Privacy and Attendee Consent

Sponsors do not receive an unrestricted registration list. The sponsor-facing benefit is the “Attendee Engagement and Opt-In Contact Report,” which combines aggregated engagement metrics with contacts who affirmatively opted in to hear from that specific sponsor.

When an attendee shares information with a sponsor, we identify the sponsor, explain what will be shared, require an unchecked consent box, and record the consent language, date and time, and consent source. Consent may be withdrawn where applicable. Possible shared fields:

• ▪ Name
• ▪ Email
• ▪ Phone (optional)
• ▪ School
• ▪ Graduation year
• ▪ Academic level
• ▪ Areas of interest
• ▪ Application timeline
• ▪ Questions

Administrators determine which of these fields each sponsor may receive. QR-based Law Expo lead collection never overrides consent.

• ▪ Sponsorship is educational and informational.
• ▪ Sponsorship does not guarantee admissions, employment, academic success, recruitment results, or professional licensure.
• ▪ Sponsors may engage in compliant educational outreach and career-awareness activities.
• ▪ The Summit centers HBCU students and alumni while welcoming all people interested in legal education and careers.
• ▪ Attendee data is shared only through affirmative opt-in or in aggregated or anonymized form.
• ▪ Sponsorship does not influence admissions, hiring, or academic decisions.
• ▪ Speaking opportunities are subject to review and program guidelines.
• ▪ Naming recognition does not confer editorial control.
• ▪ Packages and program components may be adjusted in accordance with the governing agreement.
• ▪ The Summit maintains an inclusive, respectful environment and follows applicable nondiscrimination, privacy, employment, and admissions laws.

What is measured

Only interactions on the public parts of the Sponsor Hub — the sponsor directory and individual sponsor profile pages. Nothing inside a sponsor's private workspace is tracked.

How it works

A small first-party tracking helper records an event when a page is viewed or a link is clicked. Each browser is given a random ID stored on the device; only a SHA-256 hash of that ID is ever sent, and a dedupe guard keeps one visitor from inflating the counts.

Who can read it

Anonymous visitors can write events but can never read them. Sponsors see only their own aggregated totals; Summit staff see the Hub-wide roll-up. No one can look up an individual person.

Traffic source

Links carry a simple ?src= tag, so a sponsor can tell whether a visit came from the directory, the QR code at their booth, or their own email blast. No third-party analytics vendor is involved.

Week-over-week trend

Events are bucketed by week so the pre-Summit ramp is visible at a glance, alongside daily activity.
