Collection and Retention of Information
In some areas of our Web sites, GBC requests or may request that 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, GBC collects 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 GBC Web sites where we collect personal or combined personal and demographic data are pages where you can open a GBC account, sign up to use a service, post a resume, enter a contest or purchase a product.

Of course, you can correct or update your GBC account profile and resume at any time.
