We may modify this Contract, our Privacy Policy, our Cookie Policy from time to time. If we materially change these terms or if we are legally required to provide notice, we will provide you notice through our Services, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective.

2. Obligations

2.1 Service Eligibility

Here are some promises that you make to us in this Contract:

You’re eligible to enter into this Contract and you are at least our “Minimum Age.”

The Services are not for use by anyone under the age of 16.

To use the Services, you agree that: (1) you must be the "Minimum Age"(described below) or older; (2) you will only have one IPM account, which must be in your real name; and (3) you are not already restricted by IPM from using the Services. Creating an account with false information is a violation of our terms, including accounts registered on behalf of others or persons under the age of 16.

“Minimum Age” means 16 years old. However, if the law requires that you must be older in order for IPM to lawfully provide the Services to you without parental consent (including using your personal data) then the Minimum Age is such older age.

2.2 Your Account

You will keep your password a secret

You will not share your account with anyone else and will follow our policies and the law.

Members are account holders. You agree to: (1) protect against wrongful access to your account (e.g., use a strong password and keep it confidential); (2) not share or transfer your account or any part of it (e.g., sell or transfer the personal data of others by transferring your connections); and (3) follow the law, and our list of Dos and Don’ts (below). You are responsible for anything that happens through your account unless you close it or report misuse.

As between you and others (including your employer), your account belongs to you. However, if the Services were purchased by another party for you to use in connection with your work for them, the party paying for such Service has the right to control access to and get reports on your use of such paid Service; however, they do not have rights to your personal account.

2.3 Payment

You’ll honour your payment obligations and you are okay with us storing your payment information. You understand that there may be fees and taxes that are added to our prices.

Refunds are subject to our policy, and we may modify our prices and those modified prices will apply prospectively.

If you buy any of our paid Services, you agree to pay us the applicable fees and taxes and you agree to the “Additional Terms” (described below) specific to the paid Services. Failure to pay these fees will result in the termination of your paid Services.

 

Additional Terms 

  • Your purchase may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location (e.g., exchange rates).

  • We may store and continue billing your payment method (e.g., credit card), even after it has expired, to avoid interruptions in your paid Services and to use it to pay for other Services you may buy. If your primary payment method fails, we may automatically charge a secondary payment method, if you have provided one. You may update or change your payment method.

  • If you purchase a subscription, your payment method automatically will be charged at the start of each subscription period for the fees and taxes applicable to that period. To avoid future charges, cancel before the renewal date.

  • We may modify our prices effective prospectively upon reasonable notice to the extent allowed under the law.

  • We may calculate taxes payable by you based on the billing information that you provide us.

  • You can get a copy of your invoice via an email request to us.

2.4 Notices and Messages

You are okay with us providing notices and messages to you through our websites, apps, and contact information. By using the Services, you consent to receive communications from IPM electronically, including emails, platform messages, and legal notices. If your contact information is out of date, you may miss out on important notices.

You agree that we will provide notices and messages to you in the following ways: (1) within the Services or (2) sent to the contact information you provided us (e.g., email, mobile number, physical address). You agree to keep your contact information up to date.

Please review your settings to control and limit the types of messages you receive from us.

2.5 Sharing

When you share information on our Services, others can see, copy and use that information.

Our Services allow sharing of information (including content) in many ways, such as through your profile, posts, articles, group posts, links to news articles, job postings, and messages. Depending on the feature and choices you make, information that you share may be seen by other Members, Visitors, or others. Where we have made settings available, we will honour the choices you make about who can see content or other information.

To the extent that laws allow this, we are not obligated to publish any content or other information on our Services and can remove it with or without notice.

3. Rights and Limits

3.1. Your License to IPM

  4. Because you own your original content and we only have non-exclusive rights to it, you may choose to make it available to others.

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, IPM and its affiliates disclaim any implied or statutory warranty, including any implied warranty of title, accuracy, non-infringement, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

Change

Changes to the Privacy Policy apply to your use of our Services after the “effective date.”

