post at P.O. Box 323, Cape Town, 8000, South

What
information is collected and what is not? |
| |
You can visit the public parts
of our site without telling us who you are or
revealing any personal information. While IP
addresses (the Internet address of a computer)
are logged to track a user's session, the user
remains anonymous. Tracking IP addresses gives
us an idea of which parts of our site users
are visiting and how long they spend there.
We do not link IP addresses to anything personally
identifiable. This means that a user's session
is tracked, but the user is anonymous. The user's
browser also lets us know the type of computer
and operating system being used.
The "Growth" and
"Skybound" sections are for members
only. These are password-protected Web site
areas and, naturally, we will know who those
visitors are.
Members of ideagrowth.com (entrepreneurs,
startup companies and investors) have additional
privacy information detailed in their written
agreements with us.

As an entrepreneur, who has
access to my application (which contains parts
of my business plan) if I apply for membership
to ideagrowth.com? |
| |
All submitted information is
treated as confidential by Ideagrowth.com's
staff, affiliates, and advisors. We never show
the information gathered in the application
process to anyone outside the Ideagrowth.com
evaluation team without the entrepreneur's permission.
|
| |
|
 |
As an individual Member Investor
in Skybound, who can see my name and contact
info?
|
| |
No one outside of Ideagrowth.com
will see your name without your permission.
Entrepreneurs will not be able to send business
plans directly to you. If you want to contact
an entrepreneur about their business plan, it
is up to you to release your contact information
to them (which you can do in Skybound, on a
per-plan basis).

|
 |
What levels of security does
ideagrowth.com have?
|
| |
No monetary transactions are
taking place online. Certain web site
areas available only to our members (entrepreneurs,
startup companies, and investors) are password
protected. Ideagrowth.com is not using a secure
server.
