We recognize the confidential nature of much of the information with which we are entrusted, and we are committed to the high standards of privacy and security. The nature of our business requires that at times we gather information that is of a personal nature and that you wish to keep protected. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is intended to familiarize you with our policies for the gathering, use, maintenance and protection of personal information on the Site.
More specifically, this Policy summarizes how the Company handles the personal and other information we collect, and users of the Site provide while accessing and using the Site.

We collect and use this information in order to carry out our business functions and provide a high quality of service. In general, the Company may compile statistical information concerning the usage of the Site. This information allows the Company to monitor its utilization and continuously improve its quality. Examples of this information would include, but not be limited to, the number of visitors to the Site, or to sections or pages within the Site, patterns of traffic flowing through the Site, length of time spent on the Site, or in sections or pages of the Site, the other sites that refer visitors to the Site, the pages of the Site that visitors frequently use as entry and exit points, utilization of the browser and operating systems and versions used by visitors to the Site.
In order to compile this information, the Company may collect and store your IP address, your operating system version, your browser version, the pages you visit within the Site, the length of time you spend on pages within the Site, the site from which you linked to ours, search terms you used in search engines which resulted in you linking to the Site, etc. While all of this information can be associated with the IP address your computer had while you visited the Site, it will not be associated with you as an individual, or associated with any other information you may submit through the Site, or that Company may store about you for any other purposes.
Additionally, if you decide to provide your personal information, the types of personal information we may collect about you through the Site includes: (i) your contact information, such as name, address, e-mail address, phone numbers; and (ii) employment history information if you seek employment with us which might include your work history.
The Company may use web site “cookies” in the process of compiling the statistical information mentioned above and to tailor certain pages of the Site for your browsing convenience. A cookie file can contain information such as the URL you came from, your computer’s IP address and domain type (e.g., .com or .org, etc.), your browser type, the country, state and telephone area code where your server is located, the pages of our site that were viewed during a visit, and any search terms that you entered on our site.

Use of Information. In general, we will use the information we collect about you only for the purpose it was collected, as otherwise provided in this Policy, and as permitted or required by law. For example, we might use your information to enhance our Site, or to communicate with you about the Site or our products and services.
Disclosure of Information. In general, we will not disclose your information for any purposes other than those in conjunction with the business activities requested of us unless otherwise permitted or required by law or by this Policy. In the course of our normal business activities, we may disclose collected information to both affiliates and non-affiliated entities, as we deem necessary. For example, and without limitation, the Company may need to use or disclose this information with its third party vendors to manage its website, respond to subpoenas, defend litigation, enhance its services, and protect the Company’s legal rights. We endeavor to choose affiliates and non-affiliates with similar standards to ours regarding the protection of personal information.
In no case will the Company sell or license personal information to third parties, except as required or permitted by law. For example, we may share personal information in connection with certain business transactions, such as the acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. In such cases, we will take appropriate steps under the circumstances and to the extent possible to ensure that the recipient agrees to provide privacy protections substantially similar to those established by this Policy.
Do Not Track. “Do Not Track” is a privacy preference that you can set in your Internet search browser that sends a signal to a website that you do not want the website operator to track certain browsing information about you. However, because our Site is not configured to detect Do Not Track signals from a user’s computer, we are unable to respond to Do Not Track requests.

Jurisdiction for any claims arising under or out of this Privacy Policy shall lie exclusively with the state and federal courts within Ohio.
