About JVKelly Group

JVKelly Group considers itself to be a steward of the information that we collect, manage and provide. It is our responsibility to safeguard the information within our care and we are committed to managing our data in a secure and responsible manner. We provide products and services based on information about businesses. Our information management practices are guided by our Global Privacy Principles, which serve as the foundation of our data management policies and practices. These Principles commit us to the following tenets:

Notice: JVKelly Group informs users and customers how we collect, use, manage and share information.

Data Quality: JVKelly Group employs substantive measures to produce high-quality, timely and reliable data, including direct contact with businesses and quality assurance procedures during data collection and processing.

Use & Disclosure: JVKelly Group uses and discloses data in accordance with defined policies that respect a business's and business professional’s choice to restrict the marketing use of their contact information.

Our approach to information management and Data Privacy enables us to adapt and respond to these changes while remaining committed to our Principles. The free flow of information must be fairly balanced against privacy and data protection interests, and JVKelly Group is committed to employing such a balance.

This online privacy notice describes the Data Privacy practices that are applicable to the following U.S. JVKelly Group websites: www.jvkg.com, solutions.jvkg.com, www.jvkellygroup.com, www.e3sourcing.com, and portal.jvkg.com. These sites may provide links to other U.S. JVKelly Group websites, non-U.S. JVKelly Group websites and non-JVKelly Group websites that may employ different information management practices. We encourage you to carefully read the online privacy notices of these other websites to ensure that you understand their practices and the relevant distinctions.

What Information Do We Collect?

JVKelly Group collects information from businesses and business professionals. We collect identifiable business information from website visitors when they register for a newsletter or e-mail alert, complete a survey, or register for podcasts, whitepapers or webinars online.

We also collect information about website visitors indirectly through standard web logs, such as IP addresses, browser types (e.g. Internet Explorer), areas of the website that are visited and the website from which a visitor came. We routinely use this web log information in the aggregate in order to administer and improve our website. While some of this data may be traceable to an individual, we only seek to identify individuals whom we believe are using our website for improper purposes.

You Have Choices

JVKelly Group respects your privacy preferences and offers the following ways through which you may control how we contact you and disclose your information. We will honor your requests accordingly.

JVKelly Group E-mail Marketing: We provide individuals with the opportunity to opt out of receiving JVKelly Group promotional e-mails and updates about new JVKelly Group products and services. We may continue to send you transactional or service-related e-mails despite your desire to not receive promotional or marketing e-mail messages.

Website Use Information: You have additional choices regarding website use information that our third party advertisers and partners may collect or receive through the employment of cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, clear GIF’s and other similar media. Please see the "Third Party Advertisers" section below for more information.

If you have a question regarding JVKelly Group’s products, services or information management practices, if you would like to contact us or if you would like to provide us with your valued feedback, please visit the JVKelly Group Contact for additional information.

Cookies, Web Beacons, Pixel Tags and GIF’s

We design the layout and features of our website so that new visitors may anonymously learn about our products and services without revealing their identities. For new visitors, we use cookies or Web beacons to collect limited data, such as the date, time and areas of our website that are visited, as well as the website from which the new visitor came. When you select one of our products or services, register for a newsletter or e-mail alert, or complete a survey, we may try to identify your browser and we may combine information from cookies, Web beacons and other information collected online with other data that we maintain about you. By improving the features, marketing and content of our website and by making your online experience more convenient and meaningful, we are able to better serve our customers' needs.

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer's hard drive and that often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that website’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this text file in a section of your hard drive that is specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it. Your browser will only permit a website to access the cookies that it has previously sent to you and not the cookies sent to you by other websites. Some of our business partners, such as third party advertisers, use cookies that originate from their websites. We have no access to, or control over, these cookies. For more information, please see the "Third Party Advertisers" section below. We use cookies to store login or other information on your computer, which serves to improve our website functionality and tailor our services to your preferences and interests. For certain services, we offer users the ability to store a user ID or password within a cookie so that they do not need to re-enter it when they subsequently return to our website. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server’s log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our website and to assess which parts of the site are most popular. This information helps us to constantly improve our website and better serve our customers. We do not store credit/debit card numbers in cookies. Most Internet browsers allow users to decide whether to accept cookies and how long to keep them on their hard drive. You may reset your browser to refuse cookies and still use our website, although website access and functionality may be slower and less convenient.

A Web beacon is a graphic image, such as a pixel tag or clear GIF, which is placed on a Web page or in an e-mail message to monitor user activity, such as whether the Web page or e-mail message is accessed or clicked. They are often invisible because they are very small in size. They are also used on many Web pages for alignment purposes. We sometimes use Web beacons to provide an independent accounting of how many people visit our website or to gather statistics about browser usage on our website. Some of our Web pages and HTML-formatted e-mail newsletters use Web beacons in conjunction with cookies. It is difficult for you to limit the use of Web beacons because there is no easy way to distinguish their use from alignment and other purposes. Web beacons may also be loaded from a different Web server than the rest of the page.

Data Security

JVKelly Group maintains adequate data security measures to protect information against unauthorized access and disclosure. These measures include the implementation of commercially reasonable technical, physical and administrative data security safeguards. JVKelly Group requires employees to complete appropriate training on data management and security practices. JVKelly Group also manages a service provider due diligence and oversight program to ensure that our vendors likewise employ adequate data collection, processing, transfer, management and security measures in carrying out their services on our behalf.

There is no such thing as "guaranteed security", whether conducting business online or offline. Having established this fact, JVKelly Group employs commercially reasonable and appropriate data security safeguards that are consistent with our business operations and generally accepted industry standards.

Data security is our priority and we commit ourselves to safeguarding our customers’ data. We do this by:

  • Establishing policies and procedures for securely managing information;
  • Limiting employee access to sensitive information;
  • Protecting against unauthorized access to customer data by using data encryption, authentication and virus detection technology, as required;
  • Requiring service providers with whom we do business to comply with relevant Data Privacy legal and regulatory requirements;
  • Monitoring our websites through recognized online privacy and security organizations;
  • Conducting background checks on employees and providing Data Privacy training to our team members; and
  • Continually assessing our Data Privacy, information management and data security practices.

Changes to JVKelly Group's Data Privacy Practices

If we make material changes to our information management and Data Privacy practices, we will post these changes on our website in order to keep you informed of how we collect, use, manage, disclose and protect our information assets. Such changes will be posted in this section of our online privacy notice and the policy effective date will be updated accordingly.

Your Use of Our Website Is Consent
