Information We Obtain
In connection with your use of our services, you may provide personal information to us in various ways. For example, we may obtain personal information about you when you sign up to receive email updates on new offers and product information. The type of personal information we may obtain includes:
- Contact information, such as name, address, phone number, and email;
- Demographic information, such as age range;
- Job application information, such as job title, company name and other professional information, references, proof of identification, and any other information you provide to us when submitting an application;
- Device information, as described in the Automated Data Collection section below; and
- Other information you provide, such as when contacting our customer service office or when you otherwise contact or interact with us, such as through emails or other communications, social media pages and surveys. If you call our customer service agents, we also may record and retain those conversations for quality assurance.
Automated Data Collection
When you use the Sites or open our emails, we may obtain certain information by automated means, such as web cookies, pixel tags or web beacons, server or device logs and other technologies. A "cookie" is a text file that websites send to a visitor's device to uniquely identify the visitor's browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A "pixel tag" (also known as a web beacon) is a type of technology that is placed on a website or within an email to track certain activity, such as views of a website or when an email is opened.
These technologies help us:
- Remember your information so you do not have to re-enter it;
- Track and understand how you use and interact with the Sites;
- Tailor the Sites around your preferences;
- Measure the usability of the Sites and the effectiveness of our communications;
- Authenticate your identity and protect against fraud; and
- Manage and enhance our products and services, and help ensure they are working properly.
We may use these automated technologies on the Sites to collect information about your device, browsing actions and usage patterns, such as your device IP address, general location information, unique device identifiers, device type and model, device characteristics and settings, browser settings and characteristics, operating system type and version, language and country preferences, usage statistics, referring emails and web addresses, and other device details. We also may obtain information about your interactions with the Sites, such as pages visited, links clicked, features used, dates and times of usage, session information, clickstream data, and other information about your use of the Sites.
Your browser may tell you how to be notified about certain types of automated collection technologies and how to restrict or disable them. For mobile devices, you can manage how your device and browser share certain device data by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device. Without these technologies, however, you may not be able to use all of the features of our Sites.

We may use the personal information we obtain to:
- Administer and provide our Site and services;

- Manage career opportunities, including for recruitment purposes, candidate screening and evaluation;
- Perform data analytics, and monitor and analyze usage and trends to measure use of various areas of the Sites and improve your experience with the Sites;
- Carry out internal business purposes, such as operating, evaluating and improving our business (including developing new products and services; enhancing, improving and analyzing our products and services; managing our communications; and performing accounting, auditing and other internal functions);

Third-Party Analytics Services
We may use third-party analytics services on our Site, such as Google Analytics.

Interest-Based Advertising
You may see our ads on other websites because we use third-party ad services on our Sites. Through these ad services, we can tailor our messaging to individuals considering demographic data, inferred interests and browsing context. These ad services track information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites and apps by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of cookies, web server logs, web beacons and other similar technologies. These ad services may collect data about your visits to websites and apps that participate in these services, such as the pages or ads you view and the actions you take on the websites or apps. This data collection takes place both on the Sites and on third-party websites and apps that participate in these ad services. These ad services use this information to show you ads that may be tailored to your individual interests. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

Depending on where you reside, you may have the right to (1) request access to the personal information we maintain about you; (2) request that we correct or delete your personal information; (3) request the restriction of our use of your personal information; or (4) request to opt out of the processing of your personal information for purposes of targeted advertising, certain profiling or the sale of your personal information.

To submit an access, correction, deletion or other request, please contact us using the information in the "Contact Us" section of this Privacy Policy. You may designate an authorized agent to submit a rights request on your behalf. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your personal information or complying with your deletion or correction request. If you request access to, correction of or deletion of your personal information, we may verify your identity by requiring you to authenticate your email address or providing information about your prior interactions with us. If you submit a request through an authorized agent, we may ask for your written permission or a power of attorney. Where you provided your authorized agent with a written permission, we may require that you also verify your identity.
As described in the Interest-Based Advertising section, we may disclose your personal information by allowing certain third parties (such as online advertising services and social networks) to collect personal information through automated technologies on our websites for targeted advertising purposes. This personal information may include identifiers, commercial information, online activity and inferences. These kinds of sharing activities may be considered "sales" or processing of personal information for targeted advertising under applicable law. You can opt out of the processing of your personal information for purposes of targeted advertising or certain sales of your personal information by broadcasting the Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signal, available here. If you use the GPC, we will process your request for your browser, but it will not apply outside of that browser to your device. You will need to use the GPC for each browser you use to access the site. If you clear your cookies in your browser after using the GPC, you will need to use the GPC again for us to process your opt out for that browser. For more information about the Global Privacy Control, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.
