World Economic Forum Uplink Cookie Notice

Last updated: 29/03/2019

• About cookies

A cookie is a small piece of information that a web server asks the user’s browser to store on the user’s local computer, and then later their browser presents this information to the web server. In its simplest form, a cookie is an identifying number.

• What type of cookies do we use?

We use two types of cookies on Uplink: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie helps us recognize you as an existing user, so it's easier to return to Uplink or interact with our services without signing in again. In the event you sign up to one of our platforms, a persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by the service when you return to one of our sites. Session cookies only last as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).

We use cookies for anonymous user tracking. The Forum web server assigns each user a unique numerical ID (“ID”). All requests for pages are tagged with that ID, and by analysing the log files, the Forum can determine how many unique users use Uplink.

• How do we use cookies?

The Forum does not know the identity of a person based on the ID. The cookies used by the Forum do not contain any personal data about you nor are they used to look up your personal data.

When you have entered personal data about yourself in one of the Forum’s registration forms, the Forum may relate that information to the cookie data. This information together with cookie data may be used to contact you and send you new product trials.

Uplink may use cookies for analytics and to improve your user experience. Uplink will usually not natively use cookies, but our analytics providers do use these cookies to improve user experience.

Our analytics providers include:

• Google [Privacy Policy]

• parse.ly [Privacy Policy]

• chart beat [Privacy Policy]

• mix panel [Privacy Policy]

These providers use cookies to tailor your user experience, gather statistics on usage and engagement and help better inform the Forum’s efforts to deliver world-class engagement, knowledge and events.

You are free to decline the cookies if your browser or browser add-on allows, except if the cookies are required to prevent fraud or ensure the security of Uplink that the Forum controls. However, disabling the use of cookies will result in a less user-friendly experience of the Uplink or can fully prevent you from using Uplink.

        To facilitate Uplink community and/or platform engagement (we may share your general profile information which may include your contact details);

We will use the personal data we collect from you only for the purposes described in this Policy or for purposes that we explain to you at the time we collect your personal data.

On what legal grounds do we process your personal data?

In general, we will process your personal data in order to manage our relationship with you and to execute the Terms of Use of the Uplink platform. We may also be required to process your personal data in order to comply with local laws and regulations.

Otherwise, we will process your personal data in order to carry out our business legitimate interests, where such interests do not override your fundamental rights and liberties. Where required, we will ask you to provide your consent for certain processing activities.

Where the provision of personal data is based on a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract, you are obliged to provide us with this personal data. If you refuse or do not allow us to process your personal data, you may not be able to use Uplink.

The Forum may share your personal data with the following parties:

1) Forum Entities

2) Third Party Service Providers

The Forum may share your personal data with third party service providers, e.g. to host your data or for the maintenance and support of Uplink.

How we protect your privacy

We will process personal data in accordance with this Policy, as follows:

    Fairness: We will process your personal data fairly. This means that we are transparent about how we process personal data and that we will process it in accordance with Data Protection Law.
    Purpose limitation: We will process your personal data for specified and lawful purposes and will not process it in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes.
    Proportionality: We will process your personal data in a way that is proportionate to the purposes which the processing is intended to achieve.
    Data accuracy: We take appropriate measures to ensure that personal data that we hold about you is accurate, complete and, where necessary, kept up to date. However, it is also your responsibility to ensure that your personal data is kept as accurate, complete and current as possible by informing the Forum promptly of any changes or errors. You should notify us of any changes to the personal data that we hold about you (e.g. a change of email address).
    Data security: We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data that we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal data. In particular, any personal data provided to the Forum by Users of Uplink is handled with due care and security, and will not be used in ways other than as set forth in this Policy, or in any site/area-specific policies, or in ways that are not compliant with Data Protection Law. Furthermore, the Forum employs a range of technologies and security measures to protect the personal data maintained on Forum systems from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction. Finally, all Forum employees who have access to and are associated with the processing of personal data are obliged to respect the confidentiality of all such personal data.

International data transfers

The Forum operates at a global level and, as a result, your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident In some cases, these countries may be located outside the European Union (“EU”) or EEA and therefore may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country of residence.

