Thank you for reviewing the Privacy Policy for HRL.com, the HRL Laboratories, LLC ("HRL") official website. HRL
is committed to and recognizes your need for protection and privacy issues on the Internet. This Privacy Policy is intended to inform users
about the general approach HRL uses in collecting, using and disseminating user information via HRL.com.
Data Collection
When you visit HRL.com, our web
server automatically recognizes your domain name, but not your e-mail
address. We collect the domain name and monitor general site use and
traffic patterns to improve our web site and the products and services
we offer. HRL uses web server logs to collect data for metric purposes.
Examples of the types of data collected on the logs are IP addresses,
referral pages, date and time of Site access, and Site visited. We
may use collected data to customize the content and/or layout of our
pages for each individual visitor.
Cookies or Tracers or Tracking Scripts
We do not use them.
Collection of Personal Information
In some cases,
HRL requests personally identifiable information from you in order
to satisfy the underlying transaction or purpose of your accessing
the Site. For example, we do have a resume collection page linked to
the specific career opportunities and jobs listed under the Employment
page of our site. Personally identifiable information include names,
e-mail addresses, mailing addresses, and the like. Please note that
we do not consider aggregated information, from which personally identifiable
information has been removed, to be private.
Security
Note that most internet browsers offer
security alerts that permit you to determine whether your transmissions
are protected. Your personally identifiable information we treat as
confidential. We do not treat your general interaction with HRL.com
(e.g., submission of suggestions) as confidential.
Disclosure
We do not rent, sell, or trade any personally
identifiable information about you (e.g., e-mail addresses) to third
parties. HRL may disclose information to third parties assisting us
in processing a transaction requested by you (e.g., resume submissions).
In order to cooperate with legitimate governmental requests, subpoenas,
or court orders, when we believe in good faith that the law requires
it, to respond to an emergency situation, to protect HRL and/or HRL's
systems and customers, to ensure the integrity and operation of HRL
and/or HRL's business and systems, or when we have reason to believe
that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact
or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to
or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our
rights or property, other web site users, or anyone else that could
be harmed by such activities, HRL may access and disclose any information
it considers necessary or appropriate under the circumstances.
Children's Privacy
HRL asks children under 13 not
to transmit any information to the Site. HRL does ot solicit or want such transmissions. HRL welcomes the parent or
guardian of a child under the age of 13 to use the Site and provide
any information, service, or product gained from the Site to their
child.
International Transmissions
If you are one
of our international guests, we realize that you may want to know
whether your personal information will be transferred out of your
country of origin. Please be aware that when you request a transaction
on the HRL Site, your personal data may be transferred to computers
in the United States in order to process your request. Further, all information on the HRL website is in the United States, eventhough accessed
from outside the United States and down-loading any information from the HRL website is a download in and from the United States.
External Links
As a convenience of our Site visitors,
HRL may provide links to third party web sites that are external to
HRL. These web sites are not operated or controlled by HRL, HRL
is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such
external web sites, and HRL does not warrant such sites for any purpose or in any way. As with our site, you should become familiar with
any external party's privacy policy when visiting that linked site.
Privacy Policy Updates
HRL may periodically revise this Privacy Policy at its discretion. The date of the policy is noted below, so you know when it was last updated. HRL
advises you to consistently check back to review the Privacy Policy because users of the Site will be prospectively bound by the then-current version
of this Privacy Policy.
