Privacy Policy

This privacy policy applies to current and previous readers, authors, reviewers, editors, speakers, delegates, and other customers who visit our website and use our products and services. It also extends to project partners or associated corporations.

Our Commitment to Data Protection

As a company responsible for handling data, protecting it is very important to us. We act as guardians of the personal information we process, ensuring compliance with data protection legislation. We provide information to the individuals ("the registered") whose data we process about our data practices and their rights. This privacy policy specifically addresses our processing of information about authors.

Information We Process

The information we process about you may include:

• Details about speakers and committee members who register for conferences.
• Authors, reviewers, and editors who subscribe to our publishing services.
• General personal information, such as name, address, email, correspondence with you, portrait photos, and CV/bio (if you are a speaker or presenter at an event).
• Information about individuals involved with project partners.

Data You Provide to Us

You are not obligated to provide personal data beyond what is necessary to register your account or make payments if you purchase services from us. We do not require you to provide "sensitive personal data" to use our services. If you choose to include such data on your profile, it will be visible to others.

How We Use Your Data

We may contact you through mobile numbers and not just email. Our communication preference settings allow members to choose their preferences for COIN LLC communications. Communications will be related to research findings, topics of interest, and periodic emails regarding publications and other related events.

How We Share Information

We treat users' information as private and confidential and do not sell, trade, or rent it to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information with our partners, affiliates, and advertisers for legitimate business analysis. We provide clarity about profile visibility settings, allowing you to control your profile visibility. Sponsors/Exhibitors will receive an e-copy of the attendee list (name, email, company/university) post-conference.

Your Choices & Obligations

Data we retain may have been provided directly by you or inferred from your use of the services. Regardless of whether you are a member or a visitor, you may exercise the following data protection rights: deletion, amendment, rectification, objection, restriction of processing, access, and portability.

Lawful Bases for Processing

We will only collect and process your personal data when we have lawful bases for doing so, including your consent, contractual obligations, and legitimate interests.

Web Browser Cookies

Our site may use "cookies" to enhance user experience. Users can set their web browsers to accept or refuse cookies. By not accepting cookies, some parts of the site may not function properly.

Security of User Information

We adopt appropriate data storage and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of users' personal information, usernames, passwords, transaction information, and data stored on our site. Undisclosed/anonymous comments and discussions are discouraged and will be addressed accordingly, potentially involving outside counsel if necessary. COIN LLC reserves all legal and equitable rights and remedies.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time, so please check our website periodically. We will post a notification on the main page of our site. If you have any concerns about how your information is being used or questions about our privacy policy, please contact us at contact@drugrnd.com.
