MNVC accepts registrations from attendees outside the United States.

MNVC Events LLC is based in the United States, and personal information may be collected, processed, stored, or accessed in the United States. U.S. privacy laws may differ from those in your country of residence.

When required by applicable law, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases to process personal information:

  • Performance of a contract, including processing your conference registration
  • Compliance with legal obligations
  • Our legitimate interests in administering, improving, and securing MNVC and its website
  • Your consent, including for certain marketing communications or optional cookies
  • Protection of legal rights or vital interests where applicable

MNVC uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

These safeguards may include secure website connections, restricted administrative access, secure payment processing, software updates, backups, and service-provider security controls.

No website, electronic transmission, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use caution when submitting information online and should not send highly sensitive information through ordinary email.


11. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to personal information we maintain about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information

These rights may be subject to legal exceptions. For example, we may retain information when required for tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, transaction, legal, or security purposes.

To make a privacy request, email info@mnvc.org with the subject line Privacy Request.

Please describe your request and provide enough information for us to identify the relevant records. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against anyone for exercising an applicable privacy right.


12. Email Choices

13. Cookie Choices

You may manage cookies through:

  • The cookie-preference tool available on MNVC.org

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect certain website features.

Where required by applicable law, MNVC will honor applicable consent choices and legally recognized opt-out mechanisms.


14. Children’s Privacy

MNVC.org and the Musculoskeletal New Ventures Conference are intended for adults.

MNVC does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and individuals under 18 are not permitted to register for the conference.

If we learn that personal information was collected from a child contrary to this policy, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. A parent or guardian who believes that a child has submitted information should contact info@mnvc.org.


15. Third-Party Websites and Services

MNVC.org may contain links to third-party websites, services, hotels, venues, sponsors, speakers, social-media platforms, or other resources.

MNVC does not control the privacy, security, or content practices of third parties. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected directly by another website or organization.

Please review the privacy notices of third-party services before providing information to them.


16. Do Not Track

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not currently a universally accepted standard for responding to all Do Not Track signals, MNVC.org may not respond to every such signal.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a specific browser-based privacy preference or opt-out mechanism, we will take reasonable steps to honor it.


17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in:

  • Our website
