GGI values the privacy of its members and community, ensuring that all comments left on our website are handled with care and security. When users post comments, we collect only the necessary data, such as their IP address and browser details, to help prevent spam and protect our online environment. Comments remain visible to the public, allowing for open discussions while maintaining transparency.

However, personal information within comments is never shared with third parties or used beyond its intended purpose. Members have the right to request deletion of their comments if needed, ensuring control over their digital presence. GGI remains committed to safeguarding user interactions by implementing strict privacy policies that align with ethical and legal standards. Through these measures, we foster a respectful and secure space for engagement while upholding the integrity of our organization.

GGI recognizes the power and responsibility that comes with media engagement, ensuring that all content representing the organization and its staff remains respectful, accurate, and aligned with GGI’s values. Whether through official statements, promotional materials, or social media interactions, we uphold transparency and professionalism in every communication. GGI maintains strict guidelines for media usage, preventing misinformation while fostering meaningful and positive engagement across various platforms. Our approach to social media prioritizes ethical representation, protecting the integrity of our staff and members while ensuring that all published content accurately reflects the mission and standards of GGI. Through careful monitoring and strategic media oversight, we create a trusted space for collaboration, innovation, and leadership in the digital landscape.
Cookies
GGI takes a proactive approach to managing cookies and digital data across its PCs and other devices, ensuring security, efficiency, and compliance with privacy standards. Our privacy policy outlines the responsible use of cookies to enhance user experience while protecting sensitive information. GGI devices employ secure cookie settings, restricting unnecessary tracking and limiting data storage to only essential operational needs.

Additionally, all cookies used within the organization adhere to strict access controls, preventing unauthorized collection or exposure of user data. Employees and members are informed of how cookies function within GGI’s digital systems and are provided guidance on adjusting settings to align with their privacy preferences. Regular audits and system updates reinforce data protection, ensuring that our infrastructure remains resilient against vulnerabilities. Through these measures, GGI maintains a balance between functionality and privacy, fostering a secure digital environment for all users.
Here are just a few steps taken at the GGI to manage cookies:
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
GGI takes careful measures to ensure that embedded content from external websites does not compromise the privacy or security of its organization, staff, or members. When third-party content—such as videos, articles, or interactive media—is embedded on the GGI website, it operates in the same manner as if visitors were interacting with the external site directly. These third-party platforms may collect data, use cookies, or track engagement, which is why GGI remains vigilant in selecting reputable sources that align with its values and security policies.
To safeguard member and staff privacy, GGI implements strict guidelines regarding embedded content. We assess and monitor third-party integrations to prevent unauthorized data collection and ensure compliance with industry standards. Additionally, members are informed about how embedded content functions and are given options to adjust their privacy preferences accordingly. Through these protective measures, GGI maintains transparency, respects user privacy, and upholds the integrity of its digital presence while leveraging external resources responsibly.
Individuals should know that articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
“GGI, Our Commitment—Safeguarding Your Data with Transparency & Trust”**
