Blue Chip Exec is
firmly committed to the privacy of the Execs, Hiring Managers and Networkers
registered on the Blue Chip Exec website (collectively, the "Members" and
individually, a "Member"). If you
have any questions or feedback regarding the Blue Chip Exec Privacy Policy,
please contact us by email at help@BlueChipExec.com.
Overview
Blue Chip Exec is
an online marketplace that connects Hiring Managers and Execs.
When an individual
becomes registered on the Blue Chip Exec website as an Exec, Hiring Manager or
Networker, s/he is asked to provide certain information about him/herself for
his/her member profile. In the case
of Execs, this information includes, but is not limited to, the individual's
skills, experience, education level, compensation, work availability, region,
self-evaluation, and member statistics. In the case of Hiring Managers, this information includes, but is not
limited to the individual's company, title , and division. In the case of Networkers, this
information includes, but is not limited to a description of the individual's
profession and industry specialties.
Blue Chip Exec
collects this information in order to provide optimum service and features that
can meet the needs of Members, including but not limited to matching
opportunities presented by Hiring Managers with relevant Execs.
The contact
information of Hiring Managers, Execs and Networkers will not be released to
third parties without Blue Chip Exec's oversight and approval. In addition,
Blue Chip Exec may disclose limited personal contact information to verified
requests by law enforcement and government officials in criminal investigations
and may require a subpoena for additional personal information.
Whether one
completes and submits a Registration Form and thereby applies to become a
Member is completely one's option.
Disclosure of Name and Contact Details Between and Among
Hiring Managers and Execs
Blue Chip Exec
provides Hiring Managers with limited profile information about Execs when
Hiring Managers search the Blue Chip Exec database. When doing so, the profiles of relevant Execs
will be displayed in search results without the Exec's name or contact
information. BCE may, at its discretion, reveal selective names and backgrounds
to hiring managers to help facilitate an introduction. Members who do not want their names
released even on a limited basis should request removal of their membership from
the Blue Chip Exec site by emailing help@BlueChipExec.com.

assured that Blue Chip Exec will not send spam to its Members, yet will provide

purposes.

prohibited from sending spam to other Members. If you are receiving spam from another
Member, please report the issue to Blue Chip Exec at help@BlueChipExec.com.
Disclosure

access to another Member's name and contact details in the course of using Blue
Chip Exec shall strictly protect such information, and shall not disclose such

topically relevant information and offers which are consistent with the
services of Blue Chip Exec.
