Privacy Policy
Thank you for visiting the AMERICAN SYSTEMS website (the “Site”). Your privacy is important to us. We want to help you better understand how we collect, use, safeguard, and share your personal information. This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand your privacy choices when you visit our Site or use our services. It does not apply to other websites that we do not control or other services that we may provide under contract.
We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and take the time to get to know our practices. If you have questions about this Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us at Privacy@AmericanSystems.com.
This Privacy Policy lists our current practices related to your personal information, but it may be adjusted from time to time at our discretion. We are a U.S.-based company, and your personal information will be processed by AMERICAN SYSTEMS and its related third parties in the U.S. On rare occasions, our related third parties may be located in other countries.
INFORMATION COLLECTION
AMERICAN SYSTEMS collects personal information which may include:
First and last name, company name, email address, postal address, IP address, device ID and other data, phone number, user ID, password and password hints, and other security information used for authentication and account access.
We use this information to provide you with our services, including identity confirmation, job applicant tracking, and indirect marketing.
Job applicant information provided during our job application process may include:
Name, contact information, date of birth, social security number, device and internet connection information, education and work history, gender, race or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, disability and veteran status, criminal record (where permitted by law), and other relevant information.
We use this information for human resources services, including, but not limited to, staffing, benefit enrollment, records management, analyzing our recruiting process and outcomes, conducting academic and employment verification, background investigations (where permitted by law), security clearance investigations, and affirmative action planning and analysis.
We use the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of computers that access our Site to help identify you, diagnose any problems with the Site, administer and improve our Site, and gather personal information related to the purposes specified above.
INFORMATION COLLECTION THROUGH COOKIES
We may use cookies to identify you and track your use of the Site to improve your user experience, tailor Site interactions, deliver content specific to your interests, provide support, and administer and improve the Site. Cookies are small files placed on your computer by the Site for identification purposes. Cookies identify you to the Site and are used to load your preferences and track the pages you visit.
Web browsers may be configured to automatically accept cookies, and most will allow you to modify the way cookies are handled. You may be able to configure your web browser to warn you when it receives a cookie in order to be given a choice to accept or reject the cookie, or you may be able to configure your browser to automatically refuse cookies. See the "Help" menu of your browser or its company’s website to learn how to change cookie preferences in your browser.
The Site does not respond to browser "Do Not Track" (“DNT”) requests.
INFORMATION USE
In general, you can visit many of our web pages without telling us any more personal information than your device and IP address information. In certain occasions like a mailing list signup or submitting an employment application, we will ask for additional personal information and request your consent to process it for a specified purpose. Whether or not you provide such information is completely your own choice, but our services may be limited.
If we decide to use your personal information in a manner materially different from that stated in our Privacy Policy at the time that such information was collected, we will obtain your consent before any additional processing is begun. You agree that if we send such notice to your then-current e-mail address as reflected in our records, such notice will be sufficient. The notice will ask for your consent to use your personal information in a manner different from our original processing. If you do not consent, then we will not process your personal information beyond the purposes for which you have already consented.
INFORMATION SHARING
Our services are possible because of a variety of third parties and service providers. Sometimes it is necessary to share personal information with them to support our services. We also may share your information in the following circumstances:
To conduct background checks and other necessary pre-employment activities for job applicants;
To consider you for work opportunities on projects that we currently work or propose to work;
To review recruiting resources;
To process services which may benefit you as an employee such as providing employee benefits, employee travel assistance, employee expense report processing, or compensation program analysis;
To respond to lawful court orders, subpoenas, warrants, or other requests by public authorities, or as otherwise required by law; and
As part of a partial or total assignment of assets or other corporate change, including a potential merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control.
Your information may be disclosed to AMERICAN SYSTEMS’ domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Your information also may be transferred to a third party for the purposes of data back-up, consolidation, storage, and simplified customer management. As part of any data transmission, your information may be transferred across state and country borders.
If we learn your personal information is not protected according to our contract, or is being processed beyond your consent, we will take reasonable steps to protect your information and/or cease its illegitimate processing.
LinkedIn Conversion Tracking and Insight Tag
The LinkedIn Insight Tag is a piece of lightweight JavaScript code that we have added to our websites to enable in-depth campaign reporting and to help us unlock valuable insights about our website visitors. We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to track conversions, retarget website visitors, and unlock additional insights about members interacting with our LinkedIn advertisements.
The LinkedIn Insight Tag enables the collection of metadata such as IP address information, timestamp, and events such as page views. All data is encrypted. The LinkedIn browser cookie is stored in a visitor's browser until the visitor deletes the cookie or the cookie expires (there’s a rolling six-month expiration from the last time the visitor’s browser loaded the Insight Tag).
You can opt out of cookies from LinkedIn on your LinkedIn settings page. It is recommended that you read the LinkedIn Cookie Policy for more information.
INFORMATION PROTECTION
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that the personally identifiable information we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy. We maintain administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to provide reasonable protection for your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, and misuse. These security measures include access controls, encryption, secure configurations, website certificates, firewalls, endpoint protection software, device sanitization measures, and network monitoring tools.
While we are dedicated to securing our Site and services, you are responsible for securing and maintaining the privacy of your password(s) and account information. We are not responsible for protecting personal information that you have shared with a third party, including using the same password at our Site and at other sites.
