Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider records basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you view and the time of your visit. We use this to keep the site running and secure.

The site uses cookies that it needs to work, such as cookies that remember your cookie choices. [If you add analytics, such as Google Analytics, name the tool here and explain that it measures how visitors use the site.] You can accept or decline optional cookies in the cookie banner, and you can block cookies in your browser settings.

• To keep the site secure and working properly.
• To meet our legal obligations.

How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with other companies for their own marketing.

We share information only in these cases:

• Introductions you request. When you ask us to introduce you to a partner in Guyana or North America, we share the details needed for that introduction, and only after you ask.
• Service providers. Companies that help us run the site and our communications, such as our web host and our email service [name the email service once chosen]. They may use your information only to provide their services to us.

Every Business Brief and marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also email us at info@gnata.org to stop receiving them. We may still send you messages you need, such as replies to your requests.

How long we keep information

We keep your information for as long as we need it for the purposes above. If you ask us to delete it, we will do so unless we must keep it for legal or record keeping reasons.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your information, including a secure (HTTPS) connection for this site. No website or email system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. You can also ask us to stop using it for marketing. Email info@gnata.org and we will respond within a reasonable time. Depending on where you live, including New Jersey and other U.S. states, Canada and Guyana, you may have additional rights under local law, and we will honor requests as those laws require.

Visitors outside the United States

We serve visitors in the United States, Canada and Guyana. Our website and service providers are based in the United States, so information you submit is stored and processed in the United States.

This site is for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