IPM (also referred to as “we” or “us”) can modify this Privacy Policy, and if we make material changes to it, we will provide notice through our Services, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. If you object to any changes, you may close your account.

1. Data We Collect

1.1 Data You Provide To Us

Registration

To create an account you need to provide data including but may not be limited to your name, email address and/or mobile number, general location (e.g., city), and a password. If you register for a Service that requires payment, you will need to provide payment (e.g., credit card) and billing information.

Profile

You provide information on your profile, such as your education, work experience, skills, photo, and city or area. You don’t have to provide additional information on your profile; however, profile information helps you to get more from our Services, including helping recruiters and business opportunities find you. It’s your choice whether to include sensitive information on your profile and to make that sensitive information public. Please do not post or add personal data to your profile that you would not want to be publicly available.

Posting and Uploading

We collect personal data from you when you provide, post or upload it to our Services, such as when you fill out a form (e.g., with demographic data), or respond to a survey.

If you sync your calendars with our Services, we will collect your calendar meeting information to keep growing your network by suggesting connections for you and others, and by providing information about events, e.g. times, places, attendees and contacts.

You don’t have to post or upload personal data; though if you don’t, it may limit your ability to grow and engage with your network over our Services.

1.2 Data From Others

Content and News

You and others may post content that includes information about you (as part of articles, posts, comments, videos) on our Services. We also may collect public information about you, such as professional-related news and accomplishments, and make it available as part of our Services, including but not limited to, in notifications to others of mentions in the news.

Contact and Calendar Information

We receive personal data (including contact information) about you when others import or sync their calendar with our Services, associate their contacts with Member profiles, scan and upload business cards, or send messages using our Services (including invites or connection requests).

Partners

We receive personal data (e.g., your job title and work email address) about you when you use the services of our customers and partners, such as employers or prospective employers and applicant tracking systems providing us job application data.

Related Companies and Other Services

We receive data about you when you use some of the other services provided by us or our Affiliates. Affiliates are companies controlling, controlled by or under common control with us.

1.3 Service Use

We log usage data when you visit or otherwise use our Services, including our sites, app and platform technology, such as when you view or click on content or ads (on or off our sites and apps), perform a search, install or update one of our mobile apps, or share articles. We use log-ins, cookies, device information and internet protocol (“IP”) addresses to identify you and log your use.

1.4 Cookies and Similar Technologies

As further described in our Cookie Policy, we use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixels and ad tags) to collect data (e.g., device IDs) to recognize you and your device(s) on, off and across different services and devices where you have engaged with our Services. We also allow some others to use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. We may also collect, or rely on others to collect information about your device where you have not engaged with our Services so we can provide our Members with relevant ads and better understand their effectiveness.

1.5 Your Device and Location

When you visit or leave our Services (including some plugins and our cookies or similar technology on the sites of others), we may receive the URL of both the site you came from and the one you go to and the time of your visit. We may also get information about your network and device (e.g., IP address, proxy server, operating system, web browser and add-ons, device identifier and features, cookie IDs and/or ISP, or your mobile carrier). If you use our Services from a mobile device, that device may send us data about your location based on your phone settings.

1.6 Communications

We collect information about you when you communicate with others through our Services (e.g., when you send, receive, or engage with messages, events, or connection requests, including our marketing communications). This may include information that indicates who you are communicating with and when. We also use automated systems to support and protect our site. For example, we use such systems to suggest possible responses to messages and to manage or block content that violates our User Agreement, or violates professionally accepted conduct.

 

1.7 Workplace Provided Information

Others buying our Services for your use, such as your employer, provide us with personal data about you and your eligibility to use the Services that they purchase for use by their workers.

1.8 Sites and Services of Others

We receive information about your visits and interaction with services provided by others when you log-in with IPM or visit others’ services that include some of our plugins or our ads, cookies or similar technologies.

