Bernhardt Furniture Company (“Bernhardt Furniture,” “we,” “our” or “us”) operates the website that links to this Privacy Policy (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy applies to information collected by or on behalf of Bernhardt Furniture through the Site. This Privacy Policy discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for the Site and your rights and choices with regard to information we collect.

What personal information do we collect and how do we collect it?

“Personal information” is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person. When you visit or interact with the Site , you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you voluntarily submit, and information that we automatically collect as you browse the Site.

1) Information You Voluntarily Submit.

We collect and store any information you enter on the Site. We collect information from you when you complete and submit a job application. The categories of personal information we ask you provide in the application include name, address, phone number (home or mobile), email address, whether you are older than 18 years old, U.S. work authorization status, criminal history, education history and employment history. By providing references, you represent that you have all necessary permission to share the reference contact information with us and it is, to the best of your knowledge, complete and accurate.

2) Information Collected and Stored Automatically and Technologies We Use to Collect It.

When you browse the Site, you and your Web browser may also transmit information that we automatically collect. We may log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer), the Web pages you visit and the time of your visit, click path taken through the Site, and your usage of features on the Site. Other information automatically provided to us by your Web browser is the type of computer, operating system and browser you are using. This information helps us manage, improve and customize the Site.
This information (also called “traffic data”) is generally non-identifying, but if we associate it with you as an identifiable person, we will treat it as personal information.
Technologies we use on the Site to collect traffic data, directly or through our service providers, may include cookies (data files placed on your computer or other devices used to access the Site), analytics software and pixel tags (transparent graphic image, sometimes called a web beacon or tracking beacon, placed on a web page or in an email, which indicates that a page or email has been viewed). We, or our service providers, may place cookies or similar files on your computer or other devices used to access the Site for security purposes, to facilitate Site navigation and to personalize your experience while visiting the Site. The Site also uses analytics tools such as Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how you use the Site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site will be transmitted to and stored by Google in aggregate form. Google collects the number of users, session statistics, approximate geolocation, and browser and device information. You can learn more about Google Analytics data collection at the following website. Google uses this aggregated information on our behalf in order to evaluate use of the Site, compile reports on Site activity and other services relating to Site activity and usage. You can learn more about Google Analytics and how to opt out here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. To learn how you may be able to reduce the number of cookies you receive from us, or delete cookies that have already been installed in your browser’s cookie folder, please refer to your browser’s help menu or other instructions related to your browser. If you do disable or opt out of receiving cookies, please be aware that some features and services on the Site may not work as intended and you may not have access to all of the services and features we may offer.

3) Information from Other Sources.

We may also receive information from other sources, such as a third-party recruiting service. For example, if you have contacted a third-party recruiter and provided your information to the third-party recruiter, we may receive that information from the third-party recruiter.

Usage of Your Personal Information

In general, we use the personal information you provide for recruitment purposes, including to evaluate job applications, arrange interviews, placing your information in our talent pool for future job opportunities, and to do all things necessary in our talent management process.

Sharing of Your Information

We may share your personal information and other information we collect with affiliates or service providers that require access to your personal information for our recruitment or talent management purposes. We may disclose your personal information to third parties to protect the security and integrity of the Site, to correct technical problems and malfunctions on the Site, to technically process your information or to take precautions against liability. If you visit or interact with the Site via a mobile device, your activities on the Site and personal information collected through the Site will be transmitted via your mobile carrier’s network and your carrier may have access to it. Consult your carrier’s privacy policy for additional information.

We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in connection with a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of assets, reorganization or liquidation of our business. We reserve the right to disclose any personal information as needed if that information is requested by law enforcement agencies or if we are required to do so by law, treaty, regulation, subpoena, court order, or by a government entity. We also may disclose your personal information to third parties if we have reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to conduct investigations of possible breaches of law, to cooperate in any legal investigation, or to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating any agreement with us.

Your Choices

You can set your browser to refuse all or some cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies or block the use of other technologies, some parts of the Site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect the security of your personal information that you share with us. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from the Site, and you do so at your own risk.

Children

The Site is not intended for use by children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from such individuals. If we learn that we have collected the personal information of any such individual, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.

Do-Not-Track and Third-Party Tracking Disclosures

Some websites have “do not track” features that allow you to tell a website not to track you. These features are not all uniform. The Site does not currently respond to browser based “do not track” signals.
We do not permit third parties to collect personal information through cookies or other tools on the Site concerning your online activities over time across different websites for the third parties’ own purposes. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies but doing so may prevent you from accessing all functionality of the Site.

Third-Party Links

We may provide links on the Site to third-party websites. These websites are independent from Bernhardt Furniture Company and have their own separate privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such third-party websites. Whenever you click on links on the Site that take you to a third-party website, you will be subject to the third party’s privacy policies. We recommend that you review the third-parties’ privacy polices before you visit these websites.

Notice to Users Outside the United States

We are based in the United States. Personal information may be accessed by us or transferred to us in the United States or to our corporate affiliates, business partners, or service providers elsewhere in the world. If you are located outside of the United States, be advised that any information you provide to us will be transferred to and stored in the United States and that, by submitting information to us, you explicitly authorize its transfer and storage within the United States. We will protect the privacy and security of personal information according to this Privacy Policy and the laws of the United States regardless of where it is processed or stored.
