We at ThinkingAhead respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how ThinkingAhead may collect and use the personal information which you provide to us on our web sites, via email communication, and/or through direct conversations with our recruiters.

This Privacy Policy describes the information we may collect from you, the manner in which we may use such information, and how we protect it. We may modify or supplement this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting those changes on this page. Any changes will become effective as of the date of posting. Please review this Privacy Policy often so you are always fully informed of any changes. We have tried to keep this policy as simple as possible; however, if you are not familiar with terms like “cookies”, “IP addresses”, “tags”, “browsers”, etc., then you may want to read about these key terms first. Your privacy matters to ThinkingAhead; thus, whether you are new to ThinkingAhead or a long time candidate or client, please do take the time to get to know our practices. If you have any questions, please contact us as directed below.

 

Collection and Retention of Information
When you visit us, whether to request services or simply to become better acquainted with ThinkingAhead’s various offerings, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself, including your name, email address, and phone number, and your resume (which contains a significant number of personally identifiable information). We (or qualified contractors/vendors on our behalf) may automatically collect some non-personally identifiable computer information regarding your use of our web sites, such as the type of computer operating system you are using (such as Windows 10, Mac OS, etc.) and web browser that you are using (such as Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.), as well as information regarding your Internet service provider, IP address, and the frequency with which you visit various parts of our web sites.

We may use cookies to identify you when you visit us and to keep track of where you go so we can provide you with more personalized service by way of our web sites. A “cookie” is a small piece of information that we may place in your computer browser to collect information regarding your preferences. Cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information. You can use your browser settings to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. If you turn off cookies, you will not have access to some of the features on our web sites, and some of our services may not function properly.

We may also request your username and email address if you submit a form through the “Contact Us” portion of our web site so that we may respond to the inquiry. We collect the name, email address, and email content for the sole purpose of responding directly on a onetime basis to a specific inquiry. We may retain this information for customer service purposes.

When you have interest in our services and request ThinkingAhead engage with you, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself to facilitate these services. This information may include your first and last name, e-mail address, mailing address, telephone number, job history, as well as other pertinent personally-identifiable information directly related to fulfilling the required service.

ThinkingAhead may, from time to time, offer forums or the ability to comment through some of our web sites. If you post personally identifiable information on a forum, you should be aware that such information could be read, collected or used by other users. We are not responsible for any personally identifiable information you choose to publish through such forums.

We may disclose information where we are required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we also may disclose personally identifiable information in response to a law enforcement agency’s request or if we feel that such disclosure may prevent the instigation of a crime, facilitate an investigation related to public safety, protect the security or integrity of our web site(s) and networks, and/or enable us to take precautions against liability, misuse or unauthorized use.

If we sell all or part of our business or make a sale or transfer of our assets or are otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, we may transfer personally identifiable information to a third party as part of that transaction, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and your use of our web site(s) pursuant to this Privacy Policy evidences your consent thereto.

If you do not want any such updates, either by email or text, simply opt out of those communications by sending an email to that effect to our privacy-related email address, [email protected], or, via U.S. mail, c/o Privacy Officer, ThinkingAhead, 2451 Atrium Way, Nashville, TN 37214, indicating “Privacy Opt Out” in the subject line.

Please allow us up to 21 days from the date of our receipt of your request for any such deletion to take effect.

 

Security
We at ThinkingAhead have made technical investments and implemented organizational measures in order to protect your personally-identifiable information. We limit the information we obtain to the minimum necessary in order to provide our services effectively. We also restrict access to that information by use of password protected systems. We may, within our corporate discretion, collect and store personally identifiable information using encryption technology. When employed, encryption allows you and us to input before encrypted information is sent via the Internet. We make commercially reasonable efforts intended to ensure that the personally-identifiable information we collect on our web site(s) is secured against unauthorized access. However, please be aware (as you see in the News from time to time) that no system is completely secure from hackers, governmental intrusion, network failure and error, and we cannot guarantee the confidentiality, security and integrity of information maintained on our web site(s).

In the unlikely event a data breach occurs that results in the risk for the rights and freedoms of individuals affected, ThinkingAhead will, without undue delay, notify their customers within 72 hours following first becoming aware of a data breach.
