What Personal Information About Users Does TalentBlueBook.com Gather?

The information we learn from users helps us personalize and continually improve your experience at TalentBlueBook.com. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of some of our features. We use the information that you provide for various purposes such as responding to your requests, customizing future browsing for you, improving our website, and communicating with you.
Automatic Information: We may receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. Like many Websites, we may use "cookies," and we may obtain various types of information when your Web browser accesses TalentBlueBook.com. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. We will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at TalentBlueBook.com if we cannot recognize you; however, we do want you to be aware that these third party tools exist.
E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and effective, we generally receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from TalentBlueBook.com if your computer supports such capabilities. We may compare our user list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our users. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please contact us with your preferences.
Information from Other Sources: For reasons related to improving personalization of our services, we may receive information about you from other sources and add it to your account information. We also may receive updated delivery and address information from other sources in order to update our records and deliver future communication more easily and effectively.

What About Cookies?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features unique to Talent Bluebook.com.
The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Please note however, that cookies may allow you to take full advantage of some of TalentBlueBook.com's unique features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Does TalentBlueBook.com Share the Information It Receives?

Information about our users is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. TalentBlueBook.com does not sell, and will never sell, information about you to external marketers, list brokers, or other third parties without your consent. Nor will we give such information to affiliated businesses or companies that we team up with to provide co-branded or jointly owned offerings unless you choose to take advantage of those offerings, and even then, any sharing of information is limited to information relating to the offering. Further, whenever we deal with user information, we will always comply with applicable laws and regulations in doing so.

Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: We work closely with affiliated businesses. From time to time we will include offerings from these businesses on TalentBlueBook.com. In other instances, we may include joint offerings from TalentBlueBook.com and affiliated businesses on TalentBlueBook.com. It will be apparent when another business is involved in the offering, and we share user information related to offerings with that business.
Agents: We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. They may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Promotional Offers: On occasion we may send offers to selected groups of TalentBlueBook.com users on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and e-mail address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please contact us with your preferences.
Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy additional services or business units. In such transactions, user information generally is transferred along with the rest of the service or business unit. Also, in the event that TalentBlueBook.com, LLC. or  its assets are acquired, user information will most likely be included in the transaction.
Protection of TalentBlueBook.com and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of TalentBlueBook.com, our users, or third parties. This will include the exchange information with other third parties for fraud protection.
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will be given ample opportunity to choose not to share the information.
