This information includes the times and dates you access the Services, the products you use and the pages you visit, the browsers through which you access the Services, error logs and other system activity, and the websites or applications from which you access the Services. We may also use service providers to collect on a real-time basis information on how you use and navigate our websites. This may include mouse movements and how you scroll through our website, but we do not collect keystroke data. The information (including your IP address) collected by the technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services.

If you permit, we may also collect precise geolocation information from your device, passed to us from third-party services or GPS-enabled devices that you have set up. Keep in mind that most mobile devices allow you to prevent real-time location data being sent to us through your device settings.

We and our service providers and partners collect information about you and your use of the Services through the use of "cookies" and similar technologies, such as tracking pixels and ad tags, to understand how you navigate through and interact with our Services, to learn what jobs are popular, to enhance the Services and provide you with a more relevant and personalized experience, for authentication and advertising purposes, to save your preferences, and to collect certain usage, device and location information as described above. Cookies are small text files that web servers place on your device; they are designed to store basic information and to help websites and apps recognize your browser. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be accessed every time you use our Services. Tracking pixels (sometimes referred to as web beacons or clear GIFs) are tiny electronic tags with a unique identifier embedded in websites, online ads, and/or email; they are designed to collect usage information like ad impressions or clicks and email open rates, to measure the popularity of our Services and associated advertising, and to access cookies. To generally update your cookies settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated or to disable cookies altogether, please consult your web browser settings.

5. YOU HAVE RIGHTS AND OPTIONS REGARDING YOUR INFORMATION

You have the following rights and options with respect to your information:

a. You May Have Certain Rights Regarding Your Information

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to make certain requests regarding your "personal information" or "personal data" (as such terms are defined under applicable law, and which we refer to in this Privacy Policy as "personal information"). We extend these rights to all individuals who are entitled to such rights under applicable law and may extend some or all of these rights to all individuals, regardless of residency, subject to this Privacy Policy. Please note that if you are a Colorado resident, all of the rights in this section will apply to you. Specifically, applicable individuals have the right to ask us to:

• Inform you about the categories of personal information we collect or disclose about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we disclose personal information.
• Provide you access to and/or a copy of certain personal information we hold about you.
• Correct or update personal information we hold about you.
• Delete certain personal information we have about you.
• Opt out of the processing of your personal information for purposes of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, if applicable.

You also have the right to opt out of "sales" of your information and "sharing/use of your information for targeted advertising" as described below. In addition, we may not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need to retain certain information to provide the Services to you. We also need to take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request, which may include, at a minimum, depending on the sensitivity of the information you are requesting and the type of request you are making, verifying your name and email address.

You may also be permitted to designate an authorized agent to submit certain requests on your behalf. In order for an authorized agent to be verified, you must provide the authorized agent with signed, written permission to make such requests or a power of attorney. We may also follow up with you to verify your identity before processing the authorized agent's request.

If you would like further information regarding your legal rights or would like to exercise any of them, please click here or contact us at [email protected].

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to appeal our decision to deny your request. If we deny your request, we will provide you with information on how to appeal the decision, if applicable, in our communications with you.

b. You May Opt Out of Marketing Communications

Email marketing. You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails via the unsubscribe link provided in our emails or by emailing us at [email protected]. Please note that it may take us some time, consistent with our legal obligations, to process your request. Even if you opt out from receiving marketing messages from us, you will continue to receive administrative messages from us, notices about changes to our policies and practices, and other communications regarding our relationship or transactions with you.

SMS marketing. To stop receiving text messages from us, text "STOP" in response to any text message, or send an email to [email protected] with "SMS unsubscribe" in the subject line.

c. You May Opt Out of Sales of Personal Information and Processing/Sharing of Personal Information for Targeted Advertising Purposes

As explained in the "Other Unaffiliated Third Parties" provision in section 4 above, we sometimes disclose information (e.g., usage information, online identifiers, and/or hashed email addresses) to unaffiliated third parties that we collaborate with or that provide online targeted advertising that we think may be of value to you, or that assist us with analytics. These disclosures may be considered a "sale" or the processing/sharing of personal information for targeted advertising purposes under applicable law.

If you would like to opt out of our online disclosure of your personal information for purposes that could be considered "sales" or "sharing" for purposes of targeted advertising, please click here. You can also submit a request to opt out of our offline disclosures of information that are subject to applicable opt out rights by clicking here or by emailing us at [email protected] with the subject line "Offline Opt Out".

Please note that if you have a legally-recognized browser-based opt out preference signal turned on via your device browser, we recognize such preference in accordance with applicable law.

 

6. OUR SERVICES MAY INCLUDE THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND FEATURES

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites and third-party plug-ins, such as Facebook or LinkedIn. You should understand that we do not have control over the third parties that operate these websites and services and we are not responsible for the information they collect when you use these features, or their content or privacy practices. You should read their privacy policies before using their websites or services or giving them your information.

