Privacy Policy
Mike Hooks is committed to protecting the privacy of Website visitors and job applicants. We believe it is important for you to understand the type of information we collect about you and how that information is used. We recognize the need for appropriate safeguards and management of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) you provide to us. This Privacy Policy sets forth the privacy principles Mike Hooks follows with respect to your PII.
How PII is Collected
Web Visitors
Mike Hooks collects PII about visitors to our website, but only when the visitor chooses to provide such information. For example, Mike Hooks now collects PII from job applicants for, among other things, legitimate human resource business reasons such as filling employment positions, performance management, company network access, and authentication.
Website Navigational Information
As you navigate the Website, Mike Hooks may collect information using commonly used information gathering tools, such as cookies and Web beacons. Website Navigational Information includes, without limitation, standard information from your Web browser (such as browser type and browser language), your Internet Protocol address, and the actions you take on the Website (such as the number of successful or failed logins, the date of your last login, the Web pages viewed and the links clicked). In addition, Mike Hooks collects general information about what features or tools you use and with what frequency and which features you do not use.
Cookies
In addition, some of Mike Hooks’ Web pages may contain “cookies”. A cookie is a small amount of data which our website stores on your computer, and which we can later retrieve. The cookie cannot be read by a site other than ours. We use cookies for various administrative purposes; for example, to store your preferences for certain kinds of information. No cookie will contain information that will allow anyone to contact you via telephone, e-mail, or any other means. You can monitor our use of cookies on your computer by setting your Web browser to inform you when cookies are set, or you can prevent the cookies from being set entirely. The “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Please understand that if you disable the use of cookies on your computer, you may be unable to access certain portions or services on our websites.
Use of Your PII
Other than as stated in this Privacy Policy, we will endeavor not to release your PII to unknown or unaffiliated third parties, and we will not cross-reference your PII with that of any other customer or entity.
You agree that Mike Hooks may share your PII with its service providers, which may include job application services. These service providers are required to maintain the confidentiality of your PII and are prohibited from using such information for any other purposes, including their own marketing purposes.
Mike Hooks reserves the right to use or disclose information provided by you if required by law or if Mike Hooks reasonably believes that use or disclosure is necessary to (i) protect and defend Mike Hooks’ rights or property; (ii) comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process; or (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the safety of Mike Hooks’ users, employees or the public at large.
Unless otherwise described herein, Mike Hooks does not share, sell, rent, or trade information provided by you with any third party without your prior consent.
Links to Third Party Websites
Mike Hooks’ websites may contain links to third-party sites for your convenience and/or information. If you access those links, you will leave Mike Hooks’ website and be re-directed to a third-party site. Mike Hooks does not control those sites or the privacy practices of those third-party sites, which may differ from Mike Hooks’ privacy practices. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites, and the personal data you choose to provide to third-party websites is not covered by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website or company before submitting your PII to them.
Security
To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to allow only the appropriate use of your PII, we utilize physical, technical, and administrative controls and procedures to safeguard the information we collect.
To protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your PII, Mike Hooks utilizes a variety of physical and logical access controls, firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, network and database monitoring, anti-virus, and backup systems. We use encrypted sessions when collecting or transferring sensitive data through our websites.
We limit access to your PII and data to those persons who have a specific business purpose for maintaining and processing such information. Mike Hooks employees who have been granted physical access to your PII are made aware of their responsibilities to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of that information and have been provided training and instruction on how to do so.
It is important that you protect yourself from any unauthorized use of your password and unauthorized access to your computer. If you share your computer with others you should ensure that you log out after every session. You are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your password and are fully responsible for all activities that occur using your password. Please notify Mike Hooks immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or any other breach of security.
