GDA is committed to safeguarding the privacy of the Users of its Web site. This Privacy Policy sets forth GDA’s policies regarding the collection and treatment of personally identifiable information.

“Site” refers to this Internet Web site (www.gdatech.com) and other GDA Web sites linked to this Site. The Site acts as a venue for delivery of GDA applications (listed here by way of example only) for 1) individuals currently working with GDA (i.e., “active Users”) to interact with GDA’s database and enter timecards, create and manage their GDA Profiles, check benefits information, view schedules and assignment information, and process other information; 2) GDA to process orders, send newsletters, perform customer service; qualify candidates for possible employment; 3) GDA’s clients to search portfolios, run financial reports, sign timecards; and 4) members of the public to receive marketing campaigns and inquiries.

What personally identifiable information is collected on the Site?
In the course of its registration process, GDA collects certain personally identifiable information. Personally identifiable information is information that can be traced back to a single User. Names, physical addresses, and e-mail addresses are examples of personally identifiable information.

Certain additional information is also collected in an aggregate form and used solely in connection with improving the performance and responsiveness of our services and Web site. This information includes a User’s originating domain, time of visit, connection speed, domain names, and Internet service provider. This information is not personally identifiable information and there is no attempt to correlate such information to an individual User.

How is the information collected and maintained?
Any personally identifiable information collected by GDA is provided directly by Users in the course of the registration process or in connection with updating such information. Such information is password protected. Active Users can contact GDA to update the content and accuracy of their personally identifiable information; however, GDA may retain in backup or inactive files the uncorrected or outdated form of data that is corrected or updated. Such data may be retained for several reasons, including backups for disaster recovery planning, dispute resolution purposes, troubleshooting, and enforcement of agreements. GDA reserves the right to correct personally identifiable data to make it current and consistent with data directly input by Users, for example, when the User updates his/her address on his/her resume but not elsewhere.

This Site and all information collected through this Site is collected, stored, and processed in the United States. If Users are located outside of the United States, User information will be transferred to the United States and to countries in such other regions where the User indicated he/she would like to be considered for an assignment.

How can Users Opt Out?
Users may opt out by terminating their use of the site.

Is the information shared and/or transferred?
Personally identifiable information will not be transferred or sold to third parties. Third parties are defined here as entities not related to GDA or its Web site. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, GDA’s clients are considered Users, and entities with which GDA partners for special projects or initiatives are provided with the minimum amount of information needed for the purpose of accomplishing their tasks. For example, e-mail addresses may be provided to mail processing firms as part of programs intended to promote GDA. Information regarding the professional background of individual registrants or on-line applicants may be shared with clients who may consider utilizing such individuals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GDA will divulge personally identifiable information to law enforcement agencies or other governmental agencies when required to do so or when GDA in good faith believes it is necessary in order to comply with legal obligations. In addition, in the event that GDA or substantially all of its assets are acquired or merged into another entity, personally identifiable information may be transferred to the successor in interest.

Is the Site connected to other Web sites by links?
GDA may provide links to the Web sites of a limited number of third parties. In addition, clients and providers may also provide links to their Web sites. GDA is not responsible for the content, reliability, security, or privacy practices of these Web sites. This Privacy Policy applies solely to this Site.

How are Users notified of changes in the Policy?
From time to time, GDA may update this Privacy Policy by posting a revised Policy on this Web page with date of most recent update visible. GDA also will post a Policy update notice on the Site’s home page. Changes to the Policy will take effect upon posting. Users who are unwilling to accept such changes may “opt out” by terminating their usage of the site.
