Marketing

We may use your personal information to send you (by email, text message, telephone or post) information about Events that may be of interest to you, including exclusive offers, promotions or information on future Events.

We rely on your consent to send you promotional and marketing communications and we will ask for this consent separately and clearly.

Where you have provided your consent for promotional and marketing communications, you have the right to withdraw it at any time by:

  • emailing or writing to us—see below: ‘How to contact us
  • using the ‘unsubscribe’ link in emails or ‘STOP’ number in text messages

We will always treat your personal information with the utmost respect and never share it for marketing purposes with other organisations outside our group.

For more information on your rights in relation to marketing, see 'Your rights’ below.

Who we share your personal information with

We routinely share personal information with:

  • companies within our group;
  • the organisers and hosts of the Events which you register to attend to;
  • service providers, such as third parties we use to help us operate and manage our virtual platform where Events are hosted. To receive a list of such providers please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ below);
  • other third parties we use to help us run our business, e.g. email automation platforms, marketing agencies or website hosts. To receive a list of such third parties please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ below);
  • professional advisers including lawyers, consultants and auditors who provide legal, consultancy and auditing services to us; and
  • our insurers and banks.

Some of those third party recipients may be based outside the European Economic Area — for further information including on how we safeguard your personal data when this occurs, see ‘Transfer of your information out of the EEA’.

We only allow third parties to handle your personal information if we are satisfied, they take appropriate measures to protect your personal information. We also impose contractual obligations on service providers to ensure they can only use your personal information to provide services to us and to you.

We may disclose and exchange information with law enforcement agencies, authorities and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

We may also need to share some personal information with other parties, such as potential buyers of some or all of our business or during a restructuring. Usually, information will be anonymised, but this may not always be possible. The recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations.

Where your personal information is held

Your personal information is usually held at our offices and those of our group companies. However, once shared, it may also be held with our service providers, representatives and agents as described above (see above: ‘Who we share your personal information with’).

Some of these third parties may be based outside the European Economic Area. For more information, including on how we safeguard your personal information when this occurs, see below: ‘Transfer of your information out of the EEA’.

How long your personal information will be kept

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

We will usually keep your personal information while you have an account with us or we are providing services to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information for as long as is necessary:

  • to respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf;
  • to show that we treated you in accordance with the law; and
  • to keep records required by law. For example, we have to keep basic information about our financial transactions with our customers for six years after the year in which they take place for tax purposes.

Different retention periods apply for different types of personal information. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

We will not retain your personal information for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this policy. When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will delete or anonymise it.

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are set out in the table in ‘Further information—the personal information we collect, when and how we use it’ above.

Transfer of your information out of the EEA

To manage our website and the virtual platform where Events are hosted, and deliver our services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA), e.g.:

  • with our service providers located outside the EEA. To receive a list of such providers please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ below);
  • contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ below);
  • with event organisers and hosts located outside the EEA. To receive a list of such entities please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ below);
  • if you are based outside the EEA; and
  • where Events are held outside the EEA.

These transfers are subject to special rules under European and Cyprus data protection law.

Whenever we transfer your personal information out of the EEA, we ensure a degree of protection similar to that afforded in EEA countries is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • We will transfer your personal information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission.
  • Where we transfer your personal information to countries that have not been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal information the same protection it has in Europe.
  • Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal information shared between the Europe and the US.

If you would like further information please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ below).

Keeping your personal information secure

We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

Your rights

You have the following rights in relation to your personal information:

Access

The right to be provided with a copy of your personal information.

Rectification

The right to require us to correct any mistakes in your personal information. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new information you provide to us.

To be forgotten

The right to require us to delete your personal information (in certain circumstances). This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Restriction of processing

The right to require us to restrict processing of your personal information (in certain circumstances). This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal information in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the information's accuracy; (b) where our use of the information is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the information even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your information but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Data portability

The right to receive the personal information you provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or transmit that data to a third party. This right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

To object

The right to object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Not to be subject to automated individual decision-making

The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

Withdraw consent

The right to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to allow you to attend or participate in the Events. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

For further information on each of those rights, including the circumstances in which they apply, please contact us or visit the website of the Commissioner for the Protection of Personal Data (www.dataprotection.gov.cy).

If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please:

  • email, call or write to us—see below: ‘How to contact us’;
  • let us have enough information to identify you;
  • let us have proof of your identity; and
  • let us know what right you want to exercise and the information to which your request relates.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information or to exercise any of the other rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

How to complain

We hope that we can resolve any query or concern you may raise about our use of your information.

The GDPR also gives you right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the European Union (or European Economic Area) state where you work, normally live or where any alleged infringement of data protection laws occurred. The supervisory authority in Cyprus is the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection who can be contacted at 1 Iasonos street, 2nd floor, 1082 Nicosia; tel: 22818456; fax: 22304565; email: commissioner@dataprotection.gov.cy; www.dataprotection.gov.cy.
