TYPE AND USES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU:

Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) Generally, you can visit our Site without revealing any personal information about yourself. At times, though, we may need information about you. Unless otherwise indicated, the information we request is optional.

At these places, we may ask you to give us contact information (like name, title, email address, phone number, nearest store, social security number, birthday, company name, and address, along with answers to questions topical to the web form and an ability to state additional information).

When you submit an inquiry about a job at the Rixmann Companies through our Site, we may ask for information such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, career selection, nearest store, and a brief description of your related work experience with an option to upload your resume.

If we receive similar questions from other users, we may post the most frequently asked questions on our site under a “Q & A” section. The question we post may be similar to, or the same as, the question you submitted, but we will not identify you (or anyone else) as the questioner.

In other areas of our Site we may ask for your email address and solicit information about the Rixmann Company products you enjoy most, other products you might enjoy, and similar questions in order to create convenience for the consumer to activate preference features or enrollment opportunities.
