Collected data will be stored and processed in whole or in part in the United States.
The information we gather on the Healthcare of Today Sites may be shared within the
Healthcare of Today companies on a worldwide basis in order to deliver the products
and services we offer to employers such as searches for job seekers or in order to
undertake analysis of our database such as aggregate profiling of our registered

The Locate Space website contains links to other websites over which we have no
control whatsoever. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of
other Web sites to which you choose to link from our Sites. We encourage you to
review the privacy policies of those other Web sites so you can understand how they
collect, use and share your information.

you provide personal information, including your name, address, e-mail address,
telephone number, credit card number, social security number, contact information,
billing information and any other information from which your identity is discernible.
In other areas, we collect or may collect demographic information that is not unique
to you such as your ZIP code, age, preferences, gender, interests and favorites.
Sometimes we collect or may collect a combination of the two types of information.
Examples of areas on the Healthcare of Today Sites where we collect personal or combined
personal and demographic data are pages where you can open a Personal Profile account,

resume or profile, enter a contest or purchase a product.
We also gather or may gather certain information about your use of Locate Space, such
as what areas you visit and what services you access. Moreover, there is information
about your computer hardware and software that is or may be collected by us. This
information can include without limitation your IP address, browser type, domain names,
access times and referring Web site addresses, but is not linked to your personal
information.
We may sometimes afford you the opportunity to provide descriptive, cultural, behavioral,
preferential and/or life style information about yourself, but it is solely up to you
whether you furnish such information. If you do provide such information, you thereby
consent to the use of that information in accordance with the policies and practices
described in this Privacy Statement. For example, such information may be used for the
purpose of determining your potential interest in receiving e-mail or other communications
about other products or services.
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about the Nurses of Today or
refer a job posting to a friend, we will ask you for your friend's name and email address.
We will automatically send your friend emails inviting him or her to visit the Healthcare
of Today Sites or view the job posting. We will not store this shared information.
Our Use of Your Information
We use the information we gather on Locate Space or Healthcare of Today Sites, whether
personal, demographic, collective or technical, for the purpose of operating and improving
the Healthcare of Today Sites, fostering a positive user experience, and delivering the
different products and services that we offer.
If you have provided consent for us to do so, we may also use the information we gather to
inform you of other products or services available from us or our affiliated companies.

Choices Regarding the Disclosure of Personal Information to Others
We will disclose your personal information to third parties, or your combined personal and
demographic information or information about your use of the Locate Space website or any
Healthcare of Today (such as the areas you visit or the services you access).
We disclose information to third parties with your consent to such disclosure. For example,
if you indicate that you would like to receive information about the opportunities, products
or services from third parties at the time you register for a Locate Space account, we supply
your contact information to third parties such as employers, recruiters, data aggregators,
marketers or others for the purpose of sending you e-mail or otherwise communicating with
you. We use data given about you (such as the interests and preferences you have expressed)
to determine whether you might benefit from the opportunities, products or services of a
particular third-party.
We disclose information to companies and individuals we employ to perform functions on our
behalf. Examples include hosting our Web servers, analyzing data, providing marketing
assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. These companies
and individuals will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their
functions; however, they may not share that information with any other third party.
We disclose information if legally required to do so, if requested to do so by a governmental
entity or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal
requirements or comply with legal process; (b) protect our rights or property or our affiliated
companies; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or (d) protect the personal
safety of users or the public.
We will disclose and transfer information to a third party who acquires all or a substantial
portion of our business, whether such acquisition is by way of merger, consolidation or purchase
of all or a substantial portion of our assets. In addition, in the event we become the subject
of a bankruptcy proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, we or our trustee in bankruptcy
may sell, license or otherwise dispose of such information in a transaction approved by the
bankruptcy court. You will be notified of sale of all or a substantial portion of our business
to a third party via email or through a prominent notice posted on the Healthcare of Today Sites.
If you have a Locate Space Networking profile, other users or members of Locate Space Networking
may access your profile, however, they will not have access to your contact information and your
contact information is not displayed in any Locate Space Networking profile.
Other Uses of Information

aggregate on an anonymous basis data regarding job qualifications, schooling, age, experience
level or other information relevant to the job search or competition among Seekers for any such
job. Such data may be made available to employers or fellow job seekers.

we can deliver faster and more accurate results and a more personalized site experience. When you
return to Locate Space, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily
use the features that you customized. We also use cookies for load balancing and to track click streams.

but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline all cookies if you prefer. Alternatively, you
may be able to modify your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you
to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis. Declination of the option to use cookies, however,
may hinder performance and negatively impact your experience on Locate Space and Healthcare of Today Sites.

Security of the Personal Information
We have implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your
personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure.
However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures
or use your personal information for improper purposes.
If you place an order online at Locate Space or Healthcare of Today sites, your credit card information
