THIRD PARTY LINKS 

The Sites may contain links to websites operated by parties other than the Company, including websites operated by hotel, resort and hospitality companies and our Strategic Business Partners. We do not control such websites and are not responsible for their contents, privacy policies or other practices. Our inclusion of links to such websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators. Further, it is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever links you select or software you download (whether from this Site or other websites) is free of such items as viruses, worms, trojan horses, defects and other items of a destructive nature. These websites and services may have their own privacy policies, which you will be subject to upon linking to the third party's website. The Company strongly recommends that you review the third party's terms and policies. 

Links to Third Party Integrations.  We may provide links to third party integrations. Third party integrations are websites or platforms that synchronize with our Sites or Services to provide you with additional functionality, tools, or services such as directions, collecting resumes, sharing documents or videos, or sending announcements.  

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 is collected by such sites.  We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms and conditions on those linked sites. 

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER 

We are committed to complying with applicable laws, regulations and mandatory government standards regarding the protection of personal data. 

Personal data and any additional information submitted may be used globally in connection with employment, business processes within the Company, or communicating with our clients. Therefore, personal data may be transferred to other Company entities worldwide, where it will be processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and laws that are applicable in each country. Countries where we process data may have laws which are different, and potentially not as protective, as the laws of your own country. 

HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL DATA 

The Company maintains reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the user's personal data and information against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures that seek to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account technological reality, cost, the scope, context and purposes of processing weighted against the severity and likelihood that the processing could threaten individual rights and freedoms. For example, we use commercially reasonable security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and Secure Socket Layer software (SSL) or hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) to protect personal data. 

If the Company collects account information for payment or credit, the Company will use the information only to complete the task for which the account information was offered. 

Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that the security of your account has been compromised, please notify us immediately in accordance with the "How to Contact Us" section, below.

Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the Site and will apply to your use of the Site and the Services and the Company’s practices concerning personal information after the “Effective Date” listed above. Your use of the Services or Sites following these changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy. 

APPLICABLE LAW 

Our Privacy Policy is governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Georgia USA without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Jurisdiction for any claims arising under or out of this Privacy Policy will lie exclusively with the state and federal courts within DeKalb County, Georgia USA.  If any provision of this Privacy Policy is found to be invalid by a court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Privacy Policy, which will remain in full force and effect.
