This notice applies where we process personal data through our sites, social media properties, through pre-contractual activities, during events, through surveys, or in any other interactions with you outside of your use of the Offerings.
Personal Data We Collect
We may collect personal data directly from you, from third parties or publicly available data, or automatically when you use the Sites through the use of technologies such as electronic communication protocols, cookies, widget buttons, or tools. We collect this personal data for the purposes outlined below in “How We Use Personal Data.” This personal data is not Customer Content.
How We Use Personal Data
We will only use your personal data if we have a lawful basis to do so. Specifically, we use your personal data at your instruction or as follows:
Providing and Personalizing our Sites. To operate and administer the Sites and to provide you with the content you choose to access or request; to tailor web content we display to you in order to offer location customization (e.g., setting a default language) and to otherwise personalize your experience using the Sites. We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to automatically collect your personal data for this purpose.
Personalizing Events. To tailor event invitations we send or display to you in order to offer location customization (e.g., local event offerings). We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to automatically collect your personal data for this purpose.

Displaying, Measuring Personalized Advertisements. To provide more relevant advertising to you on the Sites or third party platforms, or to conduct related marketing research (e.g., by measuring the success of targeted advertising campaigns). We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to automatically collect your personal data for this purpose.
Managing Event Registrations and Contests. To plan and host events or webinars you’ve registered for or attend (including sending related communications to you), and to provide contests, promotions, and sweepstakes you’ve chosen to participate in or register for. Please note, contests may have additional rules relating to how we process your personal data.
Analytics and Improvement. To better understand how you access and use the Sites and Offerings, and for other research and analytical purposes, such as to evaluate and optimize the Sites and to develop additional services, content, and features (e.g., if you choose to participate in a survey or user-interface study, we may use your email address to reach out with follow-up questions or additional studies).
Protect Legal Rights and Prevent Misuse. To protect the Sites, Offerings, and the rights of users and other individuals; to prevent unauthorized access and other misuse; and where we believe necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, or violations of our terms of use or this notice. We may use machine or deep learning technologies for these purposes (e.g., for fraud prevention or detection).
Comply with Legal Obligations. To comply with the law or legal proceedings (e.g., we may disclose data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including responding to national security or law enforcement requests).
General Business Operations. Where necessary to the administration of our general business, accounting, record-keeping, and legal functions.
How We Share Personal Data
We will not sell your personal data to a third party or allow a third party to use the personal data we provide for its own marketing purposes. We may share information about you with your consent, at your request, or as follows:
To Our Service Providers. We use third party service providers to process your personal data to assist us in business and technical operations. CareerSource Pinellas has data processing agreements with such service providers limiting their use of and access to personal data to specific purposes. They provide services relating, but not limited to fraud detection and prevention, billing, customer support, internet and connectivity, marketing (through direct mail, email, lead generation, etc.), event organizing, security, and user experience.
To Infrastructure Processors. We use third parties for some of the infrastructure used to host content and personal data we process, including cloud providers. CareerSource Pinellas has data processing agreements with such service providers and their use of and access to personal data is limited to specific purposes.
To Affiliates. We may share your personal data with our affiliates for our or our affiliates’ internal business purposes (e.g., when you use or purchase an affiliate’s services, when you apply to one of our global offices, etc.), marketing similar products (including lead generation and qualification purposes), or for other legal requirements.
As Custom Audiences. We may share a hashed (scrambled) version of your email address, name, city, state, or similar information with advertising partners to assist us in reaching you with more relevant advertisements outside of the Sites (and to measure the success of such campaigns). These partners are not permitted to retain, use, or disclose this information for their own third-party marketing purposes.
As Required by Law. We may disclose information about you if we believe we must do so to comply with the law or a subpoena, bankruptcy proceeding, or similar legal process. In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
To Protect Rights. We may disclose information about you, such as your name, contact information, and billing information, to enforce our agreements with you or to protect the rights and safety of CareerSource Pinellas, our customers, our users, and the general public, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
As Aggregate and Anonymized Information. We may share aggregate or anonymized information about you with our third party service providers for our internal business purposes which may include marketing, advertising, research, or similar purposes.
In a Business Transaction. If CareerSource Pinellas is involved in a dissolution, reorganization, financing, public offering of securities, merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your information may be transferred to providers, advisors, accountants, attorneys, the acquiring entity, or other third parties as part of the transaction (provided that we inform such individuals that they must use your personal data only for the purposes disclosed in this notice), and may also be reviewed as part of the due diligence review for the transaction (e.g., we may need to provide a list of all customer accounts and payment histories).
Blogs; Forums; Testimonials
Our Sites may contain publicly accessible blogs and interactive features (e.g., the community website). Any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them. To request removal of your information from our blog or community forum, please complete this form. With your consent, we may publish testimonials you share with us, which could contain personal data such as your full name and other information you choose to share. Please note, information posted on these Sites may continue to be publicly available to others after termination or deactivation of your account with CareerSource Pinellas.
Linked Sites; Third Party Widgets
Links to Other Websites. Our Sites may include links to other websites with privacy practices that may differ from ours. Any information you submit to a website not belonging to CareerSource Pinellas is governed by that site’s privacy statement, not this one.
Plugins and Social Media Widgets. Our Sites may include social media features and widgets (“widgets”), such as a “share this” button or other interactive mini-programs. Widgets can be used to provide you specific services from other companies (e.g., displaying the news, opinions, music, etc.). Personal data such as your email address may be collected through widgets. Cookies may also be set by widgets to enable them to function properly. Widgets displayed on our Sites are not hosted by CareerSource Pinellas, and are therefore subject to the privacy policies of the third party company providing the widget rather than this notice.
