1. Introduction
World Tech Forum (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal data of developers, innovators, startup founders, and enterprise leaders who engage with our borderless tech summits and asynchronous platforms. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you participate in our programs or visit our digital ecosystem.
2. Information We Collect
To support an asynchronous, frictionless operational model, we collect only the essential data required to facilitate global collaboration and technical programming:
- Identity & Contact Data: Name, email address, institutional or startup affiliation, and regional location.
- Technical & Professional Data: Programming languages, tech stacks, project descriptions, startup metrics, and summit track preferences.
- Communication Data: Text-based inquiries, asynchronous feedback submissions, and documentation annotations shared through our digital channels.
3. How We Use Your Information
We utilize collected data strictly for operational efficiency and ecosystem scaling:
- Delivering role-specific summit tracks, masterclasses, and startup showcases.
- Facilitating text-first, asynchronous communication and mentorship matching without mandatory discovery calls.
- Tracking regional adoption, project milestones, and post-summit impact assessments to improve our global network.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal or technical data. Information is shared only under strict operational parameters:
- Mentor and Partner Networks: Sharing asynchronous pitch packages and technical briefs with international mentors and enterprise partners solely for evaluation and collaboration.
- Legal Compliance: Disclosing information if required by applicable international laws or legal processes.
5. Data Security
We employ robust administrative and technical safeguards to protect your code repositories, pitch packages, and personal communications from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
6. Your Privacy Rights
You retain full control over your digital footprint. You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting our support team through our asynchronous channels.
7. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our operational model or global standards. Continued participation in our summits constitutes acceptance of those updates.
