1. WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT COMPLIANCE

We do not collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age. The Site, products and services are all directed to people who are at least 13 years old or older. If you are under the age of 13, you are not authorized to use the Site.

  • Name

b) Information We Collect Through Technology On The Site

We collect information through technology to enhance our ability to serve you. When you access and use the Site, Broekema Group collects information about how you interact with the Site.  We describe below methods we use to collect information through technology.

IP Address And Other Connection Information

When you visit the Site, we collect your browser information, and Internet Protocol (IP) address. An IP address is often associated with the portal you used to enter the Internet, like your Internet service provider (ISP), company, association, or university.  While an IP address may reveal your ISP or geographic area, we cannot determine your identity solely based upon your IP address. We do not link your personal information to device identifier information, browser information, or IP addresses.

Do We Use Cookies?

Yes. Cookies are small files that the Site or our service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser that enables the Site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies to help us understand how users use the Site. For example, cookies gather information about how long you spend on a web page so that we can understand what web pages are of most interest to users.

If you prefer, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off cookies by adjusting your browser settings. If you turn off your cookies, some of the features on the Site may not function properly.

Google Analytics

We use cookies provided by Google Analytics, a third-party service provider, to assist us in better understanding our Site visitors.  These cookies collect data tied to a user’s IP address, such as the length of time a user spends on a page, the pages a user visits, and the websites a user visits before and after visiting the Site.  Based on this information, Google Analytics compiles aggregate data about Site traffic and Site interactions, which we use to offer better Site experiences and tools in the future.  For more information on Google Analytics, visit https://support.google.com/analytics.

Your ‘Do Not Track’ Browser Setting

Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature (DNT) that signals to the websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Many websites and applications, including our Site, do not currently respond to web browser DNT signals because such signals are not yet uniform. For more information about DNT signals, please visit http://allaboutdnt.com.

c) Information You Provide To A Third Party

The Site includes links from the Site to, and plug-ins (such as LinkedIn buttons) from, sites or applications operated by third parties (“Third-Party Sites”).  Broekema Group does not control any Third-Party Sites and is not responsible for any information they may collect. The information collection practices of a Third-Party Site are governed by its privacy policy. It is your choice to enter any Third-Party Site. We recommend that you read its privacy policy if you choose to do so.

 

2. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use the information we collect to serve you and improve your experience on the Site. Some examples include:

3. HOW WE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.  The following are some of the ways we disclose your personal information:

  • Employers: If you apply through us to a job opening at a potential employer that is one of our clients, we will provide the potential employer with the information in your application, e.g., your name, contact information, and resume.
  • Third-Party Service Providers: We will disclose your personal information to third-party service providers under contract with Broekema Group to help us provide services to you.  The following are some examples of the types of third-party service providers to which we disclose your personal information and our purpose for doing so:
    • Consultants: We retain consultants to help us evaluate applicants in certain industries.
    • Legal Advice: We may disclose your personal information to an attorney in the process of obtaining legal advice.

    We require these third-party service providers, by written agreement, to provide safeguards for your personal information similar to the ones that we provide.

  • Required Disclosures: We may be required to disclose personal information in a court proceeding, in response to a court order, subpoena, civil discovery request, other legal process, or as otherwise required by law.
  • Legal Compliance and Protections: We may disclose account and other personal information when we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with the law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Broekema Group, our users, or others. This includes exchanging personal information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
  • Corporate Transactions: We reserve the right to disclose and transfer your data, including your personal information:
    • To a subsequent owner, co-owner, or operator of the Site or successor database.
    • In connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, bankruptcy, the sale of substantially all of our membership interests and/or assets or other corporate change, including to any prospective purchasers.

4. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

The security and confidentiality of your personal information is important to us.  We have technical, administrative, and physical security measures in place to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure and improper use.

For example, we use Transport Security Layer (TSL) encryption to protect the data collection forms on our Site. In addition, we restrict access to your personal information. Only employees who need the personal information to perform a specific job (for example, a recruiter) are granted access to personal information. Employees with access to personal information are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to close your browser after you have completed your visit to the Site.

Please note that despite our reasonable efforts, no security measure is ever perfect or impenetrable, so we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

 

5. YOUR CHOICES REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You may contact humanresources@broekemagroup.com to access, update, correct, and delete your personal information.

In addition, you may email Broekema Group at humanresources@broekemagroup.com with your request, stating “Unsubscribe” in the header and what email addresses you wish not to receive Broekema Group emails. Within a reasonable period, we shall ensure that such email addresses are unsubscribed.
