Privacy Policy

Welcome to Handshake, a career services platform that connects students, schools, and employers to democratize the job finding experience, in college and beyond.

From the very beginning, our goal has been to design privacy into our platform in a way that respects the rights of students, the obligations of colleges and universities, and the needs of employers. This policy (the “Privacy Policy”) describes how Stryder Corp. dba Handshake (“Handshake”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and shares your personal data. By “personal data”, “personal information” or similar terms, we mean any data relating to an identified or identifiable natural person that is processed by us in accordance with this Privacy Policy and that is subject to applicable data privacy laws.

The Privacy Policy applies to your access and use of Handshake’s user-facing application commonly known as “Handshake” and the features therein, websites, including without limitation the joinhandshake.com website, tools, data, and documentation (collectively the “Services”). This Privacy Policy is part of Handshake’s Terms of Service. By using the Services, you agree to both our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy; if you do not agree, please do not use the Services. Unless otherwise stated, defined terms used in this Privacy Policy have the meanings associated with them in our Terms of Service.

This Privacy Policy was last updated on the date indicated above. We’re constantly trying to make improvements to our Services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If any changes are made, we’ll post them on this page, so please be sure to check back periodically. When you continue to use the Services after changes have been posted, you are telling us that you agree to and accept the revised Privacy Policy.

Personal Data We Collect

Users need to establish an account to fully access the Services. You can create an account on Handshake as a student seeking a job or career advice, as a representative of an employer working with Handshake to find exciting new talent (“Employer Partner”), or as a career center professional at a college or university working with Handshake (“University Partner”). For more information on account creation, please review Handshake’s Terms of Service.

• Information From University Partners. When University Partners sign up for Handshake, they send us certain personal data about their students so that Handshake may pre-populate accounts to provide the Services. It is up to each University Partner to choose what information it shares, but this data may include the student’s first and last name, mailing address, email address, major, and/or GPA. Where the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) applies to data shared by University Partners, it is processed in compliance with the statute.
• Information From Students and Alumni. When students of University Partners claim their pre-populated account by logging in for the first time, or when students and alumni of non-partner institutions create an account using their .edu email address, in addition to the information described above, we also collect username and password. Student and alumni users have the option to provide additional profile information when claiming or creating their account, including gender identity, race and ethnicity, pronouns, phone number, work experience, professional skills, interests, activities, and profile picture. Student and alumni users also have the option to upload documents such as resume and transcript.
• Information From Employer Partners. When representatives of Employer Partners create a Handshake account, we collect basic contact information, including first and last name, email address and telephone number.
• Information From Career Center Professionals of University Partners. When career center professionals of University Partners create a Handshake account, we collect basic contact information, including first and last name, email address and telephone number.
• Information Collected Through Use of the Services. Examples are:
  • Geolocation Data. For a limited set of features, we allow users to opt-in to our collection of precise location data (i.e., GPS data). We only use this information to enable these features, such as displaying your precise location on a map at a career fair. We do not share precise location data with third parties, and we do not combine precise location data with personal data for advertising purposes.
  • Employer Reviews. Personal data you choose to include in employer reviews. Handshake collects this information even if the review is not published or made public.
  • Communications, Transcripts or Recordings. We receive and store personal data when you choose to participate in a video or audio meeting or call or webinar initiated through the Services or when you choose to communicate with other users by way of video, audio, or messaging during any video or audio conference or call (collectively, “Handshake Communications”). By participating in Handshake Communications, you are giving Handshake consent to store the content and recordings of any Handshake Communications. For audio or video recordings, you will receive a notification (visual or otherwise) when recording is enabled, and you should leave the meeting or webinar if you do not consent to being recorded. If we use a third-party video and/or communications service provider to facilitate Handshake Communications, that service provider may not use your personal data or the content of the communications for any purpose other than to provide the service to us.
  • User Contributions. For instance, when users provide information to be published or displayed through publicly accessible community features, including, but not limited to text, video, images, and audio posted to the feed or comments made using the commenting feature.
  • Payment and Billing Data. The data needed to complete your orders in connection with the Services, although we do not have access to, or store, your payment information. Our payment processors will collect the information necessary to process your payments in accordance with their respective services agreements and privacy policies. Handshake claims no responsibility or liability for payment transactions.
  • Marketing Data. Your preferences for receiving marketing communications and details about your engagement with such communications.
  • Other Communications. When you request information from us, respond to forms or questionnaires, participate in surveys, provide feedback, or otherwise contact us, we collect communications that we exchange with you which may contain personal data.
  • Chatbot Data. If you engage with any virtual chatbots in connection with the Services, we will collect the information you provide during the chat, including transcripts of your conversation with the chatbot.
• Information Collected From Third Parties. If you choose to connect your account to a separate account associated with a third-party service, we may receive or be granted access to information from such third-party service, including personal data. You can generally control the information that we receive from third-party platforms using the privacy controls provided to you by such third-parties, or you may remove our access that platform.

Information We Automatically Collect. To better understand how you interact with our Services, we and our third-party partners may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, scripts, or other technologies to automatically collect certain information. Examples of the types of information are:

• Log and Device Data. When you use the Services, we and our third-party partners may log certain information, such as IP address, device type and version, unique identifiers, cookie information, browser type and settings, mobile device carrier, network information, and general location information such as city, state, or geographic area.
• Usage Data. When you use the Services, we collect certain information about your use, such as pages or screens you view, how long you spent on a page or screen, navigation paths, and how and when you log into your account.

