Dear aghakun,

 

SlideShare was founded on the basic desire to easily share presentations on the web. This desire to help professionals around the world to discover people through content, and content through people, led us to join the LinkedIn family in 2012.

 

Our shared fundamental philosophy is "members first." We believe it's essential for you to always feel informed and empowered with respect to your information, so we wanted to let you know that we're integrating our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use into the LinkedIn Privacy Policy and User Agreement, effective March 26, 2014.

 

What does this mean for you? This integration of our terms of service will now make it even easier for you to discover and share content across both services. This means your SlideShare experience can be personalized based on your LinkedIn profile, your network, and your engagement with content from both services.

 

Your LinkedIn account will power a richer experience on our service, and in the future may be prioritized over other sign-up or log-in options on SlideShare. We encourage connecting your SlideShare and LinkedIn accounts, and in the future all SlideShare accounts could be merged into LinkedIn accounts. We'll let you know ahead of time if we merge these accounts.

 

We've also invested in some recent trust and security practices to benefit our members:

 

• Compliance with the U.S.-E.U. and U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Framework regarding the collection, use and retention of personal data from the European Union member countries
• Completion of TRUSTe certification process
• Protecting your information by encrypting the transmission of sensitive payment information

 

You can visit our Safety Center and Help Center for more tips on using the LinkedIn family of services (including SlideShare) smartly and securely.

 

Thanks for being a member!

The SlideShare Team
