Such user information will only be used for the purposes for which it was collected, for any other purposes specified at the collection point and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We use this information to facilitate participation in these online discussion forums and communities. Personal user information such as full name, e-mail address or company name of users commenting on discussion forums will not be revealed to the content providers or forum owners.  Only your public display Screen Name will be used when you submit comments on discussion forums. You can use the 'Report' facility on broadcasts and forums if you want to submit comments or feedback and to reveal your personal contact information directly to the content providers.

3.3 Disclosure of your Information
We do not disclose your personal information to third parties to enable them to send you direct marketing without your permission to do so.

3.4 E-mail Alerts, Feeds, Sharing and Distribution of Content
Content distributed through our platform sharing and distribution features and integrations may result in displaying some of your personally identifiable information outside of 3B NEXUS. For example, when you invite a non-user to register in order to receive your content feeds; when you share your content with another user or when you distribute your content to groups, your content, including your name and company name as the publisher, may be displayed to the recipients to whom you have invited to register, shared or distributed your content. Some communications you initiate through our services (e.g., an invitation to a non-User) may list your e-mail address, name and company name in the invitation e-mail message they receive.

3.5 Sharing: You may share your content with specific registered Users that you know and have permission from them to share your content with their accounts.  If you share your content with other registered Users' accounts, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information such as your name and company name as the publisher may be displayed to the recipients in the communication e-mail they receive together with your shared content information. 3B NEXUS is not responsible for the content you choose to share with specific Users.
 
3.6 Distributing: You may distribute your content to groups such as Sectors, Markets and Regions that meet a specific criteria for a specific type of content. Selecting a combination of targeted User company Primary Activity(s) plus Sector(s) or Markets and Region(s) categories may lead to a match with recipients that have selected corresponding categories for receiving content distributed to such groups.  If you distribute your content to user groups, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information such as your name and company name as the publisher may be displayed to the recipients in the distribution e-mail they receive together with your shared content information. 3B NEXUS is not responsible for the content you choose to distribute to groups.

3.7  Receiving: You may receive e-mail invitations to accept content distributed by other registered Users.  Selecting a combination of preferred Sector(s) or Market(s) and Region(s) from which to receive distributed content may lead to a match with publishers that have selected corresponding categories for distributing content to such groups. Your account will receive these feeds only if your registered company Primary Activity matches the publisher's targeted users' company Primary Activity and the group category selections.  If you do not wish to receive any distributed feeds from other registered Users, do not set Feeds Inbox options on your account.

3.8  Email Alerts: You may receive Instant, Daily or Weekly e-mail alerts linking to new broadcasts on the 3B PORTAL published by specific presenting companies or publishers or to Sector(s) or Market(s) and Region(s) that match your preferred Publisher(s), Sector(s) or Market(s) and Region(s) categories for the e-mail alerts you wish to receive. If you do not wish to receive any e-mail alerts linking to newly published content on the 3B PORTAL, do not select any categories in the E-mail Alert Settings on your account.

3.9  Searching: We offer search services to help find information and content published on our portal and to find other Users, for example; you can search for Users by e-mail address or by their company name in order to invite them to receive your shared content into their accounts. We use information from User profiles to inform and refine our search service. In order to invite, share or distribute your content to other Users on 3B NEXUS, you may use the search facility to find the Users and send invitations or you may enter e-mail addresses of people you know if they have not registered with 3B NEXUS. The names and e-mail addresses of people whom you invite will be used to send your invitations and reminders. Please note that when you send an e-mail invitation to another User or a non-User, the recipient will have access to your e-mail address because it may be displayed in the invitation message.
 
3.10  Comments & Discussions: Viewers can submit broadcast related comments to publishers as well as participate in the discussion forums. Your comments, feedback or participation in discussion forums must adhere to the House Rules.
 
3.11  Submitting Reports or Feedback
The 'Report' facility on our website and media players provides a means for direct communication between you and content providers. When you use this facility and provide your contact details, please be aware that you are contacting the content provider directly. By submitting your contact details via the Report facility, you agree to receive communication directly from the content provider in response to your report or feedback. 3B NEXUS does not guarantee that the content providers will reply to your report.
