It is the policy of the Global Brand Forum to collect only that personally-identifying information (such as name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number) that visitors to the Global Brand Forum's website knowingly and voluntarily provide by completing one of the forms on the website. If you do provide personally-identifying information through one of our forms, that information may be shared with our finance and logistics partners and providers, who are contractually permitted to use such information solely in connection with organizing and conducting Global Brand Forum activities. Should you register for one of the Global Brand Forum activities, your contact information will be displayed to other participants of that activity for networking purposes.

The Global Brand Forum is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. The Global Brand Forum does not collect, save or store such personally-identifying information from our visitors who just browse through our website without completing and e-mailing any forms, and does not attempt to identify users or share user information with any parties outside of the Global Brand Forum, except as described above, in the event of a suspected attempt to deliberately circumvent our system's security with the intent to gain unauthorized access to or to do physical damage (for example, an attack by hackers), and as required in the course of officially authorized law enforcement investigations.

When you send us personal identifying information via e-mail (that is, in a message containing a question or comment, or by filling out a form that e-mails us this information), we use it to respond to your requests. We may forward your e-mail to other employees or partners of the Global Brand Forum who are better able to answer your questions. In no event, do we distribute lists of e-mail addresses to any party for commercial purposes. Information collected via e-mail will be retained at our discretion in a directly readable form as long as necessary to complete our response.

Should you have any questions or concerns about the Global Brand Forum's privacy statement and use of personal information, please feel free to contact us by e-mail at enquiries@globalbrandforum.org
