By accessing our websites, submitting an application or registration, completing a payment, requesting information, or otherwise interacting with our business, you acknowledge that you have been provided access to this Privacy Policy.

Submitting information or completing a transaction authorizes us to process the information reasonably necessary to fulfill your request, administer the transaction, and conduct related business operations. Additional consent will be obtained when required by applicable law.

4. CONSENT THROUGH FORMS, REGISTRATION, AND PAYMENTS

When an individual voluntarily submits a form, application, inquiry, registration, or payment to Laray Event Management, we consider that submission authorization to use the information provided for the requested transaction and reasonably related business purposes.

These interactions may include:

  • Responding to the individual's request

  • Processing an application or registration

  • Contacting the individual regarding event participation

  • Delivering transactional or operational communications

  • Maintaining business records

  • Following up on relevant business opportunities

  • Sending marketing communications where permitted by applicable law

By submitting information, individuals acknowledge that Laray Event Management may contact them using the contact information provided for legitimate business purposes.

However, submission of a form or payment does not automatically constitute consent to receive all forms of promotional communications.

Where express consent is required for marketing emails, automated telephone calls, or promotional text messages, we will obtain the appropriate consent separately.

Individuals may withdraw marketing consent or unsubscribe from eligible promotional communications as described in this policy.

5. NO SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Laray Event Management does not sell personal information, including names, telephone numbers, and email addresses, to third parties.

We do not sell vendor databases, attendee contact lists, customer information, or other collected personal information in exchange for monetary compensation.

We may disclose limited personal information to authorized employees, contractors, affiliates, marketing partners, event collaborators, and service providers for legitimate business purposes, as described below.

Such disclosures are intended to support business operations, communications, event administration, and authorized marketing activities rather than the sale of personal information.

Certain advertising or analytics technologies may qualify as a "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising under applicable privacy laws even where no money is exchanged. If we use such technologies, we will provide any required disclosures and privacy choices.

6. INFORMATION SHARING WITH EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AND BUSINESS PARTNERS

Laray Event Management works with employees, representatives, contractors, affiliates, vendors, sponsors, advertising partners, and other business associates.

We may share relevant personal or business contact information with these parties when reasonably necessary to support our business activities.

Authorized recipients may use information for purposes including:

  • Event coordination and administration

  • Vendor communication and management

  • Customer support and follow-up

  • Business partnership communications

  • Marketing and promotional campaigns

  • Advertising and event-related outreach

  • Business development opportunities

  • Delivery of contracted services

Employees, contractors, and service providers who process information on our behalf are expected to use it only for authorized purposes and to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards.

Where permitted by law and subject to any required consent, designated affiliates and marketing partners may also contact individuals regarding relevant business opportunities, upcoming events, services, or promotional offerings.

We may share contact information with independent partners for their own marketing only when the disclosure and intended use are appropriately disclosed and legally permitted, including obtaining any required consent.

We do not authorize recipients to sell personal information obtained from us or use it for unrelated or unauthorized purposes.

7. PAYMENT INFORMATION AND FINANCIAL SECURITY

Laray Event Management does not directly store complete credit card numbers, debit card numbers, card security codes, or full payment card credentials in its own business records or databases.

Payments may be processed through independent third-party payment processors, website platforms, or financial service providers.

These providers may collect, process, transmit, and retain payment information under their own security practices and privacy policies.

Although we do not directly store complete payment card credentials, we may maintain limited transaction-related records, including:

  • Customer or business name

  • Payment amount

  • Transaction date

  • Invoice or order number

  • Payment status

  • Refund or dispute history

  • Transaction confirmation or receipt

  • Limited payment method details provided by the processor

Such records may be maintained for accounting, auditing, fraud prevention, customer service, legal compliance, and other legitimate business purposes.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies and security practices of the payment platforms they use.

8. EMAIL, TELEPHONE, AND TEXT COMMUNICATIONS

Laray Event Management may communicate with individuals through email, telephone, text messaging, direct messaging, and other available communication methods.

Communications may include transactional notices, event information, customer service responses, business opportunities, and marketing messages.

We may use contact information provided through forms, applications, payments, correspondence, or other voluntary interactions to initiate appropriate business communications.

Marketing emails will include an unsubscribe method where required by law.

Promotional text messages or automated marketing calls requiring express consent will be sent only when the appropriate consent has been obtained.

Consent to promotional messages is not a condition of purchasing services or participating in an event unless a particular communication is necessary to deliver the requested service.

Individuals may request to discontinue marketing communications at any time. Requests to stop promotional text messages may also be submitted by replying STOP where supported.

Opting out of marketing does not necessarily prevent us from sending essential transactional, contractual, safety, or administrative communications.

9. MARKETING DATABASES AND CONTACT RECORDS

Laray Event Management may maintain internal contact databases consisting of vendors, prospective vendors, customers, event attendees, businesses, professional contacts, and individuals who have interacted with our organization.

These databases may be used for event planning, customer relationship management, business communications, and legally permitted marketing.

Information may be organized, categorized, updated, or analyzed to improve the relevance of communications and business services.

We do not sell these databases.

Access may be provided to authorized personnel or service providers who assist in managing communications and business operations.

Information may also be shared with designated business partners in accordance with Section 6 of this policy.

10. EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEO, AND PUBLIC PROMOTIONS

Laray Event Management may photograph, film, or document public events for legitimate promotional, operational, archival, and marketing purposes.

Images and recordings may be used on company websites, social media accounts, advertising materials, event recaps, and promotional publications where permitted by law.

We may also publish vendor business names, logos, publicly supplied business information, product photographs, and promotional materials when authorized through vendor applications, agreements, releases, or other applicable permissions.

Any additional permissions required for identifiable individuals, private settings, or particular commercial uses will be obtained as appropriate.

11. COOKIES, ANALYTICS, AND WEBSITE TECHNOLOGIES

Our websites may use cookies, pixels, analytics services, and similar technologies to support website functionality, evaluate traffic, understand visitor interactions, and improve marketing performance.

These technologies may be operated by third-party platforms and service providers.

Users may be able to manage certain cookie preferences through their browsers or website consent tools.

Where applicable law requires consent or an opportunity to opt out of particular tracking activities, we will provide the required choices.

12. DATA RETENTION

Laray Event Management retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

  • The duration of a business relationship

  • Event and registration administration

  • Financial and tax recordkeeping requirements

  • Contractual obligations

  • Legal compliance

  • Dispute resolution and fraud prevention

  • Marketing preferences and opt-out records

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it in accordance with our operational practices and legal obligations.

13. DATA SECURITY

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or destruction.

Access to personal information may be restricted to individuals and service providers with legitimate business responsibilities.

However, no internet transmission, electronic storage system, or security procedure can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