1.9 Other

Our Services are dynamic, and we often introduce new features, which may require the collection of new information. If we collect materially different personal data or materially change how we collect, use or share your data, we will notify you and may also modify this Privacy Policy.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to provide, support, personalize and develop our Services.

How we use your personal data will depend on which Services you use, how you use those Services and the choices you make in your settings. We may use your personal data to improve, develop, and provide products and Services, develop and train artificial intelligence (AI) models, develop, provide, and personalize our Services, and gain insights with the help of AI, automated systems, and inferences, so that our Services can be more relevant and useful to you and others.

2.1 Services

Be Connected

Our Services allow you to stay in touch and up to date with colleagues, partners, clients, and other professional contacts.

We use data about you (such as your profile, profiles you have viewed or data provided through address book uploads or partner integrations) to help others find your profile, suggest connections for you and others (e.g. Members who share your contacts or job experiences) and enable you to invite others to become a Member and connect with you.

It is your choice whether to invite someone to our Services. When you invite someone to connect with you, your invitation will include basic profile information (e.g., name, profile photo, job title, region, network). We will send invitation reminders to the person you invited.

Be Informed

Our Services allow you to stay informed about news, events and ideas regarding professional topics you care about, and from professionals you respect. We use the data we have about you (e.g., data you provide, data we collect from your engagement with our Services and inferences we make from the data we have about you), to personalize our Services for you, such as by recommending or ranking relevant content and conversations on our Services. We also use the data we have about you to suggest skills you could add to your profile and skills that you might need to pursue your next opportunity. So, if you let us know that you are interested in a new skill, we will use this information to personalize content in your feed, suggest that you follow certain Members on our site, or suggest related learning content to help you towards that new skill. We use your content, activity and other data, including your name and photo, to provide notices to your network and others. For example, we may notify others that you have updated your profile, posted content, took a social action, used a feature, made new connections or were mentioned in the news.

Business and Career Opportunities

Our Services allow you to explore business and career opportunities. We may use your data to recommend business and job opportunities and show you and others relevant professional contacts. We may use automated systems to provide content and recommendations to help make our Services more relevant to our Members, Visitors and customers. Keeping your profile accurate and up-to-date may help you better connect to others and to opportunities through our Services.

Productivity

Our Services allow you to collaborate with colleagues, search for potential clients, customers, partners and others to do business with. Our Services allow you to communicate with other Members.

2.2 Premium Services

We may offer premium Services that help paying users search for and contact Members through our Services such as searching for and contacting business leads and job candidates, and promote content. We may also provide such paying customers and subscribers with customized search functionality and tools, amongst other features.

2.3 Communications

We will contact you through email, mobile phone, notices posted on our websites or apps, messages to your IPM inbox, and other ways through our Services, including text messages and push notifications. We will send you messages about the availability of our Services, security, or other service-related issues. We may also send messages about how to use our Services, network updates, reminders, job suggestions and promotional messages from us and our partners.

We also enable communications between you and others through our Services, including for example invitations, groups and messages between connections. Please be aware that you cannot opt out of receiving service messages from us, including security and legal notices.

2.4 Advertising

We target and measure the performance of ads to Members, Visitors and others both on and off our Services directly or through a variety of partners, using the following data, whether separately or combined:

  • Data collected by advertising technologies on and off our Services using pixels, ad tags, cookies, and other device identifiers;

  • Member-provided information (e.g., profile, contact information, title and industry);

  • Data from your use of our Services (e.g., search history, feed, content you read, who you follow or is following you, connections, groups participation, page visits, videos you watch, clicking on an ad, etc.), including as described in Section 1.3;

  • Information from advertising partners, vendors and publishers; and

  • Information inferred from data described above

We may show you ads called sponsored content which look similar to non-sponsored content, except that they are labelled as advertising (e.g., as “ad” or “sponsored”). If you take a social action (such as like, comment or share) on these ads, your action is associated with your name and viewable by others, including the advertiser. If you take a social action on the IPM Services, that action may be mentioned with related ads. For example, when you like a company we may include your name and photo when their sponsored content is shown.

