iTrack Privacy Policy

iTrack logo imageThe School of Information is committed to ensuring the privacy of users of its iTrack system.

The iTrack system is run in partnership with NACELink, the nationwide college recruiting system of the National Association of Colleges and Employers, which is a nonprofit professional organization for career centers and employers.

If you have questions, you may review NACELink's own privacy policy →.

Student and alumni information collected


iTrack collects the following user information from registered students and alumni:

  • Contact information including name, address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, personal Web site URL, and e-mail address. Required information collected includes name and e-mail address.
  • Educational information including degree(s) from the University of Michigan School of Information, as well as previous institutions, major/specialization, graduation month and year, class standing, cumulative GPA, and major/specialization GPA. Required information collected includes degree, major/specialization, and graduation month and year.
  • Although not required, demographic information including work authorization, VISA type, gender, ethnicity, and ADA accommodation needs.
  • Employment preferences including date available, travel percentage, willingness to relocate, job search status, preferred job type, preferred job function and industry, work experience, and preferred state and country.

The University of Michigan School of Information provides a link from the SI Career Services Web site to iTrack. Students and alumni access iTrack directly from this link and create a personal password at the time of registration. Students and alumni input their data directly into the iTrack system. Candidates may change or correct personal information at any time. NACE has access to personal information only for the purpose of providing customer service, trouble shooting, and technical services.

Use of personally identifiable candidate information by SI Career Services


Through iTrack, students and alumni can view jobs, post resumes, and apply for jobs. The information in a candidate's profile is used by SI Career Services for advising on job searches, promoting programs and services, and notifying candidates of employment opportunities. Personally identifiable information is not released to third parties.

SI Career Services may conduct searches on resumes and candidate profiles to notify candidates of education or employment opportunities through e-mail communications. By entering data into the iTrack system, students and alumni may have data included in aggregate reports used for evaluation of employment activities, for evaluation of educational programs, and for reports developed for placement and salary surveys externally and internally.

NACE cannot use or sell individual candidate data. Unlike commercial vendors, NACE staff cannot look at individual data. Only SI Career Services staff can retrieve individual candidate data.

Students and alumni should contact SI Career Services if they have any concerns about the use of their information or if they want to view, correct, or change their information.

Employer Access to student and alumni information


Employers using iTrack have access to student and alumni resumes for recruiting and hiring purposes only. Student and alumni profile data and resumes are housed on NACElink's servers. There are two resume databases in the NACElink system: a central global resume database and a local resume database. Resumes of students and alumni will be automatically placed in the local resume database upon submission. Students and alumni will then have the option of placing their resume in the central global resume database. Students and alumni may remove their resumes from that service any time.

Employer information collected


iTrack collects the following user information from participating employers:

  • Contact information including organization name, address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, fax number, Web site URL, description, and industry, and the contact's name(s), address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, fax number, and e-mail address.

Screening of employment opportunities


Employment vacancies reported directly to the University of Michigan School of Information Career Services are screened for completeness, accuracy, and appropriateness for SI candidates.

Other vacancies posted on the global NACElink system may or may not be reviewed before posting. Candidates are urged to thoroughly review job postings and use caution and common sense when applying. Do not disclose social security numbers, credit card information, or bank account numbers to prospective employers.

Use of employer information by the University of Michigan School of Information Career Services


The University of Michigan School of Information Career Services uses the account profiles in iTrack to notify employers of recruiting services and events and to market the school and its students. Employers may receive e-mails, e-newsletters, or hard-copy mailings from SI Career Services.

The name and e-mail address of an individual employer contact are not released to the School of Information students or alumni unless the contact has visited campus as an on-campus interviewing recruiter, has associated his or her name with a current job posting, or has specifically requested us to do so. Corporate information for the organization including addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses may be made available to candidates at the discretion of SI Career Services and according to current program and recruiting needs.

Security


Personally identifiable information is protected both on- and offline. Student, alumni, and employer data are password protected. All personally identifiable information collected is stored on limited-access servers. Data are stored and secured on NACE SQL servers, which are also secure. NACElink has technical, administrative, and physical security measures and safeguards in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information under NACE's control.

Privacy Policy changes


The University of Michigan School of Information Career Services and NACE may deem it necessary or appropriate from time to time to modify this privacy policy to reflect changes in the way SI and NACE collect or use information or changes in privacy-related laws, regulations, or industry standards. Accordingly, SI Career Services and NACE reserve the right to change this privacy statement at any time by posting the revised policy on this site. Information will be handled according to the privacy statement in effect at the time the information is used.
