Your Privacy
foodjobs.com respects your privacy. Our goal is to be your trusted, objective
source of information for the business of farming and ranching. We want you to make
the most of our services and feel confident while doing so online. We have a clear
privacy policy: we collect no private, personal information unless you voluntarily
supply it. This privacy statement explains under what circumstances we gather your
individually identifiable information, how we use it, and who may access that information.
It also provides you the means to "opt-out" of providing personal information that
you do not wish to provide and to access, change, or remove any identifying information
already collected.
We believe that your privacy is of the utmost importance, which is why this statement
regarding privacy of personally identifiable information provided online conforms
to the Federal Trade Commission's fair information practices of notice, choice,
access, and security. We hope that you will provide comments on how we can improve
our privacy policy so that we may better accommodate your needs. Please provide
any comments to feedback@foodjobs.com
Please note that this privacy policy applies only to the foodjobs.com web site,
and specifically does not apply to other companies' or organizations' web sites
to which we link. We have attempted to mark each of our web pages with the foodjobs.com
trademark so you will always know where this policy applies.
