This information may be stored indefinitely and may be collected and processed in one or more databases maintained directly or indirectly by Sterling. From time to time, Sterling may also ask you for other information via surveys or emails, such as information regarding your areas of interest, your likes and dislikes regarding the site, your career goals, services that you would like offered on this site, and other such information that will help us improve the service and features made available to you.
We use information collected through this site or emails, including
personal information, to perform our services. We may contact you regarding
changes to and new job offerings, and we may also send you e-mails or
marketing information related to our services.
Resumes
As a user of Sterling, you have the option of submitting your resume to us in order to apply for an employment opportunity. By doing so, your resume may be forwarded, transmitted, or ported to third-party clients of Sterling or other third parties for consideration (which may include recruiters or placement consultants).
Aggregate Information
Sterling collects information about use of this site, such as the pages users visit most frequently, the services users access the most, and the links to other sites that users most often visit. Sterling only uses such data in the aggregate. This information helps us determine what is most beneficial for our users, and how we can improve the services and features provided to the users. Such aggregate information will never contain any identifiable personal information.
IP Address
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is assigned to your computer each
time you establish a connection on the Internet. Sterling uses your
IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to otherwise
administer this site.
Cookies
Sterling may use "cookies" to maintain and track your sessions on this site.
Disclosure of Information
Sterling may disclose personal information to third parties to perform
its services or to comply with applicable laws, legal process served
on Sterling, or in legal matters or proceedings where (i) such information
is deemed relevant by Sterling, (ii) where Sterling believes that the
law requires such disclosure, (iii) where Sterling believes such disclosure
is necessary to protect its rights or property or (iv) where Sterling
believes such disclose is necessary to prevent a crime, protect the
public and/or Sterling personnel, or protect national security. To the
extent that you include your personal information (including e-mail
address) on any resume you submit or post to the site, Sterling cannot
control the use of such information by third-party clients of Sterling

User Communications
In the event that you transmit e-mail, instant messages or any other message, information, feedback, data, question, comments, suggestions or other items to this site (including the sterling-system.com domain), or to any related or affiliated site, such communication shall become the property of Sterling and may be utilized by Sterling in connection with its operations, services and business, and Sterling shall have the unrestricted right to any ideas, concepts, know-how, software, documentation, diagrams, drawings, or techniques contained in your communication in any manner and for any purpose whatsoever including, but not limited to, developing, creating, or marketing our products and services.
Security and Internet Use Considerations
Remember to close your browser window when you have finished your work.
This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information
and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are
using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal
information, Sterling cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information
you transmit to us or from our online products or services or emails,
and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we
will endeavor to protect it on our systems by using secure servers behind
a firewall.
Your Consent

dissemination of personal information as described above. Sterling will
post any changes to our privacy policy on this page so that you can
readily review the most current policy. As the policy may change from
time to time, you should check back periodically.
