We may also rely on information from third parties in order to provide better, more personalized service. If you connect your social media services or other accounts to our services, we may use this information to make your experiences with us more personal and social or share and use it as described elsewhere in this Policy.

How We Share Your Data. In general, we will not disclose your personal data we collect through this Site except with your consent or as described in this Policy. We may disclose your data for the same reasons that we may use it as described in this Policy, which includes disclosing it to our affiliates and non-affiliated entities, as we deem necessary to carry out those purposes. We do not share or sell your personally identifiable information with any third-party advertisers for their advertising. If you no longer wish to receive a communication from Durham Staffing, you have the option of unsubscribing from our mailing list for that communication.

  • As you direct;
  • To manage, improve, and optimize the Site;
  • To provide you with products, services, or offers;
  • To enhance our services by, among other methods, obtaining assistance with providing more personalized services to you through analytics and other technologies;
  • To protect our interests and legal rights, such as through responding to subpoenas and defending litigation; and
  • To protect against and prevent fraud, illegal activity (such as identifying and responding to incidents of hacking or misuse of our websites and mobile applications), and claims and other liabilities.

We endeavor to choose affiliates and non-affiliates with similar standards to ours regarding the protection of data.

Legal Process, Security, Defense, Protection. It is possible that we will need to use or disclose information about you if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process. Additionally, we may disclose information about you if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to:

  • demonstrate our relationship with you;

  • protect the security or integrity of the Site;
  • investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party allegations or claims; or

Change in Control or Sale.  We may share, sell, assign, or license your personally identifiable information in connection with certain business transactions, such as a sale, acquisition, merger, or change in control, or in preparation for any of these events. In such cases, we will take appropriate steps under the circumstances and to the extent possible to ensure that the recipient will apply privacy protections substantially similar to those established by this Policy.  Any entity that acquires all or substantially all of the Durham Staffing’s assets will have the right to continue using your data consistent with this Policy or as otherwise agreed to by you.

In no case will we sell or license your personally identifiable information to third parties, except as set forth above or as required or permitted by law.

Social Media Plugins.  This Site may use social media plugins (e.g. Facebook and LinkedIn) to enable you to easily share information with others.  When you visit our Site, the operator of the social plugin can place a cookie on your computer, enabling that operator to recognize individuals who have previously visited our Site.  If you are logged into the social media website (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) while browsing our Site, the social plugins allow that social media website to share data about your activities on our Site with other users of their social media website.  For example, Facebook Social Plugins allow Facebook to show your Likes and comments on our pages to your Facebook friends.  Facebook Social Plugins also allow you to see your friends’ Facebook activity on our website.  We do not control any of the content form the social media plugins.  For more information about social plugins from other media websites you should refer to those sites’ privacy and data/information sharing statements/policies.

Safeguarding of Information. No system for safeguarding personal or other information is 100% secure and even though we have taken steps to protect your personally identifiable information from being intercepted, accessed, used or disclosed by unauthorized persons, we cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with personal information.  However, we take a number of steps to safeguard the security of personally identifiable information obtained through the Site. For example, we maintain administrative, technical and physical controls to reasonably safeguard data from unlawful use, unauthorized access or disclosure.

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.   This Site does not collect personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across different Web sites when a consumer uses our Site or service.

Links to Third Parties’ Sites.  We may provide links to websites or resources outside of our Site for your informational purposes only.  You acknowledge and agree we are not responsible for the availability of such sites or resources, and do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, goods, services or other materials on, available through or provided by such sites or resources.  We are not responsible for the privacy or other practices of such sites and cannot guarantee the security of any of your personal information that you provide or may be collected by such sites.  We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms and conditions on those linked sites.

Durham Staffing does not knowingly collect, use or disclose any personally identifiable information from children. If you are concerned about your child’s use of the Site, you may use web-filtering technology to supervise or limit access to the Site.

Jurisdiction for any claims arising under or out of this Privacy Policy shall lie exclusively with the state and federal courts within Georgia. If any provision of this Policy is found to be invalid by a court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Policy, which shall remain in full force and effect.

You may submit your request using the contact information at the end of this Policy. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.

Submitting Consumer Rights Requests. To submit any of the Consumer Rights requests as outlined above, please contact us at (716) 684-3333 and [email protected].

If the Company requests, you must provide us with sufficient information to verify your identity and/or authority to act on behalf of the consumer. We may not be able to respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.  However, making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.  We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of receipt, but we may require an extension of up to forty-five (45) additional days to respond and we will notify you of the need for the extension.
