Effective Date:  March 5, 2021

​​​

Global Podcast Inc. (“GPI”) respects your privacy and is committed to collecting, maintaining and using personal information about you responsibly. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to all of your use of any of the websites created and maintained by GPI, including http://chicagobusinesspodcast.com, http://globalpodcast.com and associated websites (the “Sites”). This Policy describes how your personal information will be treated as you use the Sites.  

 

BY USING THE SITES YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY.  PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

 

1. Information We Collect From You When You Visit The Sites

 

In general, you may visit the Sites without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself except as set forth in this section. 

 

Like many websites, we use “cookies” on the Sites. Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that can be downloaded to your device when you visit a website. We use cookies on the Sites for a variety of different purposes:

• Cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around each website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of that Site.

• Performance and analytics cookies (including Google Analytics and Facebook Analytics) which keep track of the pages that you visit and the videos and other content you access, so we can determine which content is most popular and improve the performance of the Sites. 

• Cookies which keep track of how you share content from the Sites via social media or email, using sharing buttons. 

​

By using the Sites, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this Policy. You can disable cookies on your device at any time by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However, doing so may limit your ability to view all the pages of a Site or use online services that require registration. You can find more information about cookies at allaboutcookies.org and youronlinechioices.com. 

​

2. Information You Submit To Us Through The Sites

​

We do not collect information about you such as your name, address, telephone number, email addresses, etc., unless you choose to provide that information to us. For example, you may contact us when you register for an event, request a publication, sign up for our mailing list, send a resume, or you may call us, or ask us to contact you. We maintain that information to accommodate your request. We may use this information to inform you of events, publications and the like that might be of interest to you.

​

Unless specifically requested and you use the method that we identify for such purpose, we ask that you not send us any confidential or sensitive information such as credit card numbers, national ID numbers, social security numbers, health insurance number, license numbers, birthdays or the like.

 

3. Links

 

Links to websites that are not operated by or for GPI (“Third Party Sites”) may be provided within the Sites, solely as a convenience to you. If you use these links, you will leave the Site you are then visiting. This Privacy Policy does not apply to Third Party Sites. We have not reviewed the Third Party Sites, do not control and are not responsible for any of their content or their privacy policies, if any. We do not endorse or make any representations about them, or any information, software or other products or materials found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them. If you decide to access any of the Third Party Sites listed on or linked to from any of the Sites, you should understand that you do so at your own risk.

​​

4. Sharing of Information

​​

GPI may also disclose and/or transfer your personal information (i) to its trusted third party service providers (for example, companies that provide systems, web hosting and other IT services; internal and external advisors and auditors); (ii) if required by applicable law; (iii) in connection with a reorganization or combination of our company with another company, (iv) if it believes that such disclosure is necessary to enforce or apply its terms of use and other agreements or otherwise protect and defend GPI’s rights, property or safety or that of our clients and other users of the Sites; (v) in order to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or other legal obligation, or a regulatory or government inquiry; or (vi) with your consent.

​

5. Security

 

We seek to use reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative measures to protect user information within GPI against unauthorized or unlawful access or processing, and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage. We believe that these measures are reasonably adapted to the nature of the information in our custody.

 

However, even though GPI makes reasonable efforts to protect information in its custody, no data storage or transmission over the Internet and no security system is fully secure. Thus, we cannot guarantee the security of any information we may have collected or received from you or transmitted to you. If you believe your information is not secure due to a problem in our systems, please immediately notify us of the problem at the address provided in the “How to Contact Us” section.

​

6. Aggregated, Anonymized, or Statistical Information

 

We generate and use aggregated, anonymized, or statistical information about the use of the Sites. We may provide this information to third parties such as our advisers or consultants for research, analytical or strategic purposes. This information is not intended to allow the identification of any specific user of the Sites.

​

7. Choice Regarding Marketing

 

If you no longer want to receive marketing-related material from us, you may opt-out of receiving these communications by following the unsubscribe instructions in such communications or by contacting us as indicated in the “How to Contact Us” section. We will try to comply with your request as soon as practicable.
