The Bay Area ADU Expo (“we,” “our,” or “us”) values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your data when you interact with our website, register for our events, or otherwise engage with us.

By using our website or registering for our events, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

​

Information We Collect

When you register for the Bay Area ADU Expo, sign up for updates, or otherwise interact with our services, we may collect limited personal information that you voluntarily provide. This includes your first name, last name, email address, and city. We do not require additional sensitive personal details unless you voluntarily provide them for specific purposes such as payment processing, customer support, or optional surveys.

In addition, we may automatically collect certain non-personal information such as your browser type, device information, the pages you visit, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used to help us improve the functionality and performance of our website.

​

How We Use Information

The information we collect is used to support event operations and provide you with a positive experience. Specifically, we may use your information to:

• Process event registrations and confirm participation.

• Send event communications, including schedules, updates, reminders, and announcements.

• Provide customer support and respond to inquiries.

• Improve our website, event logistics, and attendee services.

• Conduct research and analytics to better understand our audience.

• Protect the security and integrity of our systems.

Additionally, in connection with the event, we may share your first name, last name, email address, and city with trusted exhibitors, sponsors, and partners for purposes related directly to the Expo, such as follow-up communications, networking, or offers relevant to attendees. This sharing is limited in scope and only applies to information necessary for event-related purposes.

​

Sharing of Information

We will never sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share the limited personal information described above in the following circumstances:

• Exhibitors and Sponsors: We may provide your first name, last name, email address, and city to exhibitors, sponsors, or event partners so they can connect with you about products, services, or opportunities relevant to the Expo.

• Service Providers: We may share information with vendors who assist us in delivering services such as registration, ticketing, or communications. These providers are only authorized to use your information as necessary to perform their contracted services.

• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to valid legal processes.

• Business Transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of assets, attendee information may be included among the transferred assets.

All third parties with whom we share your data are expected to respect your privacy and use your information only in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

​

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Non-personal and aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for analytics and reporting.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
