CorporateGrapevine Principles
We built CorporateGrapevine to make it easy to share information with your professional colleagues and be informed about news and events around you in different corporate houses.We understand you may not want everyone in the world to have the information you share on CorporateGrapevine; that is why we give you control of your information. Our default privacy settings limit the information displayed in your profile to your networks and other reasonable community limitations that we tell you about. CorporateGrapevine follows two core principles:
1. You should have control over your personal information.
CorporateGrapevine helps you share information with your friends and people
around you. You choose what information you put in your profile, your professional details,
including contact and personal information, pictures, interests and corporate forums you join. And
you control the users with whom you share that information through the privacy settings on the My
Privacy page.
2. You should have access to the information others want to share.
There is an increasing amount of information available out there, and you may
want to know what relates to you, your professional colleagues, friends, and people around you.
We want to help you easily get that information.Sharing information should be easy. And we want to provide you with the privacy tools necessary to control how and with whom you share that information. If you have questions or ideas, please send them to admin@corporategrapevine.com 1. Introduction and General Terms 2. What information will CorporateGrapevine collect about me? 3.
