For example, this Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information we collect from prospective employees, employees or subcontractors.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this policy.

  2. “DO NOT TRACK”
    3. Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked.
