You may also choose to import data into the app from a social media profile, such as from your LinkedIn profile.

The app enables you to network and interact with other conference attendees by, for example, sharing your agenda and profile with those attendees and enabling in-app messaging.

The default privacy setting in the app makes your profile, agenda and other information visible to other authorized users of the app, including other attendees.

You may adjust your privacy settings in the app to the extent you wish to make your profile “Invisible” or “Public.”

You may also visit the “Notifications” center in the app to adjust when you receive push notifications. We assign a unique user ID to your app on your device so that we can identify you when you use the app and collect user metrics such as how you use the app.

We use the information we collect to operate and constantly improve our apps, to provide our services to you and other users and for promotional purposes.

The information in this section on Expert Traders Connect is specific to the Connect platform and supplements the other information contained in the remainder of this Privacy Policy. It should be read together with the rest of the Privacy Policy.
