Privacy Policy: Brand Safety Summit Series / 614 Group Events

1. Introduction

Last Updated: October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The 614 Group Events LLC d/b/a the Brand Safety Summit Series ("614 Group Events," "614E," "we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data. We are a Delaware limited liability company located at 160 Eagle Rock Avenue, Unit 171, Roseland, NJ 07068.

This Policy covers our websites (www.brandsafetysummit.com and www.614group.com), our events (including the Brand Safety Summit and Brand and AI Safety Summit series, Partner Days, dinners, and activations at third-party events), our newsletters and publishing platforms, our 614 Connect demonstration rooms, and our other services (together, the "Services").

We wrote this Policy to meet the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA"), and the comprehensive privacy laws of other U.S. states. Where a section applies only to one place, we say so.

2. Who Is the Data Controller

The 614 Group Events LLC is the data controller for personal data collected through the Services. That means we decide why and how your data is processed.

For data protection questions, contact A. Brush at gdpr@614group.com. Full contact details are in Section 18.

3. What Personal Data We Collect

We collect only what we need to run the Services. The table below shows what we collect and where it comes from.

We do not ask for sensitive data such as health, biometric, or precise location data. The one exception is dietary or accessibility needs you choose to share so we can accommodate you at an event. We use that only for that purpose.

4. How and Why We Use Your Data

Each use of your data has a lawful basis under the GDPR. The table pairs what we do with why we are allowed to do it.

Where we rely on legitimate interest, we have checked that our interest does not override your rights. You can object at any time (Section 9).

We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects (Section 14).

5. Service Providers We Use

We use outside vendors to run the Services. They may use your data only to provide services to us, under written contracts that require them to protect it.

We may also share data with our affiliated companies, with a buyer if we sell or merge all or part of the business, and with authorities when the law requires it or to protect our legal rights.

6. Sharing With Event Sponsors and Partners

We share your details with sponsors and partners only when you choose to. Our events are funded by sponsors who want to meet attendees, so we want to be plain about how this works.

You choose to share in these ways:

• At registration, by checking an unchecked box that lets us share your name, title, employer, and business email with that event's sponsors.
• At the event, by letting a sponsor scan your badge or by booking a meeting through 614 Connect. That sends your details to that sponsor only.
• For a specific program, such as a Partner Day or dinner, where the invitation says which partner will receive your details.

Once a sponsor receives your details, it uses them under its own privacy policy. You can withdraw consent for future sharing at any time by emailing optout@614group.com. That stops future sharing but cannot undo sharing that already happened; we will pass your request on to sponsors who received your data.

A note for U.S. state residents: we do not sell personal data for money. Because sponsors pay to take part in our events, some state laws may treat sponsor sharing as a "sale" or "sharing." We treat it that way, and you can opt out at any time (Section 9).

7. Newsletters and Publishing

Our newsletters and our Albert.ai publishing platform include sponsored content (advertorials), which we label as sponsored. Advertisers in our newsletters do not receive your subscriber details.

We track newsletter opens and clicks to understand which content is useful. You can unsubscribe from any newsletter using the link in every email.

[If Albert.ai uses its own cookies, logins, or ad tools when it launches, list them here and in Section 8.]

8. Cookies, Tracking, and Opt-Out Signals

We use cookies, pixels, and similar tools to run our websites, measure traffic, and understand which content works. Visitors in the EU, UK, and Switzerland see a cookie banner, and we set non-essential cookies only after you agree.

Google Analytics. We use it for measurement only. We have turned off Google's data sharing, remarketing, and demographics features, shortened IP addresses, and set data retention to 14 months. You can opt out at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9940393.

Global Privacy Control. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) and other legally recognized opt-out signals. If your browser sends one, we treat it as a request to opt out of sale, sharing, and targeted advertising for that browser. If we know who you are, we apply it to your account too.

Browser controls. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some site features may not work without them.

9. Your Rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to access, correct, or delete your personal data, or to stop marketing to you. Email optout@614group.com or write to us at the address in Section 18.

