Information You Provide to Us. We collect any information that you submit to us voluntarily through the Service or provide to us in any other way. For example, when you register with the Service you may provide us with certain information, such as your full name, email address, and a password. If you register for a paid subscription, then you will need to provide our designated payment processor with payment or billing information. Your will be subject to the payment processor’s privacy policies. When you create a profile within the Service, you may also (but are not required to) provide other information about yourself, such as a profile photo, education, work experience, skills, information about your business or information about opportunities that you are seeking or looking to provide. If you post content to the Service, or chat or message with other members within the Service, you provide us the content of your post, chat or message, and if you contact us with a customer service or other inquiry, you provide us with the content of that communication. If you provide us with comments, suggestions, recommendations or other feedback pertaining to our Service (collectively “Feedback”), you understand that we may (although we have no obligation to do so) retain, disclose, use, or otherwise commercially exploit that Feedback in connection with any portion of our Service without any compensation or consideration to you. Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly viewable portions of our Service, that information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others. For example, if you post your email address in a public forum, you may receive unsolicited messages. We cannot control who reads your posts or what other members may do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal information.

We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal information:

• To administer your account and provide our Service to you. For example, to create and manage your account, provide you with customer support and respond to your requests, complete your transactions, or communicate with you about our Service.

• To ensure legal compliance. For example, to comply with legal requirements, assist law enforcement, or enforce or exercise our rights.

We may process your personal information: for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, with your consent, for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, for the performance of a contract to which you are party, in order to protect your vital interests, or when we have assessed it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party to whom it may be necessary to disclose information.

Affiliates and Service Providers. We may share or disclose information with our current and future affiliates and business partners, so that we can, for example, provide you with information about other products and services that might interest you. We also may share your information with service providers, vendors or agents working on our behalf. For example, companies we have hired to provide analytics, or assist in protecting and securing our systems and services may need access to your information to provide those functions. These providers work on our behalf and agree not to use or disclose information we provide for purposes other than providing their services.

Aggregate Information. We may share aggregated and anonymous information based on information collected from visitors to our Service with service providers and partners to provide or improve the Service and our systems. This information does not identify you and we require our partners to keep all such information in its anonymous form.

Legal Disclosure and Business Transfers. We may disclose any information we collect without notice or consent from you, if we believe in good faith that the disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud or other crimes, or respond to lawful government requests. In such instances, we will limit disclosure to that information which is necessary to accomplish the above purposes. We also reserve the right to disclose or transfer the information we collect to another company in connection with a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event.

Under certain circumstances, you may have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal information including:

• The right to request access to your personal information.
• The right to request correction of the personal information that we hold about you.
• The right to request erasure/deletion of your personal information, under certain conditions.
• The right to request the transfer of your personal information to you or to a third party, under certain conditions.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to enable us to address your request or to speed up our response.

Reasonable access to a record of your personal information will be provided at no cost. We may charge a reasonable fee if your request(s) is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive; alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request(s) in these circumstances. If access cannot be provided within a reasonable time frame, we will provide you with an estimated date when a record of the personal information will be provided. If for some reason we cannot supply you with a record of the personal information we have collected, used, and stored, we will provide an explanation as to why we cannot provide the record.

We generally retain your personal information as long as you have an active account or subscription or as otherwise needed to provide you the Service. However, we may retain your personal information even after you have closed your account if reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our Terms of Service. We also may retain de-personalized information after your account has been closed. Information you have shared with others (e.g., content or messages that you post to the Service) will remain visible after you close your account, and we do not control data that other members have copied out of the Service.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at info@theB2T.com, specifying your request.

You can choose to no longer receive marketing emails from us by contacting us at info@theB2T.com or by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in the email communications sent to you, except that we may continue to communicate with you in order to provide services or products you have requested.

We utilize reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and administrative procedures to safeguard the information we collect and process. However, the inherent insecurity of the Internet and other factors, may compromise the security of your personal information at any time. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

To facilitate our business practices, your personal information may be collected, transferred to and stored by us in the United States and in other countries where we or our service providers operate, including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). We will take steps to ensure the personal information we transfer is adequately protected as required by applicable data protection laws.

Your browser or device may allow you to adjust your settings so that “do not track” requests are sent to the websites that you visit or access. However, as an industry-standard protocol for “do not track” signals has not yet been established, we do not disable tracking technology that may be active on the Service in response to any “do not track” requests that we receive from your browser or device.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides California consumers with the right to obtain from us information about the personal information that we collect, use, and disclose, as well as the right to request that your personal information be corrected or deleted, with some exceptions. You can exercise your rights by following the steps set out above in Your Rights and Choices Regarding Your Information. We will not discriminate against you should you choose to exercise your consumer privacy rights. We do not “sell” your personal information as currently defined under the CCPA.

This Policy applies only to the Service. It does not apply to any other services, or to any third party services, applications, and/or services that may be linked to, facilitated through, or provided via our Service. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party services, including their use of any cookies and/or collection of any personal information. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Service, and to read the privacy policy of each Service that you visit.

Our Service is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect, use, or share personal information from children under 13. If a parent or legal guardian learns that their child provided us with personal information without his or her consent, please contact us and we will make commercially reasonable attempts to delete such personal information.

We may update or revise this Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide you with notice through the Service, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. If you object to any changes, you may close your account. Your continued use of our Service after we publish or send a notice about our changes to this Policy means that you are consenting to the updated Policy as of the effective date.
