Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 20, 2026

Drue Kataoka Studios LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates https://www.drue.net and https://speaking.drue.net (the "Site"). This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you submit a booking or contact form, we collect the details you provide — typically your name, work email, phone number, organization, event date, estimated budget, and any message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry and arrange speaking engagements.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the Site. We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, measure traffic, and improve performance. You can refuse cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work as a result.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to respond to booking and contact requests, operate and improve the Site, and — if you opt in — send you occasional updates. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time.

Advertising and analytics

We use analytics and advertising services from third parties to understand how the Site is used and to show our ads to people who may be interested in Drue's keynotes. These currently include Google (Google Analytics and Google Ads), and may include Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Microsoft Advertising, and similar platforms. Through these services:

Third-party vendors, including Google, Meta, and Microsoft, may show our ads on websites, apps, and platforms across the internet.
These vendors use cookies, pixels, and device identifiers to measure ad performance and to serve ads based on your past visits to our Site (sometimes called remarketing or retargeting).

You can manage or opt out of personalized advertising here:

Google: https://adssettings.google.com and https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Meta: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads
Microsoft: https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/ad-settings
Industry-wide opt-outs: https://optout.aboutads.info and https://youronlinechoices.eu

We do not sell your personal information.

Sharing

We share your information only with service providers who help us operate the Site and manage bookings (such as our website host and our speaker booking team), and with the advertising and analytics providers described above. We may also disclose information if required by law. Details you submit through our booking form go to our booking team and are not sold or shared for unrelated purposes.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to object to certain processing. California residents may request that we not sell or share their personal information (we do not sell it). Residents of the EU, UK, and similar regions may exercise rights under applicable data protection law, including GDPR. To make a request, contact us using the details below. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information will be processed in the United States.

Data retention and security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law, then delete or anonymize it. We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children

The Site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date, and where appropriate we will notify you by email.
