We collect this information using cookies and similar technologies, as described below.
We may also receive information about you from others, such as event organizers, business partners, and publicly available sources.
How We Use Information
We use personal information to respond to your inquiries, operate and improve the Site, and send you updates about our products, services, and events. We also use it to evaluate job applicants and to protect the Site and our business.
We use personal information to comply with legal obligations, including export control and sanctions laws, and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. We may also use it for other purposes we describe when we collect it, or with your consent.
Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and understand how visitors use it. Some are set by third parties, such as analytics providers, which may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites.
You can set your browser to block or delete cookies, but parts of the Site may not work properly if you do. The Site does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals.
How We Share Information
We share personal information with service providers that support our business, such as hosting, analytics, email, customer relationship management, and recruiting providers. We may also share it with business partners for joint events or offerings you sign up for or ask about, and with our professional advisors.

We may disclose personal information when we believe the law requires it, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ThoughtForge or others. We may also transfer it in connection with an actual or proposed merger, acquisition, financing, or other corporate transaction, including due diligence. We do not sell personal information.
Retention and Security
We keep personal information as long as reasonably needed for the purposes in this Privacy Policy, unless the law requires or permits longer retention. We use reasonable measures designed to protect personal information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
