Licence to use data

34. Except for information that is 'personal information' (as that term is defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)), all data stored on the Site on behalf of the Member (Member Data), is owned by the Member, and not Himalayas. For the avoidance of doubt, the use of personal information of Candidates by Himalayas and/or the Employer is governed by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the terms of the relevant privacy policy of Himalayas and/or the Employer.

35. The Member hereby grants to Himalayas and Himalayas' related parties a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, irrevocable licence to use, copy, modify, distribute, publish and process, information and content that you provide through our Services and the services of others, without any further consent, notice and/or compensation to you or others. These rights are limited in the following ways:

  • You can end this license for specific content by deleting such content from the Services, or generally by closing your account, except (a) to the extent you shared it with others as part of the Service and they copied, re-shared it or stored it and (b) for the reasonable time it takes to remove from backup and other systems.
  • We will not include your content in advertisements for the products and services of third parties to others without your separate consent (including sponsored content)
  • While we may edit and make format changes to your content (such as translating or transcribing it, modifying the size, layout or file type or removing metadata), we will not modify the meaning of your expression.
  • Because you own your content and information and we only have non-exclusive rights to it, you may choose to make it available to others, including under the terms of a Creative Commons license.

36. We use the information and data that you provide and that we have about Job Seekers and Employers to make recommendations for content and features that may be useful to you. For example, we use data and information about you to recommend jobs to Job Seekers and Job Seekers to recruiters. Keeping your Member profile accurate and up to date helps us to make these recommendations more accurate and relevant.

37. Himalayas may use any data relating to the Member's use of, or engagement with the Site and/or the Member's use of Himalayas' products and Services (Ancillary Data) for any purpose it sees fit, unless such Ancillary Data would reasonably be considered confidential in nature. Himalayas may disclose Ancillary Data to its related parties.

38. You and Himalayas agree that we may access, store, process and use any information and personal data that you provide in accordance with the terms of the Privacy Policy and your choices (including settings).

39. By submitting suggestions or other feedback regarding our Services to Himalayas, you agree that Himalayas can use and share (but does not have to) such feedback for any purpose without compensation to you.

Communications

40. You agree that we will provide notices and messages to you in the following ways: (1) within the Service, or (2) sent to the contact information you provided us (e.g., email, mobile number, physical address). You agree to keep your contact information up to date. Please review your settings to control and limit messages you receive from us.

41. Our Services allow messaging and sharing of information in many ways, such as your profile, articles, group posts, links to job postings, and messages. Information and content that you share or post may be seen by other Job Seekers, Employers, Visitors or others (including off of the Services). Where we have made settings available, we will honor the choices you make about who can see content or information. For job searching activities, we default to not notifying your connections network or the public. So, if you apply for a job through our Service or opt to signal that you are interested in a job, our default is to share it only with the job poster. We are not obligated to publish any information or content on our Service and can remove it with or without notice.
