EGE respects privacy rights, and is committed to safeguarding the Personal Information entrusted to us by our clients and visitors to the Website. EGE has implemented this Privacy Policy to govern the use of Personal Information that we collect through the Website, including Personal Information you send to us. This Privacy Policy does not govern Personal Information collected from any other source or in any other manner. This Privacy Policy is intended to provide you with information as to: (i) the type of information that is collected; (ii) how the collected information is used and with whom it is shared; (iii) how we intend to protect the information; and (iv) how you can access such information and have it modified and/or removed.
This Privacy Policy may be changed from time to time, and we reserve the right to make changes without prior individual notice. Such changes are effective upon publication of the revised Privacy Policy. Please review this Privacy Policy often so that you will remain abreast of EGE’s current policies, including its policies concerning the gathering and use of information that may be collected on the EGE Websites.

Under California law, California residents who have provided personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) to a company may have the right to request the categories of Personal Information and the specific pieces of Personal Information that the company has collected from you. California residents also may have the right to request a list of all third parties to whom that company has disclosed and/or sold such information for the third parties’ business purposes during the preceding calendar year, along with a list of the categories of Personal Information that has been so disclosed and/or sold. EGE does not share users’ Personal Information, including but not limited to e-mail addresses, with third parties for marketing or other purposes, unless EGE first obtains your consent. If you are a California resident who would like information on how to exercise your rights concerning third party disclosures under California law, you may send an email to info@theelliotgroup.com. For avoidance of doubt, this provision is made applicable to all users of the EGE Website who want to request information about the Company’s use of their Personal Information, whether or not such user resides in California.
Personal Information is information that uniquely identifies you, such as your name, address, email address, and telephone number. When you visit the Website and/or request information, make an inquiry, provide EGE with your resume, or otherwise contact EGE through the Website, EGE will collect your Personal Information. EGE maintains your Personal Information on databases it owns and/or controls and does not share that information with third parties without your consent. For example, when you provide your resume to EGE through the Website, that resume is uploaded and stored on EGE’s databases, but is accessible only to EGE and is not disclosed or disseminated outside of EGE unless you have consented to its disclosure.
To the best of our abilities, EGE implements technical and logical controls to maintain the privacy of information shared with us. Upon the close of a specific search, we scrub any personally identifiable information, unless the candidate provides their consent to remain in our database.

IP addresses may also be used to help diagnose problems with the Website and to gather broad demographic information.
