We collect information about you

Gimado collects personal information as part of the registration process for people joining the Gimado community. We may collect your social security number and driver license number in order to help confirm your identity. If you have a question regarding our services prior to registering as a community member, we may collect your name and email address in order to respond to your requests.

Each member has their own community member page, where they may post information about themselves. If you perform an action as an idea giver or investor, basic information regarding financial information will be available in your member profile, in addition to any other information you make the personal decision to post. You will be identified only by your screen name, which you choose and which you can use to remain anonymous. If you provide identifying information, either in your choice of screen name or otherwise, it is your choice, and you do so at your own discretion.

The information we collect from you when you register as a Gimado member is kept securely in our database. We retain this information to satisfy legal requirements such as recordkeeping and tax reporting requirements, as well as for purposes of fraud prevention, auditability and data integrity.

We protect your information

At Gimado, we are committed to maintaining the security and confidentiality of your personal and financial information. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that meet or exceed industry standards for financial institutions.

We protect your sensitive account information by storing it in encrypted form on computers not connected to the Internet. We control access to this information via secure web pages, and limit access to only those employees or third parties on a need to know basis. We do not allow visibility to Social Security number, bank account information, or credit card information via the web site.

We employ firewalls and other security technologies to protect our servers from external attack. We enable our servers with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to establish a secure connection between your computer and our servers, creating a private "conversation" that cannot be viewed or accessed by other parties. We test our systems regularly to insure that our security mechanisms are up to date.

The security of your account also depends on the protection of your Gimado password. You should not share this password with anyone. We have developed procedures for recovering your password which will not require you to send us your password via email or give it out over the phone. If you ever receive an email requesting entry of your email address and/or screen name and password, please confirm that you are on a web site with a URL beginning http://www.gimado.com/ or https://www.gimado.com.

Our use of cookies

Cookies are small text files created by a web site that store information on your computer, such as your preferences when visiting that site. Gimado uses cookies when you sign in, to keep track of your personal session, including some account identifiers so that we can ensure that you are the only person making changes to your account. We also use cookies to track your activity on our site as a unique person. All of this information is stored in an encrypted fashion for security reasons, and no personal information about you is stored.

We use session ID cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. Session ID cookies expire when you close you browser. We use a persistent cookie that remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time, so that we can recognize you when you return to our web site. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser's "help" file; however, because we use cookies for our sign-in functionality, if you choose to disable cookies you will not be able to log on to the Gimado web site.

Third party links

Gimado may post links to third party web sites that are not subject to this privacy policy. Some member pages may also contain links unrelated to Gimado. If you visit these web sites, we encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing them with any personal information.

Helpful tips on protecting your information

Screen name selection: Your screen name is what members of Gimado and visitors to our web site use to identify you. In order to protect your privacy, you should choose a screen name that does not closely resemble your real name.

Password reminder: It is a good practice to select a password for your account that is unique, a combination of letters, numbers and symbols, and isn't predictable or easy to guess. For instance, "Pizza" may be your favorite food and easy to remember, but "Pizza37!" would be difficult for someone to guess. Another good practice is to change your password periodically (every 90 days).

If you use the Discussion Forums on this web site, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We do not monitor or mask personally identifiable information that may appear on the forums, so if you choose to put personal information on the forums you do so at your own risk.

Changes to this policy

To accommodate changes to our web site, changing technology, and possible legal requirements, Gimado may change this privacy policy at any time. We will promptly post any policy changes to this page and notify our members directly with notice of any material changes.

For additional information, or if you have any questions regarding this policy or the privacy practices at Gimado, please submit your questions or comments directly to privacy@gimado.com via email. Any personal information you submit will be used solely to respond to your requests.
