BIIPMI PRIVACY POLICY

Introduction:

The mission of biipmi is to create an echo-system where individuals can enhance their employability effectively.

Being part of biipmi means sharing information about yourself with other professionals, communicating with them, as well as working privately on your own. By default, your account is set up to share the information that we have found the vast majority of our Users are interested in sharing. But the amount and type of information you decide to share, and with whom you share it, is up to you.

Here are the three main types of information on Biipmi:

Information about yourself that you share. This is the information that your connections, other professionals, and companies see about you. This includes your profile and your contributions to discussions on biipmi Cliques, Groups, or other community features biipmi may offer such as “Profile Stats” which, if you choose to opt-in, can show you who viewed your profile (and will show others when you visited their profiles). You have control over what you share, and you can update information at any time.

 

Communication. We help you communicate with connections and other professionals. Some of this is one-to-one, some of it is in groups, and some of it is public discussion. You decide how much or how little you wish to communicate to individuals or groups.

 

Private activity. We also provide tools that you can use privately on biipmi (for example, creating portfolio entries, searching, or adding notes to your connections information.) These actions and information are private and we don't share or distribute them to others on the website.

 

Of course, maintaining your trust is our top concern, so we adhere to the following principles to protect your privacy:

·                 We do not rent, sell, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable information to third parties without your consent, except as described in this policy or as required by law.

·                 We do not share any information you have not chosen to display on your biipmi profile to other parties, unless compelled by law, or as necessary to enforce our User Agreement or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of biipmi, its Users, and the public.

·                 All information that you provide will be protected with industry standard protocols and technology.

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by means of a notice on our home page so that you may access and review the changes to this document in advance of your continued use of the service. If you object to any changes, you may close your account. By continuing to use the biipmi service after notice of changes has been sent to you or published on the Biipmi website, you are consenting to the changes.

 

Please read this policy and send us questions, concerns and suggestions in you feel there is a need.

What biipmi’s Privacy Policy Covers:

1.                Information collected by biipmi.

2.                How biipmi uses your information.

3.                Your information choices.

4.                Your obligations as a User.

5.                Security.

6.                How to contact us.

1.               Information Collected

The mission of biipmi is to create an echo-system where individuals can enhance their employability effectively. To achieve this mission, biipmi makes features and functionality available through our website, including our mobile and other applications, developer platform, premium services, and other information provided as part of the biipmi services (“Services”) to enable professionals to develop, maintain and enhance a network of contacts, seek experts and consultants, fill job opportunities, create, share, and distribute information in collaboration with one another. By joining biipmi, you voluntarily and willingly provide biipmi Pte Ltd in Republic of Singapore, Singapore, certain information, including personally identifiable information, which we collect in order to provide the Services. If you have any hesitation about providing information to us and/or having your information displayed on the biipmi website or otherwise used in any manner permitted in this Privacy Policy and the User Agreement, you should not become a member of the biipmi community; and, if you are already a member, you should close your account.

We collect your personal information in the following ways:

A.                       Registration

In order to become a User, you must provide us the following information to create an account: name, email address and password. Without this minimal amount of information, you cannot create a biipmi account. Like other passwords, you should choose one that is known only by you. biipmi requests other information from you during the registration process, (e.g., gender, location, etc.) that biipmi uses to provide better, more customized services such as language-specific profile pages and updates, better ads, and more valuable career opportunities. You acknowledge that this information is personal to you, and by creating an account on Biipmi, you allow others, including biipmi, to identify you and to allow biipmi to use your information in accordance with our User Agreement.

