This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect through our website, https://econclubmiami.org/, how we may use and disclose that information, and the choices available to you.

By using our website or submitting information through it, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with the Economic Club of Miami and our website.

Information You Provide Directly

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Telephone number
  • Company, employer, or organization
  • Professional or business information
  • Membership application information
  • Membership account and profile information
  • Username and other account information
  • Event registration and RSVP information
  • Sponsorship inquiry information
  • Information submitted through contact or inquiry forms
  • Email subscription preferences
  • Communications you send to us
  • Other information you choose to provide

Certain information may be required to process a membership request, administer a membership, register you for an event, respond to an inquiry, or provide another requested service.

2. Membership Accounts and Applications

The Economic Club of Miami offers membership programs and provides certain website content and Club benefits exclusively to members.

When you apply for membership, establish or maintain a membership account, renew a membership, or access member-only areas of the website, we may collect information necessary to administer your membership.

This may include your contact information, membership level, account information, membership status, transaction information, and other information associated with your membership.

We use this information to:

  • Review and process membership requests;
  • Create and maintain membership accounts;
  • Verify membership status;
  • Process membership renewals;
  • Provide access to member-only website content and Club benefits;
  • Communicate important membership information;
  • Administer membership-related events and programs; and
  • Maintain appropriate administrative and financial records.

The website uses membership-management functionality to control access to certain restricted content and member features.

3. Membership Payments

Certain memberships, programs, or other Club activities may require payment.

When you make a payment through the website, payment information may be transmitted directly to a third-party payment processor or payment service provider used to complete the transaction.

The Economic Club of Miami may receive transaction-related information such as your name, billing information, payment status, transaction identifier, amount paid, membership level, and transaction date.

We do not intend to store complete payment-card numbers or card security codes on our website when payments are processed by a third-party payment provider.

Payment transactions may also be subject to the privacy policy and terms of the applicable payment processor.

4. Events and RSVPs

The Economic Club of Miami organizes speaker programs, networking opportunities, educational programs, private gatherings, forums, and other events.

When you register for or RSVP to an event, we may collect information such as your name, email address, telephone number, membership status, attendance response, guest information where applicable, and other information reasonably necessary to administer the event.

We may use event information to:

  • Confirm your registration or RSVP;
  • Verify eligibility for member-only events;
  • Communicate event details, updates, cancellations, or changes;
  • Manage event attendance;
  • Coordinate with event venues or service providers when reasonably necessary;
  • Maintain attendance and event records; and
  • Communicate with you regarding related Club activities.

Some Economic Club of Miami events are available only to members, sponsors, invited guests, or other designated participants. We may therefore use membership or account information to verify eligibility before providing event access or registration information.

5. Member Directory

The Economic Club of Miami may provide a member directory or similar member-only networking feature.

If your information is included in a member directory, certain professional or profile information may be accessible to other authorized members who have access to that directory.

Directory information may include information such as your name, professional affiliation, title, or other profile information that you or the Club have designated for directory use.

Member directory information is intended to facilitate legitimate professional networking and Club-related connections. It should not be used by members for unauthorized mass marketing, data harvesting, or other purposes inconsistent with the purpose of the Club.

If you have questions about information displayed in the member directory or would like to request a correction, please contact us.

6. Email Communications and Mailing List

Visitors may choose to join the Economic Club of Miami email list to receive information about upcoming events, programs, Club news, membership opportunities, and related announcements.

If you subscribe, we may collect your email address and related subscription information.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in an applicable email or by contacting us.

Please note that members may still receive administrative or transactional communications that are necessary to manage their membership, account, payment, event registration, or other relationship with the Club.

7. Sponsorship and Other Inquiries

When you submit a sponsorship request, contact inquiry, or similar form, we may collect information such as your name, email address, telephone number, company or organization, and the contents of your message.

We use this information to evaluate and respond to your inquiry, communicate about sponsorship opportunities, administer a potential or existing relationship, and maintain appropriate business records.

We may disclose information to service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, website administration, membership management, payment processing, email communications, event administration, security, analytics, or other operational services.

We may also disclose limited information to event venues, event partners, sponsors, contractors, or other organizations when reasonably necessary to administer an event or Club program.

We may disclose information when required by applicable law, regulation, subpoena, court order, governmental request, or other valid legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, property, operations, members, visitors, or others.

If the Economic Club of Miami undergoes a reorganization, merger, transfer of assets, or similar organizational transaction, relevant information may be transferred as part of that transaction where permitted by law.

12. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties, including event venues, speakers, sponsors, social media platforms, calendar services, or other organizations.

The Economic Club of Miami does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.

When you leave our website or interact directly with a third-party service, the information you provide may be governed by that third party's privacy policy and terms. We encourage you to review the applicable privacy policies before providing personal information to third-party services.

13. Social Media

The Economic Club of Miami may maintain profiles or pages on third-party social media platforms.

If you interact with the Club through a social media platform, that platform may collect information about your activity according to its own privacy policy. Information that you make publicly available through social media may also be visible to the Economic Club of Miami and other users.

14. Photographs and Event Media

Economic Club of Miami events may be photographed, recorded, or otherwise documented for legitimate Club purposes, including event recaps, communications, archival materials, and promotional activities.

Where appropriate, notices or additional information concerning photography or recording may be provided in connection with a particular event.

Questions or concerns regarding photographs or event media may be directed to the Club using the contact information below.

15. Data Security

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

However, no website, electronic transmission, or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through or stored in connection with the website.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your membership account credentials and should notify us if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

16. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, administer memberships and Club activities, maintain appropriate organizational and financial records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and satisfy applicable legal, accounting, or reporting obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

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

18. Florida Privacy Rights

The Economic Club of Miami is based in Florida and handles personal information in accordance with applicable privacy and data-protection requirements.

Florida law provides certain privacy rights in circumstances where the applicable statutory requirements and thresholds are satisfied. Whether particular rights apply may depend on factors including the nature of the organization, how personal information is processed, and applicable statutory exemptions.

Where an applicable privacy law grants you rights regarding your personal information, the Economic Club of Miami will respond to qualifying requests as required by that law.

To submit a privacy-related request, please contact us using the information below.

19. Children's Privacy

The website and the Economic Club of Miami's membership and professional programs are not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information online from children under 13. If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 in circumstances requiring parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to address the information in accordance with applicable law.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through our website inappropriately, please contact us.

20. Do Not Track and Browser Privacy Signals

Some browsers provide "Do Not Track" or other privacy preference signals. Because there is not a universally applicable standard governing all such signals and website functionality, our website may not respond uniformly to every browser-based signal.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a particular privacy preference mechanism, we will address qualifying signals as required.

21. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, membership services, events, technologies, organizational practices, or applicable legal requirements.
