In general, you may visit our Website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. You may provide certain personal information if you register an account or to use any of our products/services needing personal information or if you send email or other information to us as described below. Like many websites, we also collect information automatically that may be connected to you from the servers used to support the Service as described below.

In addition, when registering your account, you will have the option of providing certain additional information such as your geographical location and current employer. If you opt to take advantage of our calendar-linking scheduling tool by giving us permission to access your online calendar (available for certain calendar providers only),we read some or all of your public and private calendar events (including but not limited to the start and end times) for purposes of facilitating interview scheduling via the Service only.
