Privacy Policy

Thank you for accessing the website developed by Rhino-Hide, Inc. and its affiliates (“We,” “Company,” or “Us”).  We welcome you and hope you find our website and related tools (individually and collectively, the “Tools”), helpful and efficient.  We have developed this Privacy Policy to govern how we collect and use the Data (defined below) in connection with our provision of the Tools to our clients.  This Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Use (“Agreement”) https://rhino-hide.com/terms-of-use/ as if it were set forth full in the Agreement.

CONSENT

By using the Tools, you consent to our use of your Data as described in this Privacy Policy. You may withdraw this consent at any time.  However, this may result in your inability to continue using some or all of the Tools, and your withdrawal of consent does not limit our ability to use the Data you have previously provided to the extent such use is allowed by law and to the extent such use involves use of Data that has been aggregated and anonymized for use by us in connection with the Tools.

INTENDED USERS

The Tools are directed solely to persons 16 years of age or older.  We do not knowingly gather information from visitors who are under 16. If we become aware that we have gathered information from a person under 16, then we will attempt to delete such information as soon as possible. If you believe that we have gathered Information from a person under 16, please contact us at [email protected].

INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

We use three categories of data to provide the Tools.  When this Agreement uses the term “Data” alone and without other qualification, it refers to all three categories.

1. Contact Data:  Contact Data consists of the name, e-mail address and other contact information you or other users provide using the Tools.  Contact information is accessible only by us and the client or vendor with whom you associate your registration.  You consent to the use of your Contact Data for the legitimate business purposes of us and our clients, including the creation of a company directory for the inter-company use of our clients.
2. Personal Data:  Personal Data consists of all the personal information you or other users input into the Tools and that clients or vendors input or process about you, your employment, and any other information about you (other than the Contact Data) or other users.  It includes, without limitation, employment history and qualifications, resume, salary or hourly rates, tax information, employee reviews, and all other personal information (other than the Contact Data).  Your Personal Data is accessible only to us, to you, and to any third party necessary to the relationship between you and us.  We do not share it with third parties, but we may use Personal Data to make inferences that help us provide and improve the Tools.  We may also use Personal Data in an aggregated format that is not identifiable to any individual, and that aggregated information belongs solely to us.  To the extent we are required to delete any Personal Data about you, we will still retain aggregated and anonymized information that may have originated as your Personal Data.
3. Usage Data:  Usage Data consist of information relating to your use of the Tools, such as the device you use, how often you access the Tools and at what times, information gathered through cookies and other technical tools, and similar related usage information.  Usage Data is accessible to us and to you.

If we plan to use this information in the future for any other purposes not identified above, we will only do so after informing you by updating this Privacy Policy.
