Respecting the privacy of the visitors using our website is a major priority for the organizers behind Global Entrepreneurship Week (the Week). The following statement will help you understand how the Foundation collects, uses and safeguards the personal information you provide to us on our website.

(Please note that this policy applies only to the Week website and not to any other websites to which we link. Your interaction with any other website, including those that the Week links to, is subject to that website's own rules and policies. Please read those rules and policies before proceeding.)

Types of information we collect

The two types of information collected on the website are: (1) personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis (voluntary registration) and (2) website use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our website.

Voluntary Registration

Visitors to the website may knowingly choose to register for an account that will help manage their communications preferences and enable them to connect directly to other users through a variety of tools. Visitors will be asked to provide their name, e-mail address, telephone number, work address and other pertinent information. Visitors may also indicate topics of interest, which will assist us in tailoring our content to your needs.

Cookies

To enable us to offer you the best possible experience when you visit the Week website and to offer continually updated information, we assign you a unique identification number stored in a file on your computer called a "cookie." Cookies by themselves cannot be used to find out the identity of any user. This unique identification number automatically identifies your browser - but not you - to our computers whenever you interact and browse a Foundation Web site.

The cookies automatically gather certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to the website and areas visited on the site. We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our visitors use parts of the site, so we can improve our site to ensure that it is appealing to as many people possible.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

The Week does not rent, sell, or share any personal information collected through voluntary registration to any non-affiliated organization. Host organizations responsible for coordinating Global Entrepreneurship Week in your country are considered to be affiliated to the Week for the purposes of this website.

The information you provide to the Week is used to better understand the content needs of registrants to our Web site. Our goal in collecting personal information through and monitoring visitor traffic patterns through use of cookies is to provide you with the best available Web experience for online entrepreneurship information.
