Privacy policy

Effective September 11, 2026

EXCO 2019 is an editorial website operated by exco2019.com. This policy explains how information is handled when you read the site or contact us. For privacy questions, email support@exco2019.com.

Information from your visit

You can read our articles without an account. We do not offer sign-ups, comment forms, checkout, or a mailing list. We do not add advertising trackers or an audience analytics service to this site.

Our hosting and content delivery providers receive technical information needed to deliver pages and protect their services. This can include an IP address, requested URL, browser information, request time, and error or security information. We use these services to keep the site available and address faults or abuse.

The site is hosted through bunny.net. Its handling of information is described in the bunny.net privacy policy. Our pages also load the AMP runtime from the AMP Project's content delivery network. Your browser makes a request to that service when it loads the page. Images and fonts used by this site are served from our own site assets.

Email you send us

If you email us, we receive your address, message, and any attachments you choose to send. We use that information to reply and deal with your request. Please do not send passwords, payment details, or other sensitive information.

We keep correspondence for as long as needed to handle the matter and any related follow-up, legal obligation, or dispute. You can ask us to delete correspondence by writing to the same address. We may need to keep some records where the law requires it.

Cookies and browser storage

We do not intentionally set cookies for advertising, profiling, or audience measurement. Hosting, security, browser, or third-party delivery services may use technical storage or receive connection information as part of their operation. You can manage cookies and local storage through your browser settings.

Links to other websites

Our articles link to manufacturers, retailers, community discussions, and other resources. Those websites have their own privacy practices. Following a link takes you to that service; this policy does not control how it handles your information.

Who may handle information

Service providers that support hosting, content delivery, security, and email may process information needed to perform those tasks. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably needed to protect the site and its users. We do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising.

Providers may process information in countries other than your own. The protections that apply depend on the service and relevant law. We use reasonable care when selecting and configuring services, but no online system can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and requests

Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information, or to object to or restrict certain uses. Contact us at support@exco2019.com to make a request. We may ask for enough information to verify that the request concerns your own data.

We will respond as required by applicable law. You may also have the right to raise a concern with the relevant privacy authority. We do not require you to create an account to make a privacy request.

Editorial identity and assistance

Mara Ellis is the site's editorial pen name and a synthesized persona. The portrait is generated artwork. Articles and illustrations are produced with AI assistance. Recommendations express editorial judgments based on documented product information and attributed sources; the persona's name and portrait do not establish personal ownership or hands-on testing.

Generated product illustrations are labeled on the page. They show the general product form and should not be used to confirm exact controls, dimensions, or included accessories.

Commercial links

Our current articles do not use affiliate links, and we do not receive a commission from their product links. If we add affiliate links in the future, we will identify the relevant commercial relationship where readers encounter those links and update this policy. A future commission would not add to the price you pay.

Children's information

This site is intended for adult event planners and hosts. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can address it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the site's services or practices change. The effective date above identifies the current version. Please contact support@exco2019.com if you have a question about a change.
