We will only ever collect data from you that you consent to share with us.
We collect personal data from you when you register for our event services and when you attend our events.
You should only give us personal data on behalf of someone else if you have their permission to do so or you know that they would not have any objection to us processing their information in accordance with this Privacy Notice.
We are required by law to provide you with information about the purposes for which we use your information and the legal justification for us to use that information. For example, there may be a legal justification for us to use your personal data where:
We need to use your information to perform a contract with you or to fulfil a request originated by you.
You have given your consent to us using your information.
We need to process your personal data to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject.
Providing your personal data to us may be required due to a legal obligation which could be a statutory or contractual obligation, may be on a voluntary basis or may be necessary for us to enter into the contract with you, depending on the purposes for which we collect and use your personal data as set out in this Privacy Notice. However, if you do not provide your personal data to us this may result in disadvantages to you, e.g. we may not be able to provide certain services to you. However, unless otherwise stated, not providing your personal data will not result in legal consequence for you.
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software to protect your online activity. SSL encrypts the personal data you provide to us before travelling over the internet. We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the personal data you provide to us against accidental, unlawful or unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use and other unlawful forms of processing.
You have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
Access. You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we are processing about you, which we will provide back to you in electronic form. For your own privacy and security, in our discretion we may require you to prove your identity before providing the requested information.
Deletion. All your personal data will be deleted at the first opportunity when we no longer require it in relation to each respective event. You have the right to request that we delete personal data that we process about you, except we are not obligated to do so if we need to retain such data in order to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Restriction. You have the right to restrict our processing of your personal data where you believe such data to be inaccurate, our processing is unlawful or that we no longer need to process such data for a particular purpose, but where we are not able to delete the data due to a legal obligation.
Withdrawing Consent. If at any time you are no longer able to participate in a particular event for which we are temporarily storing your details, you can request that all of your personal details are deleted with immediate effect. You can make any request in relation to your personal data by contacting us. (Details under "How to contact us" section of this Privacy Notice.)
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the local data protection authority if you believe that we have not complied with applicable data protection laws.
