PRIVACY OVERVIEW

For all InnovateEnergy / Stone Fort Group events and communities, our policy is the same. The information we maintain from you is for our internal use to help us serve you better by providing the most relevant news and bringing together our communities for the most cutting-edge events.

What information do we collect?

In order to request information from, or submit information to, Stone Fort Group or any of our communities, we may ask you to provide information about yourself or your company by completing and submitting a form, subscribing to communications or by registering for one of our events. On these forms, we may ask that you submit personal information, such as your name, company name, mailing address, phone number and email address. In order to tailor our messages to you and provide you only with the information you’d like to receive, we may also ask voluntary demographic information, if you’d like to receive event updates and/or newsletters and what communities you are interested in receiving these updates from.

Stone Fort Group collects your information solely for the purposes of:

  • Personalizing your website experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings in which you are most interested.

  • Allowing us to provide better responses to your customer service questions and requests.

  • Learning about website visitors and customers and to tailor specific features, tools, promotions, and/or other notifications.

  • To send periodic emails, news and updates. The email address you provide when completing a form will only be used to send you information and updates pertaining to your request or event registrations that you have purchased.

  • To create aggregated statistical data and other aggregated and/or inferred non-personal Information, which we or our business partners may use to provide and improve our respective services.

  • When you register for our events, our registration system collects payment details (including credit card information) and information regarding the purchase specifically to record your status as paid for the event. We do not keep credit card details.

Stone Fort Group maintains the privacy of this information and does not pass on details submitted through this website to other organizations. We do not rent or sell our customer lists. If you are registered for an event, part of your registration includes permission for us to share your contact information on a limited basis with professional organizations – such as our event sponsors/exhibitors – to promote similar products and services related to your area of interest.  If you do not consent to share your personal information with third party organizations please email info@stonefortgroup.com.
