Privacy Policy

Event Networking (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Event Networking platform and Event Networking Card services (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use our website and applications.

1. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly and information generated through use of the Service.

• Account information: name, email address, password (hashed), professional title, location, and profile content you choose to add.
• Card and event content: photos, networking intents, bios, contact points, event details, and messages you submit on exchange forms.
• Connection data: details visitors share with you through your public card (name, email, phone, photo, notes, consent choices).
• Usage data: card views, engagement events (such as link clicks, QR scans, or NFC taps), device/browser type, and approximate timestamps.
• Technical data: IP address, cookies, session identifiers, and push notification subscription endpoints if you enable notifications.

2. How we use information

We use information to:

• Provide, operate, and improve the Service;
• Display your Event Networking Card and event directories;
• Facilitate contact exchanges and optional follow-up emails you configure;
• Send service-related messages (verification, security, support);
• Analyze product usage and prevent abuse or fraud;
• Comply with legal obligations.

3. Legal bases (where applicable)

Where required by law (for example, in the EEA or UK), we process personal data based on contract performance, legitimate interests (such as security and product improvement), consent (where you opt in to marketing or certain cookies), and legal obligations.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

• With other users: information you place on your public card or event directory is visible according to your settings.
• With service providers: hosting, email delivery, analytics, and infrastructure vendors that help us run the Service under contractual safeguards.
• For legal reasons: when required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to notice where required.

5. Third-party sign-in

If you sign in with Google or Facebook, we receive profile information those providers share with us (such as name, email, and profile photo) according to their policies and your account settings.

6. Data retention

We retain account and card data while your account is active. You may request deletion of your account; we will delete or anonymize personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required for legal, security, or backup purposes.

7. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you;
• Object to or restrict certain processing;
• Withdraw consent where processing is consent-based;
• Port data you provided to us;
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

9. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and local storage for authentication, preferences (such as theme), and security. You can control cookies through your browser settings; some features may not work without essential cookies.

10. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Contact us if you believe we have collected such information.

11. International transfers

We may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Material changes may be communicated through the Service or by email.
