This website includes links to third party sites, each of which has its own privacy statements that can be viewed within each respective website. Except for our service providers, Czarnowski has no direct control over the policies or practices of participating merchants and other third parties and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of those sites. We recommend and encourage that you always review the privacy policies of merchants and other third parties before you provide any personal information or complete any transaction with such parties.
When we speak of “personal information”, we are referring to the type of information that can be used to identify a person or a household or that can be reasonably associated with a person or household.
Czarnowski collects different types of personal information from different sources:
Personal information collected from individuals:
When individuals visit our publicly accessible website, Czarnowski collects personal information from those individuals if they choose to provide this information to us. Individuals may decide to provide their personal information to us if they are interested in our services, if they have questions about the company, if they subscribe to our blog, if they are interested in employment, or for some other reason.
The categories of personal information that we may collect from individuals, if they choose to provide it, include the following: (a) personal identifiers (e.g., first and last name, address, business e-mail address, and telephone number); (b) professional information (e.g., the name of the organization with which the individual is associated and their job title); (c) their resume information and employment application information; and (d) any other personal information that the individual may voluntarily provide to us in an online form.
Via automated tools: Czarnowski collects certain personal information via automated tools.
a. Web Server Logs
When you visit our website, we may track information to administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track include:
b. Use of Cookies
Czarnowski may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
This information is used for internal purposes only. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Thus, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.
Czarnowski reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as the merging into Czarnowski.com of a site that relies on third- party cookies).
You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings, be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our website.
c. Use of Web Beacons or GIF Files
Czarnowski / www.czarnowski.com web pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow Czarnowski to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Czarnowski may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon. Some of these web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. Czarnowski prohibits web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.
Czarnowski uses personal information collected for the following purposes: (a) to contact prospective clients and others who request that we contact them; (b) to respond to questions, concerns, and comments submitted to us by the individuals; (c) to send our blog updates and other information to individuals who indicate an interest; (d) to inform individuals of modification and updates to the Services and to communicate other announcements about Czarnowski and our Services; (e) to invite you to participate in user testing and surveys; (f) to identify usage trends and develop data analysis, including for purposes of audit, reporting and other business operations; and, (g) to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
Czarnowski may disclose personal information as necessary or appropriate in connection with any of the purposes for which we use personal information as described above in “How Do We Use the Personal Information We Collect”.
These third parties include service providers that help host or support the website or otherwise provide technical assistance as well as companies we hire to manage the employment applications we receive. Czarnowski transfers to these service providers only the personal information they need to deliver to Czarnowski the product or service we contracted for. Czarnowski prohibits these service providers from using that information for any other purpose. Czarnowski requires that these service providers maintain commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of your information.
Czarnowski also may in good faith disclose personal information for any of the following purposes: (i) to investigate, prevent or take action regarding actual or suspected illegal activities or fraud and situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person; (ii) responding to or defending against subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; (iii) establishing or exercising Czarnowski’s legal rights; or (iv) otherwise complying with applicable law. Czarnowski may also disclose personal information in the event (a) Czarnowski is subject to a change of control, (b) our website changes ownership, in whole or in part, or (c) of a bankruptcy, receivership or a similar transaction, we may provide personal information to the subsequent owner(s), including as part of any due diligence process.
We will keep personal information for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is permitted or required by law.
