All of our employees and contract personnel are bound to our policies regarding the privacy and security of customer data, and we have technical controls and audit policies in place to ensure that any access to your account is logged.
We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary to offer the Services, 2) legally required or, 3) permitted by you. For example:
When you use certain Services, the information you post or share with third parties (e.g., someone in your network), such as personal information, comments, messages, photos, videos or other information, may be shared with other users with whom you choose to interact. All such sharing of information is done at your own risk. Please keep in mind that if you disclose personal information in your profile or when posting comments, messages, resumes, listings or other items, this information may become publicly available.
