About CyVee and the Information We Collect

CyVee is an internet social networking service. When you register for CyVee, you provide us with certain "Personal Information", such as your name, your email address, your work experience, your education, your interests and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us. As part of the registration process, each CyVee Member creates his or her own profile, which contains the Personal Information that the Member chooses to include ("Member Information"). When you create your profile, you have the option of disclosing items within your profile to the "Everyone", to "Network", to your “Direct Connections” or to keep it private. You can update your settings at any time. If you choose to disclose items to the "Public", the information will be viewable by all visitors to the CyVee Web site. If you choose to disclose items to "Network", the items will be viewable only by those CyVee Members who are in your network (1st and 2nd level relationships”). If you choose to disclose items to "Direct Connections", the items will be viewable only by those CyVee Members who are directly connected with you (1st level relationship). If you choose the "Privacy" setting, the items will not be viewable by others. You should be aware that Information that is viewable by others can be collected, or used for their own purposes. Therefore such information could be used improperly to send you unsolicited messages or otherwise. CyVee is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to disclose or for the misuse of such information by Members or third parties. Any misuse or improper collection of Member Information provided is a violation of the CyVee Terms of Use and should be reported to contact@cyvee.com.

How We Use The Information You Disclose?

We use your Personal Information to help us efficiently operate CyVee and to contact you in connection with your transactions and other activities on the Web site. We also use Personal Information to send you notifications regarding new services offered by CyVee or promotions of services that CyVee is undertaking with third parties that we think you may find valuable.

We do not disclose to third parties your personal information or information about your use of the CyVee website (such as the areas you visit or the services you access), except as set forth in the following five subparagraphs.

We may disclose such information to third parties if you consent to such disclosure. For example, if you indicate that you would like to receive information about the products or services of third parties, we may supply your contact information to third parties such as employers, recruiters, data aggregators, marketers or others for the purpose of sending you email or otherwise communicating with you. We may use data we have about you (such as the interests and preferences you have expressed) to determine whether you might be interested in the products or services of a particular third-party.

We may disclose such information to companies and individuals we employ to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include hosting our Web servers, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card or other types of payments, and providing customer service. These companies and individuals will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their functions, but they may not share that information with any other third party.

We may disclose such information if legally required to do so, if requested to do so by a governmental entity or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of the legal entity owning CyVee.com or its partner companies; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of users or the public.

We may disclose and transfer such information to a third party who acquires all or a substantial portion of the legal entity owning CyVee.com, whether such acquisition is by way of merger, consolidation or purchase of all or a substantial portion of our assets.

We may use your name, your company's name or logo, or any other information about or from your account for any and all of CyVee's marketing purposes. For example, company names or logos may be used in newspaper advertising, direct mail pieces, sales kits, posters and other materials related to CyVee.

Links

Invite a Friend

If a Member elects to use our "Invite" feature to invite a friend to become a Member of CyVee, we ask them for the friend's email address. CyVee will automatically send the friend an email inviting them to join the site. CyVee stores this email address for the purpose of automatically adding the respondent to the friends list of the Member sending the invitation, and also to send reminders of the invitation. CyVee does not sell these email addresses or use them to send any other communication besides invitations and invitation reminders.

CyVee shall not be responsible for any damages that result from a lapse in compliance with this Privacy Policy because of a security breach, technical malfunction or similar problem. Always be careful and responsible regarding your personal information.
