practices of those third party advertisers and are not responsible for their
technology or tracking. We encourage you to review the policies of
such advertisers when you link to their website.

This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the Website or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the Website or not), your computer browser information, and your IP address. Your Internet Protocol ("IP") is a unique Internet "address" which is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider ("ISP"). For local area network ("LAN"), DSL, or cable modem users, an IP address may be permanently assigned to a particular computer. IP addresses are automatically logged by Web servers, collecting information about a user's traffic patterns. While the IP address does not identify an individual by name, it may, with the cooperation of the ISP, be used to locate and identify an individual using the Web.

Finally, other websites you visit have IP addresses, and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages.

cookie preferences, search engine keywords and JavaScript enablement. When you
provide us with Personal Identification Information, we are able to use such
visitor data to identify you.

Your California Rights
A California resident
who has provided personal information to a business with whom he/she has
established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes
(“California customer”) is entitled to request information about whether
the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the
third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made
such a disclosure of personal information, upon receipt of a request by a
California customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third
parties to whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar
year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were
disclosed.
However, under the law, a
business is not required to provide the above-described lists if the business
adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy policy) a policy of not
disclosing customer’s personal information to third parties for their direct
marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the
disclosure, as long as the business maintains and discloses this policy.
Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his
or her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a cost
free means to exercise that right.
As stated in this policy,
you have agreed to allow us to share information with third parties for their
direct marketing purposes until you remove your information and thus, agreement
for such disclosure. To prevent disclosure of your personal information for use
in direct marketing by a third party, do not opt in to such use when you
provide personally identifiable information on one of our sites or contact us
via email to remove your information from our database. Please note that
whenever you opt in to receive future communications from a third party, your
information will be subject to the third party's privacy policy. If you later
decide that you do not want that third party to use your information, you will
need to contact the third party directly, as we have no control over how third
parties use information. You should always review the privacy policy of any
party that collects your information to determine how that entity will handle
your information.
California customers may
request further information about our compliance with this law by
e-mailing privacy@higher-hire.com. Please note that we are
only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not
required to respond to requests made by means other than through this e-mail
address.
