We may use this data to tailor the visitor's experience at our Website or, if applicable, to assess candidacy and qualifications for employment with JOUR.

JOUR also may conduct user surveys on the Web, which usually are intended to provide JOUR with information on a number of areas, such as user identity, user viewing habits, whether or not users found what they were searching for, whether the Website content is relevant to user needs, and the like. JOUR uses the information gathered from such surveys to improve our web content, navigation, and overall visitor experience.

Any personal information that you provide, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, subject areas of interest, etc., allows JOUR to inform you about updates to the service and to notify you about other products and services offered by JOUR that may be of interest to you.
