This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we use it, when it may be shared, and the choices available to you.

2. Information We Collect

A. Information You Choose to Provide

Depending on how you use the Platform, you may choose to provide:

• Name and email address
• Business or organization name
• Event details, event links, images, descriptions, or other submission content
• Newsletter subscription information
• Messages, questions, sponsorship inquiries, or other information you send us

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through our general forms. We do not intentionally request information such as Social Security numbers, government ID numbers, financial account credentials, health information, biometric identifiers, or precise geolocation data.

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Platform, our website and service providers may automatically collect limited technical and usage information, such as:

• IP address and approximate location derived from IP address
• Browser, device type, and operating system
• Pages viewed, links clicked, referring pages, and interactions with the Platform
• Date, time, and general usage or performance information
• Cookie, pixel, or similar technology identifiers, depending on your consent choices

We use this information to operate the website, understand what is useful, measure performance, protect the Platform, and improve how people discover business opportunities.

3. Cookies, Analytics & Your Choices

We use cookies and similar technologies. Some are necessary for the Platform to function. Others help us understand website use or measure our communications and marketing.

Depending on the tools active on the Platform, these may include:

• Google Analytics — website traffic and usage analytics
• Meta (Facebook) Pixel — audience and marketing performance measurement
• LinkedIn Insight Tag — professional audience and campaign analytics
• Mailchimp or similar email tools — newsletter delivery, subscription management, and engagement measurement
• Hosting, security, form, or website-performance providers needed to operate the Platform

Where our cookie banner is available, you can accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. You can also change your choices later through the cookie settings link on the Platform. Non-essential tracking technologies should not be activated before the consent choice where consent is required.

Your browser or device may also offer privacy controls. Those controls operate independently from our website settings.

4. How We Use Information

We use information for practical purposes connected to the Platform, including to:

• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Platform
• Review, edit, publish, update, or remove submitted events and community information
• Send newsletters and updates you requested or otherwise consented to receive
• Respond to questions, sponsorship inquiries, partnership conversations, and support requests
• Measure website, newsletter, social, and marketing performance
• Understand which events, articles, and resources are most useful to our audience
• Prevent spam, fraud, misuse, or security problems
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

We do not use personal information to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.

5. AI & Automation

We may use AI or automated tools to help with operational tasks such as drafting or organizing content, identifying duplicate or relevant events, improving recommendations, analyzing audience trends, or supporting communications.

We do not intentionally submit sensitive personal information to general-purpose AI tools, and we do not use AI to make legal, financial, employment, credit, housing, insurance, or similarly significant decisions about individuals.

6. When Information Is Shared

We do not sell or rent email lists, and we do not sell personal information for money.

We may disclose limited information to service providers that help us operate the Platform, such as hosting, analytics, email, forms, security, and marketing technology providers. Depending on your cookie choices, analytics and advertising technologies may receive device, cookie, IP, and interaction information. Those providers handle information under their own terms and privacy practices as well as any agreements we have with them.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights or safety, investigate misuse, or complete a business reorganization or transfer.

Event information submitted for publication is intended to become public. Please submit only information you are authorized and comfortable to make publicly available.

7. Newsletter & Marketing Communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter or other marketing communications, we may use your email address and related engagement information to send and improve those communications.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in our marketing emails or by contacting us. We will honor valid opt-out requests and may retain limited suppression information so we do not accidentally add an opted-out address back to a marketing list.

8. Your Privacy Choices & Requests

You may contact us to ask what personal information we maintain about you, request correction or deletion, withdraw a consent you previously gave, or ask a privacy question. We will respond as required by applicable law and may need to verify your request before acting on it.

Because privacy laws differ by location and often apply only when specific legal thresholds are met, certain statutory rights may not apply to every visitor or every request. Even when a particular law does not require it, we will make reasonable efforts to address legitimate privacy requests.

To submit a request, email contact@jaxbusinesscalendar.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Platform is designed for a general business and professional audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. A parent or legal guardian who believes a child has provided personal information may contact us.

10. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, meet legal obligations, or protect the Platform. Retention periods vary by type of information and service.

When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to backup and legal-record requirements.

11. Data Security & Florida Breach Requirements

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information we maintain. No website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

If a security incident involves personal information protected by applicable Florida breach-notification law, we will investigate and provide notices to affected individuals and government authorities when and as required by law.

12. Third-Party Websites

The Platform links to event organizers, ticketing pages, social networks, sponsors, partners, and other third-party websites. Their privacy practices are their own. We encourage you to review the privacy information provided by those third parties before submitting information to them.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Policy as the Platform, our tools, or legal requirements change. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date. If a change materially affects how we handle personal information, we may provide additional notice when appropriate or required.
