e4 Events ("e4 Events," "we," "us," or "our") designs and facilitates corporate chess experiences. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through www.e4events.co, how we use it, and the services that help us operate the website. It covers visitors, event inquiries, and messages sent through our “Know Jaron? Say hi!” form.
1. Information we collect
Information you submit: Our event inquiry form collects your name, work email, company name, event type, and any event details you choose to provide. Our “Say hi to Jaron” form collects your name, optional email address, your selected connection to Jaron, and any message you submit.
Technical information: When you visit the site, hosting and content-delivery services may process technical information such as your IP address, browser and device details, pages requested, and request timestamps to deliver, secure, and operate the website. If Netlify Web Analytics is enabled, it uses server-side website request data to generate aggregate traffic reports.
Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information, payment card details, or confidential employee information through either form.
2. How we use information
- Respond to messages, referrals, and corporate event inquiries.
- Discuss, quote, plan, and coordinate requested chess events and related services.
- Maintain necessary business correspondence and records.
- Protect our website against spam, abuse, and security incidents.
- Understand general website activity and improve our services.
Sending us a form does not automatically subscribe you to a newsletter or promotional mailing list. We may follow up about the specific inquiry or message you sent.
3. Service providers and data sharing
We use the following services for our present website setup:
- Netlify: Hosts and delivers the website, receives and stores information submitted through Netlify Forms, and sends form-submission notifications. Netlify also uses spam filtering, including Akismet, to evaluate submissions. Netlify’s dashboard may categorize a submission as verified or spam.
- Google Workspace (Gmail): Receives our form notification emails and supports our business communications and responses. Form contents may appear in notification emails and correspondence stored in our Google Workspace account.
- Google Fonts: Our site requests font files from Google. Your browser contacts Google’s font servers, which may receive technical request information, including an IP address needed to deliver fonts.
- GitHub: Stores the website source code and supports deployment to Netlify; it is not used as a database for website form submissions.
- Namecheap: Provides our domain registration and DNS management; it is not used to collect visitor form submissions.
We may disclose information when required by law, to protect our rights or users, or to service providers that help operate our business. We do not sell the contact information submitted through our forms or share it for third-party targeted advertising.
Those third-party services operate under their own terms, privacy notices, and security practices. This policy describes how e4 Events uses those services in connection with our website; it does not replace or override the separate policies maintained by Netlify, Google, GitHub, or Namecheap.
4. Analytics, cookies, and tracking
In the current version of the e4 Events website, we have not added Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, advertising tracking tags, or a newsletter tracking tool. The website uses Netlify hosting infrastructure; Netlify’s server-side analytics may be used to see aggregate website activity if enabled in our Netlify account. We also load Google Fonts, as described above.
We do not currently use a separate website mechanism to respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals. If we add advertising cookies, new analytics tools, or other tracking technologies, we will reassess disclosures and any consent or preference controls required by applicable law.
5. How long we keep information
We retain messages, inquiries, related emails, and relevant business records for as long as reasonably needed to respond, consider opportunities, plan services, maintain records, or satisfy legal obligations. There is no fixed retention period stated for all inquiries at this time. We may delete information when it is no longer needed. Netlify stores form submissions in its dashboard, and notification copies may remain in Google Workspace until deleted.
6. Security
Our public website uses HTTPS, and we use hosted services with security controls to handle website submissions and email. We take reasonable steps to limit unauthorized access to submitted information in the accounts and services we manage. No method of online storage or transmission is completely secure, and third-party providers maintain their own security measures and responsibilities.
7. Your choices and privacy requests
You can contact us to ask what information you have submitted or request that we correct or delete it, subject to reasonable verification and any applicable retention, technical, contractual, or legal requirements. Depending on your location, additional privacy rights may apply. You may also simply choose not to submit either website form.
For privacy requests, email jaron@e4events.co. When feasible and appropriate, we will review the request and update or delete information under our control. In some cases, copies may remain in records we are required or reasonably permitted to keep.
8. Children
Our website and corporate event services are intended for business contacts and general audiences, not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children under 13 through our website forms.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our services, website tools, or privacy practices change. The effective date at the top will reflect the latest version.
