Introduction

Welcome to Positive d.o.o. (“Positive,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal data when you visit our website (positive.rs) or participate in events we organize (the “Services”). By using our website or Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Personal Data You Provide Directly

• Registration Information. When you register for one of our networking events (hosted at positive.rs), you may submit:
• Your full name
• Email address
• Company or organization name
• Job title
• Phone number (optional)
• Public LinkedIn member ID (e.g., “yrZCpj2Z12”)
• Any additional optional fields (e.g., industry, collaboration preferences)
• LinkedIn “Lite Profile” Data. If you supply your LinkedIn member ID, we use LinkedIn’s Member Data Portability (r_liteprofile) API (once our application is approved by LinkedIn) to retrieve only these fields:
• LinkedIn ID (e.g., “yrZCpj2Z12”)
• First name and Last name (localized)
• Headline (profile headline)
• Profile picture URL
  We do not collect or store any other LinkedIn profile data (such as email, location, or work history).

• Credit/debit card details (processed securely by our third-party payment processor; never stored on our servers)
• Billing name and address
• Billing email address

1.2 Automatically Collected Data

• Log Data. When you visit positive.rs, our servers automatically record:

• Date and time stamps of your requests to our servers
• Cookies and Similar Technologies. We use cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons or local storage) to:
• Remember your preferences (e.g., language, display settings)
• Analyze website usage and performance
• Provide basic security (e.g., CSRF tokens, session management)
• Serve personalized content (if you opt in)

See Section 7 for details and how to manage your choices.

2. How We Use Your Information

We process the personal data we collect for these legitimate business purposes:

a) Event Registration and Management.

• Confirm your registration, send e-tickets, event agendas, and reminders.
• Provide customer support (e.g., answer questions, troubleshoot technical issues).

b) Networking Matchmaking.

• If you supply your LinkedIn member ID, we retrieve your Lite Profile data (first name, last name, headline, profile picture) and use it—together with other participants’ profiles—to generate personalized meeting recommendations at our event.
• We perform secure, server-side matchmaking computations; only our event-management team can view these results.

c) Communication.

• Send you essential event updates, surveys, newsletters, or promotional materials (only if you’ve opted in).
• Respond to your support inquiries or feedback requests.

d) Payment Processing and Fraud Prevention.

• Process ticket purchases via our third-party payment processor (e.g., Stripe or PayPal).
• Detect and prevent fraudulent transactions.

e) Website Administration and Security.

• Monitor and analyze website traffic and usage to improve functionality and user experience.
• Investigate and prevent security incidents (e.g., DDoS attacks, unauthorized access).

f) Legal Compliance.

• Comply with applicable laws, regulations, or valid legal requests (e.g., subpoenas, court orders).
• Enforce our Terms of Service and prevent abuse or misconduct.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR-Specific)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, our legal basis for processing personal data includes:

• Contractual Necessity. We process your registration data (name, email, LinkedIn ID) to perform the contract when you sign up for an event.
• Legitimate Interests. We have a legitimate interest in:
• Providing and improving our networking Services.
• Securing and analyzing our website.
• Preventing fraud.
• Consent. We rely on your consent when you opt in to marketing communications (e.g., newsletters) or LinkedIn data retrieval. You may withdraw consent at any time (see Section 5.2).
• Legal Obligation. We may process your data to comply with regulatory requirements (e.g., tax reporting for paid tickets).

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

4.1 Service Providers and Contractors

We engage third-party service providers to perform certain functions on our behalf, including:

• Payment Processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). They handle payment details; we never store your full payment card information.
• Email and SMS Providers (e.g., SendGrid, Mailgun, Twilio). They send event confirmations, updates, and marketing communications.
• Web Hosting and Infrastructure Providers (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud). They host our website and databases.
• Analytics Providers (e.g., Google Analytics). They help us analyze website traffic, performance, and user behavior.

All service providers are contractually obligated to use your data only for the services we request and to maintain strict confidentiality and security.

4.2 Event Partners and Sponsors

If you register for a partner-sponsored event, we may share your name and headline with the event sponsor(s) so they can invite you to sponsor-specific sessions or follow-up. We will never share your email, phone number, or other personal data without your explicit consent.

4.3 Legal Obligations and Protection of Rights

We may disclose personal data if required to do so by law, any legal process (e.g., subpoena, court order), or governmental request. We may also share your information to prevent or investigate potential wrongdoing, to protect the safety of our Services or others, or to enforce our Trms of Service.
