Specifically, we have a legitimate interest in using your Personal Information for product development and internal analytics purposes, and otherwise to improve the safety, security, and performance of our Services.

Affiliates. We may share your Personal Information with our affiliates for any of the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Vendors, Affiliate Partners and Service Providers. We may share any Personal Information we receive with vendors, affiliate partners and service providers retained in connection with the provision of our Services. Worky actively engages third-party resources, applications, and websites. These services provided by third parties are established to enhance user experience, provide ease of navigation through Worky’s sites, and to promote access to information. Worky may provide PII of Users to only those of its personnel and third-party vendors that (1) need to know such information to process it on Worky’s behalf or to provide services as described above, and (2) have agreed in writing not to disclose it to any other parties without Worky’s consent. Some of those employees, contractors, vendors, affiliate partners and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using the Site and/or Services, you consent to the transfer of information to such individuals and organizations to accomplish these purposes.
Marketing. Worky does not buy or sell PII for its business practices or for commercial purposes unless we have your permission. From time to time, Worky may engage in joint marketing events with select business partners. If you register for a joint webinar or specifically express an interest in a jointly offered product, promotion or service, we may share relevant PII with those partner(s). Where you have given your consent to do so, these business partners may send you marketing communications about their own products and services.
Sweepstakes, Contests, and Promotions: We may offer sweepstakes, contests, and other promotions (any, a “Promotion”) that may require registration. By participating in a Promotion, you are agreeing to the official rules that govern that Promotion, which may contain specific requirements of you, including, except where prohibited by law, allowing the sponsor(s) of the Promotion to use your name, voice, likeness, or other indicia of persona in advertising or marketing associated with the Promotion. If you choose to enter a Promotion, your Personal Information may be disclosed to third parties or the public in connection with the administration of such Promotion, including, without limitation, in connection with winner selection, prize fulfillment, and as required by law or permitted by the Promotion’s official rules, such as on a winner’s list.
Social Networks and Other Online Services. Please note that Worky does not control, moderate, or endorse any comments or opinions provided by visitors on third-party websites. The use and creation of official Worky accounts may cause PII to become available or accessible to Worky. Such information may become available to Worky when a user provides, submits, communicates, links, posts, or associates information with designated Worky accounts on social media (e.g., by using “hashtags”, “liking”, “friending”, “tweeting”, commenting on any content or media on our designated accounts). At times, Worky, through its personnel, employees, officers, directors, agents, and assignees, may respond publicly to content or media made available though “share,” “retweet,” “friend,” “follow,” or similar activities, or respond publicly on content made on designated and official Worky accounts. Worky may disseminate any of such information or PII to law enforcement officials, as required by law or court order.
Analytics Partners. We use analytics services such as Google Analytics, Fullstory, Hubspot Analytics, Pendo, Segment Analytics, Marketo and Mouseflow to collect and process certain analytics data. These services may also collect information about your use of other websites, apps, and online resources.

Some of our advertising partners are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN).

You can access any settings offered by your mobile operating system to limit ad tracking, or you can install the AppChoices mobile app to learn more about how you may opt-out of personalized ads in mobile apps.
As Required by Law and Similar Disclosures. We may access, preserve, and disclose your Personal Information if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to: (a) comply with law enforcement requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; (b) respond to your requests; or (c) protect your, our, or others’ rights, property, or safety. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations, including law enforcement agencies, for the purposes of fraud protection and to prevent cyber or other suspected or alleged crime. For the avoidance of doubt, the disclosure of your Personal Information may occur if you post any objectionable content on or through the Services.
Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers. We may disclose your Personal Information to service providers, advisors, potential transactional partners, or other third parties in connection with the consideration, negotiation, or completion of a corporate transaction in which we are acquired by or merged with another company, or we sell, liquidate, or transfer all or a portion of our assets.

Depending on which jurisdiction you are in, we may be required to give you an option to “opt-in” and we will always provide you with an option to “opt-out” with each marketing communication. Even if you opt-out of receiving promotional messages from us, you will continue to receive administrative messages from us.