How We Use Your Personal Data

We may use information that we collect about you, including personal data, as described below.

• To Provide the Services. This includes:
  • Maximizing opportunities to connect student and alumni users with potential employers.
  • Allowing student and alumni users to make appointments with career center professionals or sign up for career fairs and other events.
  • Personalizing the Services by, for example, suggesting employers based on the information in a user’s resume, or suggesting students with public profiles to employers based on search criteria. For more information about public profiles and student consent, see the “How We May Share Personal Data We Collect” section below.
• Communication. This includes:
  • Allowing student and alumni users to contact employers, and employers to contact students and alumni, through the Services, including by way of messaging, audio and video conferencing, and webinars.

  • Allowing users to post reviews and other content on employers and employment experiences.
  • Contacting you about additional Handshake or partner services you might be interested in, subject to each user’s account settings and communication preferences.

For users located outside the United States, we only send marketing communications with prior consent. Please see the “Users Outside the United States Section” section below for more information.
• Compliance and Protection. We may use your information to promote the safety and security of the Services, our users, and other parties. This may include responding to law enforcement requests, protecting against fraud or other illegal acts, complying with or enforcing our legal or contractual obligations and resolving disputes, and conducting audits.
• Research and Development. We may, from time to time, research new ways to improve the Services.
• Other. We may use your information to manage our business or perform functions as otherwise described to you at the time of collection, subject to your consent where legally required.

How We May Share Personal Data We Collect

There are limited circumstances in which we may share information, including personal data, with others, as set forth below:

• Employer Partners. Student and alumni information is only shared with employers through the Services where the student or alumni user chooses to make their profile public, or chooses to apply to a job, in which case we will share your profile information, resume and transcript with the employers you choose. Employer Partners are required to only use this data to provide employment services and to safeguard any personal data they receive.
• University Partners. If a student or alumni account is associated with a University Partner, that University Partner will be able to access and view personal data uploaded by you even when your account is set to “private” status. University Partners are also able to view and access information used to create Employer Partner accounts. University Partners are required to safeguard any personal data they receive.
• Other Users. Student and alumni information is only shared with users (other than as discussed above) where the student or alumni chooses to make their profile public or uses our community features and social tools. Student and alumni users may choose to make their profile public to specific audiences to help grow their professional brand and network. Please note that when posting an employer review or other related content, you may choose to publish your name and profile alongside the content publicly, or you may choose to post the content without any directly identifying information (i.e. you may post “pseudonymously”). Even when posting pseudonymously, it may be possible to infer your identity from the content, and we share the identities of both public and pseudonymous content with University Partners.
• Authorized Agents. If you are using the Services on behalf of an Employer Partner or University Partner, we may share information within your account with an authorized agent of your company or institution.
• Service Providers, Advisors, Consultants. We sometimes contract with third parties to assist us with providing the Services and communicating with you. Examples include cloud service providers, Handshake Communications-related telecommunications services, and other services for maintaining our systems, order fulfillment, email management and credit card processing. When we contract with others to perform functions of this nature, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function, and they are obligated to protect and secure your information.
• Affiliates: We may share personal data with our corporate affiliates and subsidiaries, if any, for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
• Business Transfers: We may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, personal data may be one of the transferred assets. We may share personal data with professional services, potential purchasers, or investors in connection with the sale, merger, consolidation, bankruptcy, transfer of assets, or reorganization of our company. We will notify you if a different company will receive your personal data, and this Privacy Policy will apply to your data as transferred to the new entity.
• Legal Requirements: We may share personal data with relevant law enforcement bodies if we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, valid legal process (e.g., subpoenas or warrants served on us), or governmental or regulatory request; to enforce applicable terms in this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service; to protect the security or integrity of the Services, and/or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Handshake, its employees, users, or others; to detect, prevent, or otherwise address security or technical issues, illegal, or suspected illegal activities (including fraud); or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved, as part of a judicial or regulatory proceeding. If we are going to release your data, we will do our best to provide you with notice in advance by email, unless we are prohibited by law from doing so.

Non-Personal Data: We may deidentify, aggregate, or anonymize data from the personal data you and others make available in connection with the Services such that you are not individually identified. We use and share this data in a variety of ways to help our partners and the public understand trends in the job seeking market through analytics reports, statistics and other metrics and guides. For example, to understand:

• What percentage of students from certain colleges work in a specific geographic area.
• Whether a certain major or extra-curricular activity fits well with a particular employer’s hiring patterns.
• How employers compare to each other in the number of applicants they receive from different colleges.

Storage, Security and How to Remove Your Information

We use industry standard technical, administrative, physical, and organizational measures to protect the data we collect, including encrypting it at rest and as it is transferred from you to Handshake. While we take reasonable precautions against possible security breaches, no website or internet transmission is completely secure and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss or other breach will never occur. In the event of a breach, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and, where appropriate, notify affected individuals in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.

You should also take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your device and account by, among other things, appropriately selecting your password, limiting access to your computer, device, and account, and signing off after you have finished accessing your account.

We retain personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to provide you with the Services, to perform our legitimate business purposes, to comply with applicable law, and to prevent harm as described in this Privacy Policy.

If you wish to no longer be viewable on the Services, you may choose to deactivate your account or make your account private. You may also request Handshake delete information about you, however we may be obligated as a service provider to your college or university to retain certain data about you. This means that if they re-send us your data to process on their behalf, we will retain it unless they request we delete it. You can request deactivation or deletion by sending a message to privacy@joinhandshake.com or by contacting your University to ask them to delete your information.

Third-Party Links
