When we receive such information we will store it only as long as it is necessary to complete the request and to track the success of the service.

Children under the Age of 14

7Summits does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 14 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 14, please do not attempt to register for 7summitsagency.com or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 14 may provide any personal information to or on 7summitsagency.com. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 14 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under the age of 14, please contact us at contact_us@7summitsageny.com.

Use of Information Obtained by 7Summits

When you register with 7Summits, you create your own personal profile, set up news feeds, take career assessment tests, and establish preferences and permissions. Your profile information with your name, email, perhaps your photo, career interests and other information are displayed to individuals in public or 7Summits domains as specified in your preferences and permissions to enable you to connect with like professionals on 7summitsagency.com and to be located outside of 7summitsagency.com on the internet in general. We will also use your name and email address to send you administration notifications or information regarding new features introduced by 7summits that might relate to your social media interests.

Profile information is used by 7Summits primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service and to be presented to other registered users permitted to view that information by your preferences and permissions. In some cases where your preferences and permissions permit it, other 7summitsagency.com individuals may be able to supplement your blogs and join your forums once that functionality is enabled on 7summitsagency.com.

Profile information or other classes of information you submit to 7summitsagency.com may also be available to registered individuals of 7summitsagency.com who belong to one of the communities you allow to access the information through your preferences and permissions. Your name and certain profile information will be available in search results across the 7summits network and those limited pieces of information may be made available to third party search engines. This is primarily so like colleagues can find you and send a collaboration request. People who see your name in searches, however, will not be able to access further profile information unless they have a relationship to you that allows such access based on your preferences and permissions.

7Summits may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if there is a new white paper that we think might be of interest, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact. Generally, you may opt out of such emails from the preferences and permissions page, though 7Summits reserves the right to send you notice about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.

7Summits may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as aggregating how many people in certain categories are interested in business topics so that we can provide you improved Agency related services. We believe this benefits you. You can know more about the world around you and, where there are common trends among professionals, you're more likely to find this of interest to you. Naturally we don't tell anyone who the individuals are.

We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers, public speeches, conference presentations and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services, and other individuals of 7Summits , to supplement your profile. Where such information is used, we generally allow you to specify in your preferences and permissions that you do not want this to be done or to take other actions that limit the connection of this information to your profile (e.g., removing photo tag links).

Links

7Summits may contain links to other websites. We are of course not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. We encourage our individuals to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Notice applies solely to information collected by 7Summits.

Changing or Removing Information

Access and control over most personal information on 7summitsagency.com is readily available through the profile editing tools. 7summitsagency.com users may modify or delete any of their profile information at any time by logging into their account. Information will be updated immediately. Individuals who wish to deactivate their 7summitsagency.com  account may eventually do so on the My Account page. Removed information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally available to members of 7summitsagency.com.

Where you make use of the communication features of the service to share information with other individuals on 7summitsagency.com, however, (e.g., sending a personal message to another 7summitsagency.com user) you generally cannot remove such communications.

Security

7Summits takes appropriate precautions to protect our users' information. Your account information is located on a secured server behind a firewall.  If you are ever asked to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number or your password), we will encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). To learn more about SSL, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer.
