We like to keep things simple, but we also have to protect ourselves. So let’s put it all out on the table - that way you know what happens to your information once you become a site owner at worldwidefreelancer.com.
When you create an account on World Wide Freelancer, you must provide us with a valid email address. This allows us to send you your username, your password, to send you notifications of lost passwords, or any relevant updates and announcements of World Wide Freelancer. That’s all we ever ask of you - a valid email address.
The email address that you provide to us is 100% private and is not sold, shared, rented or granted access to from any other source. You may opt out of such emails by sending a written request but World Wide Freelancer still reserves the right to send you notices about your account, if you are to maintain an account on our servers.
We may be required to disclose your user information (pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws).
Your Content, Posted on World Wide Freelancer
Once you have your own account on our site you can post your email address, contact information, mailing address, work phone, etc. Once you have posted such information live to your web space we are not responsible for that content. Any content you post is your sole responsibility. This included defamatory remarks as well as personal information. We will not be held accountable for your actions. Although saying that prompts us to remind you to read the Terms of Service here.
Your Personal Security
World Wide Freelancer takes appropriate precautions to protect your information - even your email address. We do not ask for sensitive information (such as credit card number or your banking information) and as such accept no responsibility for the same. In the future we will include email messaging between freelancers as well as instant messaging, but because email and instant messaging are not secure communication channels, we also waive responsibility on your actions regarding these channels.
