Website Hosting & Analytics
Our website is built and hosted on Wix. Wix automatically collects certain technical data through cookies and similar technologies, including IP address, browser type, device information, and site usage analytics. You can learn more about Wix's own data practices in Wix's Privacy Policy.

Event Registration & Ticketing
Event registration and ticket sales are processed through Wix Events. When you register for an event or purchase a ticket, we collect information such as your name, email address, and payment details necessary to complete your registration. Payment processing is handled securely through Wix's payment system; we do not directly store your full payment card information.

Media
If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the website.

Email Communications
We use Wix's email marketing tools to send event confirmations, updates, and occasional newsletters to members who have opted in. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in those emails.

SMS Notifications (Data & Privacy)
We may send SMS (text) notifications related to your account, events you register for, or other updates, only if you have provided explicit consent through our website forms or your member dashboard.

Types of messages include:

Event confirmations after registration
Event reminders (e.g., 24-hour and 3-hour reminders)
Occasional important updates related to your membership or event attendance

Opt-In/Consent:
You must actively opt-in to receive SMS notifications either at the member account level (via your dashboard preferences) or the event level (during checkout when purchasing tickets). These preferences are stored securely and tied to both your account and event participation.

Opt-Out:
You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by updating your preferences in your member dashboard or by replying STOP to any text message you receive. Once opted out, you will no longer receive SMS messages, but may continue receiving email notifications if enabled.

Data we collect for SMS:

Your phone number and opt-in status
Association of your opt-in with your account and specific event registrations
Message delivery and interaction data (e.g., successful delivery confirmations, unsubscribes)

How your SMS data is used:

Exclusively for providing event-related updates and membership communications
We do not sell or share your phone number with unaffiliated third parties
SMS data may be processed by trusted service providers (e.g., Twilio) solely for the purpose of delivering messages

Frequency of messages: Message frequency varies depending on your level of activity (e.g., number of events registered). Typical use cases are confirmation + reminders.

Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email. For event registration and payment processing, your information is shared with Wix as our website, events, and payments provider. For SMS delivery, your phone number and message data are processed through our third-party SMS provider solely to deliver messages you have opted in to receive.

How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely (if comments are ever enabled). For registered users, personal information in profiles is stored until the account is deleted or updated. Event registration and ticketing data is retained as needed for business, legal, and accounting purposes. SMS opt-in preferences are stored as long as your account is active, or until you withdraw consent. Delivery logs may be retained for a limited period for troubleshooting and compliance.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account, you can request an exported file of personal data we hold about you (including event registration and SMS opt-in records). You may also request deletion of your personal data, except where we are required to retain it for legal, administrative, or security purposes. You may revoke SMS consent at any time by updating your account preferences or replying STOP to any text message.

Where Your Data Is Sent
Event and payment data is processed through Wix. SMS messages are routed through our SMS provider for delivery and may pass through carrier networks outside our direct control.
