However, this technology and our use of it is not fully developed by the market. Our database containing your information may not be linked to your browser identification and because your request to opt-out of sale/sharing will be linked to your browser identifier only and not linked to any account or database information as the connection between your browser and our database is not known to us, we may not be able to fulfill this request. If you would like us to make the connection between your browser and your account within our database or wish to opt-out of the sale of your personal information, please email us privacy@gojobzone.com or submit the requested form through our website.
