Privacy Policy

• RSVP Data: Name, email, job title, and company collected via our website RSVP form and stored securely in AWS DynamoDB (US-East-1 region). Data is used for event confirmation emails, attendance planning, and event reminders. Access is limited to the event organizer. Data is not shared with third parties except AWS SES (Amazon Simple Email Service) for email delivery.
• Website Logs: IP address, browser, timestamps — security & basic analytics only.
• Communications: Emails and messages you send us are retained for response and records.

Our website does not use cookies, tracking pixels, or similar technologies for advertising or profiling.

We do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals because we do not use tracking technologies that would be affected by them.

• Event reminders, updates, and follow-ups only (no unrelated marketing).
• Attendance planning and group improvement.
• Responding to inquiries and feedback.
• Site security and basic maintenance.

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We share data only with:

• Trusted service providers (e.g. AWS SES for email delivery, AWS for data storage) under strict confidentiality obligations
• Authorities when required by law or to protect rights/safety
• Successors in a business transfer (with notice where possible)

We may take group photos or short videos at in-person events for our website and social media to promote the meetup. By attending, you consent to this unless you notify us in advance or at the event to exclude you. We will make reasonable efforts to honor requests (e.g., no close-ups). Photos/videos are not sold and are used only for non-commercial group purposes. Attendees are responsible for their own interactions and sharing; we are not liable for what others do with information shared voluntarily at events.

RSVP and contact data are kept 12–24 months after last interaction or group inactivity, then deleted or anonymized. Server logs are retained shorter-term for security purposes.

You may request to access, correct, or delete your data; opt out of future emails (honored promptly); or opt out of any sale/sharing (none occurs). California residents: CCPA/CPRA rights apply; no discrimination for exercising them. Submit requests via email; we respond within 45 days.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our RSVP backend uses AWS Lambda and DynamoDB (US-East-1 region). Email delivery is handled by AWS SES (Amazon Simple Email Service), operated within our existing AWS infrastructure. All confirmation emails include an unsubscribe/cancel mechanism per CAN-SPAM requirements. Any external links follow their own privacy policies. Data is processed in the US.
