Review of Snagajob.com's Privacy Policy

After reviewing Snagajob.com's privacy policy, I would be very hesitant about providing this company with my personal information. They require email, address, name, birth date, education, job experience, citizenship and more and they say in their privacy policy that they use the information you provide to:


I would personally be hesitant about them "providing your personal details to third parties offering combined services."  Who exactly are these "third parties" that they are giving your personal information to? Is this the way the snag a job scam works? I am not sure, but just providing a review of snag a job and the potential for a scam.
