Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise The Entrepreneurs Academy pages, or register with The Entrepreneurs Academy site or services, a cookie helps The Entrepreneurs Academy to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same The Entrepreneurs Academy Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Entrepreneurs Academy features that you customised.

If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of The Entrepreneurs Academy services or Web sites you visit.

Zoom Online Meetings & Training sessions

Using Zoom Securely

In Zoom, there are many controls which hosts of meetings can use to maximise the privacy and security of their meetings. At The Entrepreneurs Academy, we have configured Zoom, by default, to ensure meetings are as secure and private as possible. These default settings are:

MEETING ACCESS

Participants are not allowed to join before the meeting host unless previously registered via email or a booking system.
All participants are placed in a “Waiting Room” and the Host individually admits them to meetings.
Unique meeting IDs are required for each scheduled or instant meeting (rather than using your Personal Meeting ID (PMID).
Passwords are required for schedule and instance meetings.
Participants cannot re-join if the host has removed them.
Guests will be asked to sign-in and agree to GDPR terms and conditions and the general use of Zoom as an online training system.

RECORDINGS & TRANSCRIPTS

Messages sent via chat are not saved.
Participants cannot save a transcript of the call.
Recording to local files is not allowed (cloud only).
Meetings are not recorded automatically – only the Host is allowed to do this and to access these recordings. Before the meeting commences, Hosts are prompted to inform participants about the recording of meetings.

Additional security

Files cannot be transferred via chat
Only the Host can share their screen

All the above features are enabled automatically within The Entrepreneurs Academy Zoom training rooms – you do not need to do anything.

Zoom Virtual meetings – Privacy & Anonymity

Compared to a physical meeting it is not possible to achieve the same level of confidentiality and anonymity in an online setting. Even after the host has turned off all recording on the Zoom platform, there is nothing to stop a participant using other software to record sound or images. It is very important that attendees at online meetings are aware of this and that they adjust their sharing
