Terms & Conditions

At SFO Collaborative, we prioritize the privacy and security of our attendees and users. Our website, located at sfocollaborative.org, collects certain data to ensure the integrity of our exclusive conferences and to facilitate secure transactions. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information.

Who We Are

SFO Collaborative is a company dedicated to hosting highly secure, private conferences. Our website address is sfocollaborative.org.

Data We Collect

Login and Security Data

For security and information protection, we collect data when users log into our site, including timestamps, IP addresses, and browser details. This helps us monitor access and maintain the confidentiality of our conferences.

Payments and Billing

When you register for a conference or make a payment, we collect billing details (e.g., name, address, payment method information) and personal contact details (e.g., email, phone) to process transactions and communicate with you.

Media

If you upload images to our website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract such data from images on the site.

Cookies

• Comments: Opting in to save your name, email, and website in cookies enhances convenience for future comments. These cookies last one year.
• Login: Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to test browser compatibility, discarded on closure. Upon login, we set cookies to save login details (two days) and display preferences (one year). Selecting “Remember Me” extends login cookies to two weeks; logging out removes them.
• Editing: Editing or publishing an article saves a cookie with the post ID (no personal data), expiring in one day.

Embedded Content

Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images) from other sites, which behave as if you visited those sites directly. These third parties may collect data, use cookies, or track interactions, especially if you’re logged into their services. Review their privacy policies for details.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not share your personal data with third parties except:

• For spam detection (e.g., automated services).
• During password resets, where your IP address is included in the reset email.
• With payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) to complete transactions, governed by their privacy policies.

How Long We Retain Your Data

• Comments: Retained indefinitely for moderation and follow-up approval.
• Login/Security Data: Kept for security audits, typically 12 months, unless legally required longer.
• Billing Data: Stored for 7 years to comply with tax and legal obligations.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

We must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes (e.g., billing records, login logs). Contact us at [admin@sfocollaborative.org] to inquire.

Where Your Data Is Sent

• Billing data is sent to secure payment processors.
• All data is stored on servers in United States, protected by industry-standard encryption.

Our Commitment to Security
