Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 28 – April –  2025

Welcome to the Global Elevation Network (GEN). Your privacy matters to us, and we’re committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect the information you share with us through our website ThisIsGEN.com

1. Information We Collect

We collect two types of information:

1.1 Personal Information
When you interact with our site or attend a GEN experience, we may collect:

 

• Name
  
• Email address
  
• Location (city/country)
  
• Social media handles (if provided)
  
• Interests, demographics, or community preferences (if requested or submitted via forms or email)
  
  

At some in-person events, we may also collect phone numbers through opt-in stations such as photo booths. This is solely for the purpose of delivering your photos directly to your device. We will not contact you by phone unless you’ve given explicit permission to do so. Please note that these booths may be operated by third-party vendors, who may have their own privacy policies.

 

1.2 Non-Personal Information
This includes anonymous data such as:

• Browser type and version
  
• Device type
  
• IP address
  
• Pages visited and time spent on site
  
• Referral links
  
  

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Personalize your experience with GEN
  
• Communicate updates, event invites, and curated content
  
• Improve our services, features, and site functionality
  
• Analyze trends and audience engagement
  
• Build a better community through insight-driven design
  
  

We do not currently sell or rent your personal information to third parties. If our data practices change in the future as part of our evolving business model, we will update this policy and provide clear notice before any such changes take effect.

3. Cookies & Tracking

Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies to optimize functionality and personalize content. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features of the Site may not function properly.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services to support our platform (e.g., mailing list providers, event tech platforms, payment processors, analytics tools). These services are governed by their own privacy policies and terms. At events, any third-party service (such as photo booths or brand activations) collecting data may also have their own practices — we encourage you to review those before sharing personal information.

5. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored securely using trusted cloud platforms. We implement industry-standard measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

That said, no digital transmission is 100% secure. We encourage you to take precautions and reach out if you suspect any issues.

6. Your Rights & Choices

You have the right to:

• Request access to or correction of your personal information
  
• Opt out of communications at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” or contacting us
  
• Request deletion of your personal information from our systems
  
• Ask what information we have about you, including any optional interests or demographic data submitted via email or forms
  
  

To exercise these rights, email us at: global.elevation.network@gmail.com

7. Children’s Privacy

GEN is intended for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under the age of 18.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law or services. We will post the updated version with a revised date at the top.
