3. LinkedIn
We maintain a company page on LinkedIn. When you visit, follow or interact with our page (likes, comments, shares, messages), the platform processes your data under its own privacy policy. For LinkedIn, this is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland: LinkedIn Privacy Policy.
Page statistics. LinkedIn provides us with aggregated statistics about visitors and followers of our page (Page Insights). We cannot identify individual people from these statistics. For this processing, FocusNow and LinkedIn are joint controllers under the Page Insights Joint Controller Addendum, under which LinkedIn handles requests from people exercising their data protection rights in relation to Page Insights.
Comments and messages. We see your public profile information and the content of comments or messages you send to our page. We use it to reply and to manage the page.
LinkedIn event registration. When you register for one of our events through a LinkedIn registration form, LinkedIn shares with us the data in the form: first and last name, email address, job title, company and country/region. We use this data only to:
- manage registrations and attendance;
- send you practical information about the event (confirmations, reminders, changes, materials after the event);
- ask for feedback after the event.
We send information about our other events and services only if you tick the consent checkbox in the registration form. You can withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe link in our emails.
4. Cookies
Our website does not use cookies or similar technologies. If we start using them, we will update this policy and ask for your consent where required.
5. Who we share data with
We do not sell personal data. We share it only where needed for the purposes in section 2:
- Service providers acting on our behalf – Hostinger International Ltd (hosting of our website and CRM), Google Workspace (email and office tools). They process data only on our instructions under data processing agreements.
- Social media platforms – as described in section 3.
- Event venues and co-organisers – only the data needed for access to the venue or to run the event.
- Public authorities, courts and advisors – where required by law or needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Transfers outside the EEA. Some of our service providers or their sub-processors may process data outside the European Economic Area, for example in the United States. Where this happens, we rely on an adequacy decision of the European Commission (including the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for certified companies) or on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. You can ask us for more information about these safeguards.
6. How long we keep data
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected for, then delete or anonymise it.
| Data | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Website server logs | For the period set by our hosting provider |
| Enquiries | Up to 2 years after our last contact, unless a business relationship follows |
| Job applications | Up to 2 years, or until you ask us to delete it |
| Event registration data | 12 months after the event |
| Contact data for event and service information (consent) | Until you withdraw consent or ask to unsubscribe |
| Event photos and video | As long as they are published, or until you ask us to remove them |
We may keep data longer where the law requires it or where it is needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
7. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including access controls, encrypted connections (HTTPS) and limiting access to people who need the data for their work.
8. Your rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
- access your personal data and receive a copy;

Sapiegos g. 17, LT-10312 Vilnius, Lithuania, vdai.lrv.lt, or with the data protection authority in the EU country where you live or work. We would appreciate the chance to address your concern first.
