Privacy Policy

When you join the B3D waitlist or submit an application, we collect personal information you provide directly, including your name, email address, academic credentials, institutional affiliation, areas of expertise, and engagement preferences.

We may also collect non-personally identifiable information automatically when you visit our website, including browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring URLs. This information is used solely to improve the functionality and user experience of our site.

Information you provide is used to manage your waitlist registration, communicate program updates, process applications, match scholars with partner institutions, and deliver program-related communications.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information for advertising purposes or share it with marketing partners.

By joining the B3D waitlist, you consent to receive program-related communications including cohort updates, application announcements, and B3D news. You may opt out of these communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in any email we send.

We will not contact you for purposes unrelated to the B3D program without your explicit consent.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Access to your personal information is restricted to authorized personnel who require it to operate, develop, or improve the B3D program.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including managing your participation in the B3D program, or as required by applicable law.

If we become aware that a minor has submitted personal information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Your continued use of the B3D website or program following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