B.                       Profile Information

Once you become a User, you may provide additional information to your biipmi Profile describing your skills, professional experiences, educational background, recommendations from other biipmi Users, group memberships, and social networking objectives (among other options). Providing additional information about yourself beyond what is minimally required at registration is entirely up to you, but providing additional information enables you to derive more benefit from biipmi and your professional network by helping you build your professional branding identity and leverage your professional network and facilitating your search for professional resources, information, and new opportunities. Any information you provide at registration or in the Profile section may be used by biipmi as described in the User Agreement and this Privacy Policy, including for the purpose of allowing professional opportunities to find you on biipmi, or for serving more relevant advertisements on biipmi. Learn more about biipmi’s advertising practices by reading this privacy policy, in particular Sections 1.H, 2.J, and 2.K. If you decide not to share certain information, you may not receive the full benefit of being a biipmi User.

C.                      Contacts Information

In order to connect with others on biipmi, you may use the Services to send invitations either to their biipmi profiles or email addresses of people you know if they have not registered with biipmi. The names and email addresses of people whom you invite will be used to send your invitations and reminders as well as to allow biipmi to help expand your network. Please note that when you send an invitation to connect to another User, that User will have access to your email address because it is displayed in the invitation. Your biipmi connections will also have access to your email address. You may not invite anyone you do not know and trust to connect with you.

You may also choose to manually enter or upload data about your contacts to the “Contacts” section of your account on biipmi. Information entered into Contacts is only viewable by you. By providing email addresses or other information of non-Users to biipmi, you represent that you have authority to do so. All information that you enter or upload about your contacts is covered by the User Agreement and this Privacy Policy and will enable us to provide customized services such as suggesting people to connect with on biipmi.

D.                      Customer Service

We collect information when you interact with biipmi’s customer service in order to accurately categorize and respond to customer inquiries and investigate breaches of our terms.

E.                       Using the biipmi Site and Applications

We receive information when you interact with and use the biipmi website, biipmi Applications (e.g. biipmi for iPhone, Android, etc.), and biipmi platform technology (such as “Shout on Scriin”). For example, we know when you click on ads, upload your address book, join groups, participate in polls, install a biipmi mobile application, share articles on biipmi, etc.

F.                       Using Third Party Services and Visiting Third Party Sites

We receive information when you use your biipmi account to log in or authenticate to a third-party website or application. Also, if you are logged into biipmi and visit a third party site that embeds biipmi professional plugins, like “Shout on Scriin”, biipmi will receive information that those pages have loaded in your web browser. biipmi will use this information to personalize the biipmi-provided functionality, including providing you insights from your Biipmi network, allowing you to share information with your network, enabling you to use biipmi functionality off the biipmi site and serving you more relevant advertising. Users wishing to disable this personalization may opt-out of this feature. biipmi’s retention of this data is addressed in Section 1.K.

G.                      Cookies

Like most websites, we use cookies and web log files to track site usage and trends, to improve the quality of our service, to customize your experience on biipmi, as well as to deliver biipmi and third-party advertising to Users both on and off the biipmi site. A cookie is a tiny data file that resides on your computer, mobile phone, or other device, and allows us to recognize you as a User when you return to the biipmi website using the same computer and web browser. You can remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases doing so may impact your ability to use biipmi to its full capability. One type of cookie, known as a “persistent” cookie, is set once you’ve logged in to your biipmi account. The next time you visit the biipmi website, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognize you as an existing User so you will not need to log in before using the Services. In order to access or change any of your private information (like a credit card number) or to send a message to another User, however, you must log in securely again with your password even if your computer contains your persistent cookie. Another type of cookie, called a “session” cookie, is used to identify a particular visit to the biipmi website. Session cookies expire after a short time or when you close your web browser. Other technology like Macromedia’s flash can be used to place the functional equivalent of a cookie on your computer. You can control flash “local stored objects” or “flash cookies” using the Macromedia Website Privacy Settings Panel at www.macromedia.com. biipmi may use cookie-equivalent technology for the limited purpose of enhancing the security of biipmi's services.

