How We Use Information
We use the information we automatically receive from your web browser, and any information that may be generated by cookies, to see which pages you visit within our site, which site you visited before coming to ours, and which site you visit after you leave.

We use information consistent with your expectations. If you send information related to potential employment, we review the information, maintain it on file, and use it to contact you and/or your references, former employers, etc., if appropriate. If you send business contact information, we will use the information you provide to explore business opportunities with you or your company. If you submit information to the events calendar area of our site, we will send you alerts according to the preferences you choose. You may always re-set your alert preferences to stop receiving news and alerts from us. Vertex does not sell, rent, or give your personal information to non-affiliated third parties, except as described in this notice. We contract with a third party to maintain and host our website; we may also contract with other service providers.
