Personal Information We Collect. “Personal information” is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person. If you visit our Website, you may be asked to provide certain types of personal information (mostly contact information), but you can also visit and use the Website without providing this information. If you sign up to receive our newsletter, we may collect your email address. If you apply for a job on our Website, you will be required to provide your first and last name, email address, your resume (which may contain information about your educational and employment background and other information you choose to include), and will have the option to include your telephone number, website and upload a cover letter.

Information We Receive from Third Parties. We may receive information about you (including personal information) from third parties. For example, if you are on another website and you opt-in to receive information from us that website will forward to us your email address and other information about you so that we may contact you as requested or if our service providers collect information on our behalf. We may combine the information we receive from these third parties with information we collect through the Website. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to any personal information received, unless we have disclosed otherwise.

We collect and use your personal information for a variety of business purposes, including to provide the services that you request (for example, sending our newsletter), to review your job application, to communicate with you, and to do all things necessary to administer the Website and our services, and manage, protect and improve them. As described in more detail below, we also use the traffic data we collect to improve our Website and services.

Information We Share with Others. We may disclose your personal information to third parties to protect the security and integrity of the Website, to correct technical problems and malfunctions on the Website, to technically process your information, to provide services or to take precautions against liability. We also may provide your personal information to vendors who provide services on our behalf, such as our website analytics provider and email distributor. If you request services via a mobile device, your request will be transmitted via your mobile carrier’s network and your carrier may have access to it. Consult your carrier’s privacy policy for additional information.

We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in connection with a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of assets, reorganization or liquidation of our business. We reserve the right to disclose any personal information as needed if that information is requested by law enforcement agencies or if we are required to do so by law, treaty, regulation,subpoena, court order, or by a government entity.

Although guaranteed security does not exist on the Internet or offline, we make commercially reasonable efforts to handle such information consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws. Due to the design of the internet and other factors outside our control, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and our servers will be free from unauthorized access by third parties.

Do Not Track Requests; Third-Party Tracking. Unless your browser settings are configured to make your online activities and publicly available information about your online activities (such as traffic data as described above) invisible to usage analytics tools, we do not presently have the capability to omit you from usage analytics to the extent your browser only sends us a “do not track” message and does not otherwise screen you from tracking without any action on our part. To learn more about browser tracking signals and “Do Not Track”, please visit http://allaboutdnt.org. Third parties, other than our vendors (such as our website analytics provider), do not have authorization from us to track which websites you visited prior to and after visiting the Website.
