officeatwork uses the information we collect to operate, improve and personalize the products and services we offer. Information collected through one officeatwork service may be combined with information collected through other officeatwork services to give you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with us. We may also supplement this with information from other companies. For example, we may use services from other companies to help us derive a general geographic area based on your IP address in order to customize certain services to your geographic area.
We also may use the information to communicate with you, for example, informing you when a subscription is ending, letting you know when security updates are available or letting you know when you need to take action to keep your account active.
officeatwork provides many of our sites and services free of charge because they are supported by advertising. In order to make these services widely available, the information we collect may be used to help improve the advertisements you see by making them more relevant to you.
We will share your personal information with your consent. For example, we share your content with third parties when you tell us to do so, such as when you send an email to a friend, share photos and documents on OneDrive or link accounts with another service.
We may share or disclose personal information with other officeatwork controlled subsidiaries and affiliates, and with vendors or agents working on our behalf or with officeatwork Partners during your evaluation of our solutions and services. For example, companies we’ve hired to provide customer service support or assist in protecting and securing our systems and services may need access to personal information in order to provide those functions. In such cases, these companies must abide by our data privacy requirements and are not allowed to use the information for any other purpose. We may also disclose personal information as part of a corporate transaction such as a merger or sale of assets.
Finally, we may access, disclose and preserve your personal information, when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to:
comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process from competent authorities, including from law enforcement or other government agencies;
comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process from competent authorities, including from law enforcement or other government agencies;
operate and maintain the security of our services, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks; or
protect the rights or property of officeatwork, including enforcing the terms governing the use of the services – however, if we receive information indicating that someone is using our services to traffic in stolen intellectual or physical property of officeatwork, we will not inspect a customer’s private content ourselves, but we may refer the matter to law enforcement.
Please note that some of our sites and services include links to sites or services of third parties that have privacy practices different from those of officeatwork. If you submit personal information to any of those sites or services, your information is governed by the privacy statements of those third parties.
Some of our sites and services may be supported by advertising.
Most of the online advertisements on officeatwork sites and services are displayed by officeatwork Advertising. When we display online advertisements to you, we will place one or more cookies on your computer in order to recognize your computer each time we display an ad to you. Because we serve advertisements on our own websites as well as those of our advertising and publisher partners, we are able to compile information over time about the types of pages, content and ads you, or others who are using your computer, visited or viewed. This information helps us select the ads we show you. For example, it helps us try to ensure that you do not see the same advertisements repeatedly. It also helps us select and display targeted advertisements that we believe may be of interest to you.
We also allow third-party ad companies, including other ad networks, to display advertisements on our sites. In some cases, these third parties may also place cookies on your computer, and may collect information about your online activities across websites or online services. These companies may offer you a way to opt out of ad targeting based on their cookies.
You should also be aware that some browsers have incorporated «Do Not Track» (DNT) features that, when turned on, send a signal in the browser header to websites and online services indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. It is up to the website or online service you visit (and any third parties providing advertising, content, or other functionality on the website or online service) to decide how it will interpret and treat the signal. However, there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal. As a result, officeatwork does not currently respond to the browser DNT signals on its own websites or online services, or on third-party websites or online services where officeatwork provides advertisements, content or is otherwise able to collect information.
If you receive promotional email messages from us and would like to stop getting them in the future, you can do so by following the directions in that message.
Depending on the respective service, you may also have the option of proactively making choices about the receipt of promotional email, telephone calls, and postal mail from particular officeatwork sites or services.

Certain services may allow you to control when location information is sent to officeatwork or made available to others. In some cases, location information is essential to the service and may require uninstalling the feature or discontinuing the service to stop the sending of location information. Refer to the documentation that came with your device for information about how to turn off location features.
