3. A Note to Users Outside of the United States.

4. Types of Data We Collect. Company collects Personally Identifiable Information and Anonymous Data from you when you visit our site and/or when you send us information or communications. “Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data. “Anonymous Data” means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personally Identifiable Information; Anonymous Data does not permit the identification of individual persons.
5. We collect Personally Identifiable Information and Anonymous Data, as described below.
5.1 Personally Identifiable Information You Provide to Us. If you provide us feedback or contact us via e-mail (e.g., in response to an employment opportunity posted on our website), we will collect your name and e-mail address, as well as any other content included in the e-mail, in order to send you a reply, and any information that you submit to us, such as a resume. When you participate in one of our surveys, we may collect additional profile information. When you post messages on the message boards of our website, the information contained in your posting will be stored on our servers and other users will be able to see it. We may also collect Personally Identifiable Information, such as demographic information from you via the Products or at other points in our website that state that Personally Identifiable Information is being collected.
5.2 Data Collected via Technology. To make our website, Products, and related services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) collect Personally Identifiable Information from you, including Personal Date collected via technology. We also use Cookies (as defined below) and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit and the solutions and information for which you searched and which you viewed. Like most Internet services, we automatically gather this Personally Identifiable Information and store it in log files each time you visit our website or access your account on our network. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing a web site. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our website. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. If you choose to disable Cookies, some areas of our website may not work properly.
When you access and interact with one of our websites, we may collect certain information often referred to as “Clickstream Data.” “Clickstream Data” includes the type of Internet browser and operating system you are using, the pages and information you accessed on our site, the total time spent on our site, and the domain name of the website from which you linked to our site. Also, where you have previously identified yourself in the registration process as affiliated with a particular business or organization, we may record the fact that a representative of your business or organization visited the site, along with other Clickstream Data concerning that visit. Clickstream Data will not be used to identify you personally and will not be associated or correlated with any site visitor in a personally-identifiable manner.
6. Other Web Sites and Hyperlinks
This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site. We do not exercise control over hyperlinks that link to external websites from within the Site. We may present links in a format that enables Us to keep track of whether these links have been followed. In addition, third party companies and individuals which we use to perform services related to administration of the Site (including without limitation bill and credit card payment processing), and other websites, may place their own cookies or other files on Users’ computers or collect data or solicit PII directly from our users. Other websites may follow different rules regarding the collection, use or disclosure of PII that you submit. We offer and provide access to the Site in connection with other websites. PII that our users provide to those other websites may be sent to us in order to enable our users’ use of the Site. We process such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Other websites may have different privacy practices. We encourage users to read the privacy policies and other terms and familiarize themselves with the privacy practices of the other websites before using their services.

7.2 Creation of Anonymous Data. We may create Anonymous Data records from Personally Identifiable Information by excluding information (such as your name) that make the data personally identifiable to you. We use this Anonymous Data to analyze request and usage patterns so that we may enhance the content of our Products and services and improve site navigation. Company reserves the right to use and disclose Anonymous Data to Third Party Companies in its discretion.
7.3 Feedback. If you provide feedback on any of our Products or related services to us, we may use such feedback for any purpose, provided we will not associate such feedback with your Personally Identifiable Information.

8.2 Other Disclosures. Regardless of any choices you make regarding your Personally Identifiable Information (as described below), Company may disclose Personally Identifiable Information if it believes in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on Company; or (b) protect or defend the rights or property of Company or users of the Products or related services.
8.3 Promotional Activities. We may also disclose personal information you have provided through our websites to persons or companies that we retain to carry out promotions and other activities for which you have registered or in which you have otherwise asked to participate. We require persons and companies to which we disclose personal information to restrict their use of such information to the purposes for which it has been provided by us and not to disclose that information to others. We cannot be responsible, however, for any damages caused by the failure of unaffiliated third parties to honor their privacy obligations to us. In addition to these limited disclosures of personal information, we may provide our affiliates or unaffiliated third parties with aggregate information about visitors to our sites. For example, we might disclose the median ages of visitors to our websites, or the numbers of visitors to our websites that come from different geographic areas.

We may also disclose PII in response to a request by a law enforcement agency or other public agency (including, but not limited to, schools or children services) or if we believe such disclosure may prevent or mitigate the threat of crime or harm to users or others, facilitate an investigation related to a minor User’s safety or public safety, protect the security or integrity of our Site, or enable us to take precautions against liability