Specifically, the personal data that you upload to your Uplink account is stored and processed by the Forum in Switzerland. If applicable, your personal data may be transferred to the United States where it may be processed by the World Economic Forum LLC (USA) and to other countries outside the EU/EEA where the Forum has its offices (“Forum Entities”) are established. The Forum may also share your personal data with third party service providers located outside the EU/EEA who are acting on behalf of the Forum. In such case, we make sure that your personal data is either transferred to third countries outside the EU/EEA that are deemed "adequate" by the European Commission (a list of adequate countries is available on the European Commission's website), or alternatively, where your personal data is not sent to a country that provides adequate protection, we will put in place appropriate safeguards with the entity receiving your personal data (e.g. the EU standard contractual clauses) to ensure that it remains protected while it is being processed outside the EU/EEA in accordance with Data Protection Law.

How long do we keep your personal data?

The Forum will retain your personal data for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Policy.

For example, we may retain personal data we obtain from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (such as to provide you access to Uplink or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

Moderation aims

UpLink provides increasing opportunities for entrepreneurs and champions of the Sustainable Development Goals to publish contributions, discuss and hopefully scale solutions through these interactions. We wish to ensure that this platform remains inclusive, safe, interesting and fun.
Community Guidelines

Here are 10 guidelines which provide the standards under which we operate the platform. These apply across the site, while moderation decisions are also informed by the context in which comments and contributions are made.

1. We welcome debate and dissent, but personal attacks (against contributors or other users), persistent trolling and mindless abuse will not be tolerated. UpLink strives to be a welcoming space.

2. We value critical dialogue but will not allow misrepresentation of the World Economic Forum, UpLink partners and contributors to be published on the platform. For the sake of healthy debate, we will distinguish between constructive, focused argument and smear tactics.

3. We understand that people often feel strongly about the topics featured on UpLink, but we will consider removing any content that others might find extremely offensive or threatening. Please respect other people’s views and beliefs and consider your impact on others when making your contribution.

4. We reserve the right to curtail conversations which result in flaming or abusive behaviour based on prejudice or generalisations. Users are asked to find ways of sharing their views that do not feel divisive, threatening or toxic to others.

5. We will not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia or other forms of hate-speech, or contributions that could be interpreted as such.

6. We will remove any content that may represent a reputational or legal risk to the World Economic Forum, UpLink or any of our core partners. This includes any potentially libellous or defamatory postings, or material posted in potential breach of copyright.

7. We will remove any posts that are obviously commercial or otherwise spam-like. Our aim is that this site should provide a space for people to interact with our content and each other, and we actively discourage commercial entities passing themselves off as individuals, in order to post advertising material or links. This may also apply to people or organisations who frequently post propaganda or external links that do not add substance to topic-related conversations on UpLink.

8. Contribute relevant content, please. UpLink spans a variety of topics and content can be wide-ranging, but if you post something which is unrelated to the original topic then it may be removed in order to keep the thread on track.

9. Misunderstandings happen- please try to articulate what you are saying clearly and expect that people may understand you differently than you intended. It isn’t always easy to come across as desired using text- kindly maintain a reasonable tone and help us maintain an open environment.

10. This platform is for you. Help us, and each other, by notifying us of potential issues; and by keeping discussions welcoming, relevant and appropriate.

How we moderate

Users who seriously, persistently or wilfully ignore these guidelines or terms and conditions will have their posting privileges for UpLink removed.

Please be aware that UpLink curators may contact you through the platform in relation to your participation, especially where an issue comes up in relation to these community standards. Any advice they give/request they make should be adhered to, as our curators are employed to enforce these guidelines and create a constructive environment for everyone who contributes to our platform.

We will, when necessary, remove user postings or comments from our articles, and blog posts. 

If a comment/contribution/post to UpLink is perceived as breaching the community guidelines set out above, it will be removed by the curation team.

We will not edit user posts to change the meaning, spelling, or anything else intended by the user. Even if only part of a comment or posting is perceived as breaching the guidelines, the whole post may be removed. Also, when a comment or post is removed for any of the reasons above, it is sometimes necessary to delete subsequent messages which refer to explicitly or quote from the original (removed) comment, in order to preserve some notion of conversational thread.

We reserve the right to remove users who violate these community guidelines or the terms and conditions outlined in the below link.
