Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how 8PG, including its website located at 8pgevents.com and any related websites, event pages, membership portals, checkout pages, forms, applications, RSVP pages, ticketing pages, digital properties, communications, and event-related services that link to this Privacy Policy, collects, uses, discloses, stores, protects, and otherwise processes Personal Information.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “8PG,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean 8PG and its owners, officers, managers, employees, contractors, representatives, event staff, service providers, and authorized agents, as applicable. “You” and “your” mean any website visitor, applicant, member, prospective member, ticket purchaser, guest, attendee, invitee, customer, vendor contact, sponsor contact, exhibitor contact, creator, influencer, contractor, or other person who interacts with us, our website, our events, our membership process, our forms, our communications, or our services.

This Privacy Policy applies only to our privacy practices. It does not replace, limit, or modify our separate Terms of Service, Membership Agreement, Event Terms, Waivers, Purchase Terms, Ticket Terms, or other binding agreements that may apply to your use of our website, membership, event access, purchases, attendance, participation, or interactions with 8PG. Those documents may contain additional terms regarding event entry, refunds, chargebacks, conduct, media rights, releases, dispute resolution, membership access, and other contractual matters.

By accessing our website, submitting information to us, applying for membership, purchasing access, registering for an event, communicating with us, attending an event, or otherwise interacting with 8PG, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy.

1. Notice at Collection

At or before the point we collect Personal Information, we collect or may collect the categories of Personal Information described in this Privacy Policy, including identifiers, contact information, transaction information, commercial information, event access information, membership information, communications information, internet and device information, approximate location information, audio, visual, electronic, or similar information, professional or business contact information, inferences, and certain Sensitive Personal Information where necessary for age verification, access control, payment processing, security, fraud prevention, event operations, or legal compliance.

We collect Personal Information for the business and commercial purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to operate our website, process transactions, administer memberships, manage private and access-controlled events, verify age and eligibility, communicate with you, provide customer support, send event and marketing communications, manage security, prevent fraud, process payments, maintain records, enforce agreements, comply with law, and protect our rights.

We retain Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, security, dispute-resolution, chargeback-defense, event-safety, membership, and agreement-enforcement purposes, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

8PG may use analytics, advertising pixels, retargeting tools, social media integrations, sponsor activation tools, conversion tracking, and similar technologies. Some privacy laws may define these practices as “sale,” “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or cross-context behavioral advertising even when no money is exchanged. Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising, you may exercise that right by contacting us at [email protected] with the subject line “Privacy Choices Request,” or by using any privacy choices, cookie preference, or consent management tool made available on our website.

2. Personal Information We Collect

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular person or household, as defined by applicable law.

5. Age Verification and Eligibility Information

Because certain 8PG events, experiences, communications, sponsors, vendors, products, or subject matter may be cannabis-adjacent, hemp-related, cannabis-related, age-restricted, or intended only for adults, our website, membership, events, and related services are intended only for individuals who are at least 21 years of age, unless a specific event or service expressly states otherwise in writing.

We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from individuals under 21 for age-restricted services, events, memberships, or communications. If we learn that we have collected Personal Information from an individual who is not eligible to use our services or attend our events, we may delete, restrict, or retain limited information as reasonably necessary to document the issue, prevent future unauthorized access, comply with law, or protect our legal rights.

6. Biometric, Facial Recognition, and Automated Verification Information

8PG does not knowingly use facial recognition, biometric identification, fingerprinting, retinal scanning, voiceprint identification, or automated biometric identity verification unless expressly disclosed before collection and permitted by applicable law.

If 8PG uses an identity verification, age verification, security screening, ticketing, credentialing, fraud-prevention, or access-control vendor that processes photographs, government identification, facial images, document scans, liveness checks, or similar information, that information will be used only for verification, fraud prevention, security, access control, legal compliance, event safety, or enforcement purposes, unless otherwise disclosed or required by law.

8PG does not use biometric information to create a permanent biometric profile for advertising, behavioral targeting, or unrelated commercial sale. Any biometric or automated verification information, if collected, will be retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the disclosed purpose, legal compliance, security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, event safety, agreement enforcement, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

If applicable law requires specific consent, notice, retention schedules, deletion rights, or vendor controls for biometric, facial recognition, or automated identity verification practices, 8PG will follow those requirements before using those technologies.

We may disclose Personal Information when you direct us to do so, consent to the disclosure, participate in a co-branded event or sponsor activation, register through a third-party platform, interact with a vendor or sponsor, submit information through a partner form, or otherwise authorize the disclosure.

8PG does not sell Personal Information for money in the ordinary meaning of that term.

