USER PRIVACY POLICY
The user Privacy Policy demonstrates our commitment to protecting the information you submit. This Privacy Policy only applies to data gathered on the Site, and does not apply to any other information or web Site. Please review this Privacy Policy periodically as we may update it from time to time. This Privacy Policy is effective as of March 1, 2006. Each time you visit the Site or provide us with information, you are, by doing so, accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy at that time. You agree that by using the Site you are expressly and affirmatively consenting to our use and disclosure of the information that you provide, and consenting to receive e-mails, as described in this Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy governs data collected through Gulfcana on-line operations only. Please note, as set forth in the Privacy Policy, that Gulfcana may collect certain personal information from users and may contact users periodically in accordance with the terms of the Privacy Policy. In addition, Gulfcana reserves the right to comply, in its sole discretion, with legal requirements, requests from law enforcement agencies or requests from government entities, even to the extent that such compliance may require disclosure of certain personal information collected from users. We do not sell our users' personal information to anyone for any reason if the user has indicated a desire for us to keep the information private. When posting jobs and resumes, the Site users decide on how much contact information they wish to display as the Site enables private communication for those who choose to hide their personal information.
All users should be aware, however, that when they voluntarily display or distribute personal information (such as their e-mail address or resume), that information can be collected and used by others. This may result in unsolicited messages from third parties for which Gulfcana.com is not responsible. Also, you may have arrived at this web Site by following a link from a Gulfcana.com newspaper affiliate or other affiliates. If so, please be aware that Gulfcana.com may share your information with that affiliate and the affiliate may use the information consistent with its Privacy Policy instead of this one.
Gulfcana.com may also disclose specific user information when we determine that such disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, to cooperate with or seek assistance from law enforcement or to protect the interests or safety of Gulfcana.com or other users of the Site. In addition, the personal Information we have collected may be passed on to a third party in the event of a transfer of ownership or assets or a bankruptcy of Gulfcana.com and we're constantly refining our privacy policy to ensure that you can get your job done - all on your own terms and completely anonymously if you so desire. So that you can be smarter about the way you manage your career, Gulfcana.com continues to strive to provide the safest possible environment for you to search and apply to jobs. However, we accept no liability for data supplied by any user for display on the Site and the respective limitations apply.

Job Posting Document: Your document(s) must contain sufficient detail to convey clearly to the user the nature and requirements of the job opportunity, or your qualifications as a candidate for employment. Documents that encourage the user to "e-mail for more details" are not permitted. Documents from any third party charging a fee or restricting complete access to all resume information are prohibited.
Resume Posting: Resume postings must contain the accurate resume of a living individual seeking employment on a full-time, part-time, or contractual basis on his or her own behalf. Posting your resume on Gulfcana.com puts you in front of thousands of employers with open positions each day. When you post your resume, we automatically create a registration for you using the email address and password that you supply. When you return to the Site in the future you will use that same e-mail address and password to access and edit your existing resume. We know that our job seekers have varying levels of comfort when it comes to posting their resume on the internet.
Resume Posting Options: To accommodate the needs of all users, Gulfcana offers you the following three posting options. Managing your privacy is as simple as selecting which pieces of your contact information are displayed. This is done in the section of the resume form called "My Profile." Using the Private Posting Option requires that you select the “Private” option from the " My Profile " section at the bottom of the Edit Form. Standard posting will give you the most visibility to the broadest employer audience possible; but, because your confidentiality is as important to us as it is to you, we also offer anonymous and private posting options.
· Standard Posting: This option gives you the most visibility to the broadest employer audience possible by making your resume searchable in the Site resume database.
· Confidential Posting: You can also post to the public resume database without any of your contact information being displayed. (If you use this option, be sure to remove your contact information from the body of the resume.) The confidential option also allows you to only display selected pieces of contact information.
· Private Posting: This option allows you to post your resume on Gulfcana.com without having it searched by employers. The benefit is that you can quickly and easily apply for jobs without retyping your information.
