How we hold what you share with us.
This page is maintained by GenThink Labs to describe, in plain language rather than legal prose, how information you share through GenThink Intensive program site is handled. It is meant as a statement of practice and intent rather than as a contract, and it will be updated as our thinking and the site itself continue to evolve.
What we collect
We only see what you choose to type into the application or inquiry forms, typically your name, email, organization, role, and the written responses you provide to the questions we ask. We do not sell, rent or trade this information, and we try to ask for as little of it as we can while still being able to have a real conversation with you.
How we use it
The information you share is used to read and respond to your application or inquiry, to correspond with you about it, and, where relevant, to compose cohorts thoughtfully so that the room around you is genuinely varied. Every application is read by a person on the team rather than filtered by a system, which is part of why we ask for the kinds of reflective questions we do.
Who holds it, and who we share it with
GenThink Labs is the controller of the information you share here. We rely on your consent and on what is needed to process your application or enrollment. We share it only with the service providers that run this site and send its emails, with Paddle, our Merchant of Record, which handles tuition payments, tax, and invoicing, with professional advisers where needed, and with authorities when the law requires it. We keep it only as long as it serves the conversation or enrollment and then delete or anonymize it, and we protect it with encryption and access controls. You can ask to see, correct, or delete what we hold at any time.
Cookies and analytics
The site currently uses only the minimum cookies required for it to function. If we later introduce analytics, we intend to keep them limited to understanding, in aggregate, which pages people visit and where the experience of the site could be clearer, rather than tracking who any individual visitor is.
Reaching us
If you would like to update, correct or remove information you have previously shared, or if you simply want to ask a question about how any of this works in practice, you are welcome to send us a note.
