It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we collect while you use My Career.
Definition of Personal Information. Your use of My Career requires us to gather personal information about you, which is information that can be linked to a specific individual, such as name, postal and email address, and telephone number (“Personal Information”). Personal Information also includes demographic and other information if and when it is associated with an individual’s Personal Information. My Career only collects Personal Information we deem necessary and appropriate to fulfill the purpose of your interaction with us. Individual users may refuse to provide Personal Information, with the understanding that it may prevent us from providing the service requested by the user.
How We Use Your Personal Information. Your Personal Information is used to provide you with the services you've requested by connecting you with a third party who may contact you to provide you with additional information. We may also utilize your Personal Information to contact you or allow an affiliate of ours to contact you for a limited period even if the telephone number you submitted appears on any state and/or federal Do Not Call list, because your inquiry creates an exception to state and/or federal Do Not Call laws. We or our affiliate may contact you by email, physical mail, text message, telephone or cellular phone, including by use of an automatic telephone dialing system and/or an artificial or prerecorded voice. We also use your Personal Information to respond to your inquiries and/or requests, or to send you important information regarding our services.
We may send you surveys and marketing communications that we believe may be of interest to you. We use your Personal Information to enhance your experience on our websites by presenting advertising or other digital content personalized to you. We may also present you with advertisements personalized to you on third party websites.
Your Personal Information may also be used to allow you to participate in sweepstakes, contests and similar promotions and to administer these activities. Please note that some of these activities may have additional rules, including additional information regarding the use and disclosure of your Personal Information, so we suggest that you read these rules carefully.
In addition, we use your Personal Information for certain business purposes, such as data analysis, audits, developing new products, enhancing our websites, improving our services, identifying usage trends, and determining and improving the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns.
Disclosure of Personal Information. Your Personal Information may be disclosed to third parties for the purposes described in this Policy. We disclose Personal Information to third parties who provide services such as contact information verification, customer service, data analysis, IT services, marketing and promotional services, email delivery services, and other similar services in order to enable them to provide those services. If you request information from third parties so that they can provide you with information about their services, we will provide to them your contact information.

Furthermore, you expressly consent to being contacted by us, our affiliates, and schools with which My Career has partnered, or their respective representatives, with information for educational services via email, physical mail, text message, telephone or cellular phone, and understand and agree that the calls and messages may be transmitted using an automatic telephone dialing system and/or an artificial or prerecorded voice.

Gathering of Information by Third Parties. Third parties can collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites pertaining to your visit to, or use of, our and others’ websites.
Do-Not-Track Requests. Do-not-track requests are typically made through web browser settings that control mechanisms that provide consumers with the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about their online activities over time and across third party websites or online services. We do not respond to do-not-track requests if enabled by the user.
Collecting, Using, and Disclosing Non-Personal Information. Non-Personal Information is information that does not reveal your specific identity, like which web browser you use, your language preference, and which operating system you use. In addition to this information, we may also collect demographic data, like your location and the highest level of education you have completed. Additionally, we collect Non-Personal Information through the use of cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, or other similar technologies. Our purpose in collecting this type of information is to better understand how users use our websites.
Use by Minors. Our websites are not directed to individuals under the age of thirteen (13), and we request that these individuals do not provide Personal Information through our websites.
Business Transfers. If My Career, or substantially all of its assets, were to be a part of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or any other disposition of property, or in the unlikely event that My Career goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is passed to a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of My Career may continue to use your Personal Information and Non-Personal Information as set forth in this Policy.
IP Addresses. My Career collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for users of our websites. My Career only uses and discloses IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses Personal Information as described in this Policy.
A user’s IP address is automatically identified and logged in our server log files whenever a user visits any of our websites, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many websites. We use IP addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels of our websites, helping diagnose server problems, geographic mapping, and administering our websites.
Cookies. A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a user’s computer, and that the user’s browser provides to the website each time the user returns. We use cookies to collect information about your usage of our websites. If you do not wish to have cookies placed on your computer, you should set your web browser to refuse cookies. Please note, however, that doing so may make it more difficult to use certain features of our websites which may not function properly without the assistance of cookies.
Third Parties. This Policy does not cover, and we are not responsible for, the privacy policies of or use of information by any third parties, including third parties with links on our websites. The inclusion of a link on any of our websites does not imply endorsement of the linked website by us.
Ads appearing on our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you.
Our websites may include social media features from third party social media websites. These features may collect your IP address and which page(s) you are visiting on our websites, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. These features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our websites. Your interactions with any such features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be secure.