In the course of serving advertisements or optimizing the Services to our Users, we may allow authorized third parties to place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. Any information provided to third parties through cookies will not be personally identifiable but may provide general segment information (e.g., your industry or geography, career field, or information about your professional or educational background) for the enhancement of your user experience by providing more relevant advertising. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. biipmi does not store unencrypted personally identifiable information in the cookies.

H.                      Advertising and Web Beacons

To support the Services we provide at no cost to our Users, as well as provide a more relevant and useful experience for our Users, we target and serve our own ads and third-party ads both on and off the site using ad networks. Ad networks include third party ad servers, ad agencies, ad exchanges, ad technology vendors and research firms.

We target ads to Users based on general profile categories (e.g., “product managers in Bedok”) or on non-personally identifiable information inferred from a User’s profile (e.g., industry, current or former company, school, compensation bracket, gender, age, ethnic origin, nationality, or other aspects of your life) in addition to a User’s use of biipmi or their clicking on biipmi ad inventory. biipmi does not provide personally identifiable information to any third party ad network.

We use ad technology such as web beacons, pixels, anonymous ad network tags, and cookies to more effectively serve ads to our Users on and off biipmi through ad networks, as well as to collect anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for advertisers. Because your web browser requests advertisements and web beacons directly from ad network servers, these networks can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.

You may opt-out of ads served to you off biipmi. If you opt-out you may lose certain functionality of the biipmi Services, as well as the potential benefit of receiving ads that are targeted to your interests which, in turn, may limit your ability to fully realize the benefits of the biipmi Services to build and leverage your professional network.

I.                         Log files, IP Addresses and information about your computer and mobile device

Due to the communications standards on the internet, when you visit the biipmi website we automatically receive the URL of the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave biipmi. Additionally, advertisers receive the URL of the page you were on when you click on an ad on biipmi. biipmi also receives the internet protocol (“IP”) address of your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer operating system and type of web browser you are using, email patterns, your mobile device (including your UDID) and mobile operating system (if you are accessing Biipmi using a mobile device), as well as the name of your ISP or your mobile carrier. biipmi may also receive location data passed to it from third-party services or GPS-enabled devices that you have enabled. Also, as described above in Sections 1.E. and 1.F., biipmi receives information when you access web pages containing biipmi interactive plugins, such as “Shout on Scriin” functionality. You can control the collection and use of this information in Settings. The link between your IP address and your personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties without your permission, except as described in Section 2.L (“Compliance with Legal Process”), below.

J.                        Rights to Access, Correct and Eliminate Information About You

You have a right to access, modify, correct and eliminate the data you supplied to biipmi. If you update any of your information, we may keep a copy of the information that you originally provided to us in our archives for uses documented in this policy. You may request deletion of your information at any time by contacting biipmi customer service. We will respond to your request within 30 days. Please note, however that information you have shared with others, or that other Users have copied, may also remain visible even if you request its deletion.

K.                      Data Retention

biipmi will retain your information for so long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. If you wish to close your account, you may do so. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce this Agreement.

2.               Uses of personal information

A.                       Consent to biipmi Processing Information About You

The information you provide to biipmi may reveal, or allow others to identify, your nationality, ethnic origin, gender, age, and other aspects of your life. By providing information to us for the purposes of creating your User account or adding any additional details to your biipmi profile, you are expressly and voluntarily accepting the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and biipmi’s User Agreement that allow biipmi to process information about you. Supplying information to biipmi, including any information deemed “sensitive” by applicable law, is entirely voluntary on your part. You have the right to withdraw your consent to biipmi’s collection and processing of your information at any time, in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy and the User Agreement, by changing your Settings, or by closing your account.

B.                       biipmi Communications

As described in the User Agreement, we will communicate with you through email, notices posted on the biipmi website, messages to your biip box, or through other means available through the service, including mobile text messages. We may send you a series of emails that help inform new Users about the features of the Services, and we will also send you service messages relating to the functioning of the Services. We may also send you messages with promotional information directly or on behalf of our partners, unless you have opted out of receiving promotional information.

