Privacy Statement – The MarBecca Community Respects Your Privacy

At The MarBecca Community, we’re building a community of industry colleagues. One of our goals is to foster camaraderie among professionals, and valuable networking and information exchange between peers, as well as recognized industry leaders and experts. As we help move forward, it’s necessary to form congenial relationships between members.

Full anonymity does not lend to the type of friendly, cooperative atmosphere we encourage at The MarBecca Community. Therefore, in order to maintain your membership to The MarBecca Community, please be sure to fill out your member profile completely.

The private information you provide is kept strictly confidential and is not shared, sold, or exchanged with any third parties unless required by law or for other legal purposes or with your expressed permission. Your private information is used only for contact purposes when deemed necessary for administrative reasons or The MarBecca Community and/or sponsor announcements. Private information fields will be highlighted in red in the registration form.

Some information you provide is displayed only to other MarBecca Community Members in your forum profile. The registration form explains between publicly displayed, privately displayed, or not displayed information.

If you are a MarBecca Method Workshop attendee, your business contact information will be made available publicly in your listing, as is outlined in the registration process. When registering, only provide business contact information that you are comfortable sharing publicly. If you are a workshop attendee, it will appear in your “Workshop Attendees” profile.

We require using your true identity in our forum and in your publicly accessible profile in order to help build a real sense of community and to promote your services. Our forum’s options are set to keep your private information and email address completely undisclosed and is not displayed even if you choose to reveal it through adjustments in your user control panel. The exception is the email that you use for your publicly displayed workshop listing.
