Information collected from cookies and similar technologies
We may receive information from cookies, which are pieces of data your browser stores and sends back to us when making requests, and similar technologies. We use this information to improve your experience, understand user activity, personalize content and advertisements, and improve the quality of our Services. For example, we store and retrieve information about your preferred language and other settings
Location information
We may receive and process information about your location. For example, with your consent, we may collect information about the specific location of your mobile device (for example, by using GPS or Bluetooth). We may also receive location information from you when you choose to share such information on our Services, including by associating your company’s office with a location, or we may derive your approximate location from other information about you, including your IP address.
Information Collected from Other Sources
We may receive information about you from other sources, including from other users and third parties, and combine that information with the other information we have about you. For example, we may receive demographic or interest information about you from third parties, including advertisers (such as the fact that an advertiser is interested in showing you an ad), and combine it with our own data using a common account identifier such as a hash of an email address or a mobile-device ID..
Linked services
If you authorize or link a third-party service (e.g., an unofficial mobile app client) to access your PeersNation account, PeersNation receives information about your use of that service when it uses that authorization. Linking services may also cause the other service to send us information about your account with that service. For example, if you sign in to PeersNation with a third-party identity provider, that provider may share an email address with us. Information sharing with linked services is described later in this section.
Information collected from integrations
We also may receive information about you, including log and usage data and cookie information, from third-party sites that integrate our Services, including our embeds and advertising technology. For example, when you visit a site that uses PeersNation embeds, we may receive information about the web page you visited. Similarly, if an advertiser incorporates PeersNation’s ad technology, Peersnation may receive limited information about your activity on the advertiser’s site or app, such as whether you bought something from the advertiser. You can control how we use this information to personalize the Services for you as described in Your Choices – Controlling Advertising and Analytics below.
Information Collected by Third Parties
Embedded content
PeersNation displays some linked content in-line on the PeersNation services via “embeds.” For example, PeersNation posts that link to YouTube or Twitter may load the linked video or tweet within PeersNation directly from those services to your device so you don’t have to leave PeersNation to see it. In general, PeersNation does not control how third-party services collect data when they serve you their content directly via these embeds. As a result, embedded content is not covered by this privacy policy but by the policies of the service from which the content is embedded.
Audience measurement
We partner with audience measurement companies (Such as Google Analytics, Mixpanel) to learn demographic information about the population that uses PeersNation. To provide this demographic information, these companies collect cookie information to recognize your device.

We offer social sharing features that let you share content or actions you take on our Services with other media. Your use of these features enables the sharing of certain information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the third party that provides the social sharing feature. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the third parties that provide these social sharing features (e.g., Linkedin, Tumblr, Facebook, and Twitter).
We do not sell your personal information. However, in addition to the personal information that is displayed publicly as described above, we may share personal information in the
following ways:
With your consent. We may share information about you with your consent or at your direction.
With linked services. If you link your PeersNation account with a third-party service, PeersNation will share the information you authorize with that third-party service. You can control this sharing as described in Your Choices below.
With our service providers. We may share information with vendors, consultants, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work for us. Their use of personal data will be subject to appropriate confidentiality and security measures. A few examples: (i) payment processors who process transactions on our behalf, (ii) cloud providers who host our data and our services, (iii) third-party ads measurement providers who help us and advertisers measure the performance of ads shown on our Services.
To comply with the law. We may share information in response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, including, but not limited to, meeting national security or law enforcement requirements. To the extent the law allows it, we will attempt to provide you with prior notice before disclosing your information in response to such a request..
In an emergency. We may share information if we believe it’s necessary to prevent imminent and serious bodily harm to a person.
To enforce our policies and rights. We may share information if we believe your actions are inconsistent with our User Agreement, rules, or other PeersNation policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of ourselves and others.
With our affiliates. We may share information between and among PeersNation, and any of our parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and other companies under common control and ownership.
Aggregated or de-identified information. We may share information about you that has been aggregated or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably be used to identify you. For example, we may show the total number of times an employee was helpful without identifying who the Job Seekers were, or we may tell an advertiser how many people saw their ad

Your Name and Company Name and possibly other information will appear in many communications you initiate through our Services (for example, an invitation sent to a non-Member). Messages you initiate may also provide the recipient with aggregate information about your activity or other information regarding you (for example how many people found an employee helpful).
