Alpha Media Holdings ("AMH") is committed to protecting the privacy of delegates and users of the AMH Events platform. This Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Data We Collect

• Identity data: name, email address, mobile number, job title, and organisation.
• Profile photo: uploaded voluntarily.
• Event activity: sessions bookmarked, polls answered, Q&A questions submitted, check-in status.
• Communications: messages sent through the in-app messaging feature.
• Device data: device type, OS version, and push notification token (for sending alerts).
• Usage data: screens visited and time spent (aggregated analytics only).

2. How We Use Your Data

• To provide event services: agenda, check-in, networking directory, content library.
• To send session reminders, event announcements, and messages from other delegates (where you have opted in).
• To improve future events using anonymised, aggregated analytics.
• To meet legal and contractual obligations.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only:

• With the event organiser (client) for the specific event you registered for.
• With service providers (cloud hosting, email delivery) under strict data-processing agreements.
• Where required by law.

4. Directory Visibility

Your name, organisation, and photo are visible to other registered delegates in the delegate directory by default. You can opt out in Settings → Directory Visibility at any time.

5. Data Retention

Your identity record is retained across AMH events so you do not need to re-register. Event-specific data (bookmarks, poll responses, check-in records) is retained for 12 months after the event. You can request deletion of your account at any time from Settings → Delete my account.

6. Your Rights

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Object to or restrict certain uses of your data.

To exercise these rights, use Settings → Request my data, or contact: privacy@alphamedia.co.zw

7. Security

We use industry-standard encryption (TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest) and access controls to protect your data. Biometric authentication is handled entirely on-device — we never receive biometric data.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy periodically. We will notify you of material changes via the app or email.
