Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Who We Are

The Global Sports Tech Summit ("GSTS", "we", "us", or "our") operates the website and organizes cross-sport leadership events. This privacy policy explains how we handle personal data when you interact with our website, register for events, or communicate with us.

What Data We Collect

We collect only the information you provide to us directly:

• Contact information -- name, email address, phone number
• Professional details -- organization name, job title, industry sector
• Event registration data -- attendance preferences, dietary requirements, session selections
• Sponsorship inquiries -- company details, sponsorship tier of interest, budget range
• Newsletter subscriptions -- email address
• Correspondence -- any messages you send us through email or contact forms

We do not collect data from third-party sources, social media profiles, or public databases without your knowledge.

How We Use Your Data

Your information is used strictly for the following purposes:

• Event communication -- sending confirmations, logistics, schedule updates, and post-event follow-ups
• Sponsorship coordination -- responding to partnership inquiries, sharing sponsorship materials, and arranging meetings
• Newsletter delivery -- sending our weekly intelligence brief, "The Convergence," if you have opted in
• Service improvement -- understanding attendee needs to improve future events
• Legal compliance -- meeting our legal obligations under applicable law

We Do Not Sell Your Data

Your personal information is never sold, rented, or traded to third parties. Period. We may share limited data with trusted event partners (venues, logistics providers) only when necessary to deliver the event experience, and only under strict contractual protections.

Cookies

Our website uses minimal, essential cookies only. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or third-party analytics that follow you across the web.

• Essential cookies -- required for the website to function (session management, security)
• No marketing cookies -- we do not run retargeting ads or behavioral tracking
• No third-party tracking -- no Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar services that create cross-site profiles

Data Retention

We retain your data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected. Event registration data is kept for up to 24 months after the event. Newsletter subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe. Sponsorship inquiry data is kept for the duration of our business relationship plus 12 months.

Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or any jurisdiction with equivalent data protection laws, you have the following rights:

• Access -- request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Rectification -- ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Erasure -- request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
• Restriction -- ask us to limit how we process your data
• Portability -- receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Objection -- object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Withdraw consent -- revoke previously given consent at any time

We will respond to all valid requests within 30 days.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes encryption of data in transit, secure storage practices, and access controls limiting who within our organization can view your information.

International Transfers

As an organization operating events across multiple countries, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence. When this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

Children's Privacy

Our services are directed at business professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16 years of age. If we learn that we have collected data from a child, we will delete it promptly.
