2. What information we collect

Depending on your interaction with us, we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, location, organization and role; professional interests, proposals, projects, philanthropic or investment preferences; donations, event registrations, inquiries, and communications; and technical information such as IP address, device, browser, and website-use information. We may obtain information directly from you, from your participation in AIC programs, through referrals and public sources where lawful, and automatically through website technology. Please do not send sensitive personal information unless requested for a specific legitimate purpose.

3. How we use information

We use information to answer inquiries, maintain relationships, send requested updates, administer events and programs, assess applications or opportunities, facilitate introductions and collaboration, manage contributions and operational records, operate and secure our services, and comply with legal requirements. We do not sell personal contact information.

4. Legal grounds for processing

Where a legal ground is required, our processing may rely on consent, steps requested by you or performance of an agreement, compliance with legal obligations, or legitimate interests such as administering our nonprofit programs and maintaining professional relationships, where permitted and appropriately balanced against your rights. We seek separate consent when required, including for optional communications or nonessential cookies. You can withdraw consent without affecting processing already lawfully carried out.

5. Sharing and introductions

We disclose information to authorized service providers such as Salesforce, Google Workspace, website hosting, email communications, event and payment services, security providers, and professional advisers as needed for their services. We may also disclose information when legally required or in connection with an organizational transition subject to appropriate safeguards.

AIC helps connect investors, donors, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and other partners. When facilitating an introduction, we may share names, email addresses, organizational information, and relevant project details with another participant when you have given permission for that particular introduction or sharing. Permission for one introduction does not imply permission for unrestricted publication or unrelated future sharing. Participants receiving information should use it only for the purpose of the authorized connection, subject to applicable law.

6. Data storage in the United States and international access

Personal information handled through AIC’s website, contact database, and supporting services—including Salesforce and Google Workspace—is stored in the United States. AIC and authorized service providers or collaborators may access or otherwise process information from other countries when necessary for the purposes described here. Transfers and cross-border access may involve countries whose privacy rules differ from those where you live. Where applicable law requires a specific legal mechanism or safeguard for an international transfer, we will implement the required mechanism and provide additional information on request. We do not represent that a privacy notice alone authorizes a transfer.

7. How long we keep information

We retain information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, taking account of the duration of our relationship, legal and accounting obligations, ongoing programs, security, and the resolution of disputes. We then delete or anonymize information, or retain limited records where permitted or required by law. You may ask about the criteria applicable to your information.

8. Security

We use organizational and technical safeguards appropriate to the risks, such as access controls and protections against unauthorized access, alteration, loss, or disclosure. No internet system is entirely secure. Where required by law, we notify individuals and authorities of qualifying incidents.

9. Your choices and rights

Depending on the laws applicable to you, you may request confirmation and access, correction, deletion, anonymization, blocking or restriction, portability, information about sharing, withdrawal of consent, objection to certain processing, and review of qualifying automated decisions. You may complain to a competent data protection authority. Requests can be made at secretary@amazoninvestor.org with the subject “Privacy Request.” We may verify your identity, respond within applicable legal deadlines, and explain lawful limitations. You can unsubscribe from optional marketing emails using the unsubscribe instructions in those messages.

10. Cookies and analytics

Our site may use essential cookies to function and additional cookies or similar technologies for analytics or other features. Where required, we will give you choices or request consent for nonessential technology. Details and controls may also be provided through a cookie notice or preference tool. Please check that any such tool and this description reflect the technologies actually deployed.

11. Children

The website and general AIC programs are aimed at adults and organizational or professional participants. We do not intentionally request information from children without legally required parental or guardian authorization. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information improperly, please contact us.

12. Other websites

Linked websites and third-party platforms may have their own privacy practices. Their processing is governed by their respective notices.

13. Policy changes

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our programs, services, or law. We will post the updated text and date and provide additional notice or seek new consent where required.
