We know you take your privacy seriously, so are we. Information about our users is an important part of our business and it is necessary that we collect certain information if users wish to utilize advanced NetworkDictionary (owned by Javvin Technologies, Inc.) features. We use your information only as described in this document.

This privacy policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information that NetworkDictionary/Javvin collects when you are on any NetworkDictionary/Javvin site, and using our services. This policy also covers NetworkDictionary/Javvin's treatment of any personally identifiable information that NetworkDictionary/Javvin business partners share with us as well as what happens to personal information in the unlikely event that we sell or transfers our business assets. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that NetworkDictionary/Javvin does not own or control, or to people that NetworkDictionary/Javvin does not employ or manage.

Information Collection and Use
NetworkDictionary/Javvin owns the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this privacy policy.
 
We may employ companies to act as our agent to perform specific services on our behalf. For instance, we may employ a company to distribute and manage e-mail messages on our behalf, such as in the case of newsletters and advertisements. These companies have agreed to keep user information confidential and to use it only to perform the service(s) we have employed them to perform on our behalf. Your information will not be shared or sold by these agents under any circumstances.

Creating a NetworkDictionary/Javvin User ID
NetworkDictionary/Javvin enables members to create NetworkDictionary/Javvin User IDs, which allows them to control their personal information and whether it should be made public or private. This also allows members to identify themselves with their contributions to any NetworkDictionary/Javvin Web site and to manage their NetworkDictionary/Javvin e-mail-based subscriptions. During registration, a member is required to provide his or her contact information (such as name, e-mail address, etc.), as well as some basis demographic information (such as role, title, business focus/industry, company size, purchasing influence, and company revenue). By doing so, we can provide a more personalized experience on our site. Once you register with NetworkDictionary/Javvin and sign in to our services, you are no longer anonymous to NetworkDictionary/Javvin administrators.
