We also collect non-personally identifiable information from you by tracking your use of the Site, often through the use of cookies. A ''cookie'' is a small
data file that is sent to your browser from a web server that you access and which is stored on your computer's hard drive. This data file may contain information (such as a unique user
ID) that a web site may use to track certain things. Once you have logged in, cookies will provide information to the Site so that you will not have to re-enter your password each time
that you access a password-protected area of this Site. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information. However, once you choose
to furnish the Site with personally identifiable information, this information may be linked to the data, stored in the cookie.
Preference and options configurations in
your browser determine if and how a cookie will be accepted. You can change those configurations on your computer if you desire. You can do this through your browser (like Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser’s “Help” menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. By changing your
preferences, you can choose to accept all cookies, or have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject

We advise you to be cautious when you post any personal information in newsgroups, chat rooms, or other public forums because this
information will be open to all participants of the public forums.
4. How We Share Information With Others
a. All Accounts. We may hire agents and contractors to perform services on our behalf including,
without limitation, facilitating some aspects of our web site, sending e-mail to you, and handling our billings, collections and renewals. These other companies may be supplied with or
have access to your personally identifiable information for the purpose of providing these services to us or on our behalf.
Agents and contractors of the
Company who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy by, for example, not using
the information for any purpose other than to carry out the Services that they are performing for the Company and as otherwise required by law.
We may
disclose and use your information in special circumstances when we believe in good faith that such disclosures: (a) are required by law, including, for example, to comply with a court
order or subpoena; or (b) will help to enforce our agreements with you; protect your safety or security, including the safety and security of property that belongs to you; and/or, protect
the safety and security of this Site, our Company, and/or third parties, including the safety and security of property that belongs to the Company or third parties.
In the event that all of our business assets are transferred to or acquired by another company, your information may be one of the transferred assets.
b. Links. This Site may contain links to other sites that may have dissimilar to ours information practices. We are not
responsible or liable for the information collection practices or content of such linked sites. You should consult the other sites' privacy policies, as we have no control over
information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.
c. Opt-Out Option. You have the
opportunity, before the time your personal, non-public information is initially disclosed to a non-affiliated third party, to direct us that such information not be disclosed to such
third party. We will notify you at the last email address that you have provided to us about our intent to disclose your personal, non-public information with a non-affiliated third
party. You will have five (5) business days to notify us that you would like to “opt-out” from the disclosure by sending your request to opt-out[at]Webtalk.org, with “Opt-Out” as a subject line. If we receive your request in a timely fashion, within five (5) business days, we will
honor it. However, if you fail to exercise your “opt-out” option within five (5) business days after receiving our notification of intent, we will interpret your silence as consent to the
disclosure.
Please note, that this subsection shall not prevent us from providing nonpublic personal information to a non-affiliated third party to perform services or
functions on our behalf, including marketing of our services or products, or services or products offered pursuant to joint agreement(s) between us and the non-affiliated third party,
when we enter into a contractual agreement with the third party that requires the third party to maintain the confidentiality of such.
d.
Advertising and Web Beacons. To support the services we provide at no cost to our users, as well as provide a more relevant and useful experience for our users,
we serve our own ads and also allow third party advertisements on the site. These advertisements are targeted and served to Members, by both Webtalk.org and other companies, called ad
networks. Ad networks include third party ad servers, ad agencies, ad technology vendors and research firms.
Advertisements on the Site may target Members, who fit a
certain general profile category (e.g., “product managers in Florida”) or may be based on anonymous information inferred from a Member’s profile (e.g., industry, compensation bracket,
gender, age, ethnic origin, nationality, religion, or other aspects of your life) in addition to the Member’s use of our Site. The Company does not provide personally identifiable
information to any third party ad network.
To increase the effectiveness of ad delivery, we may include a file, called a web beacon, from an ad network within pages
served by the Company. The web beacon allows the ad network to provide non-personally identifiable, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for advertisers. Web beacons also enable
the ad networks to serve ads to you when 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.
You may opt-out of use of web beacons in Webtalk.org
pages that you view and of placement of a cookie by ad networks in your browser. To opt-out, please, email to opt-out[at]Webtalk.org. If you opt-out you may lose certain functionality of our services, as well as the potential benefit of receiving ads that are targeted to
your interests which, in turn, may limit your ability to fully realize the benefits of our Services to build and leverage your professional network.
e. Webtalk.org’s Message Boards. If you provide any testimonials about the Webtalk.org Services or place advertisements
through the Site’s Message Boards, we may post those testimonials and examples of advertisements you place in connection with our promotion of these services to third parties.
Testimonials and advertisements may include your name and other personal information that you have provided.
