Privacy Statement

We respect your privacy and we have developed the following policy to demonstrate our commitment to you. This privacy policy applies to personally identifiable information we collect about you on our website located at nextiercompanies.com (Site) and describes the types of information collected, how that information is used, and the choices users have about collection and use of this information.

Information We Collect
Although much of the Site is available without registration or providing personal information, in order to take advantage of some of our Site’s features, you will be asked to provide personal information. This personal information is provided voluntarily by the user in order to participate or register for a particular product or service, or when you otherwise communicate with us or the Site. Personal information will be collected at various pages on the Site, including:

• submitting an online business inquiry
• creating an account to search for job opportunities

We clearly identify data you must provide so we can deliver the services or information you request. This data may include, but is not limited to, your name, mailing address, phone number, and email address. Providing this information is optional, but failure to do so in some cases will limit the services available to you.

In addition, our web servers automatically collect and log web usage data from you when you visit the Site. This information, including your IP address, referring sites, pages viewed, and length of visit, informs us about how visitors use and navigate the Site.

How We Use and Share the Information Collected
We may combine the personally identifiable information you provide NexTier with other information that is available to us, including information submitted by users to us offline and information collected from other third parties. We do not rent or sell your personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties without your consent, but we may use your information to, among other things:

• provide the product, information, or service requested or otherwise respond to your inquiries,
• improve the content, navigation, and efficiency of the Site,
• target, personalize, and develop our products and services to meet your individual interests and needs,
• make you aware of other benefits, products, services or events offered by us that may interest you,
• enforce our Terms of Use and otherwise prevent illegal or improper activity related to the Site and
• notify you of changes to this Privacy Policy or to other policies that may affect you and your use of the Site.

In order to respond to an information request you submit through the Site, we may share your personal information with certain key partners that may be able to directly offer you a product or service you expressed interest in. We may also use third-party vendors to provide services on our behalf and to fulfill the products and services offered through our Site. We may make personal information available to these vendors only to the extent necessary for them to provide services (e.g., to host the Site or process mailings). In addition, we may disclose your information to third parties: (1) in connection with a merger, sale or consolidation of all or substantially all our assets or (2) to comply with valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court order.

We may use and share with others aggregated or anonymous (not personally identifiable) information that we have collected based on web usage data, surveys, or statistical information that we have compiled about our users.

Cookies
Like most websites, we employ cookies to help users more efficiently use the Site. A cookie is a string of information that is sent by a website and stored on a user’s hard drive. We use cookies to continually enhance your experience, and may use them to store your preferences and to customize content specific to your needs. If you do not want your browser to accept cookies, you can modify the cookie option in your browser’s settings. However, some Site features or services may not function properly or be accessible without cookies.

Choice
If you would prefer not to receive marketing or other promotional communications from us, please notify us of your preferences. You may always choose to not receive our marketing emails by following instructions found at the bottom of emails you receive from us. You may also change your preferences regarding the types of communications you receive from us by emailing us at privacystatement@nextiercompanies.com.

Security
We have implemented commercially reasonable technical, administrative and physical security measures to protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized access, modification or use. We periodically review and update security measures in light of current technologies. Please note, that despite our efforts, no security measures are completely secure.

Children
The Site is not directed towards children under 13 years of age, nor do we knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13.

Links
Our Site may contain links to other sites. Links do not imply endorsement by us. Please be aware that these other sites are not subject to the NexTier privacy policy and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of those sites when you visit them.

Reviewing and Correcting Your Information
We try to keep information about you accurate and current. Certain services available on the Site allow you to create an online account. If you create such an account, you may review and update your personal information associated with that account at any time, by logging in to your account and reviewing your profile. For all other personal information, should you wish to access, update, or correct your personal information, please contact us as set forth in the “How to Contact Us” section below. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before we disclose or make any corrections to this information.

Changes to this Privacy Policy
We will occasionally update this privacy policy. When we do, we will also revise the “last updated” date at the top of the privacy policy. For material changes, we will notify you either by email or by placing a prominent notice on our Site. Please check the Site from time to time for the most current version of our privacy policy. Your continued use of the Site after we have notified you of changes as described above constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
