PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to WorkFile LLC (the "Company") and workfile.org (the "Website") and governs the collection and usage of information. For the purposes of this Policy, unless otherwise noted, all references to the Company include the Website. The Company helps its customers create and share work-related profiles and receive messages from viewers of the profiles. The Company also helps users of the Website view the profiles and send messages to members. By using the Website or associated services, you consent to the practices described in this Policy.

In order to better provide you with the services offered, the Company may collect personally identifiable information, such as your full name, city of residence, email address, work samples, and work-related biographical information (e.g., employers, job titles, service projects, schools attended, etc.). If you purchase the Company's services, we may collect billing and credit card information. This information is used to complete the purchase transaction.

Please keep in mind that your profile is public. If you disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive information in your profile, this information may be collected and used by others.

We do not collect any personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. However, you may be required to provide certain personal information to us when you elect to use certain services. This may include: (a) registering for an account, (b) sending us an email message, or (c) submitting your credit card or other payment information when purchasing services. We will use your information for, but not limited to, communicating with you in relation to your purchased services. We also may gather additional personal or non-personal information in the future.

The Company collects and uses your personal information in the following ways: (a) to operate and to deliver the services you have requested, (b) to provide you with information, products, or services that you request, (c) to provide you with notices about your account, (d) to carry out the Company's obligations and to enforce the Company's rights arising from any contracts entered between you and the Company, (e) to notify you about changes to the Website, (f) to inform you of other products or services available from the Company and its affiliates, (g) in any other way we may describe when you provide the information, and (h) for any other purpose with your consent.

The Company does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties.

The Company may share your personal information with trusted partners to help perform statistical analysis, to send you email or postal mail, to provide customer support, to generate content for your profile, or to arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to the Company, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your personal information.

The Company may disclose your personal information, without notice, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or to comply with legal process served on the Company, (b) to protect and defend the rights or property of the Company, or (c) to act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of the Company's customers or the public.

The Company strives to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Subject to certain exceptions set out below, on receipt of a verifiable request from you, we will delete your personal information from our records and direct any service providers to delete your personal information from their records.
