Scope.

This statement covers only data collected through the site and not any other data collection or processing, including, without limitation, data collection practices of other web pages to which we link or data that we or our affiliates collect offline or through web sites that do not display a direct link to this statement.

Types of Data and Collection Methods.

When you send a message to request information (as a client, candidate or otherwise) or otherwise actively send us data, we usually collect and use your name and email address(es) and certain information related to the business you represent. If you contact us as a candidate, we additionally collect resume information. In each such instance, you will know what data we collect through the site, because you actively submit it.

We use the data we collect for the following general purposes: To respond to the request that you sent us such as your request for information on our services or your candidate or job search; to administer, protect and improve our site and our systems; to better understand the preferences of our site visitors; to compile aggregated statistics about site usage; to inform you about our services.

Disclosures of Personal Information.

If you send us your resume, CV or other job search-related information, we may share it with potential employers to identify job opportunities and in the context of checking out references and resume details (of course, you can instruct us not to contact your current employer or request other limitations). We are not in the business of selling or renting your information to telemarketers and do not share your personally identifiable information with others, except as follows: We freely share your information within the Russell Reynolds group of companies (click here for office locations).
