Privacy Policy

Public Nature of Content Submitted to Sites

The nature of Overtone is to enable our members to share content of a personal and professional nature with a public worldwide audience. Please be aware that any information that you submit to us whether through forms or email, including personally identifiable information, may be publicly displayed on sites hosted at https://www.overtone-digital.com, or on websites not within our control. If you don’t want others to see such information, don’t submit it.

Forms and Content

To create a new members account, or login to an existing one, you are required to submit an email address and other personal information. We may publicly display the personal information. Your address may also be used to send you email bulletins from Overtone administrators, or from specific interest group mailing lists to which you subscribe and which you can manage via your account settings. You may also be sent automatic notifications from jobs you post on the website or other content types and the settings for these are controlled on the content page when you create it. The website will automatically send you notifications when you are shortlisted, or when other members engage with your profile pages, and these notifications settings may be updated from your profile settings pages. If there are problems with your individual profile, we may contact you via email as well. If you contribute content, such as discussion comments, to any content, your contribution may be publicly displayed including personally identifiable information. Display of visitor content is determined by the discretion of the individual content authors and Overtone editors. As the author of any article or news content to the website, your content will by default be made available to outside search engines, indexes and third party sites to scan each blog, create hyperlinks to individual blogs or distribute it further via feeds. You can delete any content you add to the website but it may take some time before 3rd party services remove their links and digital references to copies of your work. Each time you update your content, it may also send pings or feeds to sites that index or track newly updated content. These sites may publicly display a hyperlink to your site and the time that you updated it. If your site publishes XML feeds, content from or links to your site may be publicly displayed on third party sites. Where you decide to upload professional references or documents you may restrict public access to this content from your profile page by publishing or un-publishing it to your profile pages. All published content may be made available to our members.
