When you use the Services, we and our service providers may automatically collect general location information (e.g., IP address, city/state and/or postal code associated with an IP address) from your computer or mobile device. This information allows us to enable access to content that varies based on a user’s general location.
Our Use of Cookies and Similar Online Tools
To collect the information discussed in this section, we and our service providers use web server logs, cookies, tags, beacons, SDKs, tracking pixels, and other similar tracking technologies (collectively, “cookies”). For example, we use Google Analytics to collect information about the use of our Site, what pages you access, when they are accessed, and what other websites were accessed prior to using the Site.

When you “like” or “follow” us on LinkedIn or other social media sites, as applicable, we may receive limited information that the platform makes available to us, which may include your name, email address, and any comments or content you post that relate to us. We may also receive information you choose to provide if you sign up for one of our promotions or submit information to us through social media sites. The data we receive is dependent upon an individual’s privacy settings with the network. We encourage you to review your privacy settings on third-party websites and networks, and adjust them as you see fit, before sharing information with us or through the social media platform.

If such transfer is subject to additional mandatory restrictions under applicable laws, we will comply with such restrictions.
- Consent. We may also disclose your information in other ways you direct us to and when we have your consent.
