Information We Obtain.
- Information That You Provide to Us: This includes, without limitation, as described in Section 1.
- Information That We Collect Automatically: Our Internet servers and applications may log information such as your operating system type, browser or device type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone where your device is located. The web server logs may also record information such as the address of the web page that referred you to our sites and the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. They may also log information about your interaction with the sites, such as which pages you visit. Our apps may log which buttons are pressed or screens that users visit. To control which web servers, collect information by automated means, we may place tags called “web beacons” — small files that link web pages to particular web servers and their cookies. We may also collect information from your browser, such as your browsing history, and use it in conjunction with data gathered from forms and emails to help us understand and respond to your needs. Your browser settings may allow you to transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites and online services you visit. Like many other websites and online services, we do not currently process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals from your browser or to other mechanisms that enable choice. Both we and others (such as our service providers) may collect personal data about our visitors’ online activities over time and across third- party websites.
- Social Media Widgets: Our website may include social media functions, such as the Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook widgets. These widgets may collect information about which pages you visit on the site and the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. The widgets may also set a cookie to ensure the features are functioning properly. Social media functions and widgets are hosted either by a third party or directly on the site. Your interactions with the social media functions and widgets located on the site are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide them. We suggest you review the privacy policies of the companies that provide those functions and features.
- LinkedIn Members: If you are a LinkedIn member and you visit our website from LinkedIn, our site may use tracking pixels — transparent graphic images placed on web pages — which, in combination with cookies, collect information contained within your LinkedIn profile as well as your access of and interaction with the web pages that contain the pixels.
- Information That We Obtain From Third Parties: Information that we collect from third parties will generally consist of publicly-available profile information (such as your preferences and interests), for example from public social media posts.
Our website or our software applications may contain links to other websites that we do not own or operate. We provide links to third-party websites as a convenience to the user. These links are not intended as an endorsement of or referral to the linked websites. The linked websites have separate and independent privacy policies, notices, and terms of use. We do not have any control over such websites, and therefore we have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites may collect, use, or disclose, secure and otherwise treat personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
