Privacy Policy

1. What We Collect

We collect only the information you actively give us, plus minimal technical data:

• Coffee chat requests: When you submit the coffee chat form, we collect your name, email address, affiliation (optional), the topic you want to discuss, and your preferred meeting format (online, in person, or either).
• Email correspondence: If you email us at welcome@cgcorp.io, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.
• Technical data: Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure automatically records standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited, timestamps) for security and reliability purposes.

We do not run advertising trackers, we do not build marketing profiles, and we do not collect sensitive categories of data on this website.

2. Why We Collect It

• To respond to you: Coffee chat details are used solely to review your request and reply to you by email.
• To operate the site: Server logs are used to keep the website secure, diagnose errors, and prevent abuse.
• To meet legal obligations: We may retain or disclose information where the law requires it.

We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not send marketing emails without your consent.

3. Where Your Data Is Stored

Coffee chat requests are stored in our managed cloud database, hosted by our infrastructure provider on secure servers. Access is restricted: submissions are written through a server-side process that validates each request, and the database is not directly readable or writable by site visitors. When you submit a request, a notification email containing the details you provided is sent to welcome@cgcorp.io through our email delivery provider.

4. Who We Share It With

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only with the service providers that operate this website on our behalf:

• Our website hosting and database provider (stores site data and server logs)
• Our email delivery provider (delivers coffee chat notifications to us)

These providers process data under confidentiality obligations and only as needed to provide their services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and safety.

5. How Long We Keep It

Coffee chat requests are kept only as long as needed to handle your inquiry and any follow-up conversation, after which they are deleted. Server logs are retained for a limited period according to our hosting provider's standard retention schedule. You can ask us to delete your information at any time (see Section 7).

6. How We Protect It

We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), strict HTTP security headers, access controls on our database, and server-side validation of all form submissions. That said, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Data portability

To exercise any of these rights, email us at welcome@cgcorp.io. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

8. Cookies

This website uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies. Details about what we use and how to control them are in our Cookie Policy.

9. Third-Party Links

Our website links to third-party sites such as X and LinkedIn. We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content. Please review their privacy policies before providing them any information.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
