Q2 What is Our Privacy Policy?

This Privacy Policy discloses how we collect, use, and share personally identifiable information gathered about you online in connection with our recruiting and staffing activities. When this Privacy Policy uses the term "personally identifiable information," we mean information that identifies a particular individual, such as the individual's name, postal address, e-mail address, and telephone number. When other information, such as, for example, professional qualifications, is directly associated with personally identifiable information, this other information also becomes personally identifiable information for purposes of this policy. Personally identifiable information is sometimes referred to in this Privacy Policy as "personal information." This Privacy Policy applies only to personal information collected on the Website(s) where this Privacy Policy is posted. The terms of this Privacy Policy do not govern any other collection, use or sharing of data about you by WDAS.

Kids' Privacy Policy
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from kids under the age of 13 under this Privacy Policy.

Q3 What types of information are we collecting online and how are we collecting it?

Information You Provide
Much of the personally identifiable information we collect comes directly from you. Typically, this information includes your first and last name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, educational history and work history. We may collect personal information when you register on, log on, or visit the Website, including, without limitation, when such personal information in contained in résumés or other materials you submit on the Website.

Information Collected Through Technology
We may collect information through technology to make the Website more useful. For instance, when you come to the Website, we may collect your IP address. An IP address is often associated with the portal through which you enter the Internet, like your ISP (Internet service provider), your company, or your university. Standing alone, your IP address is not personally identifiable. At times, we may also use IP addresses to collect information regarding the frequency with which our users visit various parts of the Website. We may combine this information with personally identifiable information.

Cookies and web beacons are pieces of information that a website sends to your computer while you are viewing the Website. The Website may use cookies and web beacons for the purpose of aiding your use of the Website. At times we may use these technical methods to collect information that is personally identifiable.

We may use and share personally identifiable information as described below.

Personally identifiable information collected under this Privacy Policy is used by WDAS to evaluate and process your application for employment and other staffing opportunities offered by WDAS and/or other members of The Walt Disney Family of Companies.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information
WDAS and other members of The Walt Disney Family of Companies may take your personally identifiable information and make it non-personally identifiable, either by combining it with information about other individuals (aggregating your information with information about other individuals), or by removing characteristics (such as your full name) that make the information personally identifiable to you (de-personalizing your information).

Other Members of The Walt Disney Family of Companies
WDAS may share your personal information with other members of The Walt Disney Family of Companies so that they may evaluate and process your application in consideration for employment and other staffing opportunities available with such members of The Walt Disney Family of Companies.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q6 How will we notify you of changes in this Privacy Policy?

If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy that affect the way we use, and/or share personal information you have already provided to us pursuant to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by sending you an e-mail at the last e-mail address that you provided us, and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on the Website covered by this Privacy Policy. Any such amendment to this Privacy Policy will be effective thirty (30) calendar days following either our dispatch of an e-mail notice to you or our posting of notice of the changes on the Website(s) covered by this Privacy Policy. As our services develop and improve, we may adopt other methods of informing you of such material changes or revisions. In the event that the last e-mail address that you have provided us is not valid, or for any other reason is not capable of delivering to you the notice described above, our dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice of the changes described in the notice. If you do not wish to permit changes in our use of your information, you must so notify us at the e-mail address provided below in Q7 prior to the effective date of the changes.
