Privacy Policy

Effective date: 20 September 2026

Foreign Investment Network ("FIN," "we," "us," or "our") operates foreigninvestmentnetwork.com, FIN Magazine, and related events, awards, and membership activities (together, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to visitors, subscribers, event attendees, and members worldwide, wherever you are located.

By using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

When you register for an event through Eventbrite, the information you provide (such as your name, email address, and any registration details) is collected by Eventbrite and shared with us so that we can manage the event and communicate with you about it.

If you are accessing our Services from outside the United Kingdom, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United Kingdom or other countries where we or our service providers (such as Eventbrite) operate.

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Services are intended for a professional, business audience and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
