Information collection and use
A special note about children: Metropolitan Personnel, Inc. does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen, and does not wish to collect any such information. Federal law requires Website operators who collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen to first get parental consent, and children should always get permission from their parents before sending any information about themselves (such as their names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers) over the internet, to us or to anyone else.
The information made available to Metropolitan is information voluntarily supplied by visitors to the Website. Supplying such information is entirely voluntary. But if you choose not to supply the information, we may be unable to provide you with the services you request. When you submit any personally identifying information over this Website, Metropolitan (1) will use the information for the purposes described at the time you submit it (for example, your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address provided while submitting a resume), and (2) may use the information to contact you to make you aware of other services of interest. Of course, if you want to remain completely anonymous, you're still free to take advantage of the publicly available content on our Website.
To help make our site more responsive to the needs of our visitors, we invoke a standard feature of browser software, called a "cookie," to assign each visitor a unique, randomly generated number that temporarily resides on your computer. The cookie itself doesn't actually identify the visitor, just the particular computer session that a visitor uses to access our Website. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself, we won't know who you are, even if we generate a cookie for your particular Website session. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply.
We use cookies to help us tailor our Website to your needs, to deliver a better, more personalized service. For example, we may use cookies to track the pages on our Website visited by our users. We can build a better Website if we know which pages our users are visiting, and how often. Of course, you can program your browser to not accept cookies, but if you do, you may not be able to take advantage of the personalized features enjoyed by other visitors to our Website.
In connection with the standard operation of Metropolitan's systems, certain non-personally
identifiable information about visitors to this Website is recorded. This information is used
primarily to tailor and enhance visitors' experience using the Website. We may use this
information in an aggregate, non-personally identifiable form to, among other things, measure
the use of our Website and determine which services are the most popular with Website visitors.
Other Websites
To make our Website more valuable to our visitors, we may include links to other Websites whose privacy policies we don't control. Once you leave our Website (you can tell where you are by checking the address—known as a URL—in the location bar on your browser), use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the Website you're visiting. Their policy may differ from ours. If you can't find the privacy policy of any of these Websites via a link form the site's home page, you should contact the Website directly for more information.
Security
All information gathered on our Website is stored within a Metropolitan Personnel, Inc. database accessible only to Metropolitan and its specifically authorized contractors. However, as effective as any security measure implemented by Metropolitan may be, no security system is impene- trable. We cannot guarantee the complete security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to s over the Internet. If you don't want us to know any particular information about you, don't include it in anything that you submit or post to this Website.
Changes to this privacy statement
We may change this privacy statement from time to time. If we change this privacy statement at some point in the future, we'll post the changes on our Website and by continuing to use the Website after we post any changes, you accept and agree to this privacy statement, as modified. Of course, our use of information gathered while the current privacy statement is in effect will always be consistent with the current statement, even if we change that statement later.