Info to Ad Providers

We do not share your personal data with any non-Affiliated third-party advertisers or ad networks except for: (i) hashed IDs or device identifiers (to the extent they are personal data in some countries); (ii) with your separate permission (e.g., in a lead generation form) or (iii) data already visible to any users of the Services (e.g., profile). However, if you view or click on an ad on or off our Services, the ad provider will get a signal that someone visited the page that displayed the ad, and they may, through the use of mechanisms such as cookies, determine it is you. Advertising partners can associate personal data collected by the advertiser directly from you with hashed IDs or device identifiers received from us.

2.5 Marketing

In addition to advertising our Services, we use Members’ data and content for invitations and communications promoting membership and network growth, engagement and our Services, such as by showing your connections that you have used a feature on our Services.

2.6 Developing Services and Research

Service Development

We use data, including public feedback, to conduct research and development for our Services in order to provide you and others with a better, more intuitive and personalized experience, drive membership growth and engagement on our Services, and help connect professionals to each other and to economic opportunity.

Other Research

We use the personal data available to us to research business, social, economic and workplace trends. In some cases, we work with trusted third parties to perform this research. We may also make public data available to researchers to enable assessment of the safety and legal compliance of our Services. We publish or allow others to publish economic insights, presented as aggregated data rather than personal data.

Surveys

Polls and surveys are conducted by us and others through our Services. You are not obligated to respond to polls or surveys, and you can choose the information you provide.

2.7 Customer Support

We use data, which can include your communications, to investigate, respond to and resolve complaints and for Service issues (e.g., bugs).

2.8 Insights That Do Not Identify You

We use your data to perform analytics to produce and share insights that do not identify you. For example, we may use your data to generate statistics about our Members, their profession or industry, to calculate ad impressions served or clicked on (e.g., for basic business reporting to support billing and budget management, or for reports to advertisers who may use them to inform their advertising campaigns), to show Members' information about engagement with a post or IPM Page, to publish visitor demographics for a Service or create demographic workforce insights, or to understand usage of our services.

2.9 Security and Investigations

We and our Affiliates, may use your data (including your communications) for security purposes or to prevent or investigate possible fraud or other violations of the law, our User Agreement and/or attempts to harm our Members, Visitors, company, Affiliates, or others.

3. How We Share Information

3.1 Our Services

Any data that you include on your profile and any content you post or social action (e.g., likes, follows, comments, shares) you take on our Services will be seen by others, consistent with your settings.

Profile

Your profile is fully visible to all Members and customers of our Services. Subject to your settings, it can also be visible to others on or off of our Services (e.g., Visitors to our Services or users of third-party search tools). Your settings, the subscriptions they may have, their usage of our Services, access channels and search types (e.g., by name or by keyword) impact the availability of your profile and whether they can view certain fields in your profile.

Posts, Likes, Follows, Comments, Messages

Our Services allow viewing and sharing information including through posts, likes, follows and comments.

  • When you share an article or a post (e.g., an update, image, video or article) publicly, it may be viewed by everyone and re-shared anywhere. Members, Visitors and others may be able to find and see your publicly-shared content, including your name (and photo if you have provided one).

  • In a group, posts are visible to others according to group type. For example, posts in private groups are visible to others in the group and posts in public groups are visible publicly. Your membership in groups is public and part of your profile, but you can change visibility in your settings.

  • Any information you share through companies’ or other organizations’ pages on our Services will be viewable by those organizations and others who view those pages' content.

  • When you follow a person or organization, you are visible to others and that “page owner” as a follower.

  • We let senders know when you act on their message, subject to your settings where applicable.

  • We may let a Member know when you view their profile.

