  • Unsolicited promotions or follow-ups 
  • Forced exchange of contact details 
  • Mass marketing or automated outreach using TNEM™ contacts 

All business discussions must be exploratory, respectful, and consent-driven.

In alignment with the TNEM™ Privacy Policy, participants must: 

  • Use contact details only for one-to-one, consented communication 
  • Not scrape, store, resell, or misuse participant data 
  • Not add other participants to WhatsApp groups, mailing lists, or CRM systems without explicit consent 
  • Respect requests to disengage or opt out of communication 

Participant data shared during TNEM™ events is for limited networking purposes only. 

Any misuse of personal data constitutes a serious violation of both this Code and the Privacy Policy.

Participants must: 

  • Seek explicit consent before recording audio, video, or taking close-up photographs 
  • Avoid sharing screenshots, recordings, or quotes publicly without permission

Participants are expected to: 

  • Be punctual and attentive 
  • Avoid interruptions or side conversations