You can change your e-mail and contact preferences at any time by logging into your account and changing your settings related to your email notification choices. If you wish, you can also opt-out of receiving promotional emails by sending a request to biipmi customer service through our customer service.

 

Please be aware that you cannot opt-out of receiving service messages from biipmi. Also, if we send communications to you via the carrier service with which you have a mobile communications subscription or otherwise have access, you understand you will pay any service fees associated with your receipt of messages on your mobile device (including text messaging charges).

C.                      User Communications

Many communications you initiate through biipmi (e.g., an invitation sent to a non-User) will list your primary email address and name in the header of the message. Messages you initiate may also provide aggregate information about your network (for instance how many people are in your network), but will not list the people to whom you’re directly connected. Other communications that you initiate through the biipmi website, like a request for an introduction, will list your name as the initiator but will not include your personal email address contact information. Your contact information will only be shared with another User if both of you have indicated that you would like to establish contact with each other.

D.                      Customized Content

We use information you provide to us (or to third parties with whom Biipmi offers combined services) to customize your experience on our website. For example, when you login to your account, we will display the names of new Users who have recently joined your network or recent status updates from your connections.

E.                       Sharing Information with Third Parties

biipmi takes the privacy of our Users very seriously, and we do not sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable information to third parties, except as described in this policy. We will also not share other personal information not published to your profile or generated through engagement with other biipmi services (Cliques, Groups, Company Pages, etc.) without your explicit consent or to carry out your instructions (for example, to process payment information) unless, disclosure is reasonably necessary in our opinion to: (1) comply with legal process, including, but not limited to, civil and criminal subpoenas, court orders or other compulsory disclosures; (2) enforce this Agreement; (3) respond to claims of a violation of the rights of third parties, whether or not the third party is a User, individual, or government agency; (4) respond to customer service inquiries; or (5) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of biipmi, our Users or the public.

biipmi offers a “public profile” feature that allows Users to publish portions of their biipmi profile to the public internet. This public profile will be crawled by and displayed through search engines when someone searches for your name. You may opt-out of this feature by editing your account settings; however, biipmi does not warrant how often third-party search engines will update their caches, which may contain old public profile information.

Content distributed through biipmi’s sharing features and third party integrations may result in displaying some of your information outside of biipmi. For example, when you post content to a biipmi Group that is open for public discussion, your content, including your name as the contributor, may be displayed in search engine results.

We may provide aggregated anonymous data about the usage of the Services to third parties for purposes that we deem, in our sole discretion, to be appropriate, including to prospective advertisers on biipmi.

F.                       Developers using biipmi Platform Services

We collaborate with and allow third parties to use biipmi’s developer platform to offer services and functionality in conjunction with and outside of biipmi. These third parties are either partners (“biipmi Partners”) with whom we have negotiated an agreement to provide services (“Combined Services”), for example, biip Apps, or developers (“Platform Developers”) who have agreed to our developer terms in order to build applications (“Platform Applications”). Both the negotiated agreements and our API terms and conditions contain restrictions on access, storage and use of your information.

If you choose to use Combined Services or a Platform Application, you may be asked to confirm acceptance of the privacy policy and/or user agreement of the biipmi Partner or Platform Developer, which have not necessarily been reviewed or approved by biipmi. It is your choice whether or not to make use of Combined Services or Platform Applications and whether to proceed under any third party terms, and once you do, the third party's terms, and not this policy, will govern how they handle information you provide to them directly or through your biipmi account.

Also, despite our agreements and technical steps taken to restrict access to and avoid possible misuse of information, we may not screen or audit all Combined Services or Platform Applications. We also cannot guarantee that any biipmi Partner or Platform Developer will abide by our agreement. You agree that your use of Combined Services or Platform Applications is on an “as is” basis and without any warranty.

