The information we collect:
Business Card Information
In order to make it easier for people to network and to facilitate meetings, EventMingle collects information typically found on a persons business card. By default, business card details are hidden until the person grants someone access to their information using the "Show my business card" link or via the "Show everyone my business card" option on the "Edit Profile" page. However, just like at a trade show, anyone can view your badge info, which includes:
>> Full Name, Title, Company Name, City, State & Country
If you grant someone rights to view your business card information or if you grant everyone to view your business card, then it's like giving every single participant at this event, your business card. This information includes, but is not limited to:
>> Full Name, Title, Company Name, Complete Address, Email Address, Phone, Fax, and all other information included in the Business Card Information section on the "Edit Profile" page.
Other information we collect
In order to assist EventMingle participants in planning, participants can click on links throughout the site to indicate which sessions they plan to attend, people they would like to meet, exhibitors they plan to visit, products and giveaway (treasures) they're interested in, in addition to other trackable links we may have added in order to help you build your Daily Planner.
How We Use Information:
EventMingle.com is an event specific social networking application designed to provide an easy way to meet other people, attending the same event, on the internet. Members create a profile and are then paired with a number of other members based on their pre-selected profile criteria. Attendees and Exhibitors can see the full name, title, company, city, state and country of each participant on EventMingle. However, the balance of the contact information is hidden. EventMingle participants can grant one or all members on EventMingle access to their business card detail if they desire. This is often done in order to improve business networking opportunities.
When participants indicate they "Plan to visit" a specific exhibitor, the exhibitor is also given access to this information so they can follow-up and schdule a meeting. Exhibitors are not given the attendee's business card information unless then attendee has given them rights to view this information.
When participants indicate they plan to attend a specific session, others can also view the list of people attending a specific session.
When you view exhibitor details, press releases, products and treasures we note this information and give exhibitors access to who is viewing their information. Exhibitors have the ability to contact attendees who have shown interest in their products.
If you use the "Show everyone my business card" feature on the "Edit Profile" page, understand that others can print, download or capture this information and use it beyond our control, just as if you set a stack of business cards on an open table at the event.
EventMingle.com is a closed service. Every effort is made to restrict access to those attending the specific event. However, since the Event Producer provides us participant access information we can not guarantee someone not attending the event may gain access. Also, Exhibitors attending the event may grant other members of their organization access to their account in order to update their Exhibitor information.
Our Commitment to Data Security:
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Expectation of privacy in email.
Members should have an expectation of privacy when using EventMingle.com's built-in email engine.

Our management reserves the right to review private email if, in our sole opinion, any member of EventMingle.com is being stalked, harassed or spammed by our membership. We also reserve the right to audit email or provide law enforcement authorities access to email logs if, in our sole opinion, EventMingle.com was used to defraud or cause harm to another. Finally, we will always work fully with law enforcement agencies by providing any and all information provided, including IP address logs to EventMingle.com in the event a member uses a stolen credit card to purchase premium services on EventMingle.com.