  • We may let organizations know when you've viewed their Page.

  • When you like or re-share or comment on another’s content (including ads), others will be able to view these “social actions” and associate it with you (e.g., your name, profile and photo if you provided it).

Enterprise Accounts

Your employer may offer you access to our enterprise Services. Your employer can review and manage your use of such enterprise Services. Depending on the enterprise Service, where applicable, before you use such Service, we may ask for permission to share with your employer relevant data from your profile or use of our non-enterprise Services.

Certain data of yours may also be made available to your employer or be connected with information we receive from your employer to enable these tools and services.

3.2 Communication Archival

Some Members (or their employers) need, for legal or professional compliance, to archive their communications and social media activity, and will use services of others to provide these archival services. We allow archiving of messages by and to those Members outside of our Services.

3.3 Others’ Services

You may link your account with others’ services so that they can look up your contacts’ profiles, post your shares on such platforms, or enable you to start conversations with your connections on such platforms. Excerpts from your profile will also appear on the services of others.

When you opt to link your account with other services, personal data (e.g., your name, title, and company) will become available to them. The sharing and use of that personal data will be described in, or linked to, a consent screen when you opt to link the accounts. Third-party services have their own privacy policies, and you may be giving them permission to use your data in ways we would not.

The information you make available to others in our Services (e.g., information from your profile, your posts, your engagement with the posts, or message to Pages) may be available to them on other services. For example, search tools, social media management tools, or other platforms may display your posts. The information retained on these services may not reflect updates you make on IPM.

3.4 Related Services

We may share your personal data with our Affiliates to provide and develop our Services. For example, we also share with our Affiliates, your (1) publicly-shared content (such as your public IPM posts) to provide or develop their services and (2) personal data to improve, provide or develop their advertising services. We may combine information internally across the different Services covered by this Privacy Policy to help our Services be more relevant and useful to you and others.

3.5 Service Providers

We use others to help us provide our Services (e.g., maintenance, analysis, audit, payments, fraud detection, customer support, marketing and development). They will have access to your information (e.g., the contents of a customer support request) as reasonably necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes. If you purchase a Service from us, we may use a payments service provider who may separately collect information about you (e.g., for fraud prevention or to comply with legal obligations).

3.6 Legal Disclosures

We may need to share your data when we believe it’s required by law or to help protect the rights and safety of you, us or others.

It is possible that we will need to disclose information about you when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) investigate, prevent or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies; (2) enforce our agreements with you; (3) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; (4) protect the security or integrity of our Services or the products or services of our Affiliates (such as by sharing with companies facing similar threats); or (5) exercise or protect the rights and safety of IPM, our Members, personnel or others. We attempt to notify Members about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.

3.7 Change in Control or Sale

We can also share your personal data as part of a sale, merger or change in control, or in preparation for any of these events. Any other entity which buys us or part of our business will have the right to continue to use your data.

4. Your Choices & Obligations

4.1 Data Retention

We generally retain your personal data as long as you keep your account open or as needed to provide you Services. This includes data you or others provided to us and data generated or inferred from your use of our Services. Even if you only use our Services sporadically, we will retain your information and keep your profile open, unless you close your account. In some cases we choose to retain certain information (e.g., insights about Services use) in a depersonalized or aggregated form.

4.2 Rights to Access and Control Your Personal Data

You can access or delete your personal data. You have choices about how your data is collected, used and shared.

For personal data that we have about you, you can:

  • Delete Data: You can ask us to erase or delete all or some of your personal data (e.g., if it is no longer necessary to provide Services to you).

  • Change or Correct Data: You can edit some of your personal data through your account. You can also ask us to change, update or fix your data in certain cases, particularly if it’s inaccurate.

  • Object to, or Limit or Restrict, Use of Data: You can ask us to stop using all or some of your personal data (e.g., if we have no legal right to keep using it) or to limit our use of it (e.g., if your personal data is inaccurate or unlawfully held).

