Privacy Policy

What does this privacy policy aplply to?

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we process across our website and other online or offline services, collectively referred to as "Services." Your use of the Services is also governed by our Bizznessia Terms. We collect personal information from the people who interact with Bizznessia-hosted forums

Personal information we collect

We collect three types of information: (1) information that you provide to us directly, (2) information we obtain automatically when you use our Services, and (3) information we get about you from other sources (such as third-party services and organizations). More details are below.

• Account Creation (for Users): We collect name, email address and profession from users that create an account on Bizznessia.
• Interactive Features (for Users). We and other users may collect personal information you share through interactive features like messaging, comments, forums, blogs, and posts. Bizznessia has a matching profile for business partners, allowing users to share information as they wish. Private messages are only between you and the recipient, but any publicly shared information, such as posts on your profile or topics you follow, is visible to others, including recruiters and employers (not implemented yet). This public information isn't covered by our privacy protections unless legally required. Please note that Bizznessia is not responsible for any legal issues or ideas infiltration. We do not request business ideas or related information; all shared data is solely for professional business matching purposes. Be cautious when sharing information that may identify you.
• Surveys. We may reach out to invite you to participate in surveys. Participation is voluntary, and you may be asked to provide information, including personal details such as your home address.
• Business Development and Strategic Partnerships. We may collect personal information from individuals and third parties to evaluate and pursue potential business opportunities.
• Job Applications (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET). We may post job openings on our Services. If you respond by submitting your application, CV, or cover letter, we will collect and use your information to evaluate your qualifications.

Information collected automatically

We may collect personal information automatically when you use our Services:

• Cookies and Other Technologies. We, as well as third parties that provide content, advertising, or other functionality on our Services, may use cookies, local storage or other technologies ("Technologies") to automatically collect information through your use of our Services.
• Analytics. We may use Technologies and other third-party tools to process analytics information on our Services. Some of our analytics partners include Google Analytics and Cookiebot.

How we use your information

We use your information for a variety of business purposes, including to provide our Services, for administrative purposes, and to market our products and Services, as described below.

How we disclose your information

We do not disclose information that has not been properly authorized by the user, which can be managed in the account settings. By default, certain information may be shared, but users can uncheck the option to keep their information private. We may disclose your information to third parties for various business purposes, including providing our Services, protecting ourselves or others, or during significant business transactions such as mergers, sales, or asset transfers, as outlined below.

Disclosures to protect us or others

We may access, preserve, and disclose any information associated with you to external parties if we believe, in good faith, that it is necessary or appropriate to: comply with law enforcement or national security requests and legal processes, such as court orders or subpoenas; protect the rights, property, or safety of you, us, or others; enforce our policies or contracts; collect amounts owed to us; or assist with the investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity.

Your privacy choices and rights

• Email Communications. To unsubscribe from unwanted emails, use the link at the bottom of the email. You will still receive transaction-related emails for products or Services you've requested, as well as essential non-promotional communications about our Services, which you cannot opt out of (e.g., updates to our Terms or Privacy Policy).
• Mobile Devices. You can opt out of push notifications from our mobile app by adjusting your device settings.
• "Do Not Track". "Do Not Track" ("DNT") is a privacy preference available in some web browsers. Please note that we do not respond to DNT signals or similar mechanisms.
• Cookies and Interest-Based Advertising. You can manage the placement of technologies on your device by adjusting your browser or device settings. However, changing these preferences may affect the functionality of our Services. Opt-outs for cookies are not effective on mobile applications, and you must opt out separately in each browser and on each device.

• Access Personal Information: Confirm whether we are processing your personal information and obtain access to or a copy of it.
• Request Correction: Correct inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated personal information, with possible self-service tools available.
• Request Deletion, Anonymization, or Blocking: Delete or block your personal information when processing is based on your consent or is unnecessary.
• Request Restriction or Object: Restrict or object to our processing of your personal information when it is noncompliant.
• Withdraw Your Consent: Withdraw consent for processing, noting that some service features may become unavailable.
• Request Data Portability: Obtain an electronic copy of your provided personal information.
• Be Informed: Know which third parties have received your personal information.
• Request Review of Automated Decisions: Review decisions made solely based on automated processing that affect your rights.

Children's information

Our Services are not directed to individuals under 18 years old, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted personal information without your consent, please contact us as detailed in the "Contact Us" section below. Upon discovering that we have collected personal information from a minor in violation of applicable laws, we will delete that information, unless legally obligated to retain it, and terminate the child's account if necessary.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy. We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time in our sole discretion. If there are any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you as required by applicable law. You understand and agree that you will be deemed to have accepted the updated Privacy Policy if you continue to use our Services after the new Privacy Policy takes effect.
