Privacy and Security
   
Philosophy
 

Ideagrowth.com holds the privacy and security of our site visitors and members in the highest regard. The following information explains what kind of information is gathered on our site and how that information is used.

We can be reached via email at info@ideagrowth.com, post at P.O. Box 323, Cape Town, 8000, South Africa, or you can contact us by telephone at +27 (21) 424 2308. Please bring to our attention any instance where you feel these policies have been violated.

 
 
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.

   
How is email information used?
 

Email addresses are used by ideagrowth.com to communicate with you about your application and the services we provide.

   
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.
