This Privacy Policy explains how your personal information may be collected, used, or disclosed as a consequence of your activities on this Web site. We urge you to read it carefully.

By accessing, using and/or downloading materials from, or sending or posting materials to, TranslatorsCafe.com, you agree on your own behalf and on behalf of each entity on whose behalf you act, to the terms of this Privacy Policy and to the practices for the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information as described here.

Please note that this Site is also governed by the Terms and Conditions of Use and Forum Rules of Conduct. We urge you to review the Terms and Conditions of Use before proceeding further on this Web site.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Anonymous browsing

You can visit this Web Site without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself, including your e-mail address. In this case, our Web server collects the URL, the IP address and the domain you used to access TranslatorsCafe.com, the type and version of browser and operating system you are using, and the Web site you came from. This information is used by us to measure the number of visits, average time spent, pages viewed, and other general statistics about visitors to TranslatorsCafe.com. We may also use this data to monitor site performance for systems administration purposes, to make this site easier and more convenient to use.

Use of Data

As part of our services, TranslatorsCafé.com provides the opportunity for you to post your résumé, cover letter and other personal information such as results of your searches, your comments and ratings of the agencies you have worked with, or information about jobs that you post on the Job Board. This information will be safely stored on the server located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. We do not sell or distribute that information to any third party. You may make your information private by checking the Private check box if you only want to use TranslatorsCafé.com to send your résumé and cover letter to potential clients. In this case only you and the staff of TranslatorsCafé.com will have access to this information. If you choose to make your résumé public by clearing the Private check box, any third party can access it during their session with our server. However your e-mail address will not be exposed to the Internet because a special online form is used to send you messages from your profile. If at any time you would like your résumé and other information removed from our database, you may do so using the Delete My Profile from the Database function in the My TranslatorsCafé.com section. Please note, however, that when you are sending your résumé and cover letter to any third parties, your submissions will be subject to their privacy policies. In this case, your résumé and cover letter are outside the TranslatorsCafé.com site and TranslatorsCafé.com control. Although TranslatorsCafé.com uses every reasonable means to protect your personal information, we are not responsible for any improper use of your personal information once it is beyond the control of TranslatorsCafé.com. Please note that we do not sell or give your personal information contained in your profile to anyone at any time.

Note also that if you have participated in agency rating or posted jobs on the Job Board, you will not be able to remove your name from the database because rating or job posting cannot be anonymous. In this case, after clicking on the Delete My Profile from the Database button, your name and address will remain in the database but will not be displayed in the results of linguist searches. Your profile will be displayed to logged-in site members if they find jobs posted by you and click the name of the job poster.
