Personal Information We Collect

“Personal information” means information about an identifiable individual (or as otherwise defined under applicable law). The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with WGOB and may include:

  • Membership information you provide when you apply for or manage membership (e.g., name, email, password, company, title/position, address, and directory/profile information).

  • Event and program registration information (e.g., name, email, billing address, company, position, phone number, login credentials, and sector/industry).

  • Subscription information (e.g., subscribing to our General Mailing List).

  • Information from other sources, including third parties who host or co-host events with us (e.g., attendance lists), publicly available sources, and social media platforms you use to engage with us (subject to your privacy settings and the platform’s rules).

  • Other information you provide, such as survey responses, feedback, or other submissions relating to our services, events, or programs.

How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

  • administer and operate our website;

  • personalize your experience and create/manage accounts (including member profiles and directory listings);

Payment Processing (Glue Up + Stripe)

When you purchase tickets, memberships, or other paid services through WGOB workflows powered by Glue Up, payment processing may be handled by Stripe (acting as a payment processor). Glue Up+1

  • WGOB does not receive or store full payment card numbers. Payment card data is handled directly by the payment processor and/or the Glue Up platform as applicable.

  • Stripe describes the personal data it collects and how it uses it in its Privacy Policy. Stripe

(If you want, I can also add a one-line reference here to Stripe’s security posture, but the above is typically the key privacy disclosure.)

When We Share Personal Information

We may share personal information in the following circumstances:

1) Partners and Sponsors

We may share personal information with WGOB National Strategic Partners, WGOB Speaker Series Sponsors, and WGOB Summit Sponsors (collectively, “Partners and Sponsors”) for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy (for example, administering events and programs). Where we do so, we require appropriate safeguards and expectations for use consistent with this policy.
