We collect only what we need.

What we collect

When you apply, we collect your name, email, professional profile link, current role and organization, location, and the achievements, links and references you choose to share. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your card details.

While you fill in the application, a draft of your answers is saved only in your own browser so you don't lose work. It isn't sent to us until you submit, and it's cleared once your application is received or when you choose “Clear draft”.

How we use it

Your application is used only to assess your admission and to contact you about it. It is seen by the Admissions Committee members reviewing it and by staff who administer the process. We don't sell or share applicant or member contact details with sponsors or vendors.

How long we keep it

Application files, assessments and votes are kept for at least seven years, as our bylaws require, so decisions can be audited and appealed.
