PRIVACY NOTICE
Strategic-Network ("SN") is committed to safeguarding your privacy online.

This privacy statement explains data collection and practices of SN. By accessing SN's website, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy.


SN's Philosophy on Privacy
We believe your privacy is our top most concern and this permeates throughout the whole architecture and design of Strategic-Network. At SN, we adhere strictly to the following principles to protect your privacy:
. We will not rent or sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes
. We will not share your contact information with another user, unless both of you choose to contact one another
. Any sensitive information that you provide will be secured with industry standard protocols and technology applicable


SN's Philosophy on Choices
Within SN, you will be given the freedom of choice, opt-in functions, of how you may like to be communicated, your business profile, your privacy settings, your proxy selection, your contacts setting as well as mode of communication at any point in time. (Please do note that some of the more advanced controls and settings are provided to the paying users only)


WHAT DOES THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVER?
This Privacy Policy covers SN's treatment of personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") that SN gathers when you access SN's website. Also, this Policy covers SN's treatment of Personal Information that business partners share with SN. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that SN does not own or control, or to individuals that SN does not employ or manage.


COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Registration
In order to become an SN user, you must first create an account on this web site. To create an account you are required to provide the following information of your personal identifiable information (i.e name, designation, company, email address, country of residence, language preference, mobile phone number), professional background & networking objectives, and choose a password.


Your Personal Contacts
You may also choose to manually enter or upload data about your contacts into a private "contact" section of our website. All information entered there will only be viewable by you and will not be searchable by others in the SN network without your permission.

All information that you enter or upload about your contacts will be covered by the same terms of this privacy policy as cover by your own personally identifiable information.


Your IP Address
The Site may collect certain information about your visit, such as the name of the Internet service provider, the date and time you access the Site and the Internet Protocol (IP) address through which you access the Internet , the pages you access and the Internet address of the Web site from which you linked directly to our site. This information is used to help improve SN Site, analyze trends, and administer SN Site.


USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Agents
SN occasionally employs other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and sometimes need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. Examples include sending e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. Unless we tell you differently, SN agents do not have any right to use Personal Information we share with them beyond the scope of their assistance to SN.


3rd Party Advertisement
SN may choose to deploy advertising on the service that is delivered to users through a third party's advertising server. Information about users' visits to SN, such as number of times they have viewed an ad (but no personal identifiable information), would be used to serve ads to users on this site.


Postings by Third Parties and Hyperlinks to Third Party Websites
This Site contains hyperlinks to other websites which are neither maintained nor controlled by SN, or may contain content posted on or via the Site by third parties. Therefore, SN shall not be responsible for any errors or omissions in any content in the Site, or the content, products or services of any hyperlinked website or any hyperlink contained in a hyperlinked web site, nor for the privacy and security practices employed by these other website, and shall not be liable for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any content posted or contained in e-mails or otherwise transmitted or displayed via the Site, or arising from access to those websites. Use of the Site and any hyperlinks and access to such hyperlinked websites are entirely at your own risk. You acknowledge that SN has no control over and excludes all liability for any material on the Internet which can be accessed by using the Site. Neither can we be deemed to have endorsed the content.


Business Transfers
Customer information is one of the business assets that may be transferred if SN elects to buy or sell assets. Moreover, if SN, or substantially all of its assets or business, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that SN goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, customer information would be one of the assets that could be transferred to a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any successor to SN may continue to use your Personal Information as set forth in this policy.


Protection of Company and Others
We may release Personal Information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with the law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of SN, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.


SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Your SN account and Personal Information is protected by password for your privacy and security. However, it is important that you protect against unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account.

Please be aware that whenever members voluntarily disclose personal information online - e.g., message boards, chat areas, file uploads, events, and listings - that information becomes public and can be collected and used by others. By posting personal information online in public forums, members may receive unsolicited messages from other parties.

CHANGES IN OUR PRIVACY POLICY
SN may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Use of information we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used. If we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you either via email or by posting an announcement on our website.
