Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 4/25/2026

LORAN Media Group ("LORAN," "LMG," "we," "our," or "us") owns and operates the LORAN Media Group website and related digital platforms (collectively, the "Site"). LORAN Media Group acts as a data controller with respect to the personal information collected through the Site.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information obtained through our education, meetings, and media platforms, including websites, virtual and in-person events, webinars, newsletters, and sponsored content. By using the Site, registering for our events, or subscribing to our communications, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy.

LORAN Media Group is not a HIPAA covered entity or business associate, and we do not collect or process protected health information (PHI) through the Site or our programs.

This information ("Device Information") is used to support site functionality, analytics, security, and performance improvement.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information for legitimate business and educational purposes, including to:

  • Deliver and manage educational programs, meetings, and media content

  • Register and administer events (virtual and in-person)

  • Communicate with you about programming, updates, and opportunities

  • Provide newsletters and other requested communications

  • Improve platform performance and user experience

  • Maintain security, prevent fraud, and ensure compliance

  • Share information with sponsors as described below

We do not use personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Sponsored Content, Events, and Data Sharing With Sponsors

LORAN Media Group works with sponsors and partners to support educational programming, events, and media initiatives. Sponsor support is essential to our ability to deliver high-quality, professionally relevant content to our audiences. As a result, sponsor data sharing is a core part of how our platform operates, and registration for our sponsored events and content constitutes acknowledgment of the practices described below.

What We Share With Sponsors

We may share the following categories of information with sponsors of specific events, programs, or content:

  • Aggregated, de-identified data such as total attendance numbers, audience composition by professional role or specialty, engagement metrics, and general audience characteristics.

  • Registration and attendance information for sponsored events, webinars, and programs, including but not limited to name, organization, professional role or title, business email address, city/state/country, and session participation.

  • Engagement data related to sponsored content, such as content viewed, downloads, booth visits (at in-person events), and survey or polling responses associated with sponsored sessions.

How Sponsor Sharing Works

  • Notice at the point of collection. When you register for a sponsored event or program, we will identify the sponsor(s) at the point of registration so you understand who will receive your information.

  • Legitimate follow-up only. Sponsors receive registrant information for the purpose of follow-up related to the specific program, event, or content, and for legitimate professional outreach consistent with the educational nature of our programming.

  • Contractual restrictions. Sponsors are required by contract to use shared information in accordance with applicable privacy laws and to honor opt-out requests.

  • No sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information.

  • Your right to opt out. You may opt out of sponsor communications at any time using the unsubscribe link provided in any sponsor communication, by adjusting your preferences at registration where available, or by contacting us directly at the address below.

If you do not wish to have your information shared with sponsors, you may decline to register for sponsored events or programs. Where a sponsored program offers an opt-out at the point of registration, you may use that mechanism to limit sharing.

Other Third Parties and Service Providers

In addition to sponsors, we share personal information with service providers who help us operate the Site and deliver our programs. These categories include:

  • Event registration and management platforms

  • Email marketing and newsletter delivery providers

  • Webinar, virtual event, and video production platforms

  • Customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation tools

  • Website analytics and performance monitoring services

  • Payment processors and billing services

  • Cloud hosting and storage providers

  • Professional advisors (legal, accounting, compliance)

These service providers are authorized to use personal information only as necessary to provide services to LORAN Media Group, and are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.

Events: In-Person and Virtual

Because LORAN Media Group is an events and media company, certain practices apply specifically to our events:

  • Attendee lists. Attendee names and organizations may appear in event materials, mobile event apps, and on-screen during virtual sessions.

  • Recordings. Sessions, panels, and presentations may be recorded (audio, video, and screen capture) and made available on-demand to registered attendees, sponsors, and the broader audience.

  • Photography and video. In-person events may include photography and video for marketing, editorial, and promotional purposes. By attending, you acknowledge that your image may be captured and used in this manner.

  • Badge scanning. At in-person events, scanning your badge at a sponsor booth, session entry, or activation constitutes affirmative sharing of your registration information with that sponsor or session organizer.

  • Chat, Q&A, and polling. Information you submit through chat, Q&A, polling, or live engagement features during virtual or in-person events may be visible to other attendees, speakers, sponsors, and event staff, and may be retained as part of the event record.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Enable core site functionality

  • Understand usage patterns

  • Improve content relevance and performance

  • Support measurement and reporting for our programs and sponsors

You may control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain site features. Where required by law, we will provide a cookie banner or preference center to manage non-essential cookies.

We respect the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where required by applicable law and treat a GPC signal as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

  • Provide ongoing access to events, recordings, and educational content

  • Maintain records of registrations, transactions, and communications

  • Comply with legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations

  • Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements

  • Support legitimate business operations, including audience research and historical reporting

When personal information is no longer needed, we will delete, de-identify, or archive it in accordance with our retention practices and applicable law.

Your Choices

You may choose not to provide personal information; however, doing so may limit your ability to access certain features, including event registration, newsletters, or contact forms. You may also unsubscribe from our marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly.
