Welcome to KCSHRM Online, owned and produced by the Kern County Society for Human Resource Management (KCSHRM). Our website is available to all visitors, although some content and features maybe restricted to KCSHRM members.

Throughout KCSHRM Online, there may be forms for visitors to request information, products, and services. These forms may ask for contact information (such as your phone number or e-mail address), unique identifiers (if one is available), financial information (such as your credit card number), or demographic information (for example, your age, location, PHR/SPHR designation, etc.). Contact information from these forms is used to provide the products, promotional materials, or memberships that you request. Forms on our site that request financial information do so in order to bill you for products or services ordered.

What information of yours does KCSHRM Online collect?

SHRM Online collects information about site visitors. Information collected online is usually defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable. Anonymous information refers to data that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. KCSHRM collects some information each time a visitor comes to a KCSHRM website, so we can improve the overall quality of the visitor's online experience.

You do not have to register with SHRM Online before we can collect this anonymous information.

Personally identifiable information refers to data that tells us specifically who you are (e.g., your name and postal address).

If you prefer, you can reset your browser to notify you when you have received a cookie. You can also set your browser to refuse to accept cookies altogether. While KCSHRM does not require you to use cookies, keep in mind that certain services will not function properly if you set your browser to refuse all cookies.
