DiverseLink Privacy Policy

Introduction:

The mission of DiverseLink is to connect the world of supplier diversity and supply chain to enable them to be more productive and successful. We work to fulfill this mission by helping you, your connections, and thousands of other professionals meet, exchange ideas, learn, make deals, find opportunities or employees, work, and make decisions in a network of trusted relationships and groups.

Being part of DiverseLink means sharing information about yourself with other professionals, communicating with them, as well as working privately on your own. By default, your account is set up to share the information that we have found the vast majority of our Users are interested in sharing. But the amount and type of information you decide to share, and with whom you share it, is up to you.

The DiversLink Privacy Policy applies to all DiverseLink Users and explains how DiverseLink collects, uses and shares information from or about you when you visit the DiverseLink Site and provides information on how DiverseLink advertises, both on our Sites and on third-party websites, and how DiverseLink collects information based on your interactions with our online ads.

There are three main types of information collected on DiverseLink:

Information that you share. This is the information that your connections, other professionals, and companies see about you and your affiliations. This includes your profile and your contributions to discussions on DiverseLink or other community features DiverseLink may offer. You have control over what you share, how much information you provide and you can update information at any time.

Communication. We help you communicate with connections and other professionals. Some of this is one-to-one, some of it is in groups, and some of it is public discussion. You decide how much or how little you wish to communicate to individuals or groups.

DiverseLink adheres to the following principles to protect your privacy:

We do not rent, sell, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable information to third parties without your consent, except as described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law.
We do not share any information you have not chosen to display on your DiverseLink profile to other parties, unless compelled by law, or as necessary to enforce our User Agreement or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of DiverseLink, its Users, and the public.
All information that you provide will be protected with industry standard protocols and technology.

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this Policy, we will notify you, so that you may access and review the changes to this Privacy Policy. If you object to any modifications to this Policy, you may close your account and discontinue use of the DiverseLink website and service. By continuing to use the DiverseLink service after notice of changes has been sent to you or published on the DiverseLink website, you are consenting to the changes.

Without a minimal amount of information as specified within registration, you cannot create a DiverseLink account. Like other passwords, you should choose one that is known only by you.

If you decide not to share certain information, you may not receive the full benefit of being a DiverseLink User.

C. Contacts Information

The names and email addresses of people whom you invite will be used to send your invitations and reminders as well as to allow DiverseLink to help expand your network. Please note that when you send an invitation to connect to another User or potential User, that User will have access to your email address because it is displayed in the invitation. Your DiverseLink connections will also have access to your email address. You should not invite anyone you do not know and trust to connect with you.

If you choose to use the DiverseLink service to inform another professional about our website, our mobile application, or a particular product or service, DiveseLink will ask you for that person's name and e-mail address. DiverseLink will automatically send that invitee an e-mail message with information about our Network, products and/or service and inviting him or her to visit our website or use our mobile application. This message will include your name and/or e-mail address and any optional message that you elect to send along with our e-mail. DiverseLink does not retain the information that you provide as part of this service (although we may retain the e-mail address of the person you suggest if he or she requests to receive additional information or e-mail messages from us).

For example, we know when you click on ads, join groups, participate in polls, install a DiverseLink mobile application, share articles on DiverseLink, or conduct other activities on the DiverseLink website.

F. Using Third Party Services and Visiting Third Party Sites

We receive information when you use your DiverseLink account to log in or authenticate to a third-party website or application. Also, if you are logged into DiverseLink and visit a third party site that embeds DiverseLink professional plugins, DiverseLink will receive information that those pages have loaded in your web browser. DiverseLink will use this information to personalize the DiverseLink-provided functionality, including providing you insights from your DiverseLink network, allowing you to share information with your network, enabling you to use information learned from and functionality off the DiverseLink site and serving you more relevant advertising. DiverseLink’s retention of this data is addressed in Section 1.K.

G. Cookies

Like most websites, we use cookies and web log files to track site usage and trends, to improve the quality of our service, to customize your experience on DiverseLink, as well as to deliver DiverseLink and third-party advertising to Users both on and off the DiverseLink site. A cookie is a tiny data file that resides on your computer, mobile phone, or other device, and allows us to recognize you as a User when you return to the DiverseLink website using the same computer and web browser. You can remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases doing so may impact your ability to use DiverseLink. One type of cookie, known as a “persistent” cookie, is set once you’ve logged in to your DiverseLink account. The next time you visit the DiverseLink website, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognize you as an existing User so you will not need to log in before using the Services. In order to access or change any of your private information or to send a message to another User, however, you must log in securely again with your password even if your computer contains your persistent cookie. Another type of cookie, called a “session” cookie, is used to identify a particular visit to the DiverseLink website. Session cookies expire after a short time or when you close your web browser. Other technology like Macromedia’s flash can be used to place the functional equivalent of a cookie on your computer. You can control flash “local stored objects” or “flash cookies” using the Macromedia Website Privacy Settings Panel at www.macromedia.com. DiverseLink may use cookie-equivalent technology for the limited purpose of enhancing the security of DiverseLink's services.

