The Information We Collect

When you visit AbizC, you provide us with two types of information: (1) personal information you knowingly choose to disclose and that is collected by AbizC and (2) website use information collected by AbizC as you interact with our Website.

When you register with ABizC, you provide certain personal information and information about your company, such as your name, email address, and any other personal or preference information.

When you enter ABizC, we collect your IP address and browser type. We use session ID cookies to confirm users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user closes the browser.  When you use ABizC, you may set up areas which include your personal and company profile, form relationships, messages, perform searches, form groups, post adverts and transmit information. We collect this information so we can provide you with a professional service while offering personalised features.

You post content on the Site at your own risk. Although we allow you to set privacy options, which limits access to specific parts of your pages, you should be aware that these security measures are not perfect. We cannot control the actions of other users with whom you may choose to share your information with. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that content you post on the Site will not be viewed by unauthorised persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of User Content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or if other users have copied or stored your content.

Any improper collection or misuse of information provided on ABizC is a violation of the ABizC Terms of Use and should be reported to support@ABizC.com .

By using ABizC, you consent to have your personal data transferred and processed within the European Union.

ABizC can not, in any way, guarantee information provided by registered members.

Use of Information Obtained by ABizC

When you register with ABizC, you create your own profile and privacy settings. Your profile information, as well as your name, email address, photo, etc, are displayed to people in the profile settings you have specified, which enables you to connect with other users.

Profile information is used by ABizC primarily to be presented and edited by you when you access the service.  It is also used as a presentation to others permitted to view your information through your profile settings. Your name, network names and profile picture will be available in search results across the ABizC network and limited pieces of information may be made available to third party search engines.

ABizC may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if a contact sends you a new personal message, you may receive an email to alert you. ABizC reserves the right to send you notices about your account, even if you opt out of voluntary email notifications.

ABizC may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties.

Sharing Your Information with Third Parties

ABizC is, to a large extent, about sharing information with others members, while providing you with profile settings that restrict other users from accessing parts of your information. We do not provide contact information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) legally required, 2) reasonably necessary to offer the service or 3) permitted by you. For example:

• We may provide information to service providers to help bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at co-location facilities for servers, to send out email updates about ABizC, to process payments for products or services, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use and for a limited time in connection with these business activities.
• Unlike most sites on the Web, ABizC limits access to site information by third party search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc). ABizC takes action to block access by these engines to personal information beyond name, blog (if any), company profile page, and limited aggregated data about your profile.
• We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, which may be in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the ABizC service or used through the ABizC name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.
• If the ownership of the ABizC business changes, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In there is any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.

When you use ABizC, certain information you post or share with third parties (e.g. someone in your network), such as personal information, comments, messages, photos, classifieds listings or other information, may be shared with other users in accordance with profile settings you select. All such sharing of information is done at your own risk.

Links and Third Party Advertising

ABizC may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by ABizC.

Advertisements that appear on ABizC are sometimes directed to users of third party advertisers. They may automatically receive your IP address when this happens. These third party advertisers may also download cookies to your computer, or use other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads or to personalise advertisement content. Doing this allows the advertising network to personalise advertising content. ABizC does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by third party advertisers. Third party advertisers have no access to your contact information stored on ABizC. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by ABizC and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers.

Changing or Removing Information

Access and control over most personal information on ABizC is available through the profile settings tool. ABizC users may modify or delete any of their profile information at any time by logging into their account. Information will be updated immediately. Individuals who wish to delete their ABizC account may do so on “My Page”. Removed information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but is not generally available to members of ABizC.

However, if you make use of the communication features of the service to share information with other individuals on AbizC (e.g. sending a personal message to another ABizC user) you cannot remove such communications.

Security

ABizC takes what we consider to be appropriate precautions to protect our users' information. Your account information is located on a secure server behind a firewall. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

Terms of Use, Notices and Revisions

Your use of ABizC, and any disputes arising from it, is subject to this Privacy Policy as well as our Terms of Use and all of its dispute resolution provisions.  This includes arbitration, limitation on damages and choice of law. We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use at any time. Non-material changes and clarifications take effect immediately, and material changes take effect within 30 days of their posting on this site. Unless stated otherwise, our current privacy policy applies to all information we have about you and your account.