  • Right to Access and/or Take Your Data: You can ask us for a copy of your personal data and can ask for a copy of personal data you provided in machine readable form.

You may also contact us using the contact information below, and we will consider your request in accordance with applicable laws.

 

4.3 Account Closure

If you choose to close your IPM account, your personal data will generally stop being visible to others on our Services within 72 hours. We generally delete closed account information within 30 days of account closure, except as noted below.

We retain your personal data even after you have closed your account if reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, enforce our User Agreement, or fulfill your request to "unsubscribe" from further messages from us. We will retain de-personalized information after your account has been closed.

Information you have shared with others (e.g., through updates or group posts) will remain visible after you close your account or delete the information from your own profile or mailbox, and we do not control data that other Members have copied out of our Services. Groups content and ratings or review content associated with closed accounts will show an unknown user as the source. Your profile may continue to be displayed in the services of others (e.g., search tools) until they refresh their cache.

5. Other Important Information

5.1. Security

We implement security safeguards designed to protect your data, such as HTTPS. We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks. However, we cannot warrant the security of any information that you send us. There is no guarantee that data may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

5.2. Cross-Border Data Transfers

We may process data across different countries. It is possible that the countries where we process data may have laws which are different from, and potentially not as protective as, the laws of your own country.

 

5.3 Lawful Bases for Processing

We have lawful bases to collect, use and share data about you. You have choices about our use of your data. At any time, you can withdraw consent you have provided by editing your settings, or closing your account.

We will only collect and process personal data about you where we have lawful bases. Lawful bases include consent (where you have given consent), contract (where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (e.g., to deliver the IPM Services you have requested) and “legitimate interests.”

Where we process data based on consent, we will ask for your explicit consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time, but that will not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data prior to such withdrawal. Where we rely on contract, we will ask that you agree to the processing of personal data that is necessary for entering into or performance of your contract with us. We will rely on legitimate interests as a basis for data processing where the processing of your data is not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. 

 

5.4. Direct Marketing and Do Not Track Signals

We currently do not share personal data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your permission.

5.5. Contact Information

For general inquiries, or legal notices or service of process, you may write us at contact@institutionalprivatemarkets.com.

Cookie Policy

Effective 01 January 2026

 

This Cookie Policy applies to any Institutional Private Markets (also referred to as “IPM”, “we” and “us”) product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference. We use cookies and similar technologies such as pixels, local storage and mobile ad IDs (collectively referred to in this policy as “cookies”) to collect and use data as part of our Services, as defined in our Privacy Policy (“Services”) and which includes our sites, communications, mobile applications and off-site Services, such as our ad services, associated plugins or tags.

By continuing to visit or use our Services, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purposes described in this policy. Please note that the names of cookies and similar technologies may change over time.

Technologies Used

  • Cookies: A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables IPM features and functionality. Any browser visiting our sites may receive cookies from us or cookies from third parties such as our customers, partners or service providers. We or third parties may also place cookies in your browser when you visit non-IPM sites that display ads or that host our plugins or tags. We use two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie lasts beyond the current session and is used for many purposes, such as recognizing you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to IPM and interact with our Services without signing in again. Since a persistent cookie stays in your browser, it will be read by IPM when you return to one of our sites or visit a third party site that uses our Services. Session cookies last only as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).

  • Pixels: A pixel is a tiny image that may be embedded within web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to our servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails. We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email content or web content, such as whether you interacted with ads or posts. Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.

  • Local storage: Local storage enables a website or application to store information locally on your device(s). Local storage may be used to improve the IPM experience, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences and speeding up site functionality.

  • Other similar technologies: We also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags for similar purposes as described in this Cookie Policy. References to similar technologies in this policy includes pixels, local storage, and other tracking technologies.

 

Purpose of Use

  • Authentication: We use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our Services. If you’re signed into IPM, these technologies help us show you the right information and personalize your experience in line with your settings. For example, cookies enable IPM to identify you and verify your account.

