Each vendor is vetted and bound by contractual obligations that are at least as stringent as this Privacy Policy. These vendors have their own privacy and data collection practices which are independent of us. We are not responsible or liable for these independent practices, policies or actions. You should carefully review their privacy policies and other conditions of use:

The personal information we collect and use are transferred to and/or maintained on computers or servers located at our headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States of America.

Any data transfers of personal information from people located within the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK) or Canada will be protected as required and according to each country or province's respective data privacy laws, regulations and guidelines.

How long will we keep your personal information

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill our purposes, or to comply with legal, regulatory, contractual, or internal policy requirements. To help us do this, we apply criteria to determine the appropriate periods for retaining your personal information depending on its purpose, such as proper account maintenance, facilitating client relationships, administering our Services, and responding to legal claims or regulatory requests . For instance, we will retain your personal information as long as there is an active order or ongoing contract for our Services with you, your employer or prospective employer; you have an active account with us; as needed to verify and/or respond to your requests; to perform diagnostics and maintain security of the Website and Services.

Confidentiality, Security, and Integrity

We employ appropriate measures to protect your personal information and require employees who have access to this information to follow standards of security and confidentiality required by or consistent with industry practice. We maintain physical, technological, and procedural safeguards to ensure the integrity of your personal information, including but not limited to encryption, partitioning, and password-protected access on a need-to-know basis. Our concern for your privacy extends to our Website as well. Clients accessing their account information online are doing so on a secure site utilizing data encryption and usernames and passwords.
