What Information Does iSeek Solutions Collect on its Web Sites?

Generally, users have access to the vast majority of services and information on iSeek Solutions Web sites without being required to provide any private information. However, there are several ways in which users can transmit information to iSeek Solutions Web sites.

Cookies and IP Addresses

iSeek Solutions Web sites use cookies (data stored on a user's computer that can later be retrieved by the web server) to maintain the continuity and security of the pagers users access. These cookies contain only a system-generated session identification number.

iSeek Solutions Web sites also analyze user IP addresses (the source address of the user's computer) to determine traffic patterns and to help with system maintenance. None of the information from cookies or IP addresses is linked to personally identifying information unless the user chooses to provide such information.

Promotions and Contests

Occasionally, iSeek Solutions Web sites will offer promotions and contests, which require the users' address information so that winners can be notified of their prize.

In connection with promotions and contests, users may also be asked to fill out a survey, which, however, is not linked to personally identifying information.

Job Bank Log-in

The ISEEK Web site links users to a Job Bank service, which may require membership for such functions as posting a resume. For this purpose, users need to enter personal information, such as their address and resume-related information. Users can control whether and when they choose to release their information to potential employers. Users are provided with an additional privacy notice before they join the Job Bank.

My ISEEK Account

The ISEEK Web site allows users to personalize the site to their needs by providing users with a personal page on which they can collect links to different pages within ISEEK. For this purpose, users need to create a username and a password. They may also provide contact information on a voluntary basis. This contact information is not necessary to use the personalized My ISEEK account.
