What information might be disclosed to third parties?

Professor Now will exercise its maximum efforts to protect the anonymity and personal privacy of every user. There is one exception to this. Professor Now reserves the right to share information you provide (including any identifying information you provide) with legal authorities if it is, in our sole opinion, necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected fraud, situation involving threats or potential harm to the physical safety of any person, or if required by law (such as if required by a subpoena, court order or other legal means).

We do not sell, rent or otherwise share your personal information, to, or with, any third party.

Professor Now does not allow third parties to send promotional email to its users without your express consent, in advance. Professor Now may send administrative emails to confirm user registrations or to update users concerning new services or opportunities with ProfessorNow.com. Some of these emails may contain information about the services of our partners. We may send out promotional emails on behalf of our partners to those users who have demonstrated an interest in receiving such solicitations.

We do aggregate information and disclose such information, in aggregate, to partners and use it for other marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these situations, we do not disclose any information that could be used to personally identify you. Certain information, such as your password, is never disclosed at all, even in aggregate.

Professor Now cooperates with all law enforcement inquiries and with all third parties to enforce their intellectual property or other rights. Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we may be forced to disclose information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will remain private in all circumstances.

3) When you are finished using the ProfessorNow.com site, sign out of your account and close your browser window.

No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we are committed to protecting your personal information, ProcessorNow.com cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you send to us or from our online services, and you do so at your own risk.
