Privacy Policy
1. What we collect
When you apply for membership, reserve a seat, or subscribe to our list, we collect information you provide directly — name, email, company, role, and any details you share in your application or reservation. Our payment processors (Stripe, PayPal, and Coinbase Commerce) collect payment information directly; we never see or store full card numbers, CVV codes, or bank credentials.
2. How we use it
We use your information to process reservations, review membership applications, communicate with you about events, and — if you've opted in — send updates about upcoming gatherings. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
3. Confidentiality of attendee information
Given the private nature of our events, attendee lists and application details are treated as confidential and are not shared publicly or with other members without consent, beyond what's necessary to facilitate an event (e.g. a name badge or check-in list).
4. Cookies and analytics
Our site may use cookies and analytics tools to understand site traffic and improve the experience. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.
5. Data retention
We retain your information for as long as needed to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.
6. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. Contact us at hello@privateempireevents.com to make a request.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "last updated" date above.
Note to site owner: This is a starting draft, not legal advice. Have a lawyer review this before publishing — particularly around GDPR/CCPA compliance if you have EU or California attendees, and confirm your actual analytics/cookie usage matches what's described here.
