It is your choice whether to invite someone to our Services or register with a partner. When you invite someone to connect with you, your invitation will include your basic profile information (e.g., name, job title, summary data). We will send invitation reminders to the person you invited.

Visitors have choices about how we use their data.

Our Services allow you to stay informed about relevant topics from your registered support partners. Our Services also allow you to improve your professional skills, or learn new ones. We use the data we have about you (e.g., data you provide, data we collect from your engagement with our Services and inferences we make from the data we have about you), to personalize our Services for you, such as by suggesting skills you could add to your profile and skills that you might need to pursue your next opportunity. If you let us know that you are interested in a new skill (e.g., by watching a learning video), we will use this information to suggest related learning content to help you towards that new skill.

Our Services allow you to explore careers, evaluate educational opportunities, and seek out, and be found for, career opportunities. Your profile can be found by those looking to hire (for a job or a specific task). We will use your data to recommend jobs or mentees, show you and others relevant professional contacts (e.g., who work at a company, in an industry, function or location or have certain skills). We will use your data to recommend jobs to you and you to recruiters. We may use automated systems to provide content and recommendations to help make our Services more relevant to our Members, Visitors and customers.
