We retain this information for use within the network for example in Group postings. When you post this content to the Worky site you do so at your own risk. We cannot guarantee this content will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. This content may also be cached by search engines and may remain visible even after you remove it from Worky.

Usage information
Like any website, Worky's servers and logs collects general and non-personal information about usage of the site, identifying browsers used, originating and exit pages and pages visited. This information is used to create and analyse web traffic, statistics and usage of the website and to help Worky improve the way the site may be structured and navigated. It also helps Worky determine the number of users visiting the site, the number of pages and links they click, the originating sites and geographic locations of users. Worky may use this information to make improvements to the site to suit user's usage behaviours. Other details may be collected in Worky’s servers and logs of a more identifiable nature such as individual user ip addresses and usage behaviours. Worky will never wilfully disclose any information of a personal nature to any third party without the user's express written permission.
Cookies
Like many other websites, Worky may use 'cookies' to help provide a more personalised service to individual users. 'Cookies' are small text files that are stored on the user's computer and help facilitate improved usage of the site by returning visitors to store some basic details about activity the user has previously performed, for example remembering searches done by users so they don't have to type in the details on subsequent return to the site. Users can control the use of cookies via their web browser and choose to enable/disable cookies for individual sites. Note, however, that disabling cookies for Worky may lead to more limited use of some features of the site.
Communication with other users on the site
When you use the site to communicate with another user on the site, those users will only see the information that you have intended as public information and any other information you choose to disclose to them at the time of communication. If you provide details of a personal nature in a communication whether in the text of the communication or in an attachment you agree that it is your sole responsibility to do so and that is it not the responsibility of Worky or any of it's directors, employees or affiliates.