 

7. WE OPERATE FOR USERS LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES

Please note that we are located in the United States and provides the Services, and processes your information, in the United States. We may subcontract the processing of your data to, or otherwise disclose your data to, service providers and business partners in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States, in accordance with applicable law. Such third parties may use your data for various purposes, including the provision of our Services to you, the processing of transactions, and/or the provision of support services. By providing with your information to us, you acknowledge and agree to any such transfer, storage, or use.

 

8. WE ENGAGE IN ONLINE ADVERTISING USING COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

We may allow third-party advertising technologies (e.g., ad networks and ad servers) on our Services that use cookies and similar technologies to deliver relevant and targeted content and advertising to you on the Services and other websites you visit and applications you use. The ads may be based on various factors such as the content of the page you are visiting, information you provide, your searches, demographic data, and other information we collect about you. These ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and across other websites and online services and may be tailored to your interests.

We sometimes also associate cookies with de-identified data linked to or derived from data you have submitted to us (e.g., your email address) and disclose such information to advertising partners and vendors in hashed, non-human-readable form to provide you with more relevant ads when you visit other websites and mobile applications.

We do not have access to, and this Privacy Policy does not govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on devices you use to access our Services by non-affiliated third parties. If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your devices to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative's Consumer Opt-Out link or the Digital Advertising Alliance's Consumer Opt-Out link to opt out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, visit the Google Ads Settings page. For additional ways to opt out of targeted advertising activities under applicable law, see Section 5.

Please note that these opt-outs apply per browser and per device, so you will have to opt out for each device—and each browser on each device—through which you access our Services.

Do Not Track ("DNT") is a privacy preference that is available in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our Services for third party purposes and provide information on how to opt-out where possible above. We do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. Learn more about Do Not Track. Please note that Do Not Track is a different privacy mechanism than the user "preference signal" referenced in Section 5, which is a browser-based control that indicates whether you would like to opt out of processing of your information for certain purposes under applicable laws, such as the "sale" of your information or the disclosure of your information for targeted advertising purposes. Please see Section 5 below for more information.

   

9. CHILDREN MAY NOT USE OUR SERVICES

You are not permitted to use the Services if you are under the age of 16. The Services are not intended for children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect or use personal information from children under the age of 16. If you are a parent or guardian who believes that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we discover personal data from a child under the age of 16, we will take steps to remove that data from our databases. Children over the age of 16 may use our site only with the permission and oversight of a parent or guardian.

 

10. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY NOTICE

This California Privacy Notice ("Notice") gives California residents the additional information about our information collection and use practices required by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 ("CCPA"). If we use a term that is capitalized in this Notice and we don't define it herein, you can find the definition for the term within this Privacy Policy.

This Notice provides information about the categories of personal information that we collect from California residents, the purposes for which we use the information, the categories of third parties to whom we disclose the information for business purposes, our "sales" and "sharing" of information, and retention practices.

Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

As explained in Section 4, we sometimes disclose personal information to third-party advertising providers for targeted advertising purposes, so that we can provide you with more relevant and tailored ads regarding our Services, or use analytics partners to assist us in analyzing use of our services and our user/customer base. The disclosure of your personal information to these third parties to assist us in providing these services may be considered a "sale" of personal information under the CCPA, or the "sharing" of your personal information for purposes of "cross-context behavioral advertising."

The following chart lists the categories of personal information we have sold or shared over the last 12 months and the categories of third parties to which we have sold or shared:

If you would like to opt out of our online disclosure such as through cookie and pixel technology of your personal information for purposes that could be considered a "sale" or "sharing," please click here. You can also submit a request to opt out of our offline disclosures of information that are subject to applicable opt out rights by clicking here or by emailing us at [email protected].

Sensitive Personal Information

The CPPA provides consumers with the "right to limit" the use of their "sensitive personal information" (as defined in the CCPA) to certain business purposes. As explained in this Privacy Policy, we may ask you for optional demographic information such as citizenship, race, disability status, and ethnicity in connection with certain employment opportunities. Your provision of this information is entirely voluntary, and will be used only for purposes in connection with providing the Services to you. This information may be considered "sensitive personal information" under the CCPA. However, please note that we do not use sensitive personal information for purposes for which the "right to limit" applies.

Please note that if you have a legally recognized browser-based opt out preference signal turned on via your device browser, we recognize such preference in accordance with applicable law.

"Shine the Light" Disclosure

The California "Shine the Light" law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request information about whether we disclose certain categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please email us at [email protected].

Retention

We will keep your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, unless a longer retention is required or permitted by law. We may delete or de-identify your information sooner if we receive a verifiable deletion request that complies with law, subject to exemptions under applicable law. The retention period that applies to your information may vary depending on the Services you use and how you interact with them. We may retain cached or archived copies of your information.

 

11. WE MAY MAKE CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make a change, we will make the revised Privacy Policy accessible through our Services. You can know if the Privacy Policy has changed since the last time you reviewed it by checking the "Last Update" date at the top of this Privacy Policy. If we make a material change to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you through the Services and/or by other legally permissible communication. By continuing to use the Services, you are confirming that you have read and understood the latest version of this Privacy Policy.
