Introduction
Local Career Stage, together with our affiliated companies, provides content via our Website and email communications. We also operate as a marketing and data company. In this capacity, we collect information that enables advertisers to target specific audience segments through various channels: online advertising, in-app placements, email marketing, telemarketing campaigns, and other promotional channels. Our marketing operations involve the collection, disclosure to third parties, and sale of individual consumer information, and we deliver advertising services that track consumer behavior across different websites and apps to serve targeted ads.
Each version maintains the key compliance elements (data collection, sharing, selling, cross-context behavioral advertising, and multiple advertising channels) while varying the tone and structure.
When you visit Local Career Stage, we collect personal information from you, and you may also provide information to us. This privacy policy addresses that information and explains our practices for its collection, use, maintenance, and disclosure. Our terms of service contain additional information about our website.
Read this policy carefully—it explains our policies and practices for your personal information. Don’t agree? Then please don’t use our website or sign up for our emails. Using this website or interacting with our other services means you accept this privacy policy.
Scope and Third-Party Sites:
This Privacy Policy only governs the collection, processing and storing of personal information supplied to this website; it does not govern the collection, processing or storing of personal information by any third party. This Privacy Policy does not govern and is not applicable to any third party or any website that may be linked from Local Career Stage, or from our newsletters. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any websites you access through links from Local Career Stage.
Ways We Gather Your Personal Information:
We collect information through this website that you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any information submitted through an inquiry form. We may supplement the information you provide with additional data obtained from third parties, including affiliates, marketing or advertising partners, data brokers, and other third-party data providers. Certain third parties are entities that have obtained your personal information from their own services. We also automatically collect additional information using cookies and other tracking technologies to perform analytics on our website and to facilitate advertising. See below for more information.
Categories of Personal Data We Collect:
“Personal information” means any information processed by the Company, regardless of medium, that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with a specific consumer or household, either directly or indirectly.
Subscription to the Local Career Stage requires the submission of certain personal information, such as your name, date of birth, street address, e-mail address, and phone number. We also collect information via cookies and similar technologies, including IP address, imprecise geolocation (inferred from your IP address), device identifiers, timestamps, browsing patterns, and click-through interactions. We may obtain additional advertising-related information from data brokers or public databases, including demographic data, interests, prior locations, or purchase history. Information about your privacy rights is provided below.
California law mandates disclosure of the types of personal information collected during the last year. Accordingly, in the past twelve (12) months, we have collected identifiers; personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records Statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)); protected characteristics under California or U.S. federal law; internet or similar network activity information; commercial information; professional or employment-related information; imprecise geolocation data; and inferences derived from other personal information. This information is sold and shared with our affiliated companies and third-party partners for marketing and advertising purposes. You have the right to opt out of such sale or sharing at any time by visiting here.
Information Considered Sensitive
Sensitive Personal Information—such as data concerning race or ethnicity, religion, precise location, LGBTQ+ status, health information, financial account data, or citizenship—is not directly collected by us. Nonetheless, information about your online activity may be collected automatically through technologies like cookies, which could indirectly indicate interest in sensitive subject matter or association with a sensitive group. For example, accessing content related to specific ethnic groups or health topics may imply such interests. These inferences are not made by us directly, but may be made by our affiliated companies or other third parties that receive personal information. If applicable laws require consent for such processing, our affiliates will not generate sensitive inferences. We do not collect or use personal information about children under 18.
How We Use The Information We Collect
We utilize the personal information we collect to send you newsletters or other content that you request and to send you marketing messages by email or through other marketing channels. We also share your personal information with our affiliates and partner companies who may also send you marketing messages by email or other channels. You can opt out here. Our use of personal information for marketing purposes is called “cross context behavioral advertising” under some privacy laws.
Who We Share Personal Information With
We sell or share personal information with our affiliated group of companies and with our clients for marketing uses, including cross context behavioral advertising. We also share personal information with contracted service providers, for advertising, web hosting, fraud detection, analytics, information security, or similar services. When we share data, we put contracts in place with all recipients of our data to ensure appropriate data security measures and compliance with laws. We also share personal information where we are required to do so by law (for example, in response to a warrant or court order), or to protect the health, safety, or rights of any person.
From time to time, personal information may be shared with law enforcement, regulatory authorities, courts, government agencies, or other third parties to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful governmental requests, protect individuals or property, or enforce our rights under applicable agreements, including billing and collection activities. Personal information may also be disclosed in the context of corporate transactions, such as mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, or asset sales, where user data forms part of the transferred assets.
If you agree to the sharing of your information, we may provide personal information to third parties for purposes that were disclosed to you at the time of collection or described in this policy.
Behavioral Advertising, Data Sharing, and Analytics
We share personal information with third party companies to place advertisements on this or other websites and to perform analytics and reporting functions for those sites and for our advertisements. These companies may collect and/or share information about the websites you visit and the web pages and advertisements you view or interact with. We (or our partners) collect your IP address, date and time of interaction, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and the browser type and version you use to visit this website. This information may be combined with other personal information (which may be obtained from data brokers) like your name, email address, or postal address, and may be used to deliver advertising from us or from other companies, through email, on apps or websites, or through social media sites or other media channels (this is also known as “cross-context behavioral advertising”). We also use personal information to analyze interactions with our Website and advertisements so we can continuously improve them.
Cookies and Advertising
Cookies are small computer files that are stored on your browser for use as identifiers so that we or our partners can recognize your browser on certain websites. We do not track every site you visit on the Internet. At this website, we utilize cookies, pixels, and related automated data collection technologies to operate this site safely and effectively; understand how users engage with our website; display personalized content and advertisements; and track engagement with and response to advertisements or other communications. You can restrict, block, or delete cookies at any time by changing your browser settings. If you use a “do not track” or opt-out setting, we will set an opt-out cookie on your browser to stop additional data collection. If you delete this opt-out cookie, you will need to opt that browser out again because our site will no longer know not to collect data about your visits.
The Website uses a variety of automated data collection technologies, including browser cookies, Flash cookies, and web beacons. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that support core Website functions. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, though this may limit access to certain Website areas.
Flash cookies may also be used to store information related to your preferences and interactions with the Website. These cookies are managed through Adobe’s Flash Player tools rather than browser settings.
We also use web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies on our Website, in emails, and on affiliated sites to measure usage patterns, content effectiveness, and system performance.
Global Privacy Control / Do Not Track Mechanisms
We support and honor the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal and other universal opt-out preference signals as valid requests to opt out of the sale and sharing of personal information. These signals are processed automatically when detected from your browser or device. We do not aim to monitor every website you access online. Cookie preferences can be managed or cleared at any time through your browser settings. When you enable a browser-based opt-out signal, such as “Do Not Track” or GPC, an opt-out cookie is placed in your browser to block certain cookies. If this opt-out cookie is deleted or your GPC settings are changed, automated data collection may recommence.

We are unable to process or respond to a request unless we can confirm the requester’s identity or authority to act. To be considered verifiable, a request must include information sufficient to confirm that the requester is the individual whose personal information we hold or a properly authorized representative, and must clearly explain the nature of the request so it can be addressed. You are not required to create an account to submit a request. Any information provided will be used only to verify identity or authority and to process the request. Upon receiving a verifiable request, we will respond within 45 days. Should we need more time, we will let you know in writing within the first 45-day period, including the reason for the delay and the expected response date, up to 45 additional days.
Where a request is refused as permitted by law, you may seek a review of that decision or contact us with any privacy-related questions using the information below. Certain jurisdictions also provide the right to lodge a complaint with a local privacy regulator. Exercising your privacy rights will not result in discrimination.
