4) Institutional Purposes (how your Institution may use Account Data)
Your Institution may access, view, use, analyze, export, and retain Account Data for legitimate institutional purposes, including:

5) Institutional Administrative Controls
You acknowledge and agree that the Institution may, to the extent permitted by law and institutional policy, instruct Jobfair to:
- provision/de-provision access;
- require changes to or removal of content;
- restrict, suspend, or terminate your Jobfair access associated with the Institution;
- request deletion or de-identification of your account and/or Account Data (subject to lawful retention requirements and Jobfair’s deletion schedules);

- export or retain copies of Account Data for institutional records.
Jobfair may rely on the Institution’s instructions and is not responsible for actions taken at the Institution’s direction.
6) Ownership; License to Institution
You own your content. You grant the Institution (and its Institutional Administrators and service providers) a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to access, use, host, reproduce, display, perform, adapt, and create derivative works from your content and Account Data solely for the Institutional Purposes listed above. This license survives account closure to the extent the Institution must retain records under law or policy, and otherwise for de-identified/aggregated analytics.
7) FERPA and Privacy
To the extent any Account Data constitutes “education records” under FERPA or similar laws, you consent to Jobfair acting as a “school official” with a legitimate educational interest, and to disclosure of such data to the Institution and its school officials for the Institutional Purposes. Jobfair and the Institution will implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data.
8) Your Choices and Affiliation Changes
- Using a non-institutional email. If you do not want the Institution to have administrative access, use a non-institutional email and do not link your account to the Institution.
- Changing affiliation. If you change your email to a non-institutional address (or to a different Institution’s domain), the new affiliated institution (if any) will have the administrative rights described here going forward; the prior Institution may retain previously accessed data consistent with its policies and legal obligations.
- Opt-out by non-use. If you do not agree with this Agreement, do not create an account or discontinue use.
9) Retention and Deletion
Jobfair follows documented retention and deletion schedules. Upon verified instruction from the Institution or upon your request (where consistent with institutional policy and law), Jobfair will delete or de-identify your Account Data from active systems within a reasonable time. De-identified or aggregated data, backups, and logs may be retained as permitted by law and for security, audit, and continuity purposes.
10) Communications
You consent to Jobfair and the Institution sending you service, support, and administrative communications (including by email) related to your account, events, and Institutional Purposes. You may manage certain notifications in settings, but essential service messages are required.
11) Acceptable Use; Code of Conduct
You agree to comply with Jobfair’s Terms of Use, this Agreement, and applicable institutional policies (e.g., student conduct, IT use). Jobfair or the Institution may restrict or terminate access for violations.
12) Third-Party Service Providers
The Institution and Jobfair may use vetted service providers to process Account Data for the purposes described above, subject to confidentiality and security obligations.
13) Disclaimers; Limitation of Liability
Jobfair provides the service “as is” and disclaims warranties to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the extent permitted by law, neither Jobfair nor the Institution is liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from your use or institutional administration of the account. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those places, limits apply to the maximum extent permitted.
14) Changes to this Agreement
Jobfair may update this Agreement. Material changes will be posted with a new Effective Date. Continued use after the Effective Date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, discontinue use.
