When you create an AMALFI account, we will collect your identifiers (name, email address, telephone number, address), and employment and professional information (current and former employers, title/role, professional accomplishments). This information will be used to verify you and create your account. Once you are matched with another user, your name and contact information will be shared with the other user. If you attend an event, your name and contact information will be made available to all attendees and other attendees of other events and other users of AMALFI’s services and offerings.

At events for which you have registered, unless specified otherwise in the event details, photos and video recordings may be made (possibly by a photographer commissioned by us), in which you may also be shown. If you are the central subject of a recording or photograph, the photographer will ask you before the recording/taking the photo whether you agree and consent. We use the photos for our public relations and marketing on our various media/digital media outlets.

When you are added to our marketing communications list, if we have not collected it already, we will collect your personal identifiers (name and email address). We use this personal information to send you email alerts and communications.

Please note that we will continue to send you notifications necessary to the Services, or your request services or inquiries. Our communications contain tracking technologies to analyze whether a predefined action took place by a recipient.
