your rights. When you use the WeRebase Service after a modification is posted, you are telling us that you accept the modified terms.

What information we collect

We collect personal and non-personal data from you when you use our Services. Personal Data is data that includes a personal identifier like your name, email or address, phone number, picture, video, voice, IP address or device identifier, or is data that could reasonably be linked back to you. It also may include demographic information, geolocation information, educational information, or commercial information as described below.

You need to have an account to use WeRebase. You can create an account on WeRebase as a student seeking a job or career advice or as an employer looking for exciting new talent or professor.

User Data

We receive personal data about you when you create a User Account, update your profile, respond to questions or surveys on our website or otherwise use our Site and from other third party data sources.

From you, your account and your profile

You can choose to share additional information with us, such as but not limited to, updated email address, phone number, location coordinates and answers to questions about your interests and activities that will be covered by thisPrivacy Policy and our Terms of Service. You can also share this information by updating your profile, uploading documents that include personal information, or answering questions or surveys we email you or present to you on the Services. We will not use your phone number to send any commercial or marketing messages to you.

From employer reviews

We receive any personal information you choose to include in submitted employer reviews. WeRebase collects this information even if the review is not published or made public.

From communications, transcripts or recordings

We receive and store personal information when you choose to participate in a video or audio meeting or call or webinar initiated through the WeRebase Service or when you choose to communicate with other users by way of video, audio, or messaging during any WeRebase video or audio conference or call (collectively, “WeRebase Communications”). By participating in WeRebase Communications, you are giving WeRebase consent to store the content and recordings of any WeRebase Communications. For audio or video recordings, you will receive a notification (visual or otherwise) when recording is enabled, and you should leave the meeting or webinar if you do not consent to being recorded. If we use a third party video and/or communications service provider to facilitate WeRebase Communications, that service provider may not use your personal information or the content of the communications for any purpose other than to provide the service to us.

Usage and log data

When you visit the Site, we may log and store your IP Address and technical information about your visit like your browser type and how you progressed through the Site, where you abandoned it, etc. (“Usage Data”). We can use your IP address to determine your general location.

Mobile data

When you use the WeRebase mobile app, we collect analytic information about your device, such as IP address, OS version, and clickstream.

Precise location data

For a limited set of features, we allow users to opt-in to our collection of precise location data (GPS data). We only use this information to enable these features, such as displaying your precise location on a map at a career fair. We do not share precise location data with third parties, and we do not combine precise location data with personal information for advertising purposes.

Employer data

When Employers create a WeRebase Employer Account, we request contact information, including email address and telephone number, to provide a point of contact for the candidate and which will be made available on appropriate occasions (e.g., when an interview is scheduled). We will not use your phone number to send any commercial or marketing messages not related to your use of WeRebase Services to you without your express consent.

How we use your personal data (Candidate)

We use, process and store your Personal Data to provide the WeRebase Services and to maximize opportunities to connect you with potential employers. This includes:

Providing services such as allowing you to make appointments with career center professionals or sign up for career fairs and other events.
Delivering job opportunities and communications from potential employers by email in accordance with your account settings and communication preferences.
Allowing you to contact employers and employers to contact you through the WeRebase Service, including by way of messaging, audio and video conferencing, and webinars.
Allowing you to post reviews and other content on employers and employment experiences.
Personalizing the Service. For example, we may suggest employers to you based on the information in your resume or the demographic information you provide or suggest students with public profiles to employers based on search criteria.

Researching new ways to improve the WeRebase Services.

When we may share your personal data

We will only share your personal data under the following circumstances:

With your consent. For example, you may choose to make your profile public so that we can share it with employers through the Services or choose to apply to a job and we will share your profile information, resume and transcript with the employers you choose. Employers are required to only use WeRebase data to provide employment services and to safeguard any personal data they receive. You may also choose to make your profile public to specific audiences to help grow your professional brand and network. When posting an employer review or other related content, you may choose to publish your name and profile alongside the content publicly.
With your consent, with vendors that are contractually engaged to provide us with services, such as cloud service providers, WeRebase Communication related telecommunications services, and other services for maintaining our systems, order fulfillment, email management and credit card processing. These companies are obligated by contract to safeguard any personal data they receive from us.
With relevant law enforcement bodies if we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, valid legal process (e.g., subpoenas or warrants served on us), or governmental or regulatory request, to enforce or apply the Terms of Service, to protect the security or integrity of the WeRebase Service, and/or to protect the rights, property, or safety of WeRebase, its employees, users, or others. If we are going to release your data, we will do our best to provide you with notice in advance by email, unless we are prohibited by law from doing so.
With professional services, potential purchasers or investors in connection with the sale, merger, bankruptcy, sale of assets or reorganization of our company. We will notify you if a different company will receive your personal data and the promises in thisPrivacy Policy will apply to your data as transferred to the new entity.

When we use and share non-personal data

Non-personal data is data that itself cannot reasonably be linked back to you or data that is combined with other data in a way that cannot reasonably be linked back to you. We use and share your non-personal, de-identified or aggregated data in a variety of ways to help our Partners and the public understand trends in the job seeking market through analytics reports, statistics and other metrics and guides. For example, to understand:

What percentage of students from certain colleges work in a specific geographic area.
Whether a certain major or extra-curricular activity fits well with a particular employer’s hiring patterns.
How employers compare to each other in the number of applicants they receive from different colleges.
