Providing additional information beyond what is required at registration to become a User is entirely optional, but enables you to better identify yourself and find new opportunities in the NetworkSwing.com system to build and leverage your professional network. Any information you provide at registration or in the Profile section that is not personally identifiable may be used in the same manner and extent to which other information that is not personally identifiable is permitted to be used hereunder, including for the purpose of serving advertisements through the service. If you opt-out you may lose the potential benefit of being a User, including receiving ads that are more targeted to your interests.

Contacts Information
In order to invite others to connect with you directly in NetworkSwing.com, you may use the NetworkSwing.com services to invite them if they are a User, or enter their names and email addresses. This information will be used by NetworkSwing.com to send your invitation including a message that you write. The names and email addresses of people that you invite will be used only to send your invitation and reminders.

Customer Service
NetworkSwing.com may collect information through the NetworkSwing.com website or through the Customer Service website in order to, among other things, accurately categorize and respond to a customer's inquiry and deliver appropriate service levels.

Cookies
Like most websites, NetworkSwing.com uses cookies and web log files to track site usage. A cookie is a tiny data file which resides on your computer which allows NetworkSwing.com to recognize you as a User when you return to the NetworkSwing.com website using the same computer and web browser. If your browser settings do not allow cookies, you will not be able to use the NetworkSwing.com website. Like the information you enter at registration or in your Profile, cookie and log file data is used to customize your experience on our website.

One type of cookie, known as a "persistent" cookie, is set once you've logged in to your NetworkSwing.com account. The next time you visit the NetworkSwing.com website, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognize you as an existing User so you will not need to log in before using the service. In order to access or change any of your private information (like a credit card number) or to send a message to another User, however, you must log in securely again with your password even if your computer containsyour persistent cookie.

Additionally, if you log out of the NetworkSwing.com website you will need to re-enter your password the next time you visit in order to log in to your account. Another type of cookie, called a "session" cookie, is used to identify a particular visit to theNetworkSwing.com website. Session cookies expire after a short time or when you close your web browser.

We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by storing User preferences and tracking User trends. In the course of serving advertisements or optimizing services to our Users, we may allow authorized third parties to place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. Any information provided to third parties through such cookies will not be personally identifiable but may provide general segment information, e.g. your industry or geographic location, your occupation, or information about your professional or educational background, for greater customization of your user experience. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Unfortunately, if your browser settings do not allow cookies or you opt to refuse all cookies, you may not be able to use the NetworkSwing.com website orservices. NetworkSwing.com does not store personally identifiable information in the cookies.

Web Beacons
We allow other companies, called ad networks, to serve advertisements to Users. Ad networks include third party ad servers, ad agencies, ad technology vendors and research firms. NetworkSwing.com may "target" some ads to Users that fit a certain general profile - for example - product managers in Texas. NetworkSwing.com does NOT use personally identifiable information to target ads.

To deliver these ads properly, NetworkSwing.com may include a file, called a web beacon, from these ad networks within pages served by NetworkSwing.com so the networks may provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for advertisers as well as to target ads to you while you visit other websites.

Because your web browser must request these advertisements and web beacons from the ad network's servers, these companies can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.

These general targets may also be used by ad networks to display targeted ads on other websites as a substitute for random, irrelevant ads. NetworkSwing.com does not provide personally identifiable information to any advertiser or any other third party.

Logging of Information

Due to the communications standards on the Internet, when you visit the NetworkSwing.com web site we automatically receive the URL of the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave NetworkSwing.com. We also receive the Internet protocol (IP) address of your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer operating system and type of web browser you are using, email patterns, as well as the name of your ISP. This information is used to analyze overall trends to help us improve the NetworkSwing.com service. The linkage between your IP address and your personally identifiable information is not shared with third-parties without your permission or except when required by law.

Consent to Process Information

Certain information you provide to NetworkSwing.com may reveal, or allow others to identify, your nationality, ethnic origin, religion or other aspects of your private life, and more generally about you. Please be aware that in providing information to NetworkSwing.com for the purposes of opening your user account, you are expressly and voluntarily accepting the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and NetworkSwing.com's User Agreement. The supplying of all such information by you to NetworkSwing.com, including all information deemed "sensitive" by applicable law, is entirely voluntary on your part. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy and the User Agreement, but please note that your withdrawal of consent will not be retroactive.

