(a) comply with the law or respond to lawful requests or legal process;

Advertising display
Curriculo websites may display advertising from Curriculo or one of our affiliates or partners.
When we display online advertisements to you, we will place a persistent cookie on your computer in order to recognise your computer each time we display an ad to you. Because we may serve advertisements on many different websites, we are able to compile information over time about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw and/or clicked on the advertisements we display. We use this information to make predictions about your characteristics, interests or preferences and to display targeted advertisements that we believe may be of interest to you.
While we may use some of the information we collect in order to personalise the advertisements we show you, we designed our systems to select advertisements based only on data that does not personally and directly identify you.
For example, we may select the advertisements we display according to certain general interest categories or segments that we have inferred based on (a) demographic or interest data, including any you may have provided when creating an account (e.g. age, postcode, gender), demographic or interest data acquired from other companies and a general geographic location derived from your IP address, (b) the pages you view and links you click when using Curriculo and its advertising partners’ websites and services and (c) the search terms you enter when using Curriculo search services or those included in Curriculo websites from third parties such as Google Search.
Security of your personal information
Curriculo is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure.
Only your username may be displayed publicly via the forums. Account passwords are encrypted. Other account details are only accessible to Curriculo administration for troubleshooting purposes.
To minimise the loss, corruption or miss-use of personal information, we conduct automated password protected backups of our database. We also conduct regular tests, industry standard vulnerability scans and virus scans to increase security.
If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to your information from subsequent users.
