Privacy policy

This speaker hub is run by Cat Griffin (Cat Gets Social) to organise speakers for our online summits. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" mean Cat Gets Social. We work from South Korea, and our postal address is in the United Kingdom. We are responsible for your information under South Korea's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). Cat Griffin is our personal information protection officer. If you have any questions about your information, email hello@catgetssocial.com or write to us at 7 Cardigan Street, Queensbury, Bradford, BD13 1AQ, United Kingdom.

We collect and use your information on the bases allowed by South Korea's Personal Information Protection Act: it is needed to perform our agreement with you as a speaker, and for our legitimate interest in running and promoting the summit. Where we need your consent, such as for optional extras or sending your information to a third party, we will ask for it separately and you can withdraw it at any time.

Information you share through the submission forms is intended to be published. Your name, pronouns, business name, presentation title and summary, bio, headshot, links, freebie details, presentation recording, and swag bag / VIP product details (including descriptions, images, links, coupon codes and customer service email) will be shown to the public and summit attendees on the summit website, which is hosted on Zenler. Please only submit information you are happy to be made public.

Your name, presentation title and headshot are also shown to other speakers on the Speaker lineup page, and community posts are visible to all signed-in speakers.

We do not publish your account email, password, contract signature, affiliate link, proof of promo or support messages.

We use trusted services to run the summit. They only process your information to provide their service to us:

• Lovable — builds and hosts this speaker hub. Your account and submissions are stored in Lovable Cloud, which uses secure cloud database, file storage and login services.
• Google Sheets (Google) — we copy submissions into Google Sheets to organise the summit.
• Paperform — some forms and information may be collected and stored through Paperform.
• Zenler — hosts the public summit website where your speaker and product information is published.
• Email providers — used to send account and password reset emails.

Some of these providers store data outside South Korea, including in the United States. Under the Personal Information Protection Act we will tell you what information is transferred, to which country, to which receiver and for how long, and we will get your consent to the transfer where the Act requires it. We also rely on the safeguards those providers put in place, such as standard contractual clauses. We never sell your information.

We keep your information for as long as needed to run and promote the summit, deliver products to attendees, and meet any legal or accounting requirements. Signed agreements are kept for the length of the agreement and a reasonable period afterwards. Information already published on the summit website stays there while the summit and its recordings remain available.

Access to the hub requires an account created by us. Private files such as headshots, product images and screenshots are stored in private storage, and only you and the host can see your submissions (apart from what is listed above as shared or published).

This hub only uses essential browser storage to keep you signed in and the site working. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies on this hub. Zenler, Paperform and Google may use their own cookies on their sites; please check their policies.

Under South Korea's Personal Information Protection Act you have the right to: access your information; ask us to correct or delete it; suspend or object to how we process it; withdraw consent; and receive a copy of the information you gave us in a usable format. You can update your email, password and profile picture on your Account page. For anything else, email hello@catgetssocial.com. We will respond to your request without undue delay.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, you can complain to the Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC), South Korea's data protection authority, at pipc.go.kr. If you are in the United Kingdom, you can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated.
