Linqto Privacy Policy

Who may be present in the virtual room and observe what I say or do?

There are up to four types of participants in or users of the virtual rooms provided by Linqto: moderators, administrators, observers and invited guests. Moderators must register with Linqto and are the party responsible for the conduct of the virtual room and have available to them such features as the ability to allow invited guests to ask questions, limit time for questions or comments for invited guests, and other features. Adminstrators typically assist the moderator with technical issues related to the conduct of the virtual meeting and functionality of the virtual room. The presence of an Administrator may or may not be visible or disclosed to invited guests. Observers may be present with the permission of the moderator to observe the virtual meeting but not participate. The presence of an observer will not be visible to the invited guests. Invited guests are the meeting attendees, similar to attendees at a conference, or members of the crowd at a concert (with added features to participate or interact). Moderators, adminstrators, observers and invited guests may view participant comments through the messaging feature, hear verbal comments and other audible content through the audio feature and view images through the video features. Linqto does not have the ability or responsibility to require that other participants in your room refrain from using, or maintain confidential, items you discuss, disclose or provide. Therefore, any information you submit or disclose in a virtual room should not be considered confidential.

Does Linqto monitor and/or record activity and discussions within the virtual rooms?
