Transferring Personal Information Outside of the EEA

In processing your personal information, it will sometimes be necessary for us to transfer your personal information outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to our group companies and our third-party service providers.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy and the data protection legislation when it is processed in, or otherwise accessed from, a location outside the EEA. In order to ensure this level of protection

“Special Category Data" is data that is deemed more sensitive under data protection regulations, and so needs more protection. Definitions available here.

Although we generally seek to avoid collecting Special Category Data, there are some circumstances in which you may provide it to us (such as when you submit dietary requirements). In such cases, the provision of this information is entirely voluntary and subject to your express consent.

Where we do receive Special Category Data, we will only keep such information for as long as necessary in order to fulfill the purpose for which it was provided and to comply with our obligations under the law.

We may use your personal information to:

• Provide you with information and updates relating to a service you have signed up to
• Ensure you can manage any service that you have signed up to
• Deliver targeted promotional messaging relating to our services
• Deliver targeted messaging relating to products and services of our affiliates (exhibitors, sponsors, media partners)
• Invite you to take surveys related to our products or the products or our affiliates
• Respond to you in relation to any inquiries you may have
• Produce analytics relating to your usage of our products and response to our marketing activities

If you have previously attended one of our conferences or other events, subscribed to one of our services or we have made an assessment of your interests based on your profession or industry, then, in the absence of consent, the legal basis on which we have processed your data and communicated with you is a legitimate interest.  We have a legitimate interest in communicating with you in order to give you information regarding upcoming conferences or our other services.  It is necessary for us to market our services in this way as there is no cost-effective alternative. In balancing our interests against yours, we take into consideration the fact that the amount of your personal data we process is minimal, that it is not sensitive data, that there is a minimal privacy impact, and that you can easily opt-out or unsubscribe at any time.

Your rights under the GDPR include the following:

• The right at any time to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data
• The right to make a subject access request to be informed of what personal data of yours we hold
• The right to have your personal data rectified in the event that it is inaccurate or incomplete
• The right to request the erasure of your personal data
• The right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data, especially where the processing is carried out for direct marketing purposes.
• The right to restrict the processing of your personal data
• The right to data portability (i.e. transfer of your personal data to another organization)

Should you wish to take any complaints or queries further, you have the right to contact the Information Commissioner's Office regarding such issues.