If you use any Combined Service or Platform Application, the biipmi Partner or Platform Developer may access and share certain information about you, such as non-public profile information and information visible only to your connections. This includes information about your connections by virtue of you being connected to others. However, unless you have used a Combined Service or Platform Application, it can only access the information about you that is otherwise visible to other biipmi Users.

To revoke permission granted to a Combined Service or Platform Application at any time, please visit the settings page. If the relevant Platform Developer or Application, or biipmi Partner is not listed under Authorized Applications, go directly to the Application Details page for the Platform Application you wish to uninstall. Note, however, that even if you revoke the permission granted a third party, your connections, other members of your network, or other Users of biipmi may still be using the Platform Application, so the Platform Application or Combined Service may still have access to certain information about you, just as those Users do. You may opt-out of providing information to third parties through others connected to you under settings. To report any suspected misuse of information, contact biipmi’s customer service. Biipmi is not responsible for your use of or inability to use any Combined Service or Platform Application, including the content, accuracy, or reliability of applications and the privacy practices or other policies of biipmi Partners or Platform Developers.

G.                      Polls and Surveys

Polls and Surveys may be conducted by biipmi, biipmi Users or third parties. As a User, you may be invited to participate in polls and surveys from the biipmi website. Your selection may be random, or it may be based on your non-personally identifiable information, such as job title, geography, company size and/or industry. Whether or not you decide to participate in a poll or survey is completely up to you.

After you complete a poll, you will be given access to the aggregate responses of the poll on a results page. Some third parties may target advertisements to you on the results page based on your answers in the poll. Further, biipmi or third parties may follow up with you via biip box regarding your participation unless you have opted out of receiving biip box messages.

We may use third parties to deliver incentives to you to participate in surveys or polls. If the delivery of incentives requires your contact information, you may be asked to provide personally identifiable information to the third party fulfilling the incentive offer, which will only be used for the purpose of delivering incentives and/or verifying your contact information. It is up to you whether you provide this information, or whether you desire to take advantage of an incentive.

We will not disclose any personally identifiable information to any third parties in connection with the conduct of any polls or surveys. Your consent to use any personally identifiable information for the purposes set forth in the poll or survey will be explicitly requested by the party conducting it. You may opt-out of participating in Surveys by changing your settings to stop receiving these inquiries and requests.

H.                      Search

We offer search services to help find information and learn more about other Users (for example, you can search for Users with particular expertise or consulting experience, or that you may know from your industry or profession), as well as employment opportunities. biipmi search also allows Users to find other Users, jobs, companies, and contributions to the community aspects of the biipmi Services, such as Groups and Cliques that will help Users more effectively use biipmi and expand their network. We use information from User profiles and contributions to Groups, Company Pages to inform and refine our search service.

I.                         Answers, Groups, and other Services

If you post on the Answers section of biipmi, participate in biipmi Groups, or import a blog, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you choose to provide there can be read, collected, or used by other Users of these forums, as well as Platform Developers and other third parties, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. biipmi is not responsible for the information you choose to submit in these forums. Also, some content in biipmi Groups may be public and searchable on the internet if the Group owner has opened the group for public discussions. You can delete your posts to biipmi Groups at any time. However, please note that ideas you post and information you share may be seen and used by other Users, and biipmi cannot guarantee that other Users have not made copies of or use the ideas and information that you share with others on biipmi.

J.                        Testimonials and Advertisements Placed through Biipmi Ads Service

If you provide any testimonials about the biipmi Services or place advertisements through the biipmi Ads, we may post those testimonials and examples of advertisements you place in connection with our promotion of these services to third parties. Testimonials and advertisements may include your name and other personal information that you have provided.

K.                      Advertising and Endorsements on Biipmi

In order to deliver relevant and valuable ads to you and your network, biipmi may use your name and profile photo in connection with social advertising based on content shared on biipmi. This advertising may include the fact that you have recommended or endorsed a product or service on biipmi, followed a company, joined Groups or conversations, established or added content to your profile or portfolio, etc., and will only be displayed to your biipmi network. You can opt-out of allowing your name and/or profile photo to be used in social ads in settings.

