Privacy Policy

PNW Whole Blood ("we," "us," or "our") operates the PNW Whole Blood Summit website and event programming. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site or registering for the summit, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to run the summit and communicate with you:

• Registration details: name, email, organization, role/credentials, and any dietary or accessibility needs you choose to share when you RSVP.
• Contact form submissions: name, email, phone (if provided), and the contents of your message.
• Email engagement: open and click events for summit-related emails, used to improve communications.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, and basic request logs used for security, abuse prevention, and rate limiting.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To register you for the summit and send event logistics.
• To respond to questions, support requests, or partnership inquiries.
• To send summit updates, agenda changes, and post-event resources.
• To improve the site, protect against abuse, and meet legal obligations.

3. Legal Basis

We process your information based on your consent (when you submit a form), our legitimate interest in operating the summit, and where required, to comply with applicable law.

4. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us operate the site and event (e.g., hosting, database, email delivery), each bound by contractual confidentiality obligations. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our attendees and the public.

5. Data Retention

Registration and contact records are retained for as long as needed to operate the summit, plus a reasonable period for recordkeeping. You may request deletion at any time (see Section 7).

6. Security

We use industry-standard safeguards including encryption in transit, access controls, and row-level security on our database. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data and notify you of material incidents as required by law.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, and to unsubscribe from non-essential emails. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected].

8. Children

The site and summit are intended for medical professionals and adult stakeholders. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be posted here with a revised "Last updated" date.