EU, UK, and Swiss residents

Under the GDPR and similar laws, you have the right to:

• Access your data and get a copy, including information about international transfers
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Delete your data where we no longer need it or you withdraw consent
• Receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format
• Restrict how we process your data in certain cases
• Object to processing based on legitimate interest, including direct marketing
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing
• Not be subject to decisions made solely by automated means that significantly affect you

We respond within one month, which the law lets us extend by two more months for complex requests. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

U.S. state residents

Many U.S. states now have comprehensive privacy laws, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Know what personal data we collect, where it comes from, why we use it, and who we share it with
• Get a copy of your data
• Correct inaccurate data
• Delete your data, subject to legal exceptions
• Opt out of sale, sharing, and targeted advertising, including through GPC (Section 8)
• Get a list of the specific third parties we have shared your data with, where your state law provides this right
• Appeal if we deny your request
• Not be treated differently for using these rights

To opt out of sale or sharing, use the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link at the bottom of our websites or email optout@614group.com. For other requests, email optout@614group.com. We may need to verify your identity first, and you may use an authorized agent.

We respond within the time your state law requires, usually 45 days, with an extension where the law allows. If we deny your request, we will explain how to appeal. If the appeal is denied, you may contact your state Attorney General.

10. Opting Out of Communications

You can stop marketing emails at any time by clicking "unsubscribe" in any email or emailing optout@614group.com. We process requests promptly, but it can take a few days to take full effect.

If you are registered for an event, we will still send you essential event messages, such as confirmations and changes to the date, time, or venue, even after you unsubscribe from marketing. These are part of the service you signed up for.

We keep a minimal record of your opt-out (such as your email address) so we can honor it going forward.

11. How We Protect Your Data

We use reasonable security measures, including encryption in transit (TLS), access controls limiting who on our team can see personal data, and vendors that meet recognized security standards. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee that data will never be accessed without permission.

If a breach puts your data at risk, we will notify regulators and affected people as the law requires. Under the GDPR, that currently means notifying the relevant authority within 72 hours of learning of a reportable breach.

12. International Transfers

We are based in the United States and run events in several countries, so your data may be processed outside the country where you live.

When we transfer data from the EU, UK, or Switzerland, we use a legally approved safeguard. This may be the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (with the UK Addendum for UK data), an adequacy decision, or a vendor's certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. You can ask us for details of the safeguard that applies to your data.

13. How Long We Keep Data

We keep personal data only as long as we need it for the purposes in this Policy, or as long as the law requires.

When the period ends, we delete the data or make it anonymous.

14. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Processing

We use AI tools to help with work such as drafting content, summarizing research, and suggesting event or content recommendations. A person reviews any outcome that affects an individual. We do not use AI or other automated systems to make decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects.

We do not use your personal data to train third-party AI models, and we choose vendors whose terms do not allow it. [Confirm with your AI vendors.]

We follow developments in AI rules, including the EU AI Act (as amended in 2026) and state laws such as the Texas Responsible AI Governance Act, and will update our practices as they apply to us.

15. Children's Privacy

Our Services are for business professionals and are not directed at anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a minor has given us data, contact optout@614group.com.

16. Upcoming EU Changes

In November 2025, the European Commission proposed the Digital Omnibus, a package of changes to EU digital laws. It was split into two parts. The AI part, which amends the EU AI Act, was adopted in July 2026. The data part, which would amend the GDPR and cookie rules, is still being negotiated as of October 2026.

Proposed GDPR changes include a clearer definition of personal data, updated cookie consent rules, and a longer breach notification window. None of these apply yet. We will update this Policy if and when they are adopted and take effect.

17. Changes to This Policy

We will update this Policy when our practices or the law change. The date at the top shows the latest version. If we make a material change, such as using your data in a new way, we will tell you by email or with a notice on our websites before it takes effect.

Our websites also link to third-party sites. This Policy does not cover them, so please read their privacy policies.

If you are in the EU, UK, or Switzerland, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority. We would appreciate the chance to fix the problem first.
