Protecting Your Personal Information: Your Rights, Our Responsibilities

Proof of Talk is all about making things easier and engaging for users. Privacy policies are hard to make fun but we've done our best at simplification. Like all companies, we process customer information. Proof of Talk collects, uses and stores information about users of our websites and attendees at our conferences. This means that we process your personal data or information and it is your right to know how we use this information.

What Information We Collect About You

When you engage with the Proof of Talk website or register for an Event, we may collect the following information:

1. Personal Information: Name, email address, phone number, job title, company name, and any other information you provide during registration or inquiry.

2. Payment Information: When purchasing tickets, we collect billing information such as payment details and transaction history.

3. Technical Information: IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, and usage data collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

4. Event Participation Information: Information related to your participation in our Events, such as session attendance, feedback, and preferences.

This information is collected through online forms, cookies, direct communications with us, and other engagements with the Proof of Talk platform.

How We Use the Information We Collect

The information we collect is used for the following purposes:

1. Event Management: To manage Event registration, ticketing, entry verification, and participant communications.

2. Service Improvement: To improve user experience, website functionality, and the quality of our services.

3. Marketing & Communication: To send promotional materials, Event updates, newsletters, and invitations to other relevant Events or activities. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.

5. Security & Fraud Prevention: To protect against unauthorized access, fraud, and security breaches.

We aim to ensure that data usage is transparent, fair, and lawful. Personal data will not be used for purposes beyond those described above without your consent.

How We Share the Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. However, we may share information with trusted third parties as follows:

1. Service Providers: We may engage third-party vendors to provide services such as payment processing, email communication, analytics, and technical support.

2. Event Partners & Sponsors: With your consent, we may share limited attendee information (e.g., name and company) with Event sponsors and partners.

4. Business Transfers: If Proof of Talk undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the new owner as part of the transaction.

All third parties we engage are contractually obligated to safeguard your information in compliance with GDPR and other applicable privacy laws.

What is Non-Accessible Information?

Non-accessible information refers to data that is encrypted, anonymized, or aggregated, rendering it non-identifiable. This type of information includes:

1. Aggregated Data: Data that is combined with other data to produce insights or reports without revealing individual identities (e.g., total number of attendees, usage trends, etc.).

2. Anonymized Data: Personal data that has been stripped of identifiable elements, ensuring it cannot be linked back to you.

3. Encrypted Data: Data that is securely encrypted and cannot be accessed or read without decryption keys.

This information may be used for internal analysis, reporting, and improving our services while ensuring that your privacy is fully maintained.
