Please review the information in service for a complete description of our services, or contact us for additional information.

The Information We Collect

Wray Executive Search collects personally identifiable information (that is, information from which an individual can be identified, such as full name, e-mail address and physical address) and other information that visitors to the site choose to provide to us, for example, when registering as a candidate for our Search Services, when uploading or building a resume, in responding to employment opportunities posted on the site, when taking assessment tests or when contacting us via e-mail. We also collect information from our clients and others in the course of the various Search Services that we provide, as well as by conducting research using the Internet and other resources. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children (that is, minors younger than eighteen years of age).

How We Use and Disclose the Information We Collect

We generally use the information we collect for the purposes for which it is provided and to enhance our Search Services. The following paragraphs describe various specific ways in which we may use personally identifiable and other information. These descriptions are examples and should not be considered as a complete list of the ways in which we may use or disclose information we have collected.

Information Concerning Candidates

Identifying positions of interest. We use information that we have collected concerning candidates to identify professional opportunities that we think may be of interest. We may contact potential candidates from time to time regarding such opportunities.Providing data to clients and references. We generally provide personally identifiable information regarding candidates to prospective employers or reference sources only if the candidate has requested or otherwise consented that we do so. However, on rare occasions, we are engaged to conduct highly confidential searches for senior executives, and on those rare occasions, prospective candidates' information may be provided to the client without the candidates' prior request or knowledge. In addition, through our Board Search Services practice, we recruit senior-level individuals with broad ranges of experience to become board members for selected clients. When Dick Wray is retained in connection with a search for a client's board of directors, it is possible that information may be provided to the client without the candidate's prior request or knowledge.Soliciting information regarding candidates. We may contact individuals from time to time to solicit names of or other information regarding potential candidates in connection with a search that we are conducting.Refining our Search Services. We may use the information we collect concerning candidates for purposes of developing and improving our Search Services, and for purposes of collecting and disclosing diversity statistics and other statistical information regarding our candidates and placement activities.Search service announcements. We may periodically send registered candidate users website update information and service announcement updates via e-mail. Because these announcements contain important information about search services, as long as you remain a registered user you will not be able to unsubscribe from these announcements.

Use of Data by Clients and Others

We cannot and do not assume any responsibility for the actions or omissions of third parties, such as clients, service providers or strategic partners, including the manner in which they use information received either from Dick Wray or from other independent sources. The site may contain links to other Web sites, including co-branded or other affiliated sites which may or may not be owned or operated by Dick Wray. Unless otherwise expressly stated, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such Web sites, including such sites' use of any information collected through cookies or other technologies when visitors to our site click on links to those sites. You should review the privacy policies associated with such sites to understand how their operators collect and use information.

Tracking Data

Wray Executive Search monitors visitor traffic patterns throughout the site by logging tracking data, which is collected automatically from each site visitor. Tracking data may include information such as the IP address of the visitor's computer, its browser type and operating system, the referring site, which pages of the site were visited, the order in which they were visited and which hyperlinks were clicked. Wray Executive Search uses tracking data and other non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our visitors, and by measuring demographics and interests regarding specific areas of the site. We may provide this information to affiliates, current and potential clients, and other business partners.

Cookies

We use “cookies”—that is, small text files placed on a visitor's hard drive—and other technologies to help us determine information such as the type of content a visitor to the site links to, and the length of time each visitor spends at any particular area of the site. In addition, if you register as a member of the Site, you have the option of requesting that we save your login ID and password so that you don't have to re-enter that information when you revisit the site—this function is accomplished using a cookie. Dick Wray cookies are read only by Dick Wray servers and are unable to execute any code or virus. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies or notify you when a cookie is set. (Each browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.) If you reject all cookies, you will not be able to use those services that require you to sign in. Please note that you should activate only the “Save ID & Password” feature on the site if you are the exclusive user of your computer. The use of this feature entails saving your login ID and password in a cookie placed on your computer; thus, anyone who uses your computer may be able to access your Dick Wray account without your permission. You may turn off the “Save ID & Password” feature at any time by deselecting this option on the login page.

You may change information that you have provided on the site (for example, through the candidate profile features) by following the posted instructions. If you would like to have your information removed from the Dick Wray database, please contact us at info@wraysearch.com, put “Remove User“ in the subject line of the e-mail, and include your full name, user ID and telephone number in the body of the message. We will make a reasonable effort to comply with your request. (We may need to contact you to be sure that we are deleting the appropriate information.) Please keep in mind that residual information will remain within Dick Wray databases, access logs and other records, which may or may not contain your personally identifiable information. The residual information will not be used for commercial purposes; however, Dick Wray reserves the right to re-contact former users of our Search Services from time to time.

Wray Executive Search offers registered users the Executive Connection newsletter via email on a regular basis, along with other timely emails about the restaurant and foodservice industry, upcoming events, job opportunities or other items of interest.

If you wish to unsubscribe from the newsletter and not receive any further email notices from Wray Executive Search, please follow the directions at the bottom of the e-newsletter or email notice to info@wraysearch.com and you will be permanently taken off the recipient list. This does not change the status of your registration as a candidate. Nor does registration to Executive Connection qualify as registration as a candidate. We have a firm commitment to not send unwanted or unsolicited email.

Surveys and Contests
