These terms apply when you apply for membership of Gotabgaa International Organization Inc. (“Gotabgaa International”, “we”, “us”) through our website. By ticking the consent box on the application form you confirm that you have read and agree to them.

When you apply, we collect what you enter on the form:

• your full name and email address;
• your phone number, if you give one;
• the chapter you choose, or “No Chapter – GI National”;
• your short bio and the name of anyone who referred you;
• the date and time you applied and gave your consent.

Please only share information you are comfortable with chapter and national leaders reading.

• to review your application and decide on your membership;
• to contact you about your application by email or phone;
• if you are approved, to send you an invitation to create your member account and to set up your membership record.

Your application is seen by the leaders of the chapter you chose and by Gotabgaa International’s national administrators. Applications to GI National are reviewed by national administrators on behalf of the board. An application may be passed to a different chapter if that suits you better.

We do not sell your information or share it with advertisers. We use trusted service providers to run the website, our database and member sign-in, and they handle your information only to provide those services to us.

Submitting an application does not by itself make you a member. Membership is by invitation, and each application is reviewed by chapter or national leadership. Members who are not part of any chapter join GI National upon the invitation and approval of the board.

We may approve or decline an application at our discretion. If yours is approved, you will receive an email invitation to create your member account.

You confirm that the information you give is accurate and is your own, and that you are at least 18 years old or applying with a parent or guardian’s permission. Once you are a member, you agree to follow Gotabgaa International’s bylaws and policies and to treat fellow members with respect.

If you become a member, your details become part of your membership record. If your application is declined or withdrawn, we keep it only as long as we need it for our records and then delete it.

You can ask us at any time to correct your details, to withdraw your application, or to delete the information you sent us. Withdrawing your consent ends the review of your application.

We may update these terms from time to time; the date at the top shows when they last changed. For questions or requests about your application or your information, contact your chapter’s leaders or reach us through our Facebook page.
