Privacy Policy

We collect information in two ways:

• Organisers: When you submit an event, we collect your name, official email address, phone number, and institutional affiliation.
• Attendees/Users: When you create an account to save events or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your name, email address, and areas of academic interest.

When you browse our site, we may collect basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and how you interact with the site (using cookies) to improve your experience.

• Verify the legitimacy of submitted events.
• Display event organiser details to potential attendees (only public-facing professional info).
• Send personalised email alerts about upcoming conferences in your field.
• Improve website functionality and security.
• Prevent fraudulent or predatory event listings.

Public Display: Event details (Title, Venue, Date, Organiser Name) are public. Private contact info for the submitter is not displayed publicly unless specified.

Third Parties: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketers.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety and integrity of our academic community.

We implement industry-standard security measures (SSL encryption) to protect your data. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure. We encourage users to use strong passwords and avoid sharing sensitive login credentials.

Depending on your location, you have the following rights:

• Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Correction: Ask us to update or fix inaccurate information.
• Deletion: Request that we delete your account and personal data (the "Right to be Forgotten").
• Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing or notification emails at any time via the "Unsubscribe" link.

Conference Spectrum uses cookies to remember your preferences (e.g., saved events) and analyse site traffic. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not function properly.

Our platform contains links to external conference websites. Conference Spectrum is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be notified via email or a prominent notice on our homepage.
