1. Privacy policy – GDPR and Personal information

Introduction and Overview of our Privacy Policy

At GBT we understand that privacy is an important issue for our customers and take our role in protecting your privacy seriously: the following paragraphs outline our policies for doing so. Our Policy covers the treatment of all personal information that the company collects when you interact with our website and customer database, submit information through our forms, and/or participate in our programs. This Policy is further subject to the company’s Terms and Conditions posted on the website.

There are two important clarifications as you begin to read. First, this document will varyingly refer to “the company” which is a reference to GBT, the company with whom you are interacting. Next, for the purposes of this document the term ‘you’ or ‘customer’ or ‘purchaser’ or ‘applicant’ refers to you the individual, whether you are a student or teacher of a participating university who is interested in, planning to or already participating in our programming. Please continue to read our Privacy Policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

We collect two types of information: personal information that you provide to us and non-personal information automatically collected through automated means.

THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Personal Information

Generally and wherever possible, personal information is collected directly from the customer, although there may be occasions when information is collected from third parties, such as host or partner universities or a publically maintained record. If you are registered with us, you can access content and services that we offer only to registered users. Registered users also have the option of changing or deleting the data specified during registration at any time. We are also able to provide you with information about the personal data we hold about you at any time. If you do not want to provide us with your Personal Information, you are not required to do so; however, while you may still access the Website, certain services may not be available to you. By providing your Personal Information to us via the Website, you consent to receive information and updates from us, our representatives or our authorized third party service providers (except where prohibited by law).

Personal information that we might collect includes:

• Your contact details to communicate with you. Things like your email address, mailing address, and phone number.

• Your academic information, such as your transcript and educational background to forward to our affiliated institutions so that you may further your education.

• Your health and medical information to ensure your specific needs are addressed (e.g. allergies, prescriptions, disabilities, etc).

• Your national identification information (i.e. social security number), passport and related data to fulfil international immigration regulations, register you with the proper local institutions and authorities, and organize logistics essential to your program.

Non-personal Information

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically recorded. We use web analytics tools that rely on cookies, web beacons, and other automated tracking technologies to help us analyze how users interact with our website, how we can improve our website, how we can personalize your website experience and provide you with information we believe may be of interest to you. This information does not individually identify you as a person. Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us to optimize our Internet presence and the underlying technology.

Non-personal information that we might collect automatically includes:

• The type of web browser you are using

• The operating system you are using

• The domain name of your Internet service provider

Our website uses third party tracking technologies like Google Analytics and Google Conversion Tracking. In both cases these technologies rely on the use of “cookies” and “web beacons.” A cookie is a small amount of data which is sent to your browser from a web site’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Most browsers automatically accept cookies as the default setting. You can modify your browser setting to reject our cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie by editing your browser options. However, if a browser is set not to accept cookies or if a user rejects a cookie, some portions of the website and services may not function properly. A web beacon is an electronic image, also called a “gif,” that may be used on our web pages to deliver cookies, count visits and compile statistics on usage and campaign effectiveness or in our emails to tell if an email has been opened and acted upon.

To better understand how Google may use the information collected through Google Analytics to evaluate Users’ and Visitors’ activity on our Site see Google Analytics Privacy and Data Sharing. You can obtain more information about cookies by visiting http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

HOW WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION

As stated above (What Information We Collect), we collect your information for:

• Operations: To operate, maintain, enhance and provide all features of our programming to provide the services and information that you request

• Improvements: We use the information, other than customer Data, to understand and analyze the usage trends and preferences of our visitors and users, to improve our products, services, website, and to develop new products, services, features, and functionality.

• Communications: For administrative purposes such as customer service, to address intellectual property infringement, right of privacy violations, or defamation issues related to the customer Data or Personal Data posted on the Service or to provide updates on promotions and events, relating to products and services offered by us and by third parties we work with.

We do not sell, rent, trade or share any information gathered with any other companies or third parties who are not directly involved in the delivery of your program. This information is used only internally by company administrators and administrators of any company partners in the locations where you sign up so that they may better understand your needs and provide a better service.

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our website. As an example, if you purchase any product or service available through the Website, you may be transferred to a website operated by a third party processor and be required to provide financial and other Personal Information to that third party processor. As another example, you may decide to connect with us through various social media tools, such as Facebook or Twitter, that are provided by third parties. Any collection, processing, or use of information by such a third party is subject to that third party’s terms of use and privacy policy, and we will not be responsible for their actions.

Personal information may be disclosed where an individual has consented to the disclosure, or when the disclosure is done in the best interest of the individual such as the case of a medical emergency, a serious and imminent threat to a person’s life, health or safety, a requirement under law, or authorized by law, or a requirement for an enforcement body. The company establishes contracts with all third party organizations affirming that they will also uphold and abide by the same regulations and principles.

In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology by a third party.

GDPR INFORMATION RIGHTS AND PRACTICES

As of May 25th, 2018, all European Union residents and citizens are granted personal privacy as a fundamental human right.

  1. Terms and conditions for the private tours, lectures, site visits and workshops

These Terms and Conditions set forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your purchase of tours, site visits, lectures and workshops. When ordering and booking tours, lectures, site visits and workshops by email, you, as the purchaser (“you” or the “Purchaser”, or “Applicant”), are acknowledging, agreeing to and accepting all of these Terms & Conditions and you are entering into a binding and enforceable legal agreement with GBT. You hereby represent and warrant that you are authorized to enter into these Terms & Conditions. Please read these Terms & Conditions carefully since, by ordering by email, you are signifying your acknowledgment, agreement, and assent to these Terms & Conditions.

When ordering a tour, site visits, lecture or workshop by email and agreeing to the proposals sent to you, you will receive an invoice 4 weeks before the events are going to take place that has to be paid as an international bank transfer. Submitter and receiver share the transaction fee. The invoice will specify the agreed events, number of participants, price, the date of the events ect. You as the purchaser will have to pay the invoice 2 weeks before the events are going to take place – The payment is binding and non-refundable after payment – also in case you are less participants than anticipated.  In case you are more participants an extra invoice will be sent and will have to be paid before the tours and events.

That is of course unfortunate. In case you need to cancel you can do it up to 4 weeks before the tour or event with no charge. Cancelling the tour/event less than 4 weeks before the planned activities, you will receive a new invoice with an administration fee of 10% of the total amount (in case you have booked non- refundable visits or activities, we will have asked for a deposit 6 weeks in advance to cover the costs that will not be paid back). If you cancel with less than 2 weeks and have paid the invoice the payment is binding and non-refundable. If the cancellation occurs due to force majeure in relation to the Covid19 situation all money will be paid back minus the bank transaction fee – no administration fee will be included. If cancelled later than 4 days prior to the planned tour the money will not be refunded.

We never cancel tours in case of “bad” weather, so please wear suitable clothes. In case it is pouring non stop – we can include a coffee stop where we can deliver some of the stories or we can try to reschedule the tour to another day. We will try to be flexible but it will under no circumstances be possible to get a refund.
