1. What Types of Information Do We Collect From You and How Do We Collect Information?

We collect information that you provide us. To take advantage of certain portions of our Site (for example, to provide comments, submit a problem, or submit a job application), we may require that you furnish certain information. We collect information from you, such as your name, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address, and other information you may provide on a job application like your work history, when you voluntarily provide it to us.

We may collect information passively. Information we collect from you may include aggregated information and demographic information, such as IP address, computer type, screen resolution, operating system version, Internet browser, demographic data (for example your country), as well as information collected through the use of cookies and other similar technologies and by observing browser functions and the pages you access to facilitate your ongoing use of our Site.

If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, your browser preferences may allow you to decline cookies. You may also be able to delete the cookie we set for you.

Our Do Not Track Policy: Some websites have “do not track” features that allow you to tell a website not to track you. These features are not all uniform. We do not currently respond to those signals. If you block cookies, certain features on our sites may not work. If you block or reject cookies, not all of the tracking described here will stop.

We collect information about you from third parties. For example, our business partners may give us information about you. Social media platforms may also give us information about you.

We combine information. For example, we may combine information that we have collected offline with information we collect online. Or we may combine information we get from a third party with information we already have.
