Privacy Policy — The Outbound Summit

In plain English.

This policy covers what data we collect when you register for The Outbound Summit, watch a session, buy an All-Access Pass, or apply to speak — and the rights you have over it.

§ 01

What we collect

We collect only what's needed to run the event:

Registration

Name, email, company, role. Required to send you the live link and event reminders.

Pass purchase

Billing email, country, and payment method last-4 (handled by Stripe — we never see card numbers).

Speaker apps

The fields you fill in on the application form, plus any links you share.

Usage data

Pages visited, sessions watched, basic device info, IP. Used to understand what's working.

Live attendance

Your name & questions appear in chat to other attendees. Don't share things you wouldn't want public.

§ 02

How we use it

Send you the live link, schedule, and post-event recap.
Deliver All-Access Pass benefits (recordings, playbooks, community).
Read & reply to speaker applications.
Improve the event & site based on what people actually use.
Send (occasional) emails about future Summit volumes — opt-out at any time.

§ 03

Storage & security

Data is stored on AWS (US-West) and processed by trusted vendors (Stripe for payments, Postmark/Resend for email, Mux/Vimeo for video). We use industry-standard measures but no system is 100% secure.

§ 04

Sharing & disclosure

We don't sell your data. We don't share attendee lists with sponsors. We don't hand your email to speakers. The only exceptions: legal compliance, fraud prevention, or processors who help us run the event.

§ 05

Marketing & ads

We may run paid ads on Meta (Facebook, Instagram), Google, LinkedIn, X, and YouTube to promote upcoming Summit volumes. To measure those ads, we use:

Meta Pixel

Tracks whether someone who clicked a Meta ad ended up registering.

Google Tag

Same idea, for Google Ads.

LinkedIn Insight

Same idea, for LinkedIn Ads.

You can opt out via your ad preferences with each platform, or block third-party cookies in your browser. EU/UK users see a consent banner first.
