Applicability of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to all of PGCC’s programs and includes the casecomp.org,
the Facebook page under the handle @globalcasecomp, the Instagram page under
the handle @globalcasecomp, and all other PGCC websites and social media
platforms (collectively, the “Websites”) and other interactions (e.g., customer service
inquiries, emails, newsletters, etc.) you may have with PGCC. If you do not agree with
the terms, do not access or use the Websites or interact with any other aspect of
PGCC’s programs, including attending our events either in person or online.

Why PGCC Collects Data
You may be asked to provide your personal information anytime you are in contact
with PGCC. You are not required to provide the personal information that we have
requested, but, if you do not provide the information, in most cases we will not be
able to register you for our events or respond to any queries you may have. We use
the information we collect from all our events, websites, and programs for the
following purposes:
1. We use your information to ensure our services are working as intended, such
as troubleshooting issues that you report to us. And we use your information to
make improvements to PGCC’s programs.
2. We use the information we collect in existing programs to help us develop new
ones.
3. We use data for analytics to understand how our services are used. For
example, we analyze data about your visits to our sites to do things like
optimizing our programs.
4. We use the information we collect, like your email address, to interact with you
directly. For example, your email address will be used to tell you when your
registration is successful and release details necessary for your participation in
the competition, such as case briefing materials. You will also be entered on
PGCC mailing lists and will receive our frequent newsletters. We will
occasionally send you information about PGCC events, organizations, and
sponsors. And if you contact PGCC, we’ll keep a record of your email in order to
help solve any issues you might be facing.
5. We use the information to help improve the safety and reliability of our
services. This includes detecting, preventing, and responding to fraud, abuse,
security risks, loss prevention, and technical issues that could harm PGCC, our
users, or the public.
6. We use the information to bill and collect money owed to us for our programs
and events. This includes sending you emails, invoices, receipts, and alerting
you if we need a different credit card number. We use third parties for secure
credit card transaction processing, and those third parties process your orders
and credit card payments.

destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us
determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our emailed
communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text
or graphic links in the email messages. Pixel tags enable us to send email messages
in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened.

We may use your personal information to send important notices, such as
communications about updates for PGCC events you have registered for and
changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. We will do this via the email address
you provide when you register. Because this information is important to your
interaction with PGCC, you may not opt-out of receiving these communications.

announcements, website updates, and special offers from our sponsors and
partners. This type of communication is most often conveyed through our email
