Privacy Policy
This privacy statement is applicable to
Connect Employment Services Inc. (herein known as CONNECT)
and all of its affiliates.
CONNECT does not knowingly collect
any personally identifiable information from children under
the age of 13. CONNECT policy is to respect and
protect the privacy of our users. CONNECT does
not collect personally identifiable information about individuals
except when such individuals specifically provide such information
on a voluntary basis. For example, such personally identifiable
information may be gathered from a contest or sweepstakes
registration, the purchase of products or services offered
on the site, the registration process for subscription sites
or services and in connection with content submissions, community
postings (e.g., chat and bulletin boards), suggestions, voting/polling
activities and transactional areas. Personally identifiable
information on individual users will not be sold or otherwise
transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the approval
of the user at the time of collection but may be shared with
the applicable online partner collecting such personally identifiable
information. At such points of collection, the user may have
the opportunity to indicate whether he or she would like to
"opt out" of receiving promotional and/or marketing
information about other products, services and offerings from
CONNECT and/or any third parties.
Further, notwithstanding any opt out of
promotional information by the user, CONNECT reserves
the right to contact a subscriber regarding account status,
changes to the subscriber agreement and other matters relevant
to the underlying service and/or the information collected.
CONNECT may disclose user information in special
cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this
information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal
action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference
with (either intentionally or unintentionally) CONNECT rights or property, other users, or anyone else that
could be harmed by such activities. CONNECT may
disclose user information when we believe in good faith that
the law requires it. CONNECT reserves the right
to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics
in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas
of the site and to inform advertisers of such information
as well as the number of users that have been exposed to or
clicked on their advertising banners. CONNECT
will provide only aggregated data from these analyses to third
parties. Also, users should be aware that CONNECT
might sometimes permit third parties to offer subscription
and/or registration-based services through CONNECT
site. CONNECT is not responsible for any actions
or policies of such third parties and users should check the
applicable privacy policy of such party when providing personally
identifiable information.
Users should be aware that when you are
on CONNECT site you could be directed to other
sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other
sites from CONNECT site that take you outside
our service. For example, if you "click" on a banner
advertisement, the "click" takes you off CONNECT site. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors
and partners that may use a logo as part of a co-branding
agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to
users, collect data, or solicit personal information. Always
be aware of where you end up. Additionally, users should be
aware that when they voluntarily disclose personally identifiable
information (e.g., user name, e-mail address) on bulletin
boards or in the chat areas of CONNECT site, if
any, that information, along with any substantive information
disclosed in the user's communication, can be collected and
correlated and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited
messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities
are beyond the control of CONNECT.
Users also should be aware that non-personal
information and data may be automatically collected through
the standard operation of NetSet Solutions internet servers
or through the use of "cookies." Cookies are small
text files a web site can use to recognize repeat users, facilitate
the user's ongoing access to and use of the site and allow
a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data
that will allow content improvements and targeted advertising.
Cookies are not programs that come onto a user's system and
damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique
number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning
site. Users should be aware that CONNECT cannot
or does not control the use of cookies or the resulting information
by advertisers or third parties hosting data for CONNECT. If a user does not want information collected
through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in
most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie
feature; however, users should note that cookies may be necessary
to provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized
delivery of information and ordering on the ecommerce shopping
cart) available on CONNECT site. CONNECT
will use reasonable efforts to allow users to update/correct
personal information previously submitted which the user states
is erroneous to the extent such activities will not compromise
privacy or security interests.
Also, upon a user's request, CONNECT will use commercially reasonable efforts to functionally
delete the user and his or her personal information from its
database; however, it may be impossible to delete a user's
entry without some residual information because of backups
and records of deletions. The importance of security for all
personally identifiable information associated with our guests
is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing
secure transmission of your information from your PC to our
servers, utilizing encryption software. Only those employees
who need access to your information in order to do their jobs
are allowed access, each having signed compressive nondisclosure
agreements, which provides explicit legal confidentiality
protections. Any employee who violates our privacy and/or
security policies is subject to disciplinary action, including
possible termination and civil and/or criminal prosecution.
CONNECT reserves the right to change this policy
at any time. Substantive changes to this privacy statement
will be noticed by posting notice of such changed policy on
this page. Please check this page regularly. This statement
and the policies outlined herein are not intended to and do
not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on
behalf of any party. By using this site, you signify your
assent to CONNECT Privacy Policy. If you do not
agree to this policy, please do not use our site. Your continued
use of CONNECT site following the posting of changes
to these terms will mean you accept those changes. Contact
us with questions regarding this statement.
