As part of the Services, we offer users the opportunity to provide us with information (including Personal Information) about their and their employers’ customers, potential customers, and other business contacts.

We do not obtain Third-Party Information from you except through your opt-in consent. Further, Third-Party Information to which you give us access is not made available to any other users of Services, unless you opt-in to allowing other users on your company’s enterprise account to have such access.

If you are a customer or contact of one of our users and would no longer like to be contacted by one of our users that use our service, please contact the user that you interact with directly. We may transfer personal information to companies that help us provide our service. Transfers to subsequent third parties are covered by the service agreements with our users.
An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data should direct his query to the user who provided such information (the data controller). If requested to remove data by a user, we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Such agents or third parties do not have any rights to use Personal Information beyond what is absolutely necessary to assist us.
We may disclose your Personal Information to third parties without your consent if we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other users of the Services, or anyone else (including the rights or property of anyone else) that could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose Personal Information when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is required by and in accordance with the law.
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, your Personal Information may be transferred. We will provide notice before your Personal Information is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
These Services are hosted in the United States and are intended primarily for visitors located within the United States.

Furthermore, you are responsible for maintaining the security of any personal computing device on which you utilize the Services.
You may be able to direct that Personal Information be shared with third parties through use of the Services. We will not permit any such transfer without your express opt-in consent.

Further, such third parties may store the transferred Personal Jurisdiction in a location with privacy and other laws different than those that apply to us. If you have any doubts about the privacy of the information you are providing to a third party, we recommend that you contact that third party directly for more information or to review its privacy policy.

We will also retain Usage and Analytics Information, Diagnostics Information, and Generalized Geo-Location Information for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.