L.                       Compliance with Legal Process

It is possible that we may need to disclose personal information, profile information and/or information about your activities as a biipmi User when required by subpoena or other legal process, or if biipmi has a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to (a) investigate, prevent or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies; (b) to enforce the User Agreement, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third party claims or allegations, or to protect the security or integrity of our site; and/or (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property or personal safety of biipmi, our Users, employees, or others.

M.                     Disclosures to Others as the Result of a Change in Control or Sale of Biipmi Corporation

We may also disclose your personal information and other information you provide to another third party as part of a sale of the assets of biipmi Pte Ltd, a subsidiary or division, or as the result of a change in control of the company. Any third party to which biipmi transfers or sells biipmi’s assets will have the right to continue to use the personal and other information that you provide to us.

3.               Your Information Choices

A.                       Accessing and Changing Your Account Information

You can review the personal information you provided to us and make any desired changes to the information you publish, or to the settings for your biipmi account including your email and contact preferences, at any time by logging in to your account on the biipmi website. Please be aware that even after your request for a change is processed, biipmi may, for a time, retain residual information about you in its backup and/or archival copies of its database.

B.                       Default Settings

Because the mission of biipmi is to connect the world’s professionals to enable them to become more productive and successful, we have established what we believe to be reasonable default settings that we have found most professionals desire. Because Users may use and interact with biipmi in a variety of ways, and because those uses may change over time, we designed our settings to provide our users granular control over the information they share. We encourage our Users to review their account settings and adjust them in accordance with their preferences.

biipmi accounts are also defaulted to allow Users to be contacted to participate in polls, surveys and partner advertising.

C.                      Closing Your Account

You can close your account through the biipmi site. If you close your biipmi account, we will remove your name and other personally identifiable information from our publicly viewable database. If you close your account, we have no obligation to retain your information, and may delete any or all of your account information without liability. However, we may retain certain data contributed by you if biipmi believes it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally identifiable data, account recovery, or if required by law. biipmi may also retain and use your information if necessary to provide the Services to other Users. For example, just as an email you may send to another person through an email service provider resides in that person’s inbox even after you delete it from your sent files or close your account, emails or biip box mail you send on biipmi to other Users, as well as your contributions to biipmi Cliques or Groups, may remain visible to others after you have closed your account. Similarly, other information you have shared with others, or that other Users have copied, may also remain visible. biipmi disclaims any liability in relation to the deletion or retention (subject to the terms herein) of information or any obligation not to delete the information. biipmi does not control when search engines update their cache, which may contain certain public profile information that has since been removed from biipmi’s publicly viewable database.

D.                      Memorializing Accounts

If we learn that a User is deceased, we may memorialize the User’s account. In these cases we may restrict profile access, remove messaging functionality, and close an account if we receive a formal request from the User’s next of kin or other proper legal request to do so. User WILL NOT be featured in SEARCH result as well.

4.               Your Obligations

As a User, you have certain obligations to other Users. Some of these obligations are imposed by applicable law and regulations, and others have become commonplace in user-friendly communities of like-minded members such as biipmi:

·                                 You must, at all times, abide by the terms and conditions of the then-current Privacy Policy and User Agreement. This includes respecting all intellectual property rights that may belong to third parties (such as trademarks or photographs).

·                                 You must not download or otherwise disseminate any information that may be deemed to be injurious, violent, offensive, racist or xenophobic, or which may otherwise violate the purpose and spirit of biipmi and its community of Users.

·                                 You must not provide to biipmi and/or other Users information that you believe might be injurious or detrimental to your person or to your professional or social status.

·                                 You must keep your username and password confidential and not share it with others.

Any violation of these guidelines may lead to the restriction, suspension or termination of your account at the sole discretion of biipmi.
