Information gathered and its use:

Although COMTEK Group may collect certain information from you as discussed below, please be reassured of the following:

We will not disclose your social security number or any other personal information you provide to us unless you authorize us to do so, except where needed to deliver a service or product ordered by you or under the limited circumstances set forth below.

Please be advised that we may share your personal information with our parent company or affiliated divisions/companies, which may contact you regarding recruitment opportunities. We will always give you the opportunity to access and correct your personal information at any time. We will not disclose your application status without your authorization.

Personal information that you give us:

We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. There are various areas on our Web site where COMTEK Group either requires or permits you to transfer personal information. We use this personal information only for the purpose specified at the time you input such information, including contacting you for employment opportunities with us or our clients. For example, when using various features of our Web site, we may ask you to provide your name, address, telephone number, email address, licensure, certifications, education and/or employment history and other personal/career information. Depending upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.

Information that we derive independently from your use of the site:

Aside from any information you may actively disclose to COMTEK Group, there is other less obvious information that we might obtain, as described below. We may use such information for internal purposes such as to improve the content of our Web pages or to customize the layout of our pages for each individual according to their preferences. In addition, we may track your account history regarding your participation on the Web site and may collect, use and store information such as type of operating system and Internet browser you are using and the particular web pages you view, the date and time you access our site, you authenticated user name and referring Internet address (including key words used in the search engine).

Aggregate and related information:

COMTEK Group’s system automatically collects information about the pages that visitors view on our Web site. We may use this aggregate information to understand how our members collectively use the services we provide so that we can improve our Web site. Furthermore, we may share such aggregate statistical information with our partners, affiliates or other outside companies, but in doing so, it is not our practice to disclose individual names or other personal information. Some examples of how we aggregate such information are as follows:

Cookies:

COMTEK Group may employ the use of cookies. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies enable user registration, login and personalization, among other things. A cookie cannot identify you personally; however it can identify your computer. Your browser is most likely set up to accept cookies automatically. If you would like to disable this feature, you may do so by adjusting the options or preferences in your browser. However, by doing so, you will lose some of the conveniences of our Web pages.

IP addresses:

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you begin service with an Internet Service Provider. COMTEK Group collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to audit the use of our site. Each time you log onto our site and each time you request one of our pages, our server logs your IP address. Although we log your session with us, we will not normally link your IP address to anything that can enable us to identify you. However, we can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our rules or terms of service or to protect our service, site, users or others.

Other information:

COMTEK Group may require other information for tracking or verifying compliance with our policies, abiding by federal, state and local laws and for editorial and feedback solicitation purposes. In addition, from time to time, we may use your information for unanticipated uses, such as notification of new services, announcements and general communications. If our information practices materially change at some time in the future, we will post such changes to the site before we use your data for these new purposes. If you are concerned about how your information is used, please periodically check this privacy policy.

Disclosure:

We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personally Identifiable Information to others. We do provide some of our services through contractual arrangements with affiliates, services providers, partners and other third parties. We and our service partners use your Personally Identifiable Information to operate our sites and to deliver their services. We will encourage our service partners to adopt and post privacy policies. However, the use of your Personally Identifiable Information by our service partners is governed by the privacy policies of those service partners, and is not subject to our control.

COMTEK Group may disclose user information in special cases when we believe that such disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property or the rights or property of our users or others. Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful. Finally, in the event of a merger or sale of COMTEK Group’s assets we reserve the right to transfer such personal information to a third party who agrees to abide by this Privacy Policy and use such personal information only for the purposes it was originally provided.

Password Control:

To help secure User Information, COMTEK Group has designed a password protected system. We will never ask for your password or user identification in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. Except as specifically permitted by this privacy policy or other instructions regarding the use of our web site or services you may not, and will ensure that you do not, lend, give, or otherwise disclose any passwords or user identifications to any unauthorized person, or permit any unauthorized person to use your accounts, related passwords or user identifications. Any loss of control of passwords or user identifications may result in the loss of control over Personally Identifiable Information. You will be responsible for any actions taken on your behalf or any person using your passwords or user identifications. If passwords or user identifications have been compromised for any reason, then you should immediately notify us so that we may issue you new passwords or user identifications.

Third-Party Web Sites:

You may have the option to enter third-party web sites through COMTEK Group’s web site or you may have the option to enter our web site from another third party web site. Other sites have their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. Please consult each site’s privacy policy. We do not endorse any product or service that may be mentioned or offered in such sites, and are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such sites.

Opting-out:

If at any time you object to our use of your personal information, including use of your email address, you may stop that use by emailing your request to webmaster@comtek-group.com and use “Opt-Out” in the subject line.

Security:

At our site you can be assured that your Personally Identifiable Information is secure, consistent with current industry standards. Security is a top priority for COMTEK Group. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your Internet connection to our servers. We also take great care to protect user-information off-line. Only authorized personnel handle your data and our database servers have a backup system to prevent loss of data. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure and we will not be held liable should a third party illegally obtain your personal information. While we have made a great effort to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Our policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet and therefore beyond our control and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this site cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.

Miscellaneous Privacy Issues:

You must be at least 18 years old to have our permission to use this site. Our policy is that we do not knowingly collect, use or disclose Personally Identifiable Information about visitors who are under 18 years of age.

Your acceptance of these terms:

You acknowledge that this Privacy Policy is part of our Site Terms of Use, and by accessing or using our site, you agree to be bound by all of its terms and conditions. If you do not agree with this policy, please refrain from using our site. Notice of any changes to our privacy policy will be posted on this site. Since we reserve the right to modify this policy at any time, we recommend that you refer to it regularly.