  • Security: We use cookies and similar technologies to make your interactions with our Services faster and more secure. For example, we use cookies to enable and support our security features, keep your account safe and to help us detect malicious activity and violations of our User Agreement.

  • Preferences, features and services: We use cookies and similar technologies to enable the functionality of our Services, such as helping you to fill out forms on our Services more easily and providing you with features, insights and customized content in conjunction with our plugins. We also use these technologies to remember information about your browser and your preferences. For example, cookies can tell us which language you prefer and what your communications preferences are. We may also use local storage to speed up site functionality.

  • Customized content: We use cookies and similar technologies to customize your experience on our Services. For example, we may use cookies to remember previous searches so that when you return to our services, we can offer additional information that relates to your previous search.

  • Plugins on and off IPM: We use cookies and similar technologies to enable IPM plugins both on and off the IPM sites. For example, our plugins, including the "Share" button may be found on IPM or third-party sites, such as the sites of our customers and partners. Our plugins use cookies and other technologies to provide analytics and recognize you on IPM and third-party sites. If you interact with a plugin, the plugin will use cookies to identify you. You can learn more about plugins in our Privacy Policy.

  • Advertising: Cookies and similar technologies help us show relevant advertising to you more effectively, both on and off our Services and to measure the performance of such ads. We use these technologies to learn whether content has been shown to you or whether someone who was presented with an ad later came back and took an action on another site. Similarly, our partners or service providers may use these technologies to determine whether we've shown an ad or a post and how it performed or provide us with information about how you interact with ads. We may also work with our customers and partners to show you an ad on or off IPM, such as after you’ve visited a customer’s or partner’s site or application. These technologies help us provide aggregated information to our customers and partners. For further information regarding the use of cookies for advertising purposes, please see Sections 1.4 and 2.4 of the Privacy Policy. We may also collect, or rely on others who collect, information about your device where you have not engaged with our Services (e.g., ad ID, IP address, operating system and browser information) so we can provide our Members with relevant ads and better understand their effectiveness. For further information, please see Section 1.4 of the Privacy Policy.

  • Analytics and research: Cookies and similar technologies help us learn more about how well our Services and plugins perform in different locations. We or our service providers use these technologies to understand, improve, and research products, features and services, including as you navigate through our sites or when you access IPM from other sites, applications or devices. We or our service providers, use these technologies to determine and measure the performance of ads or posts on and off IPM and to learn whether you have interacted with our websites, content or emails and provide analytics based on those interactions. We also use these technologies to provide aggregated information to our customers and partners as part of our Services. If you are a IPM member but logged out of your account on a browser, IPM may still continue to log your interaction with our Services on that browser until the expiration of the cookie in order to generate usage analytics for our Services. We may share these analytics in aggregate form with our customers.

 

Third parties which use these technologies in connection with our Services

Third parties such as our customers, partners and service providers may use cookies in connection with our Services. For example, third parties may use cookies in their IPM pages, job posts and their advertisements on and off IPM for their own marketing purposes.

Third parties may also use cookies in connection with our off-site Services, such as IPM ad services. Third parties may use cookies to help us to provide our Services. We may also work with third parties for our own marketing purposes and to enable us to analyze and research our Services.

 

Your Choices

Please note that if you limit the ability of IPM to set cookies and similar technologies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it may no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.

 

Opt out of targeted advertising

Some mobile device operating systems such as Android provide the ability to control the use of mobile advertising IDs for ads personalization. You can learn how to use these controls by visiting the manufacturer’s website.

 

Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, which may be adapted to reflect your consent to the use of cookies. Further, most browsers also enable you to review and erase cookies, including IPM cookies. To learn more about browser controls, please consult the documentation that your browser manufacturer provides.

 

Information about Do Not Track (DNT)

DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings. As such, IPM does not generally respond to “do not track” signals.
