4. Types of Data We Collect. Company collects Personal Data and Anonymous Data from you when you visit our Site and/or when you send us information or communications. “Personal Data” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data. “Anonymous Data” means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data; Anonymous Data does not permit the identification of individual persons. We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data, as described below.
4.1 Personal Data You Provide to Us. We collect Personal Data from you, such as company name, company type, your name, email address, phone number, and address, when you submit such information to us. If you are given access to portions of the Site that require login credentials, we will also collect information necessary to provide you with access, such as your user name and password. If you provide us feedback or contact us via e-mail (e.g., in response to an employment opportunity posted on our website), we will collect your name and e-mail address, as well as any other content included in the e-mail, in order to send you a reply, and any information that you submit to us, such as a resume. When you participate in one of our surveys, we may collect additional profile information. We also collect other types of Personal Data that you provide to us voluntarily. We may also collect Personal Data, such as demographic information from you at other points in our Site that state that Personal Data is being collected.
4.2 Personal Data Collected via Technology and Cookies. To make our Site more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) may collect Personal Data or Anonymous Data from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.
We also may use a “cookie” to collect such information. Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by your web browser. A cookie allows the Site to recognize whether you have visited before and may store user preferences and other information. If you are concerned about having cookies on your computer, you can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being set, allowing you to decide whether to accept it. You can also delete cookies from your computer. However, if you choose to block or delete cookies, certain features of the Site may not operate correctly.

Such third parties may collect Personal Data about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our Site. We do not control these third parties, who may engage in practices that differ from those described in this Privacy Policy. For example, one analytics service provider that we use is Google Analytics. Google utilizes the data collected from cookies to track and examine the use of our Site and may share this data with other Google services. You can learn more about how Google uses and shares information and about any choices you may have with regards to your information by visiting their website at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
