Uses of information
The Plus Group collects and uses your personal information to operate and improve its sites and deliver the services or carry out the transactions you have requested. These uses may include providing you with more effective customer service, making the sites or services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information, and performing research and analysis aimed at improving our services and technologies.
Personal information collected on The Plus Group Website and services may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which The Plus Group or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using a The Plus Group site or service, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.
Disclosure of Information
The Plus Group will not knowingly disclose to any third party your personal information or information about your individual visits to this site without your prior consent, except to the extent necessary or appropriate to perform its services, in connection with a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, or to comply with applicable laws, legal process served on The Plus Group, or in legal proceedings where (i) such information is relevant or (ii) where The Plus Group believes in good faith that the law requires such disclosure. To the extent that you include your personal information (including e-mail address) on any resume you submit or post to the site, The Plus Group cannot control the use of such information by third-party clients of The Plus Group or third-party recruiters or placement consultants that obtain your resume from The Plus Group.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information to The Plus Group employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
Data integrity
The Plus Group processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal information needed to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary.
Accessing and updating personal information
When you use The Plus Group services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort. Some of our services have different procedures to access, correct or delete users' personal information.
Enforcement
When we receive formal written complaints at this address, it is The Plus Group's practice to contact the complaining user regarding his or her concerns. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between The Plus Group and an individual.
Changes to this policy
By using this site, you consent to the collection, storage, and dissemination of personal information as described above. The Plus Group will post any changes to our privacy policy on this page so that you can readily review the most current policy. As the policy may change from time to time, you should check back periodically. The Plus Group reserves the right to send you e-mail regarding changes to our privacy policy or any other matters The Plus Group considers necessary for the administration of this site.
