Who we are

Our website address is: https://eventredesign.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

The data collected by our newsletter system will be used for marketing purposes related to Event Redesign’s sponsors and products. The data will not be shared, sold, rented or distributed to any other party for any reason.

COLLECTED INFORMATION – INVOLUNTARY

Event Redesign uses audience targeting technology to reach out to previous visitors, via traditional, non-invasive advertising, as they use other popular websites. This occurs when users load our website, and our targeting technology loads a tracking cookie onto the users browser.

To opt-out and unsubscribe from our re-targeting campaigns, all you have to do is clear any cookies associated with Event Redesign, or our 3rd party advertising services, which may include Adroll, Facebook Ads, Google Ads, and PerfectAudience. For easy instructions on how to remove cookie files, please see this 3rd party website.

The only additional information collected involuntarily from all visitors is basic geographic, referral, on-site navigation patterns and IP information for the purpose of tracking our website traffic statistics.

We use this data in order to improve our website & user experience, as well as measuring the effectiveness of our advertising & marketing efforts.

For users who do not explicitly consent to provide personally identifiable information (by way of agreement before subscribing to the service or a newsletter), this data is anonymized, and is not evaluated on a “user by user” basis, but rather in the aggregate on a mass scale. We look at the overall patterns based on the statistical information collected from thousands of visitors.

For users who do explicitly consent to provide personally identifiable information (by way of agreement before subscribing to the service or a newsletter), this data is used for internal marketing purposes, with the express purpose of improving the effectiveness of our marketing assets on our website, our product experience, and our advertising materials.

The data is collected (and stored) by the Google Analytics service. The data is stored securely and is not publicly available. Only EventRedesign.com (ownership & staff) can access this statistical data, without exception. This data is collected through the use of a simple javascript script on each page of Event Redesign, and does not interfere with or affect the user’s internet browsing program whatsoever.
