Privacy Policy

The AI Dinner Club (aidinner.co.uk) is operated by Digital Entrepreneur Ltd, based in the United Kingdom. We organise exclusive monthly dinners for AI founders, operators and investors.

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, contact us at duncan@digital-entrepreneur.com.

We collect the following personal data when you register, book an event, or become a member:

• Full name and email address
• Job title, company and LinkedIn profile URL
• Short biography (optional, for your member profile)
• Dietary requirements (for event attendance)
• Payment information (processed by Stripe — we do not store card details)
• Event attendance history and ticket records
• Membership status and subscription details

When you attend as a speaker, we additionally collect your presentation topic, speaker bio, and availability for the event programme.

We use your personal data to:

• Create and manage your member account
• Process event bookings and membership payments
• Send event confirmations, reminders and recaps
• Manage your seat, dietary requirements and guest invitations
• Display your profile in the member directory (if you are an active member)
• Administer speaker profiles and event programmes
• Comply with legal and financial obligations

Our legal basis for processing is contract performance (managing your membership and bookings) and legitimate interests (running the club and communicating event information to attendees).

We share data with the following trusted third parties solely to operate the service:

• Stripe — payment processing and subscription management. Your card details are held by Stripe, not us. See stripe.com/gb/privacy.
• Firebase / Google Cloud — authentication, database and file storage for your account and event data.
• Resend — transactional email delivery (confirmations, reminders, invitations).
• Google Calendar API — creating calendar invites for speakers and attendees where requested.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

By registering or booking, you agree to receive transactional emails related to your account and events. These include:

• Booking and payment confirmations
• Event reminders and venue details
• Dietary requirement requests
• Event recaps and post-dinner content
• Membership notifications and badge awards
• Guest and VIP invitations you initiate

All emails are sent from noreply@aidinner.co.uk. You may contact us to opt out of non-essential communications at any time.

We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. Our site uses browser local storage solely to maintain your authenticated session via Firebase Authentication. No third-party analytics or advertising pixels are present on this site.

We retain your account data for as long as your membership is active. If you cancel your membership or request deletion, we will remove your personal profile data within 30 days. Booking and payment records may be retained for up to 7 years for accounting and legal compliance purposes.

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Erasure — request deletion of your data, subject to legal retention requirements
• Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Restriction — request that we limit how we process your data

To exercise any of these rights, email us at duncan@digital-entrepreneur.com. We will respond within 30 days.

All data is stored on Google Cloud infrastructure with encryption at rest and in transit. Authentication is handled by Firebase Auth. Payment data is handled exclusively by Stripe and never touches our servers. Access to member data is restricted to authorised administrators only.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site following any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
