We need to collect and process this information in order to successfully meet Your needs and expectations, such as through delivery of the products/services You purchased or requested, and other purposes listed below. While observing the principle of Data Minimization, We will not collect or maintain Personal Information that is irrelevant to the scope and purpose of the services We provide to Our members, customers and visitors.

With Whom We May Share Personal Information
GALEAI may share Personal Information with Our business partners in order to provide them an opportunity to offer products or services that may be of interest to You. GALEAI also occasionally engages other companies to provide some of the limited services outlined above, as well as consulting services, data modeling, session monitoring and Website analytics, printing, Website and systems hosting, and data storage. We only provide those companies with access to Personal Information if required to deliver the requested services. These companies are prohibited from using that Personal Information for any other purpose.
Disclosure to third parties — On occasion, GALEAI may disclose Your Personal Information to a third party. Those circumstances include when: authorized by You; permitted under this Privacy Policy; required by statue or regulation; in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process served on GALEAI; protect and defend the rights or property of GALEAI; protect the personal safety of GALEAI personnel or members of the public in urgent circumstances; enforce GALEAI’s Privacy Policy or Terms of Use.
Children under 13 - We do not knowingly solicit information online from or market online to children under the age of 13.

How We Safeguard Personal Information
Site Security Features
TLS Technology and How You Benefit from It — GALEAI has taken a number of steps to enhance the protection of Personal Information sent to or from GALEAI over the Internet. We require that a secure session be established, using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This is done any time You supply or access information in one of Our secure online areas.
User ID and Password — Many areas of the site require the use of a user ID and password as an additional security measure that helps protect Your Personal Information. This security measure allows GALEAI to verify who You are, thereby allowing You access to Your account information and preventing unauthorized access. When You have finished using a secure area of GALEAI’s Website, make sure You always click on the "Log Out" link which appears on every secure page. When You click on the "Log Out" link, You will be given the option to end Your secure session. No further secure transactions can be conducted without re-entering Your user ID and password. You should be aware that browser software often "caches" a page as You look at it, meaning that some pages are saved in Your computer's temporary memory. Therefore, You may find that clicking on Your "Back" button shows You a saved version of a previously viewed page. Caching in no way affects the security of Your confidential user ID or password.
No Guarantee — Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Because there are several entities involved in the flow of data over the Internet, despite Our efforts, GALEAI cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information You transmit to Us, or to or from Our online products or services. Email messages sent to or from a website may not be secure. Confidential information should not be sent by email or if You do so, the confidential content should be attached to the email message on an encrypted file or at least protected by a strong password which You will convey to Us via an alternative communication channel (not the same email account). Site visitors sending email accept the risk that a third party may intercept email messages. If You have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact Us at information@GaleAI.co
Linking to Other Internet Sites
You should be aware that other Internet sites that link to Our sites or to a GALEAI email may contain privacy provisions that differ from these. We don’t control those sites or the information they collect about You. To ensure Your privacy is protected, We recommend that You review the privacy statements of other Internet sites You visit.
How Long Do We Store Your Personal Information
We keep Your Personal Information only so long as We need it to provide the service You've requested of Us (including membership, meeting registration and attendance, publication subscription, etc.), to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or to comply with legal requirements. GALEAI vendors, as described in this policy, may have different retention periods for Your Personal Information, which You should assess directly with the applicable vendor.
How We Protect Your Personal Information
We have appropriate (technical, process and human) security measures in place to prevent Personal Information from being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an unauthorized/unlawful way. We limit access to Your Personal Information to those who have a genuine business need to do so. Those processing Your Personal Information will do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We also have procedures in place to detect and address any suspected data security breach. We will notify You and any applicable governmental entity of a suspected data security breach where We are legally required to do so.
How You Can Access and Change Personal Information
Our commitment to Your privacy includes multiple ways You reach Us and inquire about the Personal Information in Our possession. If You have questions, comments, or complaints concerning Our privacy practices or if You wish to change, access, or remove Your Personal Information, please contact Us as indicated below. We will attempt, where practical, to respond to Your requests and to provide You with additional privacy related information.

Please note that opting out from some services or asking for some of Your Personal Information to be erased (depending on which Personal Information), may impair GALEAI’s ability to proceed with the delivery of one or more of its Services to You. Additionally, updates or corrections to certain types of Personal Information will require independent verification prior to implementation of any permanent change to Our files. GALEAI may refuse to erase some Personal Information if and when GALEAI is required to retain the Personal Information by law or contractual obligations.
