following contact information: name, email address, country, postal code, a brief
summary of your professional occupation, and choose a password.

Once a user, you may provide additional information in the Profile section. Providing
additional information beyond what is required at registration is entirely optional,
but enables you to better identify yourself and find new opportunities in the BUYBL system.
Information about your Contacts
In order to invite others to connect with you directly in BUYBL,
you will enter their names and email addresses. This information will be used by

addresses of people that you invite will be used only to send your invitation and

All information that you enter or upload about your contacts will be covered by
the same terms of this privacy policy as cover your own personally identifiable
information.
Cookies & Log Files:
Like most web sites, BUYBL uses cookies and web log
files to track site usage. A cookie is a tiny data file which resides on your computer
which allows BUYBL to recognize you as a user when
you return to our site using the same computer and web browser. Unfortunately, if
your browser settings do not allow cookies, you will not be able to use our website.
Like the information you enter at registration or in your Profile, cookie and log
file data is used to customise your experience on the web site.
Due to the communications standards on the Internet, when you visit the BUYBL web site we automatically receive the URL of the
site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave BUYBL. We also receive 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, as well as the
name of your ISP. This information is used to analyze overall trends to help us
improve the BUYBL service. The linkage between your
IP address and your personally identifiable information is never shared with third-parties
without your permission or except when required by law.
Children:
Children are not eligible to use our service and we ask that children (under the
age of 18) do not submit any personal information to us or use the service.
Information Use
BUYBL is an online service dedicated to helping all
types of professionals more effectively connect with one another. The personally
identifiable information you choose to provide on this site is used to help you
describe yourself to other users. Other information, that does not personally identify
you as an individual, is collected by BUYBL Ltd from
the site (such as, by way of example, patterns of utilization) and is exclusively
owned by BUYBL. This information can be utilized
by BUYBL in such manner as BUYBL,
in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
BUYBL Communications:
BUYBL will communicate with you through email and
notices posted on this website. These include a series of up to five welcome emails
which help inform new users about various features of the service. Please be aware
that you will always receive certain emails from BUYBL
related to the proper functioning of your account, such as email notices when another
user in your network sends you an opportunity.
Information Sharing
Sharing Information with Third Parties:
BUYBL takes the privacy of our users very seriously.
We will never sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable information
to any third parties for marketing purposes. We will only share your personally
identifiable with third parties to carry out your instructions and to provide specific
services. These third parties do not retain, share, or store any personally identifiable
information except to provide these services and are bound by strict confidentiality
agreements which limit their use of such information.
We may provide aggregated data about the usage of our services to third-parties
for such purposes as we deem, in our sole discretion, to be appropriate. We may
segment our users by role (i.e. product managers, vice presidents), industry, geographic
location, company. If you would like to be excluded from the aggregated research
or products based upon aggregated data about our users’ activities on the site,
please email us.
Communications between Users:
Many emails you initiate through BUYBL, an invitation
sent to a non-user for instance, will list your email address and name in the header
of the message. Emails you initiate may also provide aggregate information about
your network (for instance how many people are in your network), but will never
list the people to whom you’re directly connected. Other communications that you
initiate through the BUYBL website, like a request
for contact, will list your name as the initiator but will not include your personal
contact information.
Legal Disclaimer:
It is possible that we may need to disclose personal information when required by
law. We will disclose such information wherein we have a good-faith belief that
it is necessary to comply with a court order, ongoing judicial proceeding, or other
legal process served on our company or to exercise our legal rights or defend against
legal claims.
Accessing and Changing Your Account Information
You can review the personal information you provided us and make any desired changes
to the information, or to the settings for your BUYBL
account, at any time by logging in to your account on the BUYBL
website and editing the information on your Profile page. You can also close your
account through the BUYBL website. If you close your
BUYBL account, we will remove your name and other
personally identifiable information from our publicly viewable data. We may retain
certain data contributed by you if it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future
abuse, or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally-identifiable
data, account recovery, or if required by law. All retained data will continue to
be subject to the terms of the BUYBL Privacy Policy
that you have previously agreed to. To request that we close your account and remove
your information from the BUYBL service, please send
your request to info@buybl.net. Please send your request using an email account

BUYBL may update this privacy policy. In the event

Policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.
