Privacy notice

Last updated 9 November 2026

This notice explains what IGI: Institute of Gaming & Innovation (“IGI”, “we”) collects when you use igihub.pk, why, and what you can ask us to do with it. We keep it short because we collect very little.

What we collect

• When you join the waitlist: your full name, email address, WhatsApp number and the area you’re most interested in, plus the date and time you agreed to be contacted and which version of this notice you saw.
• If you complete your profile (optional): your city, university or institute, degree and year, interests, experience level and how you heard about us.
• How you found us: the campaign code in the link you used (for example ?src=fjwu-workshop or UTM tags), the first page you visited and the website that referred you (the site’s name only, not the full address).
• Security records: a one-way, keyed hash of your IP address (not the address itself) with each form submission, so we can spot abuse. Our server also keeps short technical logs that never contain your email or phone number in full.

Why we use it

Only to tell you about IGI’s program and workshops by email or WhatsApp, to plan cohorts, and to keep the site secure. We rely on your consent, which you give by submitting the form with the consent box ticked. The box starts ticked; untick it and the form won’t be sent. We do not sell your details, and we don’t use them for advertising.

Who else processes it

• Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a real person is using our forms. Cloudflare receives your IP address and browser signals for that check, under its own privacy policy. Turnstile does not set advertising cookies.
• Our hosting and email providers store the website, the database and the emails we send.

Cookies

We set one strictly necessary cookie, and only on pages that contain a form (or when you arrive from a campaign link). It protects the form against misuse and remembers how you found us during that visit. It is deleted when you close your browser. We don’t use advertising or tracking cookies.

How long we keep it

• Waitlist and profile details: up to 24 months after your last activity, then they are deleted automatically.
• Submission records with IP hashes: 90 days.
• Technical logs: 30 days.

Your choices

You can ask to see, correct or delete your details at any time: reply to any email we have sent you. When we delete a record, it is removed completely, and we keep only a note that a deletion happened (no personal details). You can also ask us to stop contacting you.

Security

The site is served only over HTTPS. Access to waitlist data is limited to a small team, protected by strong passwords and two-factor authentication, and every export or deletion is logged.

Changes

If we change this notice, we’ll update the date above. If a change affects how we use details we already hold, we’ll tell you first.
