PRIVACY POLICY
Thank you for reviewing the Privacy Policy for ioSelect.com,
the website ("Site") portal into ioSelect, Inc. ("IOS").
IOS
is sensitive to the issue of confidentiality in online dealings and
is committed to protecting individual privacy. This Privacy Policy
is intended to inform users about the general approach IOS uses in
collecting, using and disseminating user information via ioSelect.com.
What data do we collect automatically and why?
When you visit ioSelect.com and you have not otherwise
identified yourself (e.g., via registration with a IOS Site), our
web server automatically recognizes your domain name, but not your
e-mail address. We collect the domain name and monitor general site
use and traffic patterns to improve our web site and the products
and services we offer. IOS uses web server logs to collect data for
metric purposes. Examples of the types of data collected on the logs
are IP addresses, referral pages, date and time of Site access, and
Site visited. We may use collected data to customize the content
and/or layout of our pages for each individual visitor.
Do we use Cookies or Tracers?
Cookies
are small data files placed on your hard drive by a website server
when you visit. ioSelect.com may use cookies for tracking
purposes or to make the Site easier to use. Cookies are currently
the only way to effectively identify a unique anonymous visitor and
understand how they navigate our web site. An anonymous visitor to
our site remains anonymous in all cases. We do not attempt to
identify visitors if they do not voluntarily submit personal
information to us. With most internet browsers, you can erase
cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive
a warning before a cookie is stored. Cookies offer enhanced
functionality to the user, but whether you allow a cookie to be
placed on your computer is up to you!
In some instances, we use tracking scripts or "tracers" that
recognize a unique identifier from a cookie placed on your hard
drive by another website. These are used by IOS solely to gauge the
success of our own advertising. For instance, we may use a tracer to
determine whether you visit our employment pages after visiting a
resume or career site where IOS placed a banner ad. We do not use
tracers to gather information on your use of the internet unrelated
to IOS. Please note that IOS does not use tracers to identify your
personal information, and you remain anonymous unless and until you
choose to register.
Do we collect personal information?
In
some cases, IOS requests personally identifiable information from
you in order to satisfy the underlying transaction or purpose of
your accessing the Site. Examples of personally identifiable
information include names, e-mail addresses, mailing addresses, and
the like. Please note that we do not consider aggregated
information, from which personally identifiable information has been
removed, to be private.
What happens if I register?
Registration is allowed or required on certain IOS Site elements.
Please refer to the agreements and policies applicable to the IOS
Site for which you provide registration information in order to
assure that you understand the applicable privacy practices. IOS may
collect registration data in order to monitor compliance with the
terms of use governing the Site and to set up access permissions to
certain IOS Site elements.
What security is provided?
We do not
treat your general interaction with this Site (e.g., submission of
suggestions) as confidential. However, the Site may conduct
transactions for which heightened security is appropriate. For
instance, certain IOS Sites encrypt your personal information (e.g.,
for transmission of credit card data), so that only appropriate
personnel are able to decode your information. Note that most
internet browsers also offer security alerts that permit you to
determine whether your transmissions are protected. Please refer to
the agreements and policies applicable to the IOS Site for which you
provide personal information in order to assure that you understand
applicable security practices.
When would we disclose your information?
We do not rent, sell, or trade any personally identifiable
information about you (e.g., e-mail addresses) to third parties.
Certain IOS Sites may disclose information to third parties
assisting us in processing a transaction requested by you (e.g.,
credit card service providers). In order to cooperate with
legitimate governmental requests, subpoenas, or court orders, to
protect IOS and/or IOS's systems and customers, or to ensure the
integrity and operation of IOS and/or IOS's business and systems,
IOS and/or IOS may access and disclose any information it considers
necessary or appropriate under the circumstances.
What if data is transmitted internationally?
If you are one of our international guests, we realize that you may
want to know whether your personal information will be transferred
out of your country of origin. Please be aware that when you
register or request a transaction on a IOS Site, your personal data
may be transferred to computers in the United States in order to
process your request.
Does this apply to all of the IOS Sites?
Through ioSelect.com, you may link to many networked web pages
and websites operated by IOS and its subsidiaries and affiliates
(together, the "IOS Sites"). Not all of them have adopted this
policy. Individual IOS Sites may adopt different privacy policies
that fit transactions taking place on that IOS Site. If a IOS Site
has its own privacy policy, the provisions of that policy will
control if it conflicts with this general policy. Also, some IOS
Sites are intended to facilitate interaction with other businesses,
and may not adopt a privacy policy for individuals. Users of those
Sites should check with their employer regarding the employer's
arrangements with IOS and applicable privacy practices.
What about external links?
For the
convenience of our Site visitors, IOS may provide links to third
party web sites that are external to IOS. These web sites are not
operated or controlled by IOS, and IOS is not responsible for the
privacy practices or the content of such external web sites.
How do we keep current?
From time to
time, IOS may revise this Privacy Policy at its discretion. We note
the date of the policy below, so you know when it was last updated.
IOS advises you to check back periodically to review the Privacy
Policy because users of the Site will be prospectively bound by the
then-current version of this Privacy Policy.
