3. Place Cards and member privacy
Place Cards are a free networking feature available to registered members of The Table.
Only logged-in members are intended to have access to the Place Cards directory and individual Place Cards. Paid membership is not required.
When you create a Place Card, information you choose to include in its member-visible fields may be viewed and searched by other registered members.
Your email address and phone number are not displayed to other members by default. These details are used to manage your account and communicate with you.
If optional contact-sharing features are introduced, you will be able to choose what additional contact information to share.
You can update your Place Card as your skills, interests and circumstances change.
Please remember that other members may retain or share information they have viewed. We ask everyone to respect the privacy of fellow members.
4. Memberships, payments and events
When you purchase a membership or register for an event, we collect information necessary to process your registration and provide the services you purchase.
Payments are processed through secure third-party payment providers. The Table does not directly store complete payment card numbers.
We may retain transaction records for accounting, tax and administrative purposes.
5. Pull Up a Chair gifting
Our Pull Up a Chair program allows individuals to purchase memberships or event tickets for others.
If you purchase a gift, we may collect the recipient’s name and contact information to deliver it.
Members may voluntarily opt in to be considered for complimentary tickets purchased through our Buy It Forward program.
Participation is optional. Gift recipients may accept or decline an invitation.
We will not disclose a recipient’s personal contact information to a gift purchaser without the recipient’s permission.
6. Email communications
Members may receive essential communications about their accounts, memberships, purchases and event registrations.
Newsletters and promotional communications are optional. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link provided in those messages.
Unsubscribing from promotional emails will not prevent essential account or transaction notifications.
7. Cookies and website services
The Table operates on WordPress.com and uses third-party plugins and services to support website hosting, member accounts, analytics, security and other functionality.
These services may use cookies or similar technologies to keep users logged in, protect the website and understand how visitors use it.
You can manage cookies through your browser and any cookie-preference controls made available on our website.
8. How we share information
We share personal information only when reasonably necessary to operate The Table, including with:
- Website hosting and technical service providers
- Membership and registration service providers
- Payment processors
- Email and communications providers
- Event partners when necessary to manage your registration or attendance
- Authorities when required by law
We do not provide members’ contact information to other members outside the Place Card sharing choices they have made.
9. Data security and retention
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information, including using established website hosting and account-management services.
No online platform can guarantee complete security.
We retain information as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain required business records, resolve disputes and meet legal obligations.
10. Your choices and rights
You may request to:

If we learn that a child under 13 has provided personal information without appropriate authorization, we will take steps to delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy as The Table grows, introduces new services or changes its practices.
The most recent version will be available on our website with the date of the latest update.
