Privacy policy

At The Curious Exchange, we really value your curiosity… and your privacy. Whether you're attending one of our talks, subscribing to our newsletter or just exploring our content, we want you to feel both inspired and safe. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it and your rights regarding that information.

1. What We Collect

We only collect the personal information you choose to give us — usually just your name and email address when you sign up to hear from us.

We may also gather certain technical information automatically when you browse our site, such as:

  • Your IP address

  • Your device type

  • Your browser type and language

  • Cookies and other tracking data

This helps us understand how our site is used so we can keep improving it for curious minds like yours.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Send you updates, event invitations and inspiring content

  • Manage our subscriber list and communication tools

  • Monitor and improve the performance of our website

  • Stay legally compliant

We will never sell your personal information or use it in ways that feel sneaky or out of line with our values.

3. Filming & Photography at Our Events

We occasionally capture moments from The Curious Exchange through photography, audio and video recordings. These are used thoughtfully — only for promotional content, social media or future podcast episodes that help share the magic of our gatherings with a wider audience.

We aim to spotlight the energy of the experience, not put anyone on the spot.

If you’d prefer not to be filmed or photographed, just let one of our team members know at the event — we’ll absolutely respect your wishes.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Like most websites, we use cookies and similar tools to understand how people interact with our site. This might include services like Google Analytics, which help us see what's working and what needs a tweak. You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.

5. Sharing of Information

We don’t share your personal data with third parties except in these situations:

  • With trusted service providers who help us run our website and email systems

  • If required by law or legal process

  • To protect the rights, safety, or property of TCE, our users or others

Even then, we only share the minimum necessary and only with those who are just as privacy-conscious as we are.

6. Your Rights & Choices

You can:

  • Unsubscribe from our emails anytime (you’ll find a link at the bottom of every message)

  • Request access to the personal data we have about you

  • Ask us to delete your data altogether

Just drop us a line at connect@thecuriousexchange.com and we’ll take care of it.

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data from loss, misuse and unauthorised access. But no system is ever 100% secure, so we encourage you to also be mindful of your own digital safety.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our content is for adults and mature teens. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have, we’ll delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the “last updated” date at the top. We encourage you to check in every now and then.
