Privacy Policy

SCG The Select Carrier Group, L.P., and its affiliated companies (referred to together as "SCG", "we" or "us") are firmly committed in preserving the privacy of user information received through our web site. This Web Site Privacy Statement ("Privacy Statement") is to inform the user about the type of personal information collected on our web site and how such information is used.


SCG's Web Site Privacy Statement covers the following topics:

Information Collection & Use

Privacy centers on information that can be associated with a particular individual. This information is often referred to as personally identifiable information ("Personal Information"). In general, you can visit our web site without a user Login ID and without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself. Our web site collects Personal Information from you if you choose to provide this information to us. This may include your name, title, company, address, phone, e-mail, resume information or any information you choose to provide to us through forms on our web site.

Some of the types of information we collect online without a user Login ID includes registering as a guest of SCG, registering with SCG to receive information about our company or registering to receive e-mail alerts of news and other information regarding SCG.

There are some of our web sites that require a user Login ID and password which includes applying for a job at SCG, registering on SCG's customer tracking system or as an SCG employee accessing their own benefit information. The customer tracking system utilizes "cookies" as a means of identifying returning users; for further information see the "Use of Cookies" section in this Privacy Statement.

For each visitor to our web site, our web server automatically recognizes the visitor's IP address and related information for purposes of system administration. An IP address is a unique number assigned to each computer when connected to the internet which assists with identification of the computer. Capturing this information helps us to diagnose problems with our web site server and to maintain and improve our web site performance.

Disclosure

Your Personal Information is only disclosed to third parties when you submit your information with authorization. This may include, but is not limited to, third parties that provide pre-employment or pre-contract type services. We will not disclose your information to any other third parties without your authorization, unless required by law enforcement action or if required by a judicial or governmental order or subpoena.

Website Links

SCG's web site contains links to other web sites. SCG is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites. Occasionally we give our registered users the opportunity to participate in online surveys. These surveys may ask visitors for contact information (such as their e-mail address.) We may use contact data from our surveys to send the user information about our company. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; refer to the "Choices/Options" section of this Privacy Statement regarding opt-out.

We strictly limit worker (i.e., employees, agents, or contractors) access to Personal Information by giving our workers only the necessary access to carry out their job responsibilities. SCG periodically audits for compliance and updates its security measures in an effort to provide appropriate security for all information held by SCG.

Data Retention

Information collected for a specified purpose will only be used for that purpose and, after a reasonable period of time, will no longer be actively stored when that purpose has been fulfilled.
