If you object to any changes, you may close your account.

Information We Collect About You
When you create an account with us during Registration, you provide us with your name, email address, mobile phone number, password, picture, address, IP address, institution, grade level, subjects amongst other information. The more information you provide in your profile and other locations, the better your experience with our Services. We offer you a choice to not provide personal data which you would not want to be publicly available.
We may offer you an option to invite your contacts or look up your contacts stored in your address book to invite them to join. When you do so we have the ability to view and use the data you provide us to provide Services to your contacts.

Posting And Interacting
When you use our Services, we collect data about your location, time, day, browser and device used. We collect information about you when you send, receive, or engage with messages in connection with our Services. Eg, if you get a connection request, we track whether you have acted on it and we may send you reminders. We also use automatic scanning technology on message and chats. When others interact with you either by replying to your posts or mentioning you in their posts, we collect the same information. We may use this information singularly or together to offer you more Services which we believe will help you make the most of our Services.

Frequency of Use
We log usage data when you visit or otherwise use our Services, including our sites, app and platform technology, such as when you view or click on content (eg a lesson) or ads (on or off our sites and apps), perform a search, install one of our mobile apps or share content. We use log-ins, cookies, device information and internet protocol (“IP”) addresses to identify you and log your use.

We also receive information about your IP address, server including proxy server, operating system, web browser and add-ons, device identifier and features, and/ or ISP or your mobile carrier. If you use our Services from a mobile device, that device will send us data about your location. Most devices allow you to prevent location data from being sent to us and we honor these settings.
Other
We are frequently improving our Services, which means we get new data and create new ways to use data. Our Services are dynamic and we often introduce new features, which may require the collection of new information. If we collect materially different personal data or materially change how we use your data, we will notify you and may also modify this Privacy Policy.

How We Use Data Collected
We use collected data to provide, support, personalize and develop our Services. How we use personal data will depend on which Services you use, how you use those Services and the choices you make in your settings. We use the data that we have to provide, support, personalize and make our Services (including advertisements) more relevant and useful to you and others.
Services
We use data to authenticate you and authorize access to our Services.
Stay Connected
Our Services allow you to stay in touch, in communication and up to date with other Users. To do so, you will ‘connect’ with other Users and also who wish to ‘connect’ with you. When you connect, you will have access to some of the information about other Users and so will they have about you. Including being able to search each other’s connections.
We will use data about you to suggest connections for you and others and enable you to invite others to become a Member and connect with you. We may also track your precise location or proximity to others to suggest other nearby Members for you to connect with. It is your choice whether to invite someone to our Services, send a connection request, or allow another Member to become your connection. When you invite someone to connect with you, your invitation will include your name, picture, area, institution and other relevant information including but not limited to contact information. We may send invitation reminders to the person you invited. You can choose whether or not to share your own list of connections with your connections.
Visitors have choices about how we use their data.
Stay Informed
Our Services allow you to stay informed regarding subjects you care about from other Users. Our Services also allow you to improve your understanding of a subject or learn a new skill. We use the information about you to recommend relevant content across our Services, suggest skills and capabilities you may have to add to your profile and courses you might need to pursue your next challenge. So, if you let us know you are interested in a new skill (eg watching a learning video), we may use this information to personalize content in your feed, suggest that you follow certain members on our site, or watch related learning content to help you towards that new skill. We use your content, activity and other data, including your name and picture, to provide notices to your network and others. For example, subject to your settings, we may notify others that you have updated your profile, posted a question, took an action, made new connections or were recognized.

Communications
We will contact you via email, notices posted on our websites or apps, messages to your inbox, and other ways through our Services, including text messages and push notifications. We will send you messages about the availability of our Services, network updates, reminders and promotional messages from us and our partners. Please be aware that you cannot opt out of receiving service messages from us, including security and legal notices.
We also enable communications between you and others through our Services, including for example invitations, groups and messages between connections.

Advertising
We target (and measure performance of) advertisements to Members, Visitors and others both on and off of our Services through a variety of advertising networks and exchanges, using the following data, whether separately or combined :
Data from advertising technologies on and off of our Services; like web beacons, pixels, ad tags, cookies, and device identifiers;
Member – provided information (eg contact information, location, grade and institution)
Data from your use of our Services (eg search history, feed, content you read, who you follow or is following you, connections, groups participation, page visits, videos you watch, clicking on an advertisement, banner etc.), including as described elsewhere in this document
Information from others (eg advertising partners, publishers and data aggregators)
Information inferred from data described above
We will show you advertisements called sponsored content which look similar to non-sponsored content, except that they are labeled ads or sponsored. If you take action (such as like, comment or share) on these ads, your action is associated with your name and viewable by others, including the ad provider.
Advertisement Choices
We adhere to self-regulatory principles for interest-based advertising and participate in industry opt outs from such advertisements. This does not opt you out of receiving advertising – you will continue to get generic advertisements or advertisements by advertisers not listed with these self regulatory tools. You can also opt out specifically from interest-based advertising served through our platform for third parties.
Information to Advertisers
We do not share your personal data with any third-party advertisers or (other than hashed or device identifiers, to the extent they are personal data in some countries) advertisement networks for their advertising without your separate permission. However, if you click on an advertisement, the advertisement poster will know you visited the page that you clicked on. Also, advertising partners can associate personal data collected by the advertiser directly from you with our cookies and similar technologies. In such instances, we seek to contractually require such advertisers to obtain your explicit, opt-in consent before doing so.

How We Share Information
Our Services

Your profile is fully visible to all Members and customers of our Services.Your settings, degree of connection with the viewing Member, the subscriptions they may have, their usage of our Services, access channels and search types (e.g., by name or by keyword) impact the availability of your profile and certain fields.

Posts, Likes, Follows, Comments, Messages
Our Services allow viewing and sharing information including through posts, follows, likes and comments.

When you share a post (e.g., an update, video or blog), the default (which you can change) is to share it publicly. Others who are not your connections will be able to find (including through search engines) and see your post.
When you like, comment on or share another’s post, others will see it, including the person who initiated the post.
In a group, posts are visible to others in the group. Your membership in groups is public and part of your profile unless you change the default settings.
We let senders know when you act on their message, subject to your settings where applicable.
Others’ Services
When you opt to link your account with other services, personal data will become available to them. The sharing and use of that personal data will be described in, or linked to, a consent screen when you opt to link the accounts. For example, you may link your Twitter or Facebook account to share content from our Services into these other services, or your email provider may give you the option to upload your contacts into its own service. You may revoke the link with such accounts.
Subject to your settings, excerpts from your profile will appear on the services of others (e.g., search engine results, mail and calendar applications. “Old” profile information remains on these services until they update their data cache with changes you made to your profile.

Related Services
We will share your personal data with our affiliates to provide and develop our Services. We combine information internally across the different Services covered by this Privacy Policy.

We use others to help us provide our Services (e.g., maintenance, analysis, audit, payments, fraud detection, marketing and development). They will have access to your information as reasonably necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated to not to disclose or use it for other purposes.
Legal Disclosures

We attempt to notify Members about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.
Change in Control or Sale
We can also share your personal data as part of a sale, merger or change in control, or in preparation for any of these events. Any other entity which buys us or part of our business will have the right to continue to use your data, but only in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy unless you agree otherwise.
