Residents of California may have the following rights:
1. The right to know and access your personal information. Under CCPA, you have the right to:
  • Know the categories of personal information we collect and the categories of sources from which we got the information;
  • Know the business or commercial purposes for which we collect and share personal information;
  • Know the categories of third parties and other entities with whom we share personal information; and
  • Access the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
To do so, please complete a form and include your name, email address, California postal address as well as your subscription, if you have an active subscription.
2. Right to deletion. In some circumstances, you may ask us to delete your personal information. To do so, please complete a form and include your name, email address, California postal address as well as your subscription account number, if you have an active subscription. 
3. The right to opt out of sales. We may share your personal information with third parties in ways that may constitute a “sale” under CCPA. You may request that we not “sell” your personal information on a going-forward basis. To do so, please complete a form and include your name, email address, California postal address as well as your subscription account number, if you have an active subscription. If you reengage with us after opting out of the “sale” of your personal information, such as by ordering a new subscription, buying a product, signing up for a newsletter, and/or entering sweepstakes or contests your personal information will be collected and used in accordance with this Privacy Notice.
For some of our Digital Services, we may participate in the IAB CCPA Compliance Framework for Publishers & Technology Companies (“IAB Framework”). This means that where you exercise your right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information through the Do Not Sell My Info link we make available on the participating Digital Services, to the extent we sell your personal information in order to deliver ads tailored to your interests based on your activities across third-party sites, we will notify downstream participants of the IAB Framework that receive personal information about you to only use your personal information for those specific and limited purposes that are permitted under the IAB Framework.
Please note that the scope of the IAB Framework opt-out may only apply to personal information from the specific browser or device from which you opt-out. In addition, exercising your right to opt out of the sale of your personal information does not mean that you will stop seeing ads or that you will stop seeing interest-based ads. To learn more about interest-based advertising across sites and additional opt-out choices, you should visit one or more of the following industry opt-out links: http://optout.aboutads.info, http://optout.networkadvertising.org, and http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices. Where you opt out of the sale for purposes of CCPA but do not opt out of interest-based advertising more generally, you may continue to receive ads tailored to your interests based upon personal information not sold by us, sold to other IAB participants for
at least 90 days before you opted out, or sold by other sources from which you have not opted out. We are not responsible for any downstream participants’ compliance with the IAB Framework or the accuracy of their privacy policies or statements regarding their opt-out options or programs.
4. Right to be free from discrimination. You may exercise any of the above rights without fear of being discriminated against. We are permitted to provide a different price or rate to you if the difference is directly related to the value provided to you by your data.
For any of the above-mentioned rights, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. In the request, you or your authorized agent must provide information sufficient for us to confirm the identity of an authorized agent. We are required to verify that your agent has been properly authorized to request information on your behalf and this may take additional time to fulfill your request.

We will use the information you provide to make your CCPA rights requests to verify your identity, identify the personal information we may hold about you, and act upon your request. We strongly recommend that you submit the email and postal address that you used when you created accounts, ordered subscriptions, or signed up for a newsletter. After you submit a CCPA rights request using one of our forms, you will be required to verify access to the email address you submitted. You will receive an email with a follow-up link to complete your email verification process. You are required to verify your email for us to proceed with your CCPA rights requests. Please check your spam or junk folder in case you can't see the verification email in your inbox. If you are a California resident and have any questions regarding your CCPA rights under this Privacy Notice, please contact us at jobadvisor@email.com

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

As JobAdvisor evaluates AI-based tools that might help reporters, video editors, copy editors, assignment editors and others do their jobs more effectively, we will roll them out to the newsroom. Sometimes these tools will be deployed to small teams as experiments. These experiments will always be bound by the rules in this policy.

JobAdvisor believes that AI tools can help journalists work faster, smarter and more creatively. Sometimes, a tool will take away the more burdensome tasks of day-to-day journalism. In other cases, AI may put a project that was too time-consuming or expensive to pursue within our newsroom's grasp. We firmly believe that soon all journalists will be working with AI in some form and we want our newsroom to embrace these technologies as quickly as is possible in an ethical way.

AI is not accountable to JobAdvisor readers: we are. The burden of ensuring that all stories or other content meets JobAdvisor standards rests with our writers, editors and producers, always.

To that end, we will always comply with the following rules when working with AI:

WRITTEN CONTENT - CORE FUNCTIONS

If a piece of written content involves the use of AI tools in writing, research, editing or other core journalism functions, three or more journalists should be involved in producing the story—an assigning editor, a reporter and a publishing editor.

WRITTEN CONTENT - SUPPORTING FUNCTIONS

The rules requiring the involvement of three journalists does not apply when AI tools are simply used to support a journalist's work such as for note taking, transcription and video script writing, writing social copy, A/B testing headlines, adding metadata or selecting images. However, the journalist using such tools will be responsible for ensuring they do not give rise to errors.

DISCLOSURE

Any journalist using any AI tool on a core journalism function must disclose that to their editor and the publishing desk. Any tool not previously used by JobAdvisor must be approved by the Standards Editor.


CORRECTIONS

JobAdvisor strives to correct all errors of fact. If you’ve seen an error in our pages, let us know at jobadvisor@email.com All concerns will be considered by our corrections team in consultation with the editor(s) involved. When an error is found, we aim to correct it quickly and transparently.
