II. INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU AND HOW WE COLLECT IT

We may collect several types of information from and about users of our Website, including information:

by which you may be personally identified, such as name, e-mail address, telephone number, geographic location (provided using GPS, Wi-Fi, or similar technology in the device that you use to access our Website so that we can provide content customized toy our location), background information, or any other information collected on the Website that is defined as personally identifiable information under applicable law (“Personal Information”); and/or relating to social media, if you provide us your social network identifier (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.), you acknowledge and understand that Rooster may access and use information stored in such service related to your profile or your contacts, including but not limited to photos, emails, birthdays, contacts list (or other publicly available information about your contacts) in order to enhance your communication experience. Rooster will access such information in compliance with security, privacy or other applicable restrictions. We do not store or process password or security related information; and/or about your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Website and usage details.

We collect this information:

  • Directly from you when you provide it to us.

  • Automatically as you navigate through the Website. Information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses, connection information, service and performance-related information and information collected through cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies.

Information You Give to Us. The information we collect on or through our Website may include:

  • Information that you provide on our Website. This includes information provided when you contact us; when you apply for a position through e-mail; when we process or respond to your inquiries related to your requests or your application; and when you provide feedback on our Website.

  • Your responses to questions that we might ask you to complete for application purposes.

Information We Collect About You. As with many other websites, as you navigate through and interact with our Website, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:

  • Details of your visits to our Website, including traffic data, location data, logs, language, date and time of access, frequency, and other communication data and the resources that you access and use on the Website.

  • Information about your computer and internet connection, including your IP address, operating system, host domain, and browser type.

  • Details of referring websites (URL). We also may use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking).


The information we collect automatically is statistical data and may include Personal Information. We may also maintain it or associate it with Personal Information you provide to us or that we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve our Website and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to:

  • Estimate our audience size and usage patterns.

  • Store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize our Website according to your individual interests
    Speed up your experience.

  • Recognize you when you return to our Website.

As with many other sites, our Website may use “cookies” or other technologies to help us deliver content specific to your interests, to process your requests, and/or to analyze your visiting patterns. We may collect the following types of information about your visit including: the domain from which you access the Internet; IP address; operating system and information about the device or browser used when visiting the site; date and time of your visit; content you visited or downloaded; and website (such as google.com or bing.com) and website referral source (email notice or social media site) that connected you to the Website. Our Website uses two types of cookies: single-session (temporary) and multi-session (persistent). Temporary cookies last only as long as your web browser is open, and are used for technical purposes such as enabling better navigation through our Website. Once you close your browser, the cookie disappears. Persistent cookies are stored on your computer for longer periods and are used for purposes including tracking the number of unique visitors to our site and information such as the number of views a page gets, how much time a user spends on a page, and other pertinent web statistics. Cookies, by themselves, will not be used by Rooster to disclose your individual identity. This information identifies your browser, but not you, to our servers when you visit the Website. We do not respond to ‘do not track’ signals in your browser. We may also collect data by using “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “web bugs,” “clear GIFs” or similar means (collectively, “Pixel Tags”) that allow us to know when you visit our Website. Through Pixel Tags, we obtain non-Personal Information or aggregate information that can be used to enhance your online experience and understand traffic patterns and online movements of web users.

Information We Receive From Other Sources. This is information we receive about you if you use any of the other services we provide. We sometimes work with third parties (including, for example, third parties intermediaries with whom we partner to provide you with services, sub-contractors in technical, analytics providers, and search information providers) to evaluate usage of the Website. For example, we may use Google Analytics, to collect analytics information about the Website. These analytics providers may use cookies and other technologies to perform their services, and may combine the information that they collect about you on our Website with other information that they have collected. These third parties’ use of your information will be governed by their respective privacy policies and terms of use.

In addition, we may use third-party providers to serve or track interactions on other websites. You may link to or access our Website using other third-party websites. Use of such third-party websites is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies of those third parties. Rooster does not control the use of this technology or the resulting information and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.

V. CHOICES ABOUT HOW WE USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the Personal Information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with control over your information:

Tracking Technologies and Advertising. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our Website may then be inaccessible or may not function properly.

Do Not Track. We do not currently respond to “do not track” signals as we do not track users across third party websites.


VI. WHAT MEASURES WE TAKE TO SAFEGUARD YOUR INFORMATION

The security of your Personal Information is very important to us. We maintain commercially reasonable security safeguards that are designed to protect the Personal Information we collect against unauthorized use, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Notwithstanding the steps we have taken to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, Rooster cannot guarantee or warrant that your Personal Information is under absolute security with the existing security technology.
