1. Information We Collect

Below is a brief, general description of the types of information we collect through the Site(s):

Also collect various forms of non-Personal Information, such as device usage data, location data, and business intelligence data. To the extent that any mobile device of yours utilizes one of our applications, we may collect locational data relating to such device(s), provided you have agreed to such processing. Such locational data may be able to be matched up with other data to derive Personal Information.

Sensitive Personal Information: Provided you have agreed to the processing of such information, we may also collect information that reveals race, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or that concerns an individual’s health or workplace habits. Such information is sometimes referred to as “Sensitive Personal Information.”

If you use an external social network (for example, your Facebook, Google+, or LinkedIn account) to log in to the Site(s) or to interact with the Company in another way, we may collect your name and other details from your social network and account. For example, on our career’s pages, you can choose to use your social network account to log in or to provide us with a dynamic resume that will be automatically updated over time as you update your social network account. You can stop any ongoing sharing of data by using your social network's account settings.

2. Cookies

When you visit our Site(s), we and third parties may collect certain information by automated means, using technologies such as cookies, web server logs and web beacons.

Your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies and how to restrict, disable or delete certain cookies. Please note, however, that without certain cookies, you may not be able to use all the features of our Site(s). For example, we may use certain essential cookies that are set when you enter some of our Site(s) to assist with navigation during your visit or when you complete certain forms.
