This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes Hyr and its affiliates (“Flexiwork Limited”,”our”) privacy principles in addition to our practices for gathering, storing, and using the User’s personal information through our website, www.joinHyr.com (the “Site”) and our web/mobile application (the “Application”) (collectively the “Services”). Hyr encourages the User to review this information so that the User may understand and consent to how Hyr may collect, use, and share the User’s personal information. If the User does not provide sufficient personal information, Hyr may be unable to properly assist the User with Hyr Services. By visiting the Site or using the Application, the User agrees that the User’s personal information will be handled as described in this Policy. The User’s use of our Site and Application, and any dispute over privacy, is subject to this Policy and our Terms of Use, including its applicable limitations on damages and the resolution of disputes. Terms defined in the Terms of Use have the same meaning in this Policy, unless otherwise stated.
1. Collection of User Information
Users voluntarily provide information to Hyr for the purpose of being connected with other Users for opportunities that will best match their skills and requirements. Some of the information collected may be personally identifiable, including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and other personal information. Should a User have any concerns related to providing information to Hyr or having such information presented on the Services, he/she should not become a User of the Services or, if applicable, close any existing Account. Please note that should a User choose not to provide Hyr with certain identifying information, the User may be unable to use certain features of the Services. Interactions with Hyr-related websites, platforms, and mobile applications may result in the collection, processing, and storage of information, including information the User may provide to Hyr, such as through surveys, interactions with our Social Media, or other mediums used to contact Hyr. Instead of having to type in the User’s personal information, Hyr may allow the User from time to time to use third-party authentication tools such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google to populate certain fields. By authenticating through one of the social media options, the User consents to allowing Hyr to receive the User’s personal and other information that is accessible through these tools. This information may be incorporated into the User’s profile. For any such tool the User chooses to use, Hyr encourages the User to also review the tool provider’s privacy policy and any terms and conditions.
