You may link your account to the Services of others so that they may view your contacts’ profiles, post your shares on such platforms, or allow you to have conversations with your connections on such platforms. Excerpts from your profile will also appear on others’ services.
Depending on your settings, other services may look up your profile. If you choose to link your account to other services, personal information will be made available to them. The sharing and use of this personal information will be described in or linked to a consent window if you choose to link the accounts. For example, you may link your Twitter or WeChat account to bring content from our services into those other services, or your email provider may give you the option to upload your t4-pro.com contacts to its own service. Third-party services have their own privacy policies, and you may give them permission to use your information in ways that we would not. You can revoke the link with such accounts.
Depending on your settings, excerpts from your profile will appear on others’ services (e.g., search engine results, mail and calendar applications that show a user limited profile information about the person they are meeting or messaging, social media aggregators, talent and lead managers). The “old” profile information will remain on these services until they update their data cache with the changes you have made to your profile.
We share your information through our various services and t4-pro.com affiliates.
We will share your personal information with our affiliates to provide and develop our services. We may combine information internally across the various Services covered by this Privacy Policy to make our Services more relevant and useful to you and others. For example, we may personalize your feed or work recommendations based on your learning history.
We may rely on others to provide our Services.
We use others to provide our services (e.g., maintenance, analytics, testing, payments, fraud detection, marketing, and development). They have access to your information as necessary to perform these functions on our behalf and are required not to disclose or use it for other purposes.
We may need to share your information if we believe it is required by law or to protect the rights and safety of you, us or others.
We may need to disclose information about you if required to do so by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activity or to assist government law enforcement authorities; (2) enforce our agreements with you; (3) investigate and defend against claims or allegations by third parties; (4) protect the security or integrity of our Services (e.g., by sharing with companies subject to similar threats); or (5) protect the rights and safety of t4-pro.com. e.g., by sharing with companies facing similar threats); or (5) exercise or protect the rights and safety of t4-pro.com, our members, employees or others. We will attempt to notify members of lawful requests for their personal information when, in our judgment, it is appropriate to do so, unless prohibited by law or court order or in the event of an emergency. We may challenge such requests if, in our judgment, we believe the requests are excessive, vague or insufficiently authorized, but we do not promise to challenge every request. For more information, please see our Data Request Policy and Transparency Report.
We may share your information if our business is sold to others, but it must continue to be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We may also share your personal information as part of a sale, merger or change of control, or in preparation for any of these events. Any other company that buys us or part of our business has the right to continue to use your information, but only in the manner set forth in this Privacy Policy, unless you otherwise consent.
We retain most of your Personal Data for as long as your account is open.
We generally retain your personal information for as long as you keep your account open or as necessary to provide services. This includes data that you or others have provided to us, as well as data generated or derived from your use of our Services. Even if you only use our services every few years when looking for a new job, we will keep your information and profile open unless you close your account. In some cases, we may choose to retain certain information (e.g., insights about how the Services are used) in a depersonalized or aggregated form.
You may access or delete your personal data. You have many choices about how your information is collected, used and shared.
We provide many ways for you to collect, use and share your information, from deleting or correcting the information you include in your profile, to controlling the visibility of your posts, to advertising opt-outs and communication controls. We provide settings for you to control and manage the personal information we have about you.

Visitors can learn more about how to make these requests here. You may also contact us using the contact information below, and we will review your request in accordance with applicable law.
Residents in Designated Countries and other regions may have additional rights under their laws.
We retain some of your data even after you close your account.
If you choose to close your t4-pro.com account, your Personal Information will generally no longer be visible to others on our Services within 24 hours. We generally delete information about closed accounts within 30 days of account closure, except as noted below.
We retain your Personal Information after your account is closed if reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including requests from law enforcement), to comply with legal requirements, to resolve disputes, to maintain security, to prevent fraud and abuse (for example, if we have restricted your account for violating our Professional Community policies), to enforce our User Agreement, or to comply with your request to “unsubscribe” from further messages from us. We retain depersonalized information after closing your account.
Information you have shared with others (e.g., through email, updates, or group posts) remains visible after you close your account or delete the information from your own profile or mailbox, and we do not control data that other members have copied from our Services. Group content and ratings or review content associated with closed accounts will show an unknown user as the source. Your profile may continue to appear in other people’s services (for example, in search engine results) until they update their cache.
We monitor and try to prevent security breaches. Please take advantage of the security features available through our Services.
We implement security measures to protect your data, such as HTTPS. We regularly monitor our systems for potential vulnerabilities and attacks. However, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you send to us. There is no guarantee that data cannot be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
We store and use your data outside of your country.
We process data both inside and outside the United States and rely on mechanisms provided by law to lawfully transfer data across borders. Countries where we process data may have different laws and may not have laws as protective as those in your own country.
We have lawful bases for collecting, using and sharing data about you. You have a choice about how we use your data.
You can withdraw your consent at any time under Settings.
We collect and process personal data about you only where we have lawful bases. Legal bases include consent (where you have given your consent), contract (where the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (for example, to provide the t4-pro.com services you have requested) and “legitimate interests”.
If we rely on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw or refuse your consent at any time, and if we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object.
Our “do not track” direct marketing and signals statements.
We do not currently share personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your consent.