In the course of serving advertisements or optimizing the Services to our Users, we may allow authorized third parties to place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. Any information provided to third parties through cookies will not be personally identifiable but may provide general segment information (e.g., your industry or geography, career field, or information about your professional or educational background) for the enhancement of your user experience by providing more relevant advertising. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. DiverseLink does not store unencrypted personally identifiable information in the cookies.

H. 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 target and serve our own ads and third-party ads both on and off the site. We may use ad networks whichmay include third party ad servers, ad agencies, ad exchanges, ad technology vendors and research firms.

We target ads to Users based on general profile categories or on non-personally identifiable information inferred from a User’s profile in addition to a User’s use of DiverseLink or their clicking on DiverseLink ad inventory. DiverseLink does not provide personally identifiable information to any third party ad network.

We use ad technology such as web beacons, pixels, anonymous ad network tags, and cookies to more effectively serve ads to our Users on and off DiverseLink through ad networks, as well as to collect anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for advertisers. Because your web browser requests advertisements and web beacons directly from ad network servers, these networks can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.

I. Log files, IP Addresses and information about your computer and mobile device

Because of the communications standards on the internet, when you visit the DiverseLink website we automatically receive the URL of the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave DiverseLink. Additionally, advertisers may receive the URL of the page you were on when you click on an ad on DiverseLink. DiverseLink also receives the internet protocol (“IP”) address of your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer operating system and type of web browser you are using, email patterns, your mobile device (including your UDID) and mobile operating system (if you are accessing DiverseLink using a mobile device), as well as the name of your ISP or your mobile carrier. DiverseLink may also receive location data passed to it from third-party services or GPS-enabled devices that you have enabled. Also, as described above in Sections 1.E. and 1.F., DiverseLink receives information when you access web pages containing DiverseLink interactive plugins. The link between your IP address and your personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties without your permission, except as described in Section 2.L (“Compliance with Legal Process”), below.

J. Rights to Access, Correct and Eliminate Information About You

You have a right to access, modify, correct and eliminate the data you supplied to DiverseLink. If you update any of your information, we may keep a copy of the information that you originally provided to us in our archives for uses documented in this policy. Conversely, because membership in the DiverseLink Supplier Diversity Network is exclusive to corporate supplier diversity practitioners that meet DiverseLink’s criteria for membership, DiverseLink reserves the right to deactivate and/or delete your account and to delete and/or eliminate information on the DiverseLink website about you upon confirmation that you are no longer a member of the corporate supplier diversity community. In the event DiverseLink closes your account, the provision of Section 3.g. of this Policy will apply..

K. Data Retention

DiverseLink will retain your information for so long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services, except in the case of our professional plugin impression data, which we de-identify after twelve (12) months. If you wish to close your account, you may do so by contacting DiverseLink. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce this Agreement.

We may also send you messages with promotional information directly or on behalf of our partners.

You can change your e-mail and contact preferences at any time by logging into your account and changing your informationrelated to your email notification choices.

Please be aware that you cannot opt-out of receiving service messages from DiverseLink. Also, if we send communications to you via the carrier service with which you have a mobile communications subscription or otherwise have access, you understand you will pay any service fees associated with your receipt of messages on your mobile device (including text messaging charges).

C. User Communications

Many communications you initiate through DiverseLink (e.g., an invitation sent to a non-User) will list your primary email address and name in the header of the message. Your contact information will only be shared with another User if both of you have indicated that you would like to establish a connection with each other.

D. Customized Content

We use information you provide to us (or to third parties with whom DiverseLink offers combined services) to customize your experience on our website.

E. Sharing Information with Third Parties

DiverseLink takes the privacy of our Users very seriously, and we do not sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable information to third parties, except as described in this policy. We will also not share other personal information not published to your profile or generated through engagement with other DiverseLink services without your explicit consent or to carry out your instructions (for example, to process payment information) unless, disclosure is reasonably necessary in our opinion to: (1) comply with legal process, including, but not limited to, civil and criminal subpoenas, court orders or other compulsory disclosures; (2) enforce this Agreement; (3) respond to claims of a violation of the rights of third parties, whether or not the third party is a User, individual, or government agency; (4) respond to customer service inquiries; or (5) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of DiverseLink, our Users or the public.