Rights to Access Information

You have a right to access, modify, correct and eliminate the data about you which has been collected pursuant to your decision to become a User. If you update any of your information, we may keep a copy of the information which you originally provided to us in our archives for uses documented herein.

Use of Personal Information

NetworkSwing.com is an online service dedicated to helping all types of professionals more effectively connect with one another. The personally identifiable information you choose to provide on our website is used to help you describe yourself to other Users. Other information, that does not personally identify you as an individual, is collected by NetworkSwing.com from Users (such as, for example, patterns of utilization) and is exclusively owned by NetworkSwing.com. This information can be utilized by NetworkSwing.com in such manner as NetworkSwing.com, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

Communications

NetworkSwing.com will communicate with you through email and notices posted on the NetworkSwing.com website or through other means available through the service, including text and other forms of messaging. If we send any communications to you via the carrier service with which you have a mobile communications subscription or otherwise have access, you understand you will pay any service fees associated with any such access (including text messaging charges for messages to your mobile device). These include a series of up to five welcome emails which help inform new Users about various features of the service. Please be aware that you will always receive certain emails from NetworkSwing.com related to the proper functioning of your account, such as email notices when another User in your network sends you an opportunity. NetworkSwing.com may send you promotional information unless you have opted out of receiving such information.

Sharing Infromation with 3rd Parties

NetworkSwing.com takes the privacy of Users very seriously. We do not sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable information to third parties for marketing purposes. We will only share your personally identifiable information with third parties to carry out your instructions or to provide specific services or information. For instance, we use a credit card processing company to bill Users for subscription fees. These third parties do not retain, share, or store any personally identifiable information except to provide these services and they are bound by confidentiality agreements which limit their use of such information.

We may provide aggregated anonymous data about the usage of our services to third parties for such purposes as we deem, in our sole discretion, to be appropriate, including to prospective advertisers on NetworkSwing.com. We may segment our Users by role (i.e. product managers, vice presidents), industry, geographic location, or company.

Profile Teaming

NetworkSwing.com may offer our services in connection with other websites (including updates about the NetworkSwing.com service) or may team with other online services to give you the combined results of both services or additional services and benefits. Platform Applications (as defined in the User Agreement) can be designed by Platform Developers (as defined in the User Agreement) or by a subset of Platform Developers with whom NetworkSwing.com has more closely aligned
("Partners").

In the case of Partners, we do some vetting and we only work with trusted Partners. For example, SimplyHired.com is a Partner which lets you use its services to find jobs combined with the use of NetworkSwing.com to find referrals to those jobs. Because of NetworkSwing.com's trust in these Partners, Platform Applications or services designed by a Partner may be automatically granted permission to access account information to provide the combined services.

Forums / Chats / Blogs

If you post on the Answers section of NetworkSwing.com, or use a bulletin board, import a blog, or participate in a chat room on NetworkSwing.com, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you choose to provide there can be read, collected, or used by other Users of these forums, as well as Platform Developers and other third parties, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. NetworkSwing.com is not responsible for the personally identifiable
information you choose to submit in these forums.

Communications to Other Users

Many emails you initiate through NetworkSwing.com, e.g., an invitation sent to a non-User, will list your email address and name in the header of the message. Emails you initiate may also provide aggregate information about your network (for instance how many people are in your network), but will not list the people to whom you're directly connected. Other communications that you initiate through the NetworkSwing.com website, like a request for contact, will list your name as
the initiator but will not include your personal contact information. Your contact information will only be shared with another User if both of you have indicated that you would like to establish contact with each other.

Legal Disclaimer

It is possible that we may need to disclose personal information when required by law, such as responses to civil or criminal subpoenas, or other requests by law enforcement personnel. We will disclose such information wherein we have a good-faith belief that it is necessary to comply with a court order, ongoing judicial proceeding, subpoena, or other legal process or request to NetworkSwing.com brought in any country throughout the world, or to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

Disclosures
We may also disclose your personal and other information you provide, to another third party as part of a reorganization or a sale of the assets of a NetworkSwing.com corporation division or company. Any third party to which we transfer or sell NetworkSwing.com's assets will have the right to continue to use the personal and other information that you provide to us.
