The following reflects our commitment to respecting you and the privacy of your information. This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the Freelance.com web site.

Information About All Freelance.com Visitors

In general, we gather information about all of our users collectively, such as what areas users visit most frequently and what services users access the most. We only use such data anonymously and in the aggregate. This information helps us determine what is most beneficial for our users, and how we can continually create a better overall experience for you. We may share this information with our partners, but only in the aggregate, so that they too may understand how Freelance.com visitors use our site, so they may create a better overall experience for you, as well.

Information About You Specifically

In some instances, when you sign up to use a service and/or subscribe to a mailing for example, we may need more specific information about you, such as name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card number, type of computer, etc. If you give us permission, we may use that information to make you aware of project, freelance professionals and services that may be of interest to you, or to contact you regarding site changes and/or new services. We may also ask you for other information, such as information on your interests, your likes and dislikes regarding the site, the types of jobs you are interested in, etc., in an effort to deliver to you the best possible site experience. Freelance.com also provides you with the opportunity to opt-out of these types of communications. If you choose to receive these types of communications at the time of registration, but later decide you no longer want to receive them, simply e-mail freelance.com at contact@freelance.com and let us know.

General Information Disclosure

But, we may record and share aggregated information with our partners. Also, if you input your information on a co-branded registration page, such as that of a Freelance.com and partner company, then your information becomes the property of both Freelance.com and the partner co-sponsoring the contest. In that instance, Freelance.com is not responsible for the information that the partner company receives.
