Privacy Policy

Introduction

To protect your privacy while you use our site and to let you know what types of information we are collecting and how we are using it, we have developed this Privacy Policy. As we update our services and technologies, and as we expand or change our offerings, this Privacy Policy may change from time to time, so please check it periodically.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Federal and various state laws require us to inform you how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information. These laws also limit how we can use your personal information. Please read this Policy carefully to understand what we do with the personal information we collect.

When you contact us for help with a question or concern, any personal information you provide is voluntary. We collect and use only the minimum information necessary to respond to your questions and concerns. We may also collect your personal information under other circumstances. In most cases, we collect limited personal information, such as name, address, telephone number, birth date, and/or email address. In limited cases, such as with purchases or resume submissions, we may collect other personal information, such as credit card details and resume-related information.

When do we collect personal information?

• When you make a purchase from our E-Store
• When you enter a contest or promotion
• When you subscribe to our newsletter

These vendors have agreed not to disclose any of your personal information for any purpose unrelated to the services they provide for this website.

We may also share aggregated, non-identifiable information about our general readership with third parties to help market our products and develop new vendor and customer relationships.
