Choices for personal information

When you sign up for a particular service that requires registration, we ask you to provide personal information. If we intend to use this information in a manner different than the purpose for which it was collected, then we will ask for your consent prior to such use.

If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of the use of personal information for those other purposes. We will not collect or use sensitive information for purposes other than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent. You can decline to submit personal information to any of our services, in which case Collaborationstudios.com may not be able to provide those services to you.

Information sharing

Collaborationstudios.com only shares personal information with other companies or individuals outside of Collaborationstudios.com in the following limited circumstances:

Information security

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data. We restrict access to personal information to Collaborationstudios.com employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.

Data integrity

Collaborationstudios.com processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal information needed to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary.

Accessing and updating personal information

When you use Collaborationstudios.com services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort. Some of our services may have different procedures to access, correct or delete users' personal information. We may provide the details for these procedures in the specific privacy notices or FAQs for these services.

Enforcement

Collaborationstudios.com regularly reviews its compliance with this Policy. Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns regarding this Policy or Collaborationstudios.com's treatment of personal information by contacting us through our web site or by emailing us at: Info@CollaborationNetworks.net.

When we receive formal written complaints at this email address, it is Collaborationstudios.com's policy to contact the complaining user regarding his or her concerns. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between Collaborationstudios.com and an individual.

Changes to this policy

Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Policy arbitrarily or without providing an opportunity for you to revoke your consent, and we expect most such changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Policy changes on our web site and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Policy changes or notification of a Policy changes upon user login). Each version of this Policy will be identified at the top of the page by its effective date, and we will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.
