Privacy Policy
November 2007
Six Degrees is dedicated to protecting your personal information and keeping
you informed about how we handle it. This privacy policy only applies
to transactions and activities in which you engage, and data gathered,
on Six Degrees ("Six Degrees", "sixdeg.com", “6.dabbledb.com”,
the "site" or "website", the "Six Degrees Service",
or "Service") through your completing Six Degrees online forms
and email campaigns conducted on behalf of our clients and candidates..
Please review this privacy policy periodically as we may modify it from
time to time. Each time you visit the site or provide us with information,
by doing so you are accepting the practices described in this privacy
policy at that time.
Information Collected by Six Degrees
Our resume, profile and anonymous registration forms requires you to
give us certain information such as your name, email address and resume
information. You may always choose not to provide such Personally Identifiable
Information; however, this may limit our ability to provide you with a
specific service or particular content.
We may also collect demographic and other data, which may include Personally
Identifiable Information. This information is provided by you, and you
have the choice whether or not to input information about yourself.
Demographic information is divided into two categories: 1) "non-public
information", which consists of personal or financial information
and one-on-one communications between you and other users of the Site;
and 2) "public information", which consists of all other demographic
information. We ask that you do not enter personal information or financial
information into your "Profile." Please note that nowhere on
the Site do we knowingly collect personal information from children under
the age of 16, as we require that all users represent to us that they
are at least 16 years old.
Candidate Profile
If you choose to build a Candidate Profile you will be required to register
with the Personally Identifiable Information indicated above.
You will also be able to enter information regarding your skills, experience
and interests that will allow other Users to search for people like you.
By default, your Profile will be public and available to Users of Six
Degrees, sixdeg.com, 6.dabbledb.com and anyone else who searches the Internet
for public information. Six Degrees reserves the right to distribute your
profile information, or parts thereof, in marketing materials and communications
in the media, in publications online and offline.
Six Degrees may use your Profile information to match you to various job
opportunities or users. Once presented with the opportunity, you can choose
whether to make contact with the matched user(s) or act on the job opportunity
or to have Six Degrees act as your representative in contacting the user
or client.
Use of Information by Six Degrees
We use the collected Personally Identifiable Information to verify you
and to contact you in connection with your transactions, postings and
other activities on the site, to forward to you messages from other Users,
to communicate with you about Job opportunities of interest to you and
to operate Six Degrees services.
Each communication we send to you, other than communications sent to you
for the sole purpose of addressing a technical or operational issue regarding
the Six Degrees service, will give you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving
further such communications from us.
Use of our referral service to tell a friend about our site or a job opportunity,
or to participate in a referral chain, requires that you enter your friend’s
email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email
inviting him or her to visit the site or view the opportunity. Six Degrees
stores this information to send this one-time email, to register a friend
connection if your invitation is accepted, and to track the success of
the Six Degrees referral program. Your friend may contact us at Six Degrees
to request that we remove this information from view in our active database
(Please use Six Degrees Privacy in the subject line).
Six Degrees uses your Personally Identifiable Information to help us provide
you with personalized content, advertising, and commercial messages (collectively,
"Content").
Six Degrees does reserve the right to share your Personally Identifiable
Information with its parent, subsidiary or affiliated entities ("affiliated
entities" are those companies owned or controlled by Six Degrees'
parent company).
Other users may be able to view the information that you provide on your
Profile.
Other users may choose to contact you. However, to ensure your privacy,
Six Degrees will not display or give out your email address or any other
contact information to other users on the site.
When We May Disclose Your Information
Six Degrees may disclose your Personally Identifiable Information or
the contents of your private communications if required to do so by law
or court order. Your Personally Identifiable Information may also be disclosed
if necessary in order to complete a transaction such as the fulfillment
of an order or purchase placed by you or before sending your personal
information to a client.
Six Degrees will in no way disclose the contents of your Six Degrees communications
other than to the intended recipient(s) unless required (1) by law or
court order, (2) to protect Six Degrees's rights and property, (3) to
protect against unauthorized use of the Six Degrees site, and (4) during
emergencies such as when we believe someone's physical safety is at risk.
Also, certain technical processing of messages and their content may be
required to: (1) send and receive messages; (2) conform to connecting
networks' technical requirements; (3) conform to the limitations of the
Service; or (4) conform to other similar requirements.
It is possible that as we continue to develop the Six Degrees website
and business, Six Degrees and/or related assets may be acquired. In such
a transaction, customer information may be transferred to the acquiring
entity.
Changes to Privacy Policy
Six Degrees reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at its sole
discretion. If we make any substantive changes to the policy in the future
with regard to how we use your information, we will notify registered
users through an email.
Your continued use of the site after the changes are posted constitutes
your agreement to the changes with regard to information collected in
the past and in the future from you. If you do not agree to the changes,
you may opt-out as described below.
