We reserve the right to retain and disclose your personal information as required to comply with federal, state or local law; to comply with a civil, criminal, or regulatory inquiry, investigation, subpoena, or summons by federal, state, or local authorities; to cooperate with law enforcement agencies concerning conduct or activity that we reasonably and in good faith believe may violate federal, state, or local law; to exercise or defend legal claims; or when we believe that disclosure is necessary to prevent harm or injury.

LOG FILES
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in electronic log files. This information includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information to analyze trends, to administer the sites, to track users’ movements around the sites and to enhance the experience of users on our websites.
UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS AND OTHER COMPUTER OR DEVICE INFORMATION
A unique identifier is a persistent identifier that can be used to recognize a computer or other device capable of connecting to the Internet, directly or indirectly, over time and across different websites. IP addresses, cookies, beacons, local webstorage and pixel tags are all examples of unique identifiers, although IP addresses can be subject to change by your ISP, if you are using different wireless networks, or if you change your router or your Internet service provider (ISP). A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer or other device in association with an Internet browser for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies and other unique identifiers on this site. Visitors to our websites are sent cookies to keep track of their browsing patterns and build up a user profile.
We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our sites. A session cookie expires when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies are used to customize the content of certain sections of the websites and enable us to track our users and to enhance the experience on our websites. A persistent cookie remains on your device in association with an Internet browser for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your browser’s “help” feature.
If you reject cookies, you may still use our sites, but your ability to use some areas of our sites will be limited.
We also collect certain technical information from your computer or device each time you request a page during a visit to the Apium Websites and Applications. This information may include your IP address, your computer or device’s operating system, browser type and the address of a referring website, if any. We collect this information to enhance the quality of your experience during your visit to the website.
SECURITY
The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter certain sensitive information on our independent contractor application forms, we encrypt that information using secure transport layer security (TLS). If your browser is capable of TLS, your personal information will be automatically encrypted, or encoded, before it is sent over the Internet.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. But no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If you have any questions about security on our website, you can contact us at [email protected] or 916-333-5060.
BUSINESS TRANSITIONS
In the event Apium or its affiliates go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, sale of all or a portion of its assets, or bankruptcy, your personal information will likely be transferred to a third party as an asset.
CHANGES IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy policy here and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here.
