- Automatically collected information: basic technical data such as browser type, device type, pages visited, and general location, collected through cookies and similar tools.

How We Use Your Information

Email Communications
When you join our email list, we use your email address and first name to send you news, offers, and updates about the World Natural Hair Show. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. You can opt out at any time and we will stop sending marketing emails to that address. We may still send transactional emails related to a registration or purchase.
SMS / Text Messaging
If you opt in to receive text messages from the World Natural Hair Show, you agree to receive recurring automated marketing and informational text messages (such as show announcements, offers, and event reminders) at the mobile number you provided. Consent is not a condition of any purchase.
- Message frequency varies.
- Message and data rates may apply.
- Reply STOP to any message to unsubscribe. You will receive one final message confirming you have been unsubscribed.
- Reply HELP for help.
- Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
See our Mobile Terms of Service for full SMS program terms.
We will not share your mobile information or opt-in consent with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
All other categories, such as text messaging originator opt-in data and consent, will not be shared with third parties.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in these limited cases:
- Service providers: companies that help us run our business, such as our email and SMS platform (Klaviyo), website hosting, and event registration tools. They may use your information only to provide services to us. This does not include sharing mobile information or SMS opt-in data for their own marketing purposes, as described above.
- Legal reasons: when required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our attendees, exhibitors, or the public.
- Business transfers: if our organization is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Privacy Policy.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to understand site traffic and improve your experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.
Data Security and Retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
