in any other fashion.
Collection and Retention of Information
In some areas of our Web sites, EDJOIN requests or may request that you provide
personal information, including your name, address, e-mail address, telephone, social
security number, contact information and any other information from which your identity
is discernible. In other areas, EDJOIN collects or may collect demographic information
that is not unique to you such as your ZIP code, age, preferences, gender or interests.
Sometimes we collect or may collect a combination of the two types of information.
Examples of areas on EDJOIN Web sites where we collect personal or combined personal
and demographic data are the EDJOIN Interest Card and the online Job Application.
We also gather or may gather certain information about your use of our site, such
as what areas you visit and what services you access. Moreover, there is information
about your computer hardware and software that is or may be collected by EDJOIN.
This information can include without limitation your IP address, browser type, domain
names, access times and referring Web site addresses.
Since we believe that managing your career is a life-long process, we retain indefinitely

us more efficient, practical, and relevant. Of course, you can correct or update
your EDJOIN account profile and resume at any time. Moreover, you can delete your
resume and profile from our online database or close your EDJOIN account at any
time, in which event your EDJOIN account profile information will no longer be searchable

of your application information will still be available to districts/organizations
to whom you have submitted your application using EDJOIN.

subparagraphs.
Educational organizations in California to whom you submit your job applications
will have access to all of the information provided in your EDJOIN job application

contact information you provide on your job application.
Educational organizations in California who use the EDJOIN system to post jobs also
have the ability to search the job applications in the EDJOIN system. In addition,
the California Teacher Recruitment Centers and the CalTeach organization can search

the EDJOIN system. These entities may contact you using any of the contact information
provided in your EDJOIN profile or online application.

There are email messages that are automatically generated by the EDJOIN system.
For example, you should receive an email message from the system whenever you apply
for a job on EDJOIN. This email will contain your EDJOIN username and password and

organizations that use EDJOIN can send email to you using the system. These email
messages can also have your username and password appended to them. You’re EDJOIN
username and password is not viewable by the educational organizations that use
EDJOIN. The username and password is simply appended to their email message by the
system when the message is sent.
Use of Cookies

password and preferences). Because of our use of cookies, we can deliver faster
and more accurate results and a more personalized site experience. When you return

you can easily use the features that you customized.

accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline all cookies
if you prefer. Alternatively, you may be able to modify your browser setting to
notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies
on an individual basis. If you choose to decline cookies, however, that may hinder
performance and negatively impact your experience on the EDJOIN Web site.
