CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

Site Visitors

For anyone who visits the Site, we may collect information automatically using web tracking technologies such as cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, clear GIFs and third party tracking services in order to ensure that the Site and Services operate efficiently and to collect data related to usage of the Site and Services such as, but not limited to, the IP Address, browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor or Customer request.

Cookies: If you access the Services, we may use a technology called "cookies." A cookie is a piece of information that the computer that hosts our Services gives to your browser when you access the Services. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the Services and help us analyze Services usage more accurately. For instance, our Services may set a cookie on your browser that allows you to access the Services without needing to enter a password more than once during a visit to the Services. Our cookies will not collect Personal Data except with your permission. On most web browsers, you will find a "help" section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notifications when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. Career data may be pulled in from third-party services like remote jobs.

"Web Beacons" (also known as Web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Services for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Services, to monitor how many visitors view our Services, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the user's device, web beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an e-mail).

If you are a visitor considering subscribing to the Services and make any inquires to us regarding your interest, we will collect your name, email address and other contact information you provide us with in order to respond to your inquiry.
