Note: Information submitted via this site will not be transmitted to any third parties nor will it be stored on any server operated by Career InfoNet or any affiliated organization. Career InfoNet assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of results from any calculations on this site or for information provided by outside parties.

Thank you for visiting the America's Career InfoNet web site and reviewing our privacy policy. Our privacy policy is clear: we will collect no personal information about you when you visit our web site unless you choose to provide that information to us nor will we share that information with any other party except as discussed below.

There are four main sections of our privacy policy: Information Collected and Stored Automatically; Information Collected from e-mails; Security, Intrusion, and Detection Issues; and Links to Other Sites.

Information Collected and Stored Automatically
While you browse through our web site, read pages, or download information, we gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. We only automatically collect and store the following information about visits made to our web site:

1. The IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which our web site is accessed;
2. The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
3. The date and time our site is accessed;
4. The pages visited; and
5. If the Career InfoNet web site is visited from another web site, the address of that web site.

We aggregate this information and use it to help us make our site more useful to visitors -- to learn about the number of visitors to our site, to determine those portions of our site which are of greatest interest to our users, and to learn about the types of technology our visitors use.

Use of Cookies
Certain CareerOneStop, America's Career InfoNet, and America's Service Locator Web pages use temporary 'cookies,' which are small amounts of information stored by your Web browser software on your workstation. In all cases, this information is temporary in nature (called 'session cookies') and is deleted as soon as you close your Web browser. None of the information collected is personally identifiable. The use of temporary cookies is solely for the purpose of allowing you to interact with our Web sites in an effective manner, for example, by storing your occupation or location selections so you don't need to enter them repeatedly as you move among the sites or between tools.

Information Collected from e-mails
All e-mail information provided to Career InfoNet (as a part of a mailing list or as feedback to the Service Center) is only used for the provided purpose. We do not share our e-mail with any other organizations, unless we are required to as part of a law enforcement investigation.

Security, Intrusion, and Detection Issues
For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, this government computer system employs software programs that monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no other attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits. Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change information on this service are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act.

Links to Other Sites
Our web site has links to other federal agencies and private organizations. When you link to another site, you are no longer on our site and are subject to the privacy policy of the new site.

Disclaimer
This Web site was created to support public access to career and occupational information. The information was created and is maintained by other public and private organizations and is the responsibility of these organizations. The accuracy of the information for individual occupations is subject to error because of the many factors that affect the economy over time. While occupational projections and related job outlook information can provide valuable inputs to the career decision-making process, they should not be the sole basis of a career choice.

Further, the inclusion of links to particular items or sites is not intended to reflect their importance, nor is it intended to endorse any views expressed or products or services offered by the author of the reference or the organization operating the server on which the reference is maintained.