Some privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” “cross-context behavioral advertising,” or similar terms broadly. Because 8PG may use advertising pixels, retargeting tools, analytics tools, conversion tracking, social media integrations, sponsor activation tools, and similar technologies, certain disclosures of Personal Information may be considered a sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising under applicable law.

Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, cross-context behavioral advertising, or similar data practices, you may exercise that right by contacting us at [email protected] with the subject line “Privacy Choices Request,” or by using any privacy choices, cookie preference, or consent management tool made available on our website.

8PG does not knowingly sell or share Personal Information of individuals under 16.

We will honor legally required opt-out preference signals where required by applicable law and technically feasible.

Payment-related information processed by payment providers.

We use Sensitive Personal Information only for purposes reasonably necessary to provide requested services, verify eligibility, maintain safety and security, process transactions, comply with law, prevent fraud, administer events, enforce agreements, and protect our legal rights, unless otherwise disclosed or permitted by law.

We do not use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information for purposes that would require a separate “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information” link under California law unless we provide that link or another legally required method for exercising that right.

Where applicable law gives you the right to limit the use or disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information, you may exercise that right by contacting us at [email protected] with the subject line “Sensitive Information Request.”

20. Data Retention

We retain Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods are based on the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected, operational need, legal risk, applicable law, and our legitimate business requirements. In general:

Contact, membership, access, ticketing, and event attendance records may be retained for as long as needed to administer membership, manage access, document attendance, enforce agreements, resolve disputes, and maintain accurate business records.
Transaction, payment metadata, accounting, tax, refund, chargeback, and dispute records may be retained for as long as needed for accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, chargeback-defense, collections, audit, and legal purposes.
Age verification, ID verification, security screening, incident, removal, banned guest, and access-control records may be retained for as long as needed to verify compliance, protect event safety, prevent unauthorized access, document incidents, enforce agreements, and defend legal claims.
Marketing and communications records may be retained until you opt out, request deletion where applicable, or until retention is no longer reasonably necessary for our business, legal, or compliance purposes.
Website, analytics, cookie, advertising, retargeting, and device data may be retained according to our analytics, security, marketing, advertising, and platform settings, unless a shorter or longer period is required or permitted by law.

We may retain certain records after your relationship with us ends where reasonably necessary for legal compliance, accounting, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, enforcement of agreements, safety, security, archival, or legitimate business purposes.

21. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information against unauthorized access, acquisition, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

Our safeguards may include, where appropriate, internal access controls, vendor review, risk assessment, employee or contractor controls, data minimization, secure storage practices, incident response procedures, and reasonable technical protections.

No website, system, database, payment platform, transmission method, or storage technology can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for using secure networks, maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials where applicable, and promptly notifying us if you believe your information or account has been compromised.

If we become aware of a data security incident involving Personal Information, we will evaluate the incident and provide notices where required by applicable law.

22. New York Privacy and Security Notice

If you are a New York resident, this Privacy Policy applies to Personal Information and private information we collect, use, disclose, retain, or protect in connection with your interactions with 8PG.

8PG does not use biometric information of New York residents to create a permanent biometric profile for advertising, behavioral targeting, or unrelated commercial sale.

New York residents may contact us at [email protected] to request information about our privacy practices or to submit a privacy-related request. We may verify your identity before processing your request and may deny or limit requests where permitted by law, including where retention is reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, accounting, dispute resolution, legal compliance, event safety, agreement enforcement, or legal claims.

Our website, membership, events, and related services are intended for individuals who are at least 21 years of age, unless a specific non-age-restricted offering expressly states otherwise. We do not knowingly direct age-restricted services to minors, and we do not knowingly collect, sell, or share Personal Information of minors in connection with age-restricted services.

8PG may offer memberships, event access, VIP opportunities, giveaways, promotional benefits, loyalty-style perks, member communications, early access, private invitations, sponsor activations, or other benefits that may require the collection of Personal Information such as name, email address, phone number, membership status, purchase history, event attendance, preference information, or engagement information.

We use this information to administer the applicable membership, access, promotion, benefit, invitation, giveaway, or event-related opportunity. The value of any benefit may vary depending on the nature of the offer, the event, the membership tier, the sponsor activation, operational costs, and the relationship between the benefit and the information needed to provide it.

Participation in such benefits is voluntary. You may withdraw from marketing communications at any time, but withdrawal may limit our ability to provide certain optional communications, invitations, promotional opportunities, or benefits that depend on communication or eligibility verification.

This section is intended to provide notice where a membership benefit, promotional program, loyalty-style offer, giveaway, or event perk may be considered a financial incentive or price or service difference under applicable privacy law.
