1. When And How We Collect Visitor And User Information
Each webpage operated by FLH will be linked to this Privacy Policy. In this Privacy Policy, "we," "us," "FLH," and "our" refer to FLH and its affiliates. We use the term "visitor"
to refer to a person who accesses any part of the website for any amount of time and "user" to those visitors who register by creating an account to submit or access information.
The term "you" refers to both visitors and users.
We may collect, maintain, and access certain information you provide and information collected from your use of our website. This information may include information that can be
associated with you personally ("Personal Information"). Visitor and user information may include, among other things, your first and last name, your postal address, and your
telephone number, your FLH and/or JobTarget account information, and your payment information.
We will collect Personal Information about you when you voluntarily provide it through use of the website. When you use website features that ask you for certain information, for
example, when you register for an account, you may provide Personal Information. You can navigate through our website without giving us Personal Information, but certain
activities such as viewing posted resumes is only available to users who log in.
We will also have access to and may make copies from time to time of any of your non-financial Personal Information that you provide when registering with JT. To the extent we
obtain such information from JT, it will be governed by this Privacy Policy. Moreover, should our agreement with JT expire without renewal or otherwise terminate, the information
that you provided to JT and held by JT shall remain subject to the JT privacy policy (discussed above) but a copy of all information held by JT may be provided to us, in which
case it shall be governed by this Privacy Policy.
We may also collect Personal Information if we (or a third-party provider) survey visitors or users about our website and how we can improve our job placement services. Responding
to any such survey is entirely voluntary.
Personal Information does not include aggregated data, anonymized information, or other information that does not identify a particular person. For example, your number of years
of experience or average salary are examples of aggregated data. We may generate anonymized or aggregated information from the information we collect. Our collection, use, and
disclosure of anonymized and aggregated information are not subject to any of the restrictions in this Privacy Policy. Such information may include, among other things, Internet
server and browser identification, the Internet service provider, duration of visit, and domain type.
We may also collect visitor and user information in the following ways:
- Cookies. We use a small encrypted computer code added to a file on your computer as a record of your visit. This is called a "cookie." Cookies do not collect or provide your name or any other personal information about you. It can, however, be used by us to note information about your visit, such as your type of web browser, operating system and Internet Protocol address, to better tailor the site for you. You can control what cookies are accepted by your computer through the settings on your web browser or by deleting them from your computer. Doing so, however, may limit the functionality and personalization available to you.
- Clear GIFs. We may use clear GIFs (also known as "web beacons," "Internet tags," or "pixel tags"). Clear GIFs are lines of code that allow websites to summarize overall visitor usage patterns and to provide personalized services. We may use clear GIFs, for instance, to track visitor preferences or to gather aggregated information about visitor usage patterns. We do not use clear GIFs to collect any Personal Information about visitors.
- Passive Automatic Electronic Collection. We collect and log information automatically, either directly or through a third party service provider as part of the operation of our website. For example, we collect your Internet Protocol ("IP") address, the name and location of your Internet Service Provider, the type and version of your browser, the length of time you visit the website, your search queries on the website, and the average number of pages you viewed. Logging your IP address does not by itself provide Personal Information. We use this log information for management of our systems and for technical troubleshooting. We may also use it to gather general demographic information about you, such as your general location.
We use Personal Information collected from visitors and users for a variety of purposes, including the following:
- To manage our interactive community;
- To notify you about opportunities, promotions or events;
- To service your account;
- To protect the security of visitors and users of our website; and
- To detect fraud.
3. When We Disclose Visitor Or User Information
Except as described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose Personal Information collected by us through the website to entities other than to FLH or entities under common ownership or control ("affiliates") unless (a) it is necessary to enable us to provide services or to conduct legitimate business activities related to the website; or (b) you give your consent before we disclose your Personal Information.
Information received about you by JT is provided by you directly to JT through the segments of our website hosted by JT (as described above). FLH is not providing or disclosing that information to JT. Nevertheless, we may share your Personal Information with persons or companies who help us operate the FLH website by providing services, such as fulfillment services, maintenance and technical services, and e-commerce contractors (collectively "service providers"). We may provide your Personal Information to other third parties when you expressly consent, such as when you make a purchase from a third-party vendor using our website.

Such information may include, for example, how many persons visited a particular page or activity and the preferences and dislikes of visitors. Such information does not include Personal Information about any individual visitor.
You acknowledge and agree that we may disclose your Personal Information if we are required to do so by law or if we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary (a) to comply with applicable law, a subpoena, or other legal process; (b) to investigate violations of this Privacy Policy, our Terms of Use, or other contracts we have with you; (c) to respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; (d) to respond to your requests for customer service; and (e) to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of the public, FLH, its employees, its agents, its visitors or users, or the website.

Any information transmitted over the Internet may be subject to breaches of security. Although we follow commercially reasonable practices to securely store the information we collect and to work with responsible third parties, we cannot guarantee these practices will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose such information.
6. Service Providers' And Other Third Parties' Collection And Use Of Information
The submission of information to JT by a user is not subject to this Privacy Policy.

For example our blogs are administered by a third party service provider. If you choose to use these services, our service providers may request that you provide your Personal Information to them so that they can process your order or request. These service providers usually have their own privacy policies and terms of use. After you leave this website, information you disclose to a service provider and information the service provider collects from you will be subject to its privacy policy and terms of use. FLH is not responsible for its service providers' collection, use, or disclosure of information.
This website may include banner ads, other advertisements, and links to websites of FLH affiliates and non-FLH affiliated entities. These affiliates and other entities may solicit and collect Personal Information and may store cookies on website visitors' computers. When you leave this website to visit the website of an FLH affiliate or of another entity, you will be subject to the privacy policy and terms of use agreement of that website operator.
