The Website gives Job Seekers the option of creating a profile in the TechStar database. The profile includes Personal Data and may also include resume(s) or other files uploaded to TechStar by the Job Seeker. All profile data for those profiles defined (at Job Seeker’s choice), as either “Open” or “On Request” as described below, can be searched by Employers, with access to the Job Seeker’s name, contact details, and resume files determined as indicated.

• Profiles which are “Open” have all profile data accessible to Employers subscribing to the appropriate TechStar services.
• Profiles which are “On Request” have profile data excluding name, contact information, and any uploaded resume files accessible to Employers subscribing to the appropriate TechStar services.
