Privacy Policy

Who we are

Emerge Event Collective runs a membership community for event and wedding professionals, along with the events, website and Emerge app that go with it. This policy covers the website at emergeeventcollective.com and the Emerge mobile app.

What we collect

Account and profile details: your name, email address, phone number, business name and category, bio, photo, website and social handles, and the collective you belong to.

Membership and payments: your plan, renewal dates and payment history. Card and bank details are handled by our payment providers; we do not store full card or bank numbers on our own servers.

Events: your registrations, check-ins, meal and lodging choices, and answers you give to event questions.

Messages: direct messages and forum posts you send to other members and to Emerge.

From the app, only if you allow it: your location (to show events near you), your camera (to scan an event check-in code), your photo library (to choose a profile photo), and a notification token so the app can send you notifications.

Basic technical information, such as your device type and the pages you open, so we can keep the site and app working.

How we use it

To run your membership, process payments, register you for events and check you in.

To show your member profile in the member directory. You choose which details you share there, and members who ask us to hide a detail will not see it listed.

To send you email and in-app messages about your membership, events and community news. You can unsubscribe from newsletters at any time.

To keep the community safe, fix problems and improve the website and app.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information.

We share it only with the service providers that help us run Emerge, such as our cloud hosting and sign-in provider, our email delivery provider, our payment and membership billing providers, and the tools we use for events and video. They may use your information only to provide their service to us.

Other members and the public see only what you choose to show on your profile. We may also share information when the law requires it.

Your choices

You can view and edit your profile, change who can see your details, and turn off optional notifications from your account.

In the app, you can turn off location, camera, photo and notification access at any time in your phone's settings.

You can ask us to correct your information, to cancel your membership, or to delete your account and personal information. We will do so unless we must keep certain records, such as payment and tax records, for legal reasons.

How long we keep it

We keep your information while your membership is active and for a reasonable time afterward, so you can rejoin and so we can meet our accounting and legal duties. Then we delete it or remove what identifies you.

Security

Your information is stored with a reputable cloud provider, sent over encrypted connections, and available only to the people at Emerge who need it. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and fix problems quickly.

Children

Emerge is for adults and business owners. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If we make a meaningful change, we will update the date below and tell members by email or in the app.
