When you view the Website, SCS will receive information from your device or from server log files including your IP address and domain name, your browser type and other device information, the time you spend on the Website, the specific pages that you view on the Website, and other information.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Website uses cookies, which are small text files kept on your computer or device, as well as other tracking technologies. In addition, third-party web services used by or embedded in the Website (such as Google Maps, Google Web Fonts, Google Analytics, Main Sequence Technology and YouTube) may use their own cookies and tracking technologies, and may track you over time. SCS does not manage or monitor the privacy policies of those sites.
Cookies are mainly used to keep your preferences, store information, and provide anonymised tracking data.
Cookies generally make your browsing experience better. But if you want to disable cookies, often the most effective way is through your browser. Refer to your browser’s Help section, or visit the All About Cookies website.
SCS does not track visitors across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) requests.
Information Submitted Through the Website
We may ask you to provide SCS with personal information (such as your name and email address) if you choose to submit a contact form on the Website. Alternatively, you may contact SCS by mail or telephone.
We will also ask you to provide your email address when you subscribe to the SCS newsletter. You will have the option to unsubscribe through an unsubscribe mechanism in each newsletter.
Information Submitted Through Third-Party Service Providers
In some cases, such as when you search for jobs, or post a resume in the careers section of the Website, a website interface or content may be provided by a third-party service. The information you provide to SCS through third-party services will be used solely for the purposes for which it is collected (including the processing of your application) and will be held in accordance with SCS’s legal and administrative requirements.
