Personal Information

Generally speaking, "personal information" means information about an identifiable individual, including information such as your name, address, e-mail address, and other information, such as resume or employment-related information, that you may choose to voluntarily provide to SF by e-mail or through this website.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information you provide online is secure. However, as the security of electronic systems or e-mail cannot be guaranteed, we do not recommend sending sensitive personal information to SF electronically.

Other sites to which we provide links may be governed by different policies. SF does not assume responsibility for the content or information practices of these other websites, and we strongly encourage all web visitors to review the privacy statements and policies of all externally linked sites.

Automatic Data Collection

IP Addresses

The nature of the Internet is such that it passively and automatically collects certain information about a user’s traffic patterns linked to their Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. These are unique Internet "addresses" assigned to all web users by their Internet Service Providers (ISP).

IP addresses are automatically logged by web servers. While the IP address does not identify an individual on its face, it may, with the cooperation of the ISP, be used to locate and identify an individual using the web. In instances of criminal malfeasance, SF may share IP addresses with appropriate investigative bodies authorized to investigate breaches of security.

Server Logs

Our servers automatically log information about visits to our website in the normal course of establishing and maintaining web connections. Server logs record statistical information, such as:

  • Visitors’ IP addresses.
  • Type of operating systems.
  • Time and duration of visits.
  • Webpages requested.
  • Categories of visitors by items such as domains and browser types.

These statistics are reported in aggregate form to us and are used to improve our website and ensure that it provides the optimal web experience for visitors. We do not link server log information to any other data in a way that would enable us to identify individual visitors.

Cookies

As with many other websites, our site may make use of session and permanent "cookie" technology. Cookies are small text files that contain a unique identification number that is automatically deposited on a visitor’s computer. This information helps us determine, in the aggregate, the total number of visitors to the site on an ongoing basis and the types of Internet browsers (e.g., Chrome or Internet Explorer) and operating systems (e.g., Windows or Mac) used by our visitors. This information is used to facilitate and enhance your online visits.

We do not cross-reference the information automatically collected through "cookies" with any type of personal information that is voluntarily offered on or through this website.

The use of cookie technology is common on the Internet, and many Internet browsers are initially configured to accept cookies automatically. If you would prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your Internet browser to notify you when your computer is receiving a cookie or to refuse cookies automatically. To adjust your Internet browser’s cookie options, please refer to the instruction documentation of your particular browser or seek online assistance.

Accessing, Updating, and Deleting Personal Information

We may establish a file of your personal information for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement. SF will allow you to access, update, correct, or delete your personal information that we hold, except as permitted or required by law.
