What information do we gather?Information on Avanade is gathered in two ways: (1) passively (for example,
through our site's technology), and (2) actively (for example, if you send us an
e-mail request).
When you visit our site, our software automatically collects some information
from your computer. The information includes the unique Internet address

We also collect information when you voluntarily submit it to us. For

we may store and use the information you provide for marketing purposes. If you
submit a technical question to us, we may store your question and we may contact
you if we need clarification on the question. Also, we may post your question

or email address if we post an answer to your question.

opportunities with Avanade, we may collect and store the information you provide
for recruiting purposes. On the Recruiting site, you will be asked for
information necessary for the recruiting process such as your name, contact
information and technical experience. Because different jurisdictions have
different privacy laws and Avanade is committed to complying with such laws,
when applying for positions in some locations before you can submit your
CV/Resume you will need to indicate your consent to the following uses of your
CV/Resume by Avanade: (1) Avanade, its affiliates, and agents will store,
access, and use the information in any jurisdiction, including jurisdictions
whose privacy laws may be different and less protective than those of your home
jurisdiction; and (2) Avanade, its affiliates and agents, may use this
information to evaluate your eligibility for employment and to contact you for
recruiting purposes. Please note that people under 18 years old are not
authorized to submit recruiting information.
