Privacy Policy

When a user signs up with the Freelance Water Cooler forums, uses the Contact Us form, or uses any and all current or future Freelance Water Cooler services, a variety of typical personal information may be collected, such as a user’s name, company name, e-mail address, IP address, etc. Rest assured that all user information is stored securely in our server, no lists are compiled beyond the natural use of our server, and no personal or user information will be sold or given to anyone for any reason. All information given to us in any nature is completely secure and will never be used for anything outside of normal Freelance Water Cooler processes. We may, however, use your e-mail address securely for legitimate e-mail updates and notifications. However, any information you provide to the public through Freelance Water Cooler’s services can be accessed by the public and we have no control over its use. For example, if a user posts his or her e-mail address publicly on the FWC forums, there is a chance that someone outside of Freelance Water Cooler administration will use it to send the user unsolicited e-mails, and we cannot control that type of use. It is the user’s responsibility to control what he or she publicly posts when using our site and services. However, anything provided exclusively to Freelance Water Cooler, such as through the Contact Us page or forum registration, will be used ONLY for that purpose and no other purpose. We are serious about your security, safety, and privacy.
