Welcome

The Chalo Catu movement is founded on a simple, but powerful principle: we can do more together than any of us can do alone. We cannot work collectively without gathering, sharing, and analyzing information about our users as we seek new ways to make the Chalo Catu Sites more useable, safer, and more beneficial.

We believe that information-gathering and use should go hand-in-hand with transparency. This Privacy Policy explains how the Chalo Catu Foundation, the non-profit organization that hosts the ChaloCatu.org Site, collects, uses, and shares information we receive from you through your use of the Chalo Catu Site. It is essential to understand that, by using any of the Chalo Catu Site, you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure, and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. That means that reading this Policy carefully is important.

We believe that you should provide personal information to participate in the free knowledge movement. You have to provide things like your real name, or date of birth to sign up for a standard account or contribute content to the Chalo Catu Site as we try fight and avoid vandalism.

We do not sell or rent your nonpublic information, nor do we give it to others to sell you anything. We use it to figure out how to make the Chalo Catu Site more engaging and accessible, to see which ideas work, and to make learning and contributing more fun. Put simply: we use this information to make the Chalo Catu Sites better for you and the readers outh thier.

After all, it's people like you, the champions of free knowledge, who make it possible for the Chalo Catu Site to not only exist, but also grow and thrive.