DiverseLink offers a “public profile” feature that allows Users to publish portions of their DiverseLink profile to the public internet. This public profile will be crawled by and displayed through search engines when someone searches for your name. However, DiverseLink does not warrant how often third-party search engines will update their caches, which may contain old public profile information.

Content distributed through DiverseLink’s sharing features and third party integrations may result in displaying some of your information outside of DiverseLink. For example, if you have linked your DiverseLink account to your Twitter account, you can easily share content into both DiverseLink as well as to Twitter.

We may provide aggregated anonymous data about the usage of the Services to third parties for purposes that we deem, in our sole discretion, to be appropriate, including to prospective advertisers on DiverseLink.

F. Developers using DiverseLink Platform Services

We collaborate with and allow third parties to use DiverseLink’s platform to offer services and functionality in conjunction with and outside of DiverseLink. These third parties are either partners (“DiverseLink Partners”) with whom we have negotiated an agreement to provide services (“Combined Services”), or developers (“Platform Developers”) who have agreed to our developer terms in order to build applications (“Platform Applications”). The negotiated agreements contain restrictions on access, storage and use of your information.

If you choose to use DiverseLink services or a Platform Application, you may be asked to confirm acceptance of the privacy policy and/or user agreement of the DiverseLink Partner or Platform Developer, which have not necessarily been reviewed or approved by DiverseLink. It is your choice whether or not to make use of Platform Applications and whether to proceed under any third party terms, and once you do, the third party's terms, and not this policy, will govern how DiverseLink Partner or DiverseLink Platform Partner or other third party handles information you provide to them directly or through your DiverseLink account.

Also, despite our agreements and technical steps taken to restrict access to and avoid possible misuse of information, we may not screen or audit all Platform Applications. We also cannot guarantee that any DiverseLink Partner or Platform Developer will abide by our agreement. You agree that your use of Platform Applications is on an “as is” basis and without any warranty.

If you use any Platform Application, the DiverseLink Partner or Platform Developer may access and share certain information about you, such as non-public profile information and information visible only to your connections. This includes information about your connections by virtue of you being connected to others.

To report any suspected misuse of information, contact DiverseLink. DiverseLink is not responsible for your use of or inability to use any Platform Application, including the content, accuracy, or reliability of applications and the privacy practices or other policies of DiverseLink Partners or Platform Developers.

Whether or not you decide to participate in a poll or survey is completely up to you.

After you complete a poll or survey, you will be given access to the aggregate or user defined filering responses of the poll or survy on a results page. Some third parties may target advertisements to you on the results page based on your answers in a poll or survey.

If the delivery of incentives requires your contact information, you may be asked to provide personally identifiable information to the third party fulfilling the incentive offer, which will only be used for the purpose of delivering incentives and/or verifying your contact information. It is up to you whether you provide this information, or whether you desire to take advantage of an incentive.

Because Users may use and interact with DiverseLink in a variety of ways, and because those uses may change over time, we designed our settings to provide our users granular control over the information they share. We encourage our Users to review their account settings and adjust them in accordance with their preferences.

DiverseLink may also retain and use your information if necessary to provide the Services to other Users. For example, just as an email you may send to another person through an email service provider resides in that person’s inbox even after you delete it from your sent files or close your account, emails or communications you send on DiverseLink to other Users, as well as your contributions to DiverseLink Groups, Forums, Blogs or other contributions may remain visible to others after you have closed your account. Similarly, other information you have shared with others, or that other Users have copied, may also remain visible. DiverseLink disclaims any liability in relation to the deletion or retention (subject to the terms herein) of information or any obligation not to delete the information. DiverseLink does not control when search engines update their cache, which may contain certain public profile information that has since been removed from DiverseLink’s publicly viewable database.

D. Memorializing / Closing Accounts

If we learn that a User is deceased, or receive other information confirming the need to memorialize or close an account, we may memorialize or close the User’s account. In these cases we may restrict profile access, remove messaging functionality, and close an account if we receive a formal request from the User’s next of kin or other proper request to do so.

4. Your Obligations

As a User, you have certain obligations to other Users. Some of these obligations are imposed by applicable law and regulations, and others have become commonplace in user-friendly communities of like-minded members such as DiverseLink:
