Co-branded and Other Affiliated Sites

As stated above, certain information or services offered or provided through this website, from time to time, may be provided on or through other websites operated by or in conjunction with third party providers (“Partners”). These websites and the features thereon may look similar to this Web Site. Talkbook terms these websites “co-branded sites”, and often times a Partner’s logo or name may appear on the website or the Partner’s name may appear in the URL. Although Talkbook will continue to own any personally identifiable information collected about Users from one of these co-branded sites, such information may be shared by Talkbook with that Partner. However, a Partner will not rent, sell, or disclose any of your personally identifiable information to third parties unless Users consent to such disclosures and use in advance (for example, Users may be asked to opt-in on a particular co-branded site in order to receive information or offers from a Partner, its affiliates or representatives).

Security

Talkbook’s site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the Registration Data. Talkbook uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your Registration Data. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while Talkbook strives to protect your personal information, Talkbook cannot ensure the security of any information that Users transmit to Talkbook or any information that Users receive from Talkbook’s Service, and Users transmit such information at your own risk. Once Talkbook receives your transmission, it uses reasonable commercial efforts to ensure security on its systems.
